Just heard the Manchester Evening News have joined our celebrations this morning.

Aren't we all pleased we remembered our lippy?

Well, we got up to rain this morning, will we ever learn not to listen the Weatherman   But by lunch time it had cleared away.

Brilliant Day had by all!!  Quite a bit of a detour around Manchester to get to the Cemetery, but we made it!

Manchester Evening News Newspaper came and took plenty of pictures, although a couple of us were camera shy!!! Hi-Ho!! Hi-Ho!!

Hopefully we will be told which date we are to appear in the paper!!

Stuffed ourselves silly at the picnic, though we did get quite a few looks from passersby, I think they were wondering 'why we were having a picnic in the Cemetery!!'

Grateful thanks for all those who have constantly volunteered and constantly turn up in all weathers and for the continued support of the Project with the constant encouragement!! THANK YOU!!!

1 Year!!!,   looking forward to the next!!!

Hi Ho!!! Hi Ho!!!

Congratulations to you all - and what a fantastic cake!

I wish Gloucestershire wasn't so far away, but I still hope to join you for a day sometime.  In the meantime, all I can do is send greetings and encouragement

 I`m  jealous, green with envy and all that but at the same time so pleased for you all.
 Really glad the weather held for you.

Smashing cake and great sense of humour, well done whoever made it.

Congratulations to you all .

  Congrats to all on the 1st anniversary 

I may have come in drag but, draw the line at shaving my tash off ha ha, Excellent day, the buffet & the cake were fantastic, thanks Cancan. Think everyone deserves a pat on the back for what has been done over the past 12 months.

Will be there next sunday, weather permitting.

Spatts.

Another great day, got loads done!!

A Really warm day for October!

We had another visitor who we were able to show exactly where their Family Gravestone was.  Another Success!!

Hoping to complete the section in the next three weeks if the weather is good to us!!  This then we can announce will make all visible stones 100% completed.

Just need to uncover the remaining flat stones, as mapped we know where they are, so will be easy to locate and complete!

                                        Hopefully a dry day tomorrow!

Keeping  fingers crossed that we can get to the end of November like last year for the Ground work Dates before we take a Winter Break!

All hands needed if poss to get section completed before Winter Break
