Graving

"Facing the Grave"

"Flowers and Cross"

I’m a “graver”, at least that’s what I’ve just discovered through Google. According to Shanna Riley at A Gravers Journal, this means I find cemeteries peaceful and serene, and am fond of reading and photographing headstones. What’s more, this is apparently a perfectly respectable hobby, and is an essential part of tracing family histories, whether your own or other people’s.
