Pip's Graves

Bit of a departure this, literally. I've left my usual Northern haunts for a visit down south to family, where we stopped off to look at "Pip's Graves" in St James's Churchyard, Cooling, in Kent. These are the tiny gravestones described by Charles Dickens as being the graves of Pip's brothers in "Great Expectations". You can see a picture here, they're quite strange and sad:

I really ought to read some Dickens this year.

I should also soon have finished my write-ups of Glastonbury 2010 and Leeds 2011, they'll be posted up here soon, and the dive season is coming! Yay!
