When I have a drink at the pub over the road (The White Lion - which has fantastic sunset views), I like to wander over and pay my respects to her.
I guess her expression is meant to be one of grief, but it always looks to me to be one of utter boredom - and who wouldn't be bored, stuck forever in a graveyard?
Actually, her expression makes me laugh more than be melancholy...

ReplyDeletenow i want to find a bored lady here as well!
maybe she is bored from waiting for someone to bring over a pint?
ReplyDeleteI like this post. And I like the comments. Get someone to take your photo downing your pint on her plinth.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is a look of utter resignation waiting for those underearth gremlins to topple her over ... she does look on the way to a tumble ... should only take another couple of hundred years.
