@jaqjacjak @MichelleJaspe11 @K4rmaRules Agree been saying this for years they need a University style campus with Halls of Residence for the MPs and a refectory that’s not subsidised by us! Hop needs turning into a museum/conference centre/hotel & only used for State Opening

@silverpebble Hello 👋
Saw your piece on Countryfile again - it was so lovely. I adore lichens and moss.
Thank you for posting your beautiful pictures they really help xxx

I had 3-4 weeks off Twitter with autistic burnout recently & my engagement is right down (also due to standing up to a vile group of trolls on here-they reported me lots, restricting my reach). If you see this photo it would be so ace if you could RT it or drop me a quick hello if you have a moment, both of which help an account get back on track. I also hope these little violas ping some floral dopamine in your meat computer & give you a small lift 🌿

Over 70,000 hysteroscopies are performed each year but hospitals do not routinely offer sedation or anaesthetic in what campaigners say is ‘medical misogyny’

On Fathers day, June 21st, my two grandchildren, aged 13 and 8, went to lay flowers on their Dads grave.
Their Dad was called Edward.
He was my Son.

He sadly took his own life 14 months ago and his ashes are interred in a Parish Council Cemetery in Devon.

Over the past year the children have visited the grave many times, to lay flowers or to leave little hand painted mementos.

But this time it was different. The concrete slab that had been placed over the grave just after I'd lowered his ashes into the ground was now missing.

The grave was now uncovered. Just a patch of bare earth was visible.

The slab is intended to stay in place for eternity. Families then have the choice of whether or not to commission a memorial tablet to be secured on top of it.

We had recently started finalising the details of the memorial tablet we were going to install on Edwards grave.

I received a call from the person accompanying the children to the grave telling me what they'd discovered. I could hear my 8 year old granddaughter crying in the background.

I immediately jumped in my car and drove the 30 miles to the cemetery.

Within a couple of minutes I'd worked out what had happened.

My Sons slab had been removed from his grave and used on a grave just 6 feet away and a memorial tablet had been cemented on top of it.

Our grave had been raided for spare parts by the mason who, upon arrival at the cemetery to install a memorial to a grave, had noted the grave had no slab upon which to attach the memorial so took the one covering Edwards grave.

He then just walked away, got in his van, drove off and didn't tell anyone.

This happened on June 18th, just 3 days before Fathers Day.

The company he works for is Fine Memorials. They're based in Bridgwater in Somerset and they also have branches in Exeter, Barnstaple, Taunton and Minehead.
Their branches in Tiverton and Yeovil operate under different names.

The Director of the company has offered to make and fit a memorial for free but I've repeatedly told him I don't want my Sons grave tainted by any further involvement by Fine Memorials.

He's said he'd consider funding a tablet made by another memorials company (quote) "if the price is right". The price is obviously the key factor as far as he's concerned but he needn't worry about this because we'll fund our own memorial.

I have however suggested (by email), that he pay compensation to my two grandchildren who discoverd their Dads grave in that state on Fathers Day. I've also suggested it would be appropriate to make a donation to a mental health charity of our choice.

He should also consider reimbursing the family who paid his company to have a memorial fitted to their grave only to discover it was cemented to a slab pilfered from another grave.

He has so far refused to discuss these suggestions. His only offer is the free memorial and I've told him he can stick that.

The Fine Memorials website and their entries on websites of the various trade bodies they belong to, mentions words like dignity, compassion and respect.

None of these qualities are evident in the way they treated my Sons grave or in the manner they've treated their own customer whose own memorial was cemented to an essential component taken from someone elses grave.

I wouldn't recommend any dealings with Fine Memorials.
