ooo Cally I love a good graveyard too...
I know where there's a pirate's grave (well the headstone has a skull and crossbones on) and have you seen the grave of the unfortunately named person at Old Brampton?
Didn't know about these - do tell!
We got George Stevenson's grave in Valliland, too. But I do know where he is!

Hoping to get to the Nottingham general cemetery this summer as well, it's another Victorian one & very atmospheric. I've got ancestors in there, with headstones apparently, which is unusual for my lot.

Afternoon all

Got the bedrooms done today - they were mostly done on Monday but I got the bed changed and polished everywhere. After some heavy rain early on I got the washing out and it all dried. Bed remade and washing put away.

I vacuumed through downstairs too.

YAY!!! 10 more dollops of tat chucked on ebeast.. bye bye junk!!!

My question would be have you got anywhere to hang a line?

But a year paying out less rent (and having lower running costs) would give you a chance to build a little nest-egg. Always a plus IMO And you'd have fewer rooms to dust...

No - no where to hang a line... which is on my con list. I would be limited to using the horse...

i moved from the flat to here in 2weeks and that was from viewing to moving in!!! You just need to focus on moving and everything else will have to take a back seat - could you overlap the 2 places to give you more time?

:eek::eek: Wow!! That puts me to shame! Im not sure I can cope in 4!! :rotfl: I think I would need an overlap and hopefully am going to try and work it so I have a week or so....
