Hello everybody. Thank you for your wonderful prayer support which we are rejoicing in at the tired and of day 5. Actually I shall come clean and tell you this is Revd Gay Pay on behalf of Becky. We hope she has gone to bed and may even be asleep. We are three and three tonight here in Northampton.   Today has been long and at times wet as we have waded  deep through fields and got wet feet more than you'd like to know!  White vanman Dave has darted in and out of the route with sustenance and shelter when it was raining at lunchtime.  22 miles of just keeping going along the canals and roads. There has been a lot of laughter. Seems to me the jokes got cornier as we got tireder. Matt continues to unerringly guide us and bear patiently with the inevitable "Are we nearly there?"  We had morning coffee at the church where Guy Fawkes plotted to blow up parliament. It has the rather challenging dedication to the "BVM Mary and Saint Leodegadarius" . Not far from the hospital we met a wonderful woman called Mary who was waiting for us at a  church along the way with biscuits! She then guided us into the very vast Northampton Hospital.  We were already soaked to the skin so were hugely grateful to be led through the hospital rather than round it.  Becky thinks she was an angel.  We were met on a bridge on the way in by two local street pastors and there was a small but precious group of us that gathered in the hospital chapel to worship led by chaplain George. Grateful thanks to our  hosts Jo and Cathy for a super meal and beds and now here with Nicky and Stuart. Can't wait to do to bed! God bless and good night.
