Church Painting

I was born in Great Waldingfield in Suffolk and baptised and married in the village church there. Some years ago my parents gave me and my husband a painting of the church by a local artist. The painting shows the church and some surrounding cottages and you can see the beginning of the lane that lead to my grandfather's farm. Before he retired my husband worked on National Nature Reserves in different parts of the county. When our daughter was born he worked in Cumbria on Moor House Nature Reserve - the highest reserve in England - and we lived in the highest inhabited house in England, about seven miles up a track from the village of Garrigill. Our daughter was born when we lived there and we had always promised to take her back to see the house one day. She is now 31 and the house was demolished some years ago but last week we made a 'pilgrimage' back to Moor House. On our first evening we went into the pub in Garrigill where we spent many a happy hour back in the 70s. The pub had been closed for a couple of years but has now been re-opened so we no longer knew the landlord. However, the first thing I noticed when I walked through the door (apart from the fact it had changed very little over the 30 years since we had left) was a copy of "my" painting beside the fireplace. I asked the landlady what her connection was with this village in Suffolk but she had apparently bought it just because she liked it and didn't even know where it was. It's not as if the painting was a famous one - the artist used to be a dentist! What are the chances that it would turn up in our old local about 250 miles from its place of origin?
