Sally our caseworker from the HLF came to see us at the cemetery last week to talk about our submitting our second stage bid, but it seems there will be a mountain of work to do before we get there. We will need to employ a consultant to help us with a lot of the specialist reports we need to submit, but the HLF have found us a mentor to help us to move in the right direction.
The sun shone while we showed them round the cemetery and a huge dragon fly came and hovered over our heads, offering his support to our thoughts about how parts of the cemetery could be a haven for wild life, that it does not all need to be municiply sheared down to the ground.
I think they could feel our passion and they certainly enjoyed hearing Saul's stories about the people buried there. They took a copy of the DVD home to watch later - which reminds me, I need to agree a date for screening at FACT for that
