Thank you for this kind and appropriate gift of seashells. Seashells were left on graves for various reasons, for example to symbolise pilgrimage and a journey to a better place, or to mark a visit. 🐚🪦🌳

In a surprise move, our Experimental Ash Resistance Nursery (EARN) has produced some extremely drought-hardy ash specimens, in an environment with high exposure to ash dieback disease. 🌳🌳🌳

Went for a lovely walk and picked a reassuringly small amount of litter; we run a tight ship! ⛵️🪦🌳

There was a further procedural hearing today, to decide whether the hearing in May, which was originally sheduled for last October, would be delayed further; fortunately it won’t be. I am confident that I have a very robust defence, made possible by everyone’s generous donations. Thank you.

There will be a further procedural hearing on March 13. I’m ashamed of the lack of cemetery updates. My mental health hasn’t been the best. We do have a brand new Little Free Library and brand new signage on the way. gofundme.com/dalryfriends

Why Edinburgh has a Confederate soldier memorial
The statue commemorates Colonel Robert A Smith, a Scot who was struck down in Kentucky during the US civil war.

The hearing which did not go forward in October (due to a court scheduling conflict) is now set for May. A great deal of preparation has been involved, so once again I need to ask for donations.
