The service was a contemporary Anglican service. The sermon was about Jesus' temptations and the vicar did a great job of making each one applicable. If you want to check it out: www.burfordchurch.org.
We took a picture with our B&B hosts who were absolutely delightful, kindred spirits really. Look up The Jays in Carterton if you're ever here.
At the suggestion of our hosts, we decided to skip seeing the Downton Abbey church in Bampton and spend our time driving through the Cotswolds. I would say it was time well spent.
We stopped for lunch in Stow on the Wold.
Going at a leisurely pace, we decided to head to our accommodations for the night: Thornbury Castle.
It's next to the parish church.
The views are lovely.
We sat in the courtyard and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine.
Then we headed into the dining room for dinner then back to the room for dessert (from the picture above) and tea.
All in all it was a delightful, brilliant day.
Fun Fact: I found out that my friend's family had a connection to Thornbury Castle. Such fun!
