VJ and I go back a long way, having started out CDPBs within a couple of weeks of each other in May 2007. Of course, I erased my first blog and had to start again.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066619996829924418.post-39976007274875094252012-02-17T01:05:03.027+11:002012-02-17T01:05:03.027+11:00I have never seen anything like that before.

In Port General, some of the tiles are attractve and some are not. Many of the footers were entirely tiled, a la the back step. A bit offputting at first, but in that particular part of the cemetery it was the rule rather than the exception, so I grew used to it.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066619996829924418.post-31007096421842869382012-02-14T22:45:33.134+11:002012-02-14T22:45:33.134+11:00How beautiful!

I also noticed many graves were tiled and thought at the time it might be a 'cheap' way of making the grave attractive as they would be using remainder tiles for the job.
