The Parish/May Day/Rogation Walk.....

was glorious, until the last half hour or so, with about 100 walkers for all/part of the 11 mile circuit around the parish, which takes in five churches, each serving food relevant to the time of day, and five pubs, if you've a mind.

We served 90+ ploughmans's lunches at Shustoke church between noon until 2.00pm, with great support from Jan, I and H.

When cleared up I came home for a proper cup if coffee and a sit down before going to NW church, where the walk ended, with afternoon tea, to lead a short service of Evensong, which was well attended.

Hallelujah!

It was a glorious walking day until 3.00pm, when the Heavens opened, drenching quite a few before they reached NW.

I drove through two floods between home and there.

This is the aftermath, two more tablecloths in the wash still.

Rain seems imminent!

This was the lunch venue, the first arrivals:
