Hey Graceland ;D

are these cemeteries anywhere near Mitcheldean?

Not that my lot could have afforded a stone -  but seeing the graveyard would be just as good.

While Graceland is Bumping and grinding the night away i thought i'd post this.

I've been away to Northumberland for a couple of days with some girlfriends, we stayed at Bambrugh ( Grace Darling fame).
Here is her memorial.
