We had booked a space in the Saltisford Canal Centre in Warwick, and arm created by the old end of the Warwick and Birmingham canal, now assimilated into the Grand Union. We have stayed here before and are members of the Saltisford Canal Trust. So it was lovely to be welcomed and to be given a lovely mooring. We had dinner on the deck at our very quiet end of the arm. The roses are a gift from Pete for Elizabeth's 22nd Ordination Anniversary. Can it be 22 years????
The next day we trained our way to Oxford and back and on the Sunday, we made our way to the Parish Church. We were delighted to find that it was a key player in the Warwick Folk Festival
, another surprise for our visit. The worship included a folk singer and a Morris dancing side who danced us all out to Lord of the Dance. We spilled out to a busy sight of Morris sides dancing up and down the street between the Church and Castle. In proper Morris order, we went to the pub, the wonderful brick observer of such events over hundreds of years. Fabulous day!We stayed in Warwick doing a few days of work aboard and in London and then welcomed friends from Charleston, Carolina on the Thursday. On their way up to Northumberland to work with churches including Holy Island, they stopped with us for dinner, having found a Warwick B&B. What a wonderful reunion!
