Beautiful in a strange way. Winter shows the amazing structure of trees.

November – changing weather views!
All the photos in the album link below were taken within a few days of each other, yet the weather is so different! (Can I give e mention to Gary Staples who took the drone shots)
Keep your eyes peeled for Fungi.
Its a damp day today but here are some seasonal photographs of fungi that were spotted around the cemetery by one of our committee members, Carola Klein.
Startling Cemetery Photographs.
Gary Staples takes some amazing photographs in Brandwood End and has kindly agreed that we can feature them on our site. He uses many enhancement techniques, often producing 3D photographs! Take a look at our facebook site to see lots of these!
Two hours well spent!
The weeds were taking control in the Civilian Garden of Remembrance and so we thought we needed to take them in hand, seeing as the hedges look so smart!
Our thanks to Lisa for stepping into the breach at very short notice, so three of us ‘set to’ and pruned, cut back and weeded. Looking good now.
You can see that we made use of the ‘poo’ kindly donated by the carriage horses!!
Tidying up the Civilian Garden Hedge
Our thanks to the Paul and his team for helping us to keep this hedge under control.
Covid precautions!
Litter picks take on a whole new regime in these Covid aware times. Pre litter pick we need to make sure we have all the relevant notifications for attendees to read, and test and trace paperwork ready for everyone to complete.(As well as emailing and social media sharing!)
Following a socially distanced ‘pick’ everything needs to be washed or thoroughly cleaned! All adding time and effort- but all essential in these weird times. Thanking you all for taking care during our event.
Autumn approaches.
Our first Fairy Ring ! Last year we had some huge rings around the cemetery so keep your eyes peeled and please post photos on our facebook site, or e mail them to us to display on our web page.
Sunflowers bloom in Brandwood End.
Today, in the cemetery, we stumbled across two people quietly tending a grave that was overshadowed by a group of fantastically tall Sunflowers. It appears these seeds were left over from some planted, and tended with loving care, in the ladies garden yet the grave side ones had far outgrown the others!!
September Litter Pick
Forward notice that on Saturday September 5th we will be holding our litter pick in the cemetery. Meet 10am at the Lodge till 11.30am.
In these strange Covid times we will be operating in a ‘safe environment’, so we ask that you bring your own ‘litter pick’, if you have one. The Friends can provide pickers (suitably cleansed) for those that don’t have them and bags- but suitable footwear should be worn and gloves are recommended.
