Edith May will sail away

Sauntering down to the waterside church of St Margaret of Antioch at Lower Halstow on the river Medway a vista from the past unfolds as the old church shares the rising tide with Edith May nestling alongside the old brickworks dock, now in her 105th year but looking as good as she ever did and probably better.

Next thing Ill be booking a trip on her.
