Worship and waiting . . .

Wheaton Aston church does not seem very large from the outside, but is surprisingly spacious inside. The worship this morning was a Family Communion Service, but as was said, being the start of the half-term holiday week, many of the regular families were away.

Nevertheless, it was good to be there and share in a more informal liturgy than the one we normally use.

Having got back from church I set off for Brewood. Just as I was setting off, my brother and family were approaching on their hire boat from the bridge behind me. We spoke briefly but they were planning to stop again for water (why I am not sure - they only filled up yesterday afternoon!).

I continued, and moored by Bridge 12 at Brewood at about 1.15pm. Gwyneth is due to come out for the night, and here will be a shorter walk into the village for a meal than where I was moored on the way up.

So, I will now await her arrival.
