Another sunny day for Astrid, Chris, Alan & Rita working in the cemetery today (14 June 2026). All working together in Section H today, cleaning weeds and grass from the graves, Alan’s favourite type of work (Not!), he would rather be cementing back kerbs and posts but it’s too hot for cementing.
Alan & Chris worked on the Vicary H16 while the Astrid worked on H22 Boulting grave and Rita worked on H42 Stockham and H41 Dare graves, all meeting up in the middle on the H20 Nicholls, Dare H40 and Letherby H39. The grass around the graves clipped with the shears as it was so long, the council grass cutting team are at present short staffed so not been in yet. It was hot work today but they managed to work mostly in the shade. The boys hauled another full bag of debris up to the dumping area and brought two empty bags back! A bit too optimistic today but they are ready and waiting for next week.
Rita planted s few foxglove plants which will hopefully flower next year. The flower garden is looking nice, she didn’t take her camera over to take a photo and she was too tired to walk back to get it, hopefully someone will remember to take one next week.
Luckily Chris took an area photo of all the graves that have recently been worked on.
