Inspired by Llanbedr Churchyard, Gwynedd, North Wales, by Thomas Bladon RBSA (England) c. 1890

Llanbedr Churchyard

Here lies Uncle Griff Owen,
who was once a Desert Rat
and always a Welshman to the core.

He taught art at the local school,
loved the hills of his country,
and sang strong in the choir. 

He helped me make toy trains 
when I was young, and when he was gone 
I carried him into the church on my shoulder.

Here also lies Thomas Bladon, 
the artist from the Midlands,
who made Snowdonia his home.

What a lovely tribute to our special Griff, I will always love and and miss him.
Your great grand dad I didn't know, but we have a house full of his paintings to remember him by.
