More Than Miriam

One day, a travelling art dealer arrived at the front door of my grandma and grandad's home, selling cheap art to make a quick penny. Grandad looked through his selection, and to help him out, bought a painting called Masts at Sunset by Charles Bartlett for a small amount of money.

That painting still hangs in my Grandma's lounge, and one day, wanting to know more about it, I tried looking it up on google. Turns out Charles Bartlett is a known artist, whose obituary appeared in the guardian, and Masts at Sunset is now worth close to five hundred pounds. Who knew?

Two thousand and sixteen years ago, a woman arrived at an inn in Bethlehem, with her husband and unborn child, and that night the saviour of the world was born. Who knew?
