Memento Mori

"Holly berries shining red mean a long winter 'tis said." ~ Anon Yes, it's that time of year again for with the York Cemetery flower shop NOW open - there is no graveyard sleuthing for me today! And as I wait for my customers on this dull chilly morn - I give thanks for the kettle nearby and a book to read! #GraveyardSquirrel #TeeAndTombstones

'And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.' ~ Rupert Brooke 'The Soldier' (1914) #ArmisticeDay #LestWeForget #WeWillRememberThem #RemembranceDay #MementoMoriMonday #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones

“You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.” ~ Indira Gandhi. Capturing a moment of friendship in the Autumn sunshine... #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones

Look to the middle! #OnThisDay in 1879 - a young nursemaid carrying an infant was killed by a train at the old asylum crossing here in York. Her death and that of the 10 week old infant prompted an outcry and a footbridge was built in the weeks following - and which still stands today! Mary Bell was laid to rest in a lone grave at York Cemetery. #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #teeandtombstones

As the church bells ring out, can there be anything more delightful on a quiet Sunday morning than a stroll through an old churchyard... #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones

Ey up! As it's #YorkshireDay - let’s celebrate with another pearl of wisdom from that irascible codger at Dalesman Magazine. “Odd, isn’t it, that folk who have statues are usually forgotten? Them as do things you remember have no statues.“ ~ #OldAmos Now, I wonder who this glum chap in York Cemetery belongs to? Peace and 💕💕💕💕 from Yorkshire! #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones

On this day, July 16 and an incredible 24 years ago I celebrated the safe arrival of my youngest son Tom and in 1824 a further 195 years ago - the church of St Mary Magdalene in the town of Hucknall in Nottingham welcomed the safe arrival of Byron's remains for burial after his death at the age of 36 on April 19 in the town of Missolonghi in Greece... #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones #ByronBlogging #LordByron #RegencyRecondite #BloggingByron

Just unearthed this neat little monument on a public grave from 1903 for Florence and Gertrude who both died in infancy - however, it is another occupant of this grave who is of interest to me and I’ll be sharing her sorrowful tale one Friday evening in August during my ‘Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths’ guided walk here at York Cemetery! #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones #YorkCemetery

“The earth laughs in flowers.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson. As those Columbines and Buttercups all jostle for space - it’s just another morning here at York Cemetery... #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #TeeAndTombstones

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 Chapel at Kensal Green Cemetery #GraveyardSquirrel #HistorySleuth #BloggingByron #LordByron #LadyByron #KensalGreenCemetery #TombstoneTuesday #TeeAndTombstones
