Just Crosses

Fab Friday as its my last working day for a while :-)

Its been a busy eBay day in so much that I've sold three items and bought a wooden garden table and chairs at a knock down bargain! Had to go to Crowthorne to collect the garden set so I popped into my cousin Carol on the return. Our little doggies had fun meeting up again, my little beast was being far too friendly in fact (we didn't know where to look)
Asked for directions to a local church that had some graves and was told about St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, Easthampstead. Lovely spot, must go back in the light. Especially now that I've found out that there's a famous poet resting there. Elijah Fenton (20 May 1683 – 16 July 1730

This modest stone what few vain marbles can
May truly say, here lies an honest man
A poet blest beyond the poets fate
Whom heav'n left sacred from the proud and great
Foe to loud praise and friend to learned ease
Content with science in the vale of peace
Calmly he look'd on either life & here
Saw nothing to regret, or there to fear
From natur's temp'rate feast rose satisfy'd
Thank'd heav'n that he had liv'd and that he dy'd
