Life after Death, by ladymagpie

Life after Death,

I seem to be spending quite a bit of time in churchyards lately, perhaps picking the best spot for myself. As I was leaving I noticed this tree growing very healthily right between two headstones.

I would be pretty certain when the graves were dug back in the mid 1800's that the tree wasn't there which goes to show that there is "Life after Death" .

By zooming in I have just noticed the surnames on the right hand grave are "Cook" the same as me, therefore I must go back in case they are relatives of mine although my family are either from Lambeth, London and prior to that from the county of Wiltshire.

Thanks for all you comments for yesterdays pub and the questions about the pies, I believe they have pastry tops.
Nice country graveyard, looks to be maintained really well!

I dread to think where those tree roots are going! I like graveyards too!

Great find & capture. Fitting title too.
I often find that the places I like & am drawn to turn out to have an ancestral connection. Good luck with your family investigation.

Great capture. I found a grave in our local cemetery with my name on it. Funny thing is, it said my married name was Johnson. I don't remember marrying any Johnson.

Interesting story, Heather, and the light and shadow are very nice!

It looks a nice peaceful spot

Great capture Heather. I agree with you about the tree it must be younger than the graves. I hope your weather is better than ours!

@thistle Shocking high winds and torrential rain. I'm sat indoors with snorkel and flippers.

Could be another branch to add to your family tree, Heather!!

I love your theory of life after death!
