Wild flowers

Women at Home and at Work 1 Minute

At the end of our cemetery walk yesterday one of our regular followers donated an envelope of wild flower seeds. She explained she had no garden of her own and that she would like them used in the cemetery, so today I accompanied cemetery volunteer Bex to scatter the seeds. We had decided on dividing the small envelope between two of our favourite ladies – Minnie Price and Helene Celine Sawyer – two graves that Bex regularly attends to.

We’ll keep you updated!

  1. I do enjoy reading about Radnor Street. My mum is buried there and sadly I don’t get to visit very often as it is too far away.
    If anyone is near her grave, Eileen Jenkins on the right hand side as you walk up the slope from Clifton Street enterance, could they have a check that all is well and maybe take a photo? She is buried with her father.
    Many thanks
