Hi Gary,
I've just got back and now have pics of my immediate family's burial plot and also a cousin's. Didn't quite need a machete, wellies and rubber gloves did the job nicely, although I had a minor panic on my way back to the car when I momentarily thought my car and house keys had dropped out of my pocket when I was attempting basic gymnastics removing dead branches and ivy from the plots! Unfortunately, the pics of the Dickinson plot aren't quite as sharp as I'd hoped, so I'll have to go back sometime and try again. I think I'll wait until I have company though. I'm not nervous by nature, but it's extremely isolated there and I'd like to have a better look around without feeling the need to look over my shoulder all the time. (I have to thank you by the way, for putting the idea of going there NOW into my head!)
It was nothing like as bad as when I was there in the summer, but I'll post a general pic I took just so's people who don't live close by can see what we're on about. Come the summer, it'll be thigh deep in nettles along with everything else and completely impenetrable.
Along with those of my own family, I did notice several of the old Seaton Sluice names in the area around the Hartley Pit Disaster Memorial by the way.
