Hi Graham,
Many years ago I began a series on headstones with interesting inscriptions, 
however after being told too "bugger off" out of the grave yards so often I 
gave it up for more enlightening "live subjects!" ;-)

However one inscription in Ottawa stuck with me... "All things considered 
I'd much rather be in Merrickville!" :-) I thought that a reasonable 
inscription considering the details were on a headstone of 100 years ago.:-)

Not very old by the age of UK stones, but not bad for one here in Canada.

Actually considering I'm now well into the age of a "senior citizen" this 
might be a new shoot adventure for me! ;-)  As I could always use the excuse 
"I'm just checking out the place for my spot when the time comes!" ;-)

Now what young whipper snapper could throw me out in that case. ;-)
