Byron's Grave,Hucknall, nr Nottingham


Byron's grave ...and nearly ours. Reaching Hucknall (nr Nottingham) from Durham involved skirting around one teenage shooting (Sheffield); a three car accident that shut down the M1 for two and a half hours; getting lost (competition for how many times it is possible to drive north and south on the same stretch of the M1 in one afternoon); and never arriving at the hotel for that night. However to Lesley's great relief we finally made it.---The words are lovely on this stone and I think it is a very appropriate piece for Byron. It may have been a lot of trouble getting here but Sue is right I was so happy when we made it. Couldn't do a Romantics' tour without paying respect to Byron.
