Hello Darlene, that bench is in memory of a local dignitary. Daffodils are perfect for churchyards. Our shops are full of £1 bunches of daffodils at the moment so I have a lot indoors as well as in my garden, but nothing beats swathes of daffodils amongst the gravestones.
Daffodils were out in full bloom in York, along the Roman walls and around the Minster. They made the visit special. I agree, seeing them amongst the gravestones is the best.
I love York and we’ve walked round the walls a good few times. I especially enjoyed peering down into some of the gardens and homes that back onto the walls.
Hello Robbie, yes this is my favourite time of year in the churchyard. Daffodils are early this year apparently, but have had a bit of battering in the windy weather we’ve had.
Beautiful photos….intersting that the fishing boat you captured looks almost exactly like the shrimp boat my grandfather owned – I used to help him catch shrimp in Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula when I was growing up!

I LOVE that bench. I once visited the Isle of Wight and saw daffodils growing amongst the old grave stones. Very picturesque!

Yes Liz, our many dreary grey days we’ve had lately are forgotten when the sun come out in the graveyard!

Luckily, the cemetery I am applying to still has a long waiting list.

The daffodils around the graves are strangely touching

Hello John, how strange, it looks like it’s seen better days so it could be the same one…
