and with it she would like to prick
all over the ground
then shout "LOOK WHAT I FOUND"
and NO, it's not JUST a red brick!
You know who you are...chuckle...thanks for the help!
Another great day...the weather was perfect (clear, not too hot, a bit breezy so my notes are only barely legible). Got tons done, matched three more monuments with bases WITH the help of a photo sent in by a reader, thank you so much JT. THEN I got lucky and actually found a monument base that no one had beat me to. Now this sounds like no big deal but the cemetery is only one acre (ish) and there have been a lot of volunteers working on the site and I'm the pedantically fastidiously methodical type who likes to do one square at a time (plod plod plod insert tortoise picture here plod plod plod) and it finally PAID OFF!! oh yes, being slow and careful may not get you the easy wins, but it does help you find the hidden gems. I will have to check measurements carefully next visit in order to identify the grave.
I'm thinking about doing a guided tour (from a heritage and archaeology point of view) of the site when I'm done so if anyone is interested do send me an email, I will try to pick a date that is not on a long weekend..
Tired, dirty, happy...and seeing the end in sight and not totally happy that it's almost done...this has been a LOT of fun and I don't want it to end just yet...
