New Part of cemetery, Eastern Side.
I hadn't planned starting on the new part of the Yaldhurst, as I do not want to offend anyone who has recently lost their loved ones (please, please tell me if you want your relatives taken off this page), but just passing in the hail and I was tempted by the Smiths. They looked so well tended and cared for, plus with names like Smith and Narbey surely they must tie in with the sturdy pioneering types of Bank's Peninsula. Then there was the headstone with the beautiful lady with the pretty name. Followed closely by the lady who must have had an awesome sense of humour. And of course I then wondered how nice the Eden plot looked before the hail. I am a bit obsessed, but may never go any further. I will not be poking into anyone's details on these ones, what you see is what you get, only the information from the headstones. These people died too soon.
