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

As much as I love Lord Byron, I am also a fan of his much maligned spouse! She was buried on this day in 1860 and her grave can be found in the shadow of the Dissenter’s Chapel at Kensal Green Cemetery #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #BloggingByron #LordByron #LadyByron #KensalGreenCemetery #TombstoneTuesday #TeeAndTombstones
#FridayFeeling “When life throws thorns; hunt for roses.” ~ Until She Flies. One beautiful pink rose makes her presence felt among the tombstones here at York Cemetery... #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones
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
