famous last words

I met this fellow the other week in a Chester graveyard. I was waiting on evening song at the cathedral and watching a bunch of teenage tourists when I wandered in and almost stepped on him. I’ve walked over a lot of Victorians in the past nine years but there’s just something about this one that made me stop and stare and clean him off a bit.

   that’s kind of awesome. I’m a huge headstone/cemetery fan. Love the photo.

   Thanks for sharing.

   I LOVE his headstone! I wonder if he picked the quote out. He’s must have been a feisty, fun kind of guy.

   Poignant. I, too, am a fan of creative headstone inscriptions. I think I shall work on mine right now
