HAPPY EASTER

When I stayed with my granny at Usk we would visit, clean up and put some flowers on the family grave for Easter Week.

Instead of virtual daffodils may I suggest readers post details of the location of ancestral graves known to them to relevant lists or notice boards.

Which will be usefully archived for descendants and cousins to find when you and I are long gone
