Serendipitous Angels

I’d been planning a photo shooting trip into London at Christmas but on my way to the bus stop discovered that all public transport was cancelled for the day. So I decided to have a contemplative wander round Mortlake Cemetery as I’d noticed an a statue or two from the A316. When my girls were young, the school run passed by the Englefield Green Cemetery and so for six years I passed by a beautiful white angel near the entrance to the park. One day I decided to have a closer look with my camera. What I found was that one of the women who was buried beneath the stone & statue was a woman, Dora Hedley, who had died on the very same day I was born. So this past Christmas the about the fifth time walking around a graveyard. The first female statue I came across — not an angel, but a somber looking woman — looked over a woman who died on my birthday.
