Hi Anne and Listers,
BOUQUETS to Burton and Two Wells cemeteries. We have family (GRAHAM) there,
and some years back Mum and her cousin, had a headstone marked for the
grave. I believe at the time there was a lot of work happening, in the way
of weeding and general tidying, was looking good.
BRICKBATS to the vandals, do you think that was a recent happening? I
wonder if the Cem Auth knows about it? Funny thing we drive past Chelt
often, and I often think that things look different, and wonder if there has
been another attack. Like you I wonder where their brains are. Got a
pretty good idea though. I spose on a dark and windy night it happened.
Steph.
