Re: Wolstenholme's elephant?
Yup, that's definitely an elephant's bum. Are we moving into new realms here? - people used to have angels on tombs, perhaps elephants are the new thing - "Just as elephants never forget, we will never forget you" .... but what about chickens? "Your memory warms the COCKles of our hearts"?
Sorry. |

Re: Wolstenholme's elephant?
Interesting thought but I can't see elephants being permitted in the cemetary can you? There's been enough hoohah in the past when people wanted fancy tombstones.
I do like this elephant though. It's cute.

Elephant update!
Not only do they uncover it during the day but they open the doors so it can have some fresh air.
Doesn't it look sweet?

Re: Wolstenholme's elephant?
Great photos Willow. Have you asked yet why they got it? Its not a tribute to Lord Ganesha is it? No thats a rabbit not a mouse.

Re: Wolstenholme's elephant?
No, I haven't asked them but I'm not sure I can cope with curiosity for much longer. I probably will phone them.
It's a really cute elephant. There are some headstones in there too and it all looks very incongruous.
