The local prison has a scheme whereby donated garden tools are reconditioned and then given to voluntary groups. We received such a batch today! Here they are – wrapped, unwrapped and two little ‘uns in use…

February 17th…
This area is supposed to be a triangular “clearing” between sections. We’ve cleared it before, but the weeds they keep a-growing. So, weeds cut down again and this mass of snowdrops can be enjoyed in their full glory…
This urn was intriguing, had to be rolled around. Unfortunately, not in the best light! It’s part of the gravestone which commemorates the first burial at Warriston. The neighbouring stone had a detail begging to be cleared too. And they also have some snowdrops! Lots of snowdrops around, which is lovely to see…

February 20th…
A beautiful morning today, with that angled February sunshine coming through the bare deciduous trees to light up the gravestones. When we started four-and-a-half years ago, you couldn’t see through this section. Some ivy has grown back, but it’s nowhere near as bad…

The cemetery is looking great with all the explosion of colour with the snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils all coming into to bloom showing their carpets of colour off to passers by
good to see the wildlife is thriving too with the great selection of birds nice to see them using the bird feeders provided too.
As ever the hard work of the FOWC is paying off and it’s good to see the cemetery and it’s gravestones all looking so good. You all do a fantastic job.
Nice getting so many lovely photographic updates of what s going on at Warriston too.
