THE wet summer hasn't dampened the spirits of the Revd John Bone, Bishop of Reading on his 250-mile walk around Berkshire even when he has had to cope. with the unexpected. In Reading for instance, the transport' provided by one church was a tandem. "Have you ever tried riding a tandem wearing hiking boots?," said the Bishop. June 14 was also an unusual day, especially for Mrs Julia Birt and baby Matthew who bumped into Bishop John at Asda's in Lower Earley (right), and for 78-year-old Mrs Ethel Blackwell (below) who had coffee with him at Trinity Church. For the parishioners of Shinf'ield led by their vicar, Simon Baker (top), it was also a special day. It isn't often you welcome your bishop on a motorway bridge. Perhaps the highlight, however, was lunch at Shinfield C of E School (bottom) where Bishop John took his turn in the queue with the children. It was after all just part of a day in his walk.
