It's a little late in the day, but here's my first post for #31DaysOfGraves. I won't be posting every day, but I reckon I can manage more than half of the themes. Day 1 is #Flowers, and here is the grave of my 3x great-grandfather, in #Charminster in Dorset.

Enjoyed a #wildflowerhour walk in Charminster today. Saw Winter Heliotrope, Ivy-leaved Toadflax, Annual Meadow Grass, Smooth Sowthistle, Primrose and a very tired looking Lesser Celendine with just a single petal surviving Christmas.
Also caught up with the Tundra Bean & White-fronted Geese. Lovely!
