Sunday, day of rest

We are going to church today in Hillmorton. 

Our mooring last night was just around the corner from the bottom lock, so not far for us to walk.

And here's the church, St John's. 

What is it with us and church? Yet another special service. The local branch of the British Legion were having a new flag dedicated so the church was quite full. As always it was an uplifting service. After, as always, there was cake. Also sandwiches and quite a buffet. 

After church we went to the canalside café for a sandwich lunch and then cast off to come up through the locks.

We've only moved about 3 miles today. The forecast was for storms early afternoon and we managed to get to Barby Wood Bridge before the heavens opened. Did our usual trick of stopping under the bridge until the worst of the rain had passed and then moored up pretty quickly.
