This cross stands alone at the cemetery’s entrance, waiting for visitors. It’s an old cemetery in which most of the gravestones are broken or missing. There hasn’t been a burial here for over 80 years. Someone, at some time, put wooden crosses on many of the graves. The task was never completed, and there is a pile of weathered, fading crosses tucked to one side, back under the trees. But there is also this cross, leaning against a tree near the entrance, waiting patiently to greet all who visit.




This is Whitby Abbey in North Yorkshire. It is here that Bram Stoker said that Count Dracula first landed in England. A fitting place indeed.
