Last night’s Indian meal was great. Even better than the food was the air conditioned restaurant! Tim took two Benadryls before his two pints of King Cobra so his walk back to the B&B was a bit wobbly.

Cirencester is a beautiful town with the biggest and richest church we’ve seen that wasn’t actually a cathedral. One of the more interesting displays was a Lego cathedral built as a fund raiser! The town itself was very picturesque.

Today’s walk was again hot but mercifully fairly flat. We saw a lot more people out walking but almost all of them were with their dogs; most of the day we were close to the Churn river. At Chedworth we stopped for lunch on a shaded bench in the churchyard. We couldn’t get into the church because the vicar said he was filming. The Seven Tuns pub was closed until July 27th because they were forced to self isolate and so our hoped for cold soft drinks vanished into nothingness, so we refilled our camelbacks from the village spring, using a filter of course, and the water was beautifully cool. Earlier in the day we saw 2 biplanes doing synchronized acrobatics with wing walkers on top! The loop-the-loop was breathtaking.
