Former primary school teacher - after 3 children now reinvented as a teacher' s assistant working with children that need emotional/behavioural support (not in the clasroom) and run a school gardening club - love it all!
This is the Baring Gould monuments before and after
Here is a marble one, (My speciality)
I am past retirement age but still do the odd few, it is a bit of a labour of love!. especially the marble ones where you have to be so careful because the stone is very soft, I use a toothbrush, toothpicks, anything tiny to get into the little creases around the flowers, takes several days to complete.
The best part about it is that I can sit in a churchyard, completely alone and peaceful, not many can do that in their workplace.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
