    The handshakes on headstones can mean a final farewell or eternal bond between the living and the dead. Clasped hands meant to portray the link between a married couple, or other times a handshake indicates God reaching out for the deceased to bring them into his presence

      Also they are all different designs that are personal to the carver,usually a man's cuff and a woman's cuff,the hand that is on top symbolic of who went 1st and is guiding the 2nd one up to Heaven.interesting places cemeteries

      It depends on how the fingers are placed or the type of handshake, but some handshakes are of that of the masons, or mainly the Independant Order of the Odd Fellows which were know in that area at that time, and also the Order of the Rose too.

    I live in Australia, I am in awe of your castles, old buildings, abandoned houses with so much history still in them. My family were originally from Kent in 1839, Ireland 1858, and East End London 1895. I just love your history and love seeing these places you show. This one was especially amazing, as I love old cemeteries, and castles....obviously not in Oz altho some of the cemeteries go back to about 1830s but nothing like you have. Bear is a darling boy.

    It's so great to see Bear traveling with you, love him! You're right, we Americans do call Peanut-butter & Jelly sandwiches PB & J, but when it comes to jam it depends on what region you're from. Here in the southeast, or at least the part I'm from, if it's jam it's called a PB & J'm.... I've always found language and how it varies from region to region so very interesting.

    Ooh, I’m drooling over the cockles, known in the states as the Heart Clams or small littleneck clams. They are the ribbed shells beach goers find early in the morning. Florida has a pink colored shell which is pretty cool. I also love periwinkles or winkles that are the sea snail one finds attached to rocks. I literally love sea food, I see food and eat it 😂 unfortunately I live way up in a mountain of a National Forest, but I do miss the days when I would wake up early to harvest all sorts of shell fish right in my backyard. I know... just sharing info and a bit of my life to feed the comment algorithm... lots of loves to you all.

    I also like walking round graveyards! Whenever I'm in a new place, I always find the graveyards. I love seeing the old graves, and imagining who the people were, especially when it's a family plot. The children's graves are so sad. I always get drawn to military graves and memorial stones for some reason. Military graves makes me so sad, as I feel, they were so young, and didn't have a choice most of the time. They were inscripted as a matter of doing there bit for king and country.

    Matt, when we go to visit my sister’s grave, we look at other graves too. We love to read them. It’s nothing strange about it to me. To graves on top of each other is crazy. You paid for that site; that’s not right! Now William Shipley had the right idea! A massive tombstone is the way to preserve your spot! 😂😂😂❤❤❤. I’m glad you did the drone. I loved the music you had to go with it. 😂😂😂 Please land the drone…😂😂😂! Very funny! Jelly in the US is this fake Jam or Preserves that is very sugary and I hate it. We do have Jam but my favorite is preserves because it actually has bits of the fruit in it. Very good. I loved this tour! It was fun and you always make me laugh with the little joking you do like imitating the loudspeaker. 😂. Another fun tour Matt. You’re doing a smash up job! Love Your #1 Fan in the US. Betty

    I live on the coast in a small village. My nearest town is Blackpool. I haven't been "into town" for years, as you are right. There are so many shops that are closed down or falling down. The only ones that are still original and beautiful are the The Winter Gardens, The Blackpool Opera House, and The Grand Theatre. I wasn't born in or near Blackpool, but I try to avoid saying I live near there, as it is embarrassing. The place is so run down, homeless people, alcoholics and general jobless stinky people. I avoid going into Blackpool. Obviously it is like this like in lots of parts of the UK, and it's not their fault. It is the government.

      No, I disagree totally… Extra extra road tax, huge amount to buy the thing in the first place… Storage… plus when I want to go to places like Bosnia, I don’t want to drive all the way across Europe. Plus, I don’t want to cook my own meals I want to experience local cuisine.
      And thank you it means a lot
