Flore

As planned, we walked into Flore village for the morning communion service. It proved to be a windy, although sunny, day - all the flowers from the hawthorn bushes were being blown off covering the surface of the canal sometimes in an almost complete carpet.



Along the way to Flore we saw a group of llamas in a field - the one of the top of the mound looked just like 'king of the castle'.


The people of Flore were very welcoming and the organist was especially pleased to hear that we had come as a result of his entries onto A Church near You.


Back at the boat we set off southwards - although we were already moored at Stowe Hill, we wanted to use the sanitary station at Gayton - as well as a pleasant afternoon. At times the sunshine was quite warm. We moored back where we started ready to moor in the marina in the morning, load up the car and set off back. We plan to call at Oxford on the way.
