graves It's known as a table grave in Britain. They were quite prominent around the 18th century but not many remain in graveyards now. I too love graveyards particularly French and Italian ones. Spend ages reading the inscriptions on them. Fascinating places . Where are you off to next ?
Next trips Next blogs will be The Gambia and Senegal. We were there over Christmas and New Year but haven't had time to write the blogs yet.
Next trips will be Rome (a weekend) and Budapest (5 days).
