Waking the Dead? Good Grief!

Good Grief!

Waking the Dead…

“Every day above ground is a good day.” ~ Al Pacino

Welcome to a stroll among the dead with the Graveyard Squirrel – a seeker of elusive ancestors and a wanderer of cemeteries.

See you on the other side?

Memento Mori

Just a thought for #GoodFriday from Jim Morrison... “Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.” #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones
#WayBackWednesday to the day that my favourite earthly angel made the acquaintance of my favourite stone angel here at York Cemetery... #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones #YorkCemetery
Just said ‘Good Afternoon’ to one of my favourite angels and there are several others just as beautiful and all waiting to be discovered here at York Cemetery. AND on most weekends, you can usually catch at least one earthly ‘angel’ wearing a very fetching high-viz jacket flitting between the tombstones too... #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #YorkCemetery #TeeAndTombstones
It’s Friday and I’m wandering glorious as a daffodil... #GraveyardSquirrel #TeeAndTombstones #HistorySleuth #YorkCemetery #FridayFeeling
Just spent the morning tidying this grave for my 2 x Great Grandfather and his family. Although I never knew him - there is a connection of reassurance which draws me to this place. I can’t explain it but there you have it! Am I alone in this? #TeeAndTombstones #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #YorkCemetery
A poignant image of serenity on this chilly and cloudy afternoon... #TeeAndTombstones #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #YorkCemtery
As it’s #InternationalWomensDay let’s celebrate some female serenity on this chilly afternoon. #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones #YorkCemetery
Blue skies and balmy temperatures - can this really be February? But as it is, I’m enjoying a wander among the illustrious here at Undercliffe Cemetery in Bradford. #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones #UndercliffeCemetery #CemeterySunday
Out for a quick stroll around York Cemetery and just managed to catch the falling sun on this angelic beauty. #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones #YorkCemetery
As it’s a bitterly cold day here at York Cemetery - an hour spent in the catacombs is probably not the best idea I’ve ever had! Time for tea me thinks! #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones #SleuthingSunday
“The pine stays green in winter - wisdom through hardship.” ~ Norman Douglas Morning! Welcome to my little corner of the world! There’s no graveyard sleuthing for me here at York Cemetery on this chilly December morning as I’m on flower shop duty and as the birds sing, I’m enjoying a delicious cup of tea... #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones #YorkCemetery #SundayStory
