Cloister chilling

I'm catching up on posts from yesterday at the moment; once I started crossing the wide open spaces of Lincolnshire my mobile signal got very patchy. 

I ended the day at Lincoln Cathedral with Evening Prayer - there weren't many of us there and it was a simple, said service in the St Hugh's Shrine at the east end. Most of the clergy community and regulars are on holiday. So it made for a quiet and intimate service which reminded me of our Chapel services at Launde. 

Popped into Tesco afterwards for fuel (£6.30 to refill, after travelling around 120 miles - mopeds are very economical!) and to pick up some fruit for dinner. Then found a lovely quiet spot in some woods just outside Lincoln and set up camp. 

All in all, very relaxing ... a mood expressed perfectly by the incongruous but wonderful deckchairs laid out for visitors in the cathedral cloisters ...
