Grim reaper

A strange blip maybe for a sunny spring day but my lunchtime blip walk took me to the local church with its very ancient graves.

I'm not sure I have ever seen a skull on a grave stone -usually all angels and crosses. The writing has been worn away completely but I liked the mottled colours and it was an intriguing choice of subject.

I guess I do spend a lot of time these days thinking about the shortness of life -that's middle age for you. But it actually makes me value moments so much more -live in the present and squeeze out the joy from it!
