Songs to dig graves by.... the gentle giant....

... it seems , so I am led to believe, according to the leader of the rambling club who visited the grave yard.... that in the 1800's graves were marked with a head stone...... and a foot stone......

I never knew that before last Saturday. I always thought the little foot stones marked midgets graves...

Looking at this picture, I bet you can't guess which one was the giant.... George was his name, and reportedly 7 foot 7 inches tall..... he even has a house in the village named after him..... The Giant's House....





So here is the giant
where he is laid
marked by the end of his legs
Time for a song me thinks
[and just in time to be
classed as today's SoD]
