And so back to Watlington.
An informal sign, showing a line drawing of a friar, and the label 3/4 mile. An old fashioned black and white finger signpost on the edge of Watlington. The destinations indicated include Oxford and Wallingford.

A 1967 window by John Piper. There are different explanations of it online, but surely it's Heb 4.12? "The word of God cuts more finely than any double edged sword"
A mainly blue stained glass window. There is a red sword from top to bottom, and a pair of hands holding an open book in front of it.

Attractive and interestingly shaped church at Pishill. It's shaped like a T, with the altar at the end of one of the arms, and so hidden from a large part of the church. The pulpit is at the centre, as you'd expect.
A flint built church, with a small belfry at the near end. Reredos behind the altar. A ceramic work, showing a lamb with flag in the centre, and the writing "The lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world."

A Muscovy duck looking stern. A white thatched cottage, with the woodwork picked out in green. A narrow boat moving on the canal, in a snowy landscape.

A cold, crisp day, great for a walk. There were quite a few grey wagtails along the canal side.
A canal lock on the Kennet and Avon, in frosty weather. Winter vegetation turned white by a hard frost. A green and cream coloured narrowboat in a landscape with a thin snow covering.

Flooding in Oxfordshire: what can we do?
