#31DaysofGraves 27: Portrait The two coins inserted in the stonework of this grave drew my attention. I think it reflects who the monarch was when Selina was born ( Victoria) and when she died ( Geirge V)? Selina Isabella Snowdon, born 1869. Does anyone else have any theory about the two coins?

I love London transport poster art! 2 autumnal and one fun one! These beautiful posters were commissioned by London Transport in 1960. The artist was John Burningham, who would later go on to write and illustrate many children's books.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 25. Tree The tree of life. Stunning and really unusual headstone Rev John Wesley Hetherington 1878 -1964 Brampton old church. We couldn’t work out what it was made of! It looks like metal but isn’t. Also wondered if it was made with a mould?

Further to my previous “amusing” post… And here we are. Someone who didn’t go to IKEA Numbskull x.com/bbcnwt/statu...

#31daysofgraves Day 24 Contrast The small grave is a headstone to 3 young children who died. It's in a common grave. The huge (in my opinion) monstrosity directly opposite to it is to a local bigwig. Quite a contrast. RC church Formby

Brian and George Fell are father and son. Makers first and foremost, they love the physicality of working in steel, which is a versatile and recyclable material. On display at The Atkinson #Caturday

2/2. When he went down for breakfast the man was washing himself and claimed he had come to tune the piano. I’ve heard adultery called some things in my time… Watch this space!

I’m researching a soldier who died in WW1. I thought as he was so young I wouldn’t find out much. Wrong! His parents’ divorce papers are online. I found so much I’m doing a blog. The newspapers reported it. Hilariously the husband claimed he heard the corespondent snoring. 1/2

#31daysofgraves Day32 Air Renee White I looked up the date of her death and there was a crash in 1968 when a british plane crashed into an autobahn near munich. No survivors. Tragic. My photo of the British grave I found a photo of the German memorial aviation-safety.net/asndb/331784

Everyone of a certain age remembers where they were on the day this happened #Aberfan

#TextileTuesday St Mary’s church Hay. The fabric is on two large doors, protected by glass. Very unusual.

Margaret Whitcomb Pearl “Rain” Very apt!

Remembering my grandfather who died on this day in 1914. My nan had to struggle alone with 4 boys He talks of moving nearer home. It wasn’t to be. He died on his 40th birthday. I often think of the nurse who gave him that paper and pencil to write his last letter historicalclues.blogspot.com/2015/

#thicktrunktuesday Literally a thick trunk…no tree left! My local churchyard Formby yesterday

#31daysofgraves No 20 fire epigraph in memory of a blacksmith's life. My sledge and hammer both declined, My bellows they have lost the wind, My fire extinct, my forge decayed, And in the dust my vice is laid. My coals have spent, my iron gone, Luke Ralph, Blacksmith who died aged 49 Settle

My dentist rocking the #Halloween vibe but I’m not at all sure about the towel, I mean ghost!! 👻

#weekPforpaper #AlphabetChallenge My photo of the first page of a letter my grandad wrote to my nan when he was dying. He thought he was going home and had died when she got the letter. he had a head wound hence the scrawl. I transcribed it.

Just looking through one of my mother in law's old cookbooks. I would guess early 1950s or possibly 1949, the year she married. . This delight is called "mock roast" and is made up of left over liver or offal. You're welcome.

Sorry, what!!!??? I finished the Observer cryptic crossword in half an hour yesterday and I’m 73. Even Donald Trump could do this! #Patronising.

One of the oldest graves I’ve come across The Latin ledger stone seems to commemorate Thomas Errington, Maria his wife, and a Maria Howard I’m not sure of the first date (1677?) but interestingly the second has the year 1668 scratched on later. #MemorialMonday Chollerton

#31daysofgraves Day 19 Water This memorial in my local churchyard is to a Captain's wife who drowned. 15 years later so did he. He had survived the shipwreck that she died in. It’s a tragic tale that I researched historicalclues.blogspot.com/2025/02/tale...

Yes……..
