A few days have gone by since my last Blog as it has been a busy time.

Last Sunday we went to Skipton where I was to help Sara with her garden, it seems nearly a year since I did anything so there was a big clear up in the back, cutting down the box hedge, emptying old soil from pots. Lots for them to take for composting.

The to the nearest Garden Centre and lunch at the adjoining Pub, nice Sunday Roast.
We bought a lot of plants, mainly for containers but it started to rain on the way back so I had to finish wearing my flat cap and still got rather wet

I had our Terriers with me and they were well behaved for once. No long walkies

On Tuesday we had a bevvie of lady visitors, a long standing friend from my daus with Cumbria Best Kept Village, Cumbria in Bloom and Rail users council. Her first visit here, an amazing lady and she was driven down by another friend of ours from Cumbria.

We we joined by two local friends of Roma's so had a good Lunch Party

This evening it was the AGM of The Friends of Lister Lane Cemetery in Halifax. This was the towns oldest private cemetery and contains and graves and monuments of many of Halifax' prominent citizens of the past. I volunteered some time ago to take care of the few war graves from World War One, only one War Grave by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, a Drummer bot from the Duke of Wellingtons [ our local ] Regiment, but a number of family graves and monuments to those who died in Gallipoli and Italy and well as France and Belgium

We had 3 more attending than last year, not many of our Friends will come to these meetings, but agreed good reports and financial statements as is necessary under Charity Law.
There was a overhead computer display show the Cemetery from 1999 to the present day, one big issue was ridding the area of Knotweed and removing trees that were damaging the graves and monuments

I will find some picture, Roma and I were in one on the display tonight.
