DD1 is visiting friends in the New Forest and as usual when she is there she checks on the family grave at Ringwood (DH’s grandparents, his parents and our baby son) and tidies it up as necessary. (We decided against it for DH so he is buried in the village churchyard here.)
She has just sent me a pic and reported that it is clean, tidy and peaceful and that has just knocked me sideways
