Photo of the month
This is the time of year when spiders seem to be very noticeable, whether by their dewy early morning webs or the vision of them scuttling around our bedrooms and bath tubs!
The Painted Lady (Vanessa Cardui) arrives in the UK from Africa every year.
Our own native honeysuckle is found throughout Ryde cemetery. The common name comes from the Old English hunigsuge or ‘honey-suck’, because the ‘honey’ (or nectar) can be sucked from the flowers.
Alice and her brother tried on Victorian clothes, drew pictures and played with Victorian games and toys and had a thoroughly enjoyable morning.

After a very cold night the sun came up on Sunday 7 December. The cemetery looked very picturesque and it made for a pleasant walk.
This fantastic artwork was drawn by a boy called Angus for our Big Draw event in Ryde Cemetery.
Early evening on Saturday 20 September this bird settled on a headstone in Ryde Cemetery and let me take its photograph.
For the past week or so this little mouse has been coming to feed on the peanuts in the bird feeder hanging on the hedge between the garden of the Lodge and the Cemetery.
