We were walking through [url= http://www.arnosvale.org.uk/ ]Anos Vale[/url] cemetery with some friends yesterday morning and they told us about a new Badger Set so we went to have a nose. The graves in the particular area seem to be around the 1850s/1860s - I'm guessing that the badgers are digging into voids that may already exist.

Anyway, between them seeing it on Saturday evening and us seeing it again on Sunday morning, check out what they'd managed to clear out. There are a few other assorted bone parts scattered around. Fliipin' badgers - no respect see?

Apologies for the picture quality. We didn't want to get too close in case the dogs decided to explore the entrance (visible top right) and came to a rather unpleasant end. 🙂

For anybody who knows where I'm talking about and has often wondered what it's like, it truly is an amazing place. It's vast - and there are some extraordinary crypts, obelisks and other strange monuments.

Amazing place. I run through there quite often. 300,000 graves there!

A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. 🙁

In the churchyard I used to look after there were lots of late Victorian graves. Basically 6ft deep brick lined boxes with a stone slab aover the top. As the churchyard was on the side of a hill many of these brick boxes had cracked open, I always had to be careful where I put the mower and my feet until I had the grass back to lawn height. It wasn't unusual to catch kids in the graves playing treasure hunters!
