[WGNC] McTaggart + Caw gravestones

[Dennis Smith]

As many people will know, the gravestone of Sir James and Dame Annie Caw, which fell a year ago, has now been re-erected.  While checking the re-erection, I noticed that the neighbouring stone of the artist William McTaggart (father-in-law and father to James and Annie) had developed a bit of a tilt.  This is mainly due to the roots of the pine behind it, which we can't do anything about.  But it wasn't being helped by an expanding mass of holly.  I've just been to the cemetery to cut back the holly but ran out of time to finish the job.  There are two more young holly trees that could do with removing (but no urgency).  I moved most of the holly cuttings to the waste area but left a couple of piles for future disposal.  I can do this myself in the next week or so, but if there is a work party on Monday someone may like to tackle it then.

All the best

Dennis
