P2 Autumn Walk and visit to the graveyard

26th Nov 2024

P2 went on a walk today to celebrate one of the last days of Autumn. We  heard lots of birds and saw furrows of crispy leaves on top of glistening grass tipped with frosty silver. It was really cold but sunny and beautiful.

Because it is the month of November and we have been praying for the Holy Souls, we visited the graveyard. We laid flowers and a candle on a grave and said some prayers together. We marvelled at the ancient head stones of all shapes and sizes made from stone, slate and shell.  We prayed for those people and wondered what life was like for them 150 years ago!
