Sheila and Juli made a return visit to Spital Cemetery in Windsor to help with a community effort to reclaim the gravestones from the choking ivy. We meet with Karen, a local councillor and Ria. We headed to the group of headstones that we had affectionately nicknamed the 3 sisters - one had been cleared of ivy in the previous session and 2 remained to be revealed. After some determined work, the knot of ivy on top of one of the stones suddenly lifted off in Juli's hands, and the profile of the stone was revealed! We hoped to clear the final stone too, but the tangled branches resisted our efforts and we ran out of time. We will return to finish the job!
