Hi John,

FYI - a distant cousin of mine visited Walkley cemetery last week. She said it was “neck high in brambles and impossible to see most of the headstones.” She made a phone call and tells me that a very helpful guy in Walkley kindly cut back the jungle covering our relatives grave. So if you visit be prepared for this.

Heths.
The late growth of the vegetation after our long cold spring meant it all came at once and is probably the thickest I have seen since the Friends were formed (almost 20 years ago).

Still, the ground cover varies across the site. C614 probably is 'neck high' in willowherb, brambles etc. J179 will have less cover as it is under trees and next to a path. M81 will be more or less clear as it is near some war graves.

I can supply plot plans for these graves by email if required.
