A photo a day of Hove, UK
I moved to Hove from London in 2007 and I'm gradually finding out about the delights of both city and seaside. Come and join me on my pictorial voyage of discovery.

Hardly any gae at all. Beautiful picture.

Always so much sadder, the graves of little ones.
So sad seeing children gathered together like this!
they were twins?
@CaT: Twin sons (not named) and a daughter, Evelyn Newton.
I like that expression of Gemma's - the gathering together of departed children. When I recently visited the graves of my great great grandparents, they rested together with two of their infant children. That must be so hard to bear, to lose a child at no age at all. Perhaps religion helped parents through that time. Did not make the futility any the less, but gave the parents something to hold onto in a time when nothing made sense.
I like the style of headstone here. Plain and simple. I wonder if the Oldings had other children, and also why the parents were not eventually interred with these departed offspring. Maybe subsequent children were not aware of these earlier deaths. So many questions ...
