I now feel forced to confess that I am also the poud owner of an extensive collection of photos of gravestones! |

LOL yes I have a lot of gravestones too. When I browse my hard drive I spot them and it does seem a spooky/morbid thing to collect, but its evindence before they lose the writing or whatever!! As to photos, I took a few of where my grandad was born and where his parents live. We knocked on the door and the people were really funny with us. I suppose maybe we looked like JW's calling or something! My biggest thrill was being told there was a photo of my gg grandparents in a local pub. They owned it back in the late 1800's.The landlord was very kind and took it out of its frame and had it copied for me! The weird thing was that there is a horse with no head on it! I assume the photo took a while to take and the horse must have moved! Another good one is if the particular house is up for sale, you can nip along and get the description of the insides. Great for imagining how your rellies fittend into them! Barbara |
