Housekeeping Appreciation Week
A Beautiful Afternoon Exploring History & Nature
Yesterday was a truly wonderful day supporting George and Monica as they revisited a place that they have often visited together in the past, Brookwood Cemetery.
Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but as explorers and lovers of history, art, and culture, this unique spot is one of their absolute favourites.
We spent time wandering the beautiful grounds, soaking in the incredible history, and sitting quietly to watch the local wildlife. We were lucky enough to spot some deer and a fawn, along with ducks and moorhens!
Did you know?
Established in 1852 by the London Necropolis Company, Brookwood Cemetery is the largest cemetery in the UK! It is a Grade I listed park and garden in the heart of Surrey that serves as a peaceful resting place for people of all faiths and none.
It is always a joy to look back, explore, and make new memories in places filled with so much heritage.
Open daily for anyone who loves history and peaceful nature walks!

It was the perfect way to celebrate the end of a the summer season together.
