Musical Postlude . . .

Gwyn had to get back to Netherton by mid-morning, so we went for an early morning walk around Mountsorrel before she left at 9.00am and I went up to St. Peter's Church for BCP Mattins.

I have not been to such a service for more years than I care to remember, although BCP Evensong is still very much a part of my regular worship pattern. It was a fully sung service with 5 hymns, psalm and canticles, and it was a real blessing to me. There were about 20 folk there altogether including the choir of 3 men and 3 women.

After lunch I decided to move on a bit from Mountsorrel towards Loughborough, so that is what I did. There were a lot of boats about with folk enjoying the hot sunshine.

There were some folk who were also enjoying a surfeit of alcohol in their system which caused somewhat erratic behaviour when steering a boat or when swimming in the canal.
