We went first to the 10 am service at Great Bourton church - it was a combined one for all of the churches in the benefice. As so often is the case, most of the congregations from the others seemed to treat this as a 'week off' - or were all away visiting relatives!
There were about 14, including ourselves, and we were made very welcome when we arrived. The service was conducted by Bishop Jonathan Meyrick, who is now retired and lives nearby. He gave an excellent sermon and the local organist also good. Coffee and cakes were on offer afterwards and we had a number of interesting conversations. Indeed, we could hardly get away - it was around noon when we were back on the boat.
The blog for the rest of the day will be quite short - dinner was a roast based on using some of the turkey and trimmings from Christmas Day!
