Strange place to eat a Sandwich!

I am still managing to avoid shopping!! Today was quite hard as it was pay day, also my lovely friend bought some lovely thrifty finds today. I was feeling a bit sorry for myself as I have a cold and a sore foot/leg. So I did not want to walk to my favourite park which is up a steep hill. There is a closer park which is quite popular with adults who like to sit in the sun and drink copious amounts of alcohol all day long. Funnily enough I did not fancy sharing a bench with them.

5 minutes from my office is an old graveyard. it is no longer in use but is designated as a nature reserve. I was aware of this and imagined swathes of grass and weed's with bits of stone sticking out here and there.  I could not have been further from the truth.


It was quiet and busy all at the same time, people wandering down the footpath's as a short cut. People walking their dog's and their kids.

I could have done with a more substantial bench!


It was comfy enough for a bite to eat.

I did have some company,

I took lots of pictures of the memorials. This was my favourite.


This was a once beautiful tribute from parents to their 14 year old daughter who died whilst cycling. You can imagine when it was new and the girl statue was intact. an amazing memorial. I will defiantly be back to explore some more and enjoy a peaceful lunch.

Oh my what super photos. I love wandering around old churchyards and cemeteries, always have done. I think they are such peaceful places, and you can learn so much about days gone by just looking at the memorials.
