An idyllic scene, Rosa. It would be interesting to read the inscriptions on those headstones. I love your title. Stay safe! Cheers, Joe

Ha, ha...........such a clever title :-))

You're quite correct though.............the view is superb (such a shame the occupants can't appreciated it)............but at least their visitors (and passing photogrpahers) can.

This is a beautifully composed image Rosa...........I love the old gravestones and the cottage looks quite lovely. I love the verdant countryside and the diffused light is gorgeous. A cracking shot!

I hope you're enjoying the weekend.

Thank you very much Keith. You can just see the second tier of graves and there is a third.
We had a lovely time with Sophie today in my eldest daughter's garden, whose birthday it was.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I have always been impressed by these 'English cemeteries', which are not exactly cemeteries as we understand them in Italy, where we have always locked the graves within precise fences.
But graves around a Parish, free in their gardens... I ve always liked walking around them, reading their inscriptions with serene involvement. Sometimes so old that they are forcefully neglected .
I always thought it was a way of keeping the dead alive through the living.
It is said that Italians are superstitious :-) I am not!
So I admire this beautiful evocative image of you!
I miss it a lot England!!!

I have been fascinated by graveyards in places abroad that I have been Bea. Unfortunately I have not been to Italy. We can learn so much in the churchyards, and some of the graves are so sad, and we realise how lucky we are nowadays, despite what is happening now. So much social history. I often leave them with a tear in my eye.
Thank you so much for your beautiful comments. They are much appreciated.
Wishing you a good evening. Rosa.

Een schitterende kijk op britse oude begraafplaatsen--nergens indrukwekkender en sfeervoller als in engeland-ook in films worden meestijds engelse kerkhoven gebruikt soms mooi en zelfs soms griezelig---Mooie Foto Rosa!

Zo mooi altijd die super oude begraafplaatsen in Engeland Rosa.
Als ik door Engeland kom met mijn tuinbuisreisjes moet ik er ook altijd naar kijken...
Heel fijn dat ze bewaard blijven!

Groet, Christien.
