Long time since we spoke

No one lives near Camerton church yard

Anyway I was on a "scouting expedition" today to Camerton Cemetary, it is one of the most out of the way churches in one of the most fantastic places, you can believe.  Its down a long winding road/track I thought I had went the wrong way (I have seen better farm tracks)

I didn't go in it as it was getting to "spooky" time (Dusk) I might go tomorrow to have a look. I will take some pics if I go of the church as well

I'd imagine if he died down a pit  there will be a headstone the miners would have seen to that, anyway we will see

Can't find a single McKnight buried at Camerton, there is a few unreadable, stones, but it would be a coincidence if they all just happened to be ones I was looking for, and we are talking really old.

It was quite a sad trip as I came across three new graves wich were no more than two foot in length, eight days old one child - you can understand decades ago but in modern times

Still as Christ said "Come little children"

Sorry I couldn't find anything
