Taken in my perpetual search for the Shire (and somewhere to dig a nice Hobbit hole and hide with a good book or two).

I took the camera along of course which to some may be a bit of an odd thing to do, but those weathered stones have some wonderful textures on them.

When we returned home I decided to look up the word ‘cemetery’ as I could not remember where it came from, trust the Greeks to come up with κοιμητήριον: sleeping place.

Sorry for the image overload, I took maybe one or two more photographs than I should have done –
