The stained-glass windows pictured here form part of the South chapel in Ryde Cemetery, shown with a shaft of sunlight brightening the room on a cold January day.


The Robin with it’s distinctive bright red breast, adds to the spectacle of winter and we tend to notice them more in our gardens at this time of year.

The fine weather has given an opportunity to enjoy a walk in Ryde Cemetery, and at every turn there is an abundance of spring flowers.
