Lovely send off from St Hilda’s Church, Sherburn after a hymn, readings and prayers. Once again a steep climb to return to the Wolds Way and the ridge above the A64. Today has been very hot. We came across 2 gentlemen sitting backs against the fence just enjoying the wonderful view and putting the world to rights - priceless. Later we took our lunch break in a small paddock which was full of wild orchids and cowslips, it was really pretty. Then it was downhill (thank goodness) back to the A64 through Knapton and on to St Martin’ Church on the beautiful Scampston Estate. Church was locked so we took rest in the shade of a tree in the churchyard and prayed for the church and it’s community. Then only about another mile to Rillington where retired vicar Pip Sharpe offered everyone much needed refreshments. Thank you Pip.
Blessing for today: God of our pilgrimage, bring us with joy to the eternal city founded on rock and give to our earthly cities the peace that comes from above, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
Cooler weather is coming! Lovely to read about your day! Well done everyone
