The equinox has occurred, symbolising the start of light winning over darkness, and marking the end of the year. The author is on vacation, but his partner Jools has to work half a day before they can celebrate together with her colleagues. Despite the author’s lack of enthusiasm to work, he completes his tasks before embarking on a mini-church crawl. He begins his journey by driving through Dover and Folkestone to drop Jools off at work. He then drives to Penshurst Place, a village built around the Sidney family home since Tudor times, to revisit the church filled with memorials and tombs. He pays a donation of five pounds to the church before moving on to Speldhurst, where he cannot find parking near the church, but decides not to check it out due to closed porch doors. As it is pouring with rain, he continues his trip to Groombridge, where he attempts to redo his shots but fails as it is dark and almost certainly locked. He drives to Tunbridge Wells, where he parks in a high-level car park before visiting the church, shedding light on the finer details he did not previously capture. After sitting in on a service, he speaks to a warden, explaining that photographing churches is something he enjoys. He leaves to buy the Big Issue from a young man he had promised to support and heads back to the car in heavy rain. He then drives to Stop 24 for coffee and something to eat before picking up Jools from her celebratory meal.
