snargate church in romney marsh, kent

i screeched to a halt on a country road after spotting this remote & dilapidated church hidden in a clump of tall trees

at first all seemed sad and despoiled, but there are a few things that will please painters and connoisseurs of vernacular art ... not least the postcards showing this 1986 painting by john piper

glenn to the rescue

after a nocturnal someone who shall remain anonymous had left me two broken sacks of flour to deliver, glenn dashed upstairs to the dry goods store & returned with two replacements ... net weight equals 2x32 kilos equals 64 kilos equals 141 pounds by my calculations
