Monday 30th November the word is DEATH

Not a cheerful word today, it is DEATH. I was going into Richmond to take my car for an MOT and so l thought l would spend an hour or two researching image. Instantly l saw death all around me in the form of leaves on the ground...crisp and already dead or just having dropped. I saw death in the trees the wind has blown down over the last few weeks. I went pass Funeral Director's Shop and a few churches. Just as l decided to go down this side street l saw a sign for a Christmas Card Sale in the church. So off l went to investigate and found a beautiful church but also a few amazing asrcophagus's. The one below was, l think a fine example. The date on it is 1847. I also love all the moss that grows around it and the mould. The decoration on it is also stone ...is exquisite...all done by stone masons.
