Brimscombe cemetery tapestry

My life has been a tapestry, of cemeteries that Ive lived near, or next to! This one is a few miles up the road in Brimscombe, with views over the valley to.... the other side of Brimscombe. It's next to the church, which has a Victorian-era former school attached. To the left, you can just see the roof of the Victorian outside toilet block!

I was teaching aromatherapy at the school today, because my class had been moved sideways. The Princess Royal was visiting the rehab's education department, so the tutors had been asked to teach elsewhere! I didn't mind, and CleanSteve gave me a lift there and back. I used to teach in that building, years ago, and in what seems like a former life I would go there to rehearse a play (No Pasaran! about the local volunteers for the Spanish Civil War, with the Stroud Football Poets. I was initially a pronunciation adviser, but ended up with a walk on part as a woman giving eyewitness testimony about the bombing of Guernica).

Happy memories: of the play, not the Civil War! Today's class went smoothly and so, I hope, did the Royal Visit. I bet the whole place has been painted, the car park resurfaced....
