A tombstone from St Mary's churchyard in #Hitchin, #Hertfordshire for #SkullSaturday. It is so eroded the text is not readable and there are even holes right through the stone. @churchmonuments.bsky.social @graveyardarch.bsky.social

A detail of the top of the tombstone showing two skulls above two sets of crossed bones. The skulls look towards each other. The top of the stone is two semicircles. The stone is grey with some yellow and green lichen.

A photo of the whole tombstone with the two skull-and-crossbones motif described in the previous photo. In the background are the dark brown doors of the west entrance to the church.

Hitchin, Hertfordshire: We have a local speciality here, the rue-leaved saxifrage, poking up in street cracks and wall crannies. It’s worth lying on the pavement for

It's #PublicationDay for #LandBeneaththeWaves! Thank you to everyone who made it possible. Can't wait to celebrate at my #Hitchin launch tonight. Pls report any sightings & let me know how it's behaving in the wild! Here's the aquatic edition... @summersdalebooks.bsky.social #booksky #naturewriting

It's the first time I've come across one of the nature anthologies with my writing in it, in my local #Hitchin Waterstones. Going to Ground, ed. by the wonderful Jon Woolcott of @littletollerbooks.bsky.social. So lovely seeing my words out in the wild. ☺️ #naturewriting

Found this in #Hitchin under a huge evergreen oak in St Mary's churchyard. 8cm diameter, woven from grasses, lined with wool, lichen and feathers. Any thoughts about what species it belonged to? Could it be greenfinch? #UKBirding

It's a beautiful day for a bit of Butterfield. It's my 3rd visit to Holy Saviour #Hitchin to give a talk but the sky has never been so blue. The church was designed by William Butterfield, consecrated 1865 #victorianarchitecture
