We had a lovely time this morning helping Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery on their monthly conservation task.

Four of us were tasked with completely restoring one of the old tombs, stripping back ivy and overgrowth and brambles.

It was hard work. Chris went to war on the ivy and won - and Hannah had a run in with a spider (now determined as a garden spider thanks to Graces ID skills!)

We managed to restore the tomb to such a degree that we revealed the old stone work. It was very satisfying and we had a fab time.
