Description

It's a 'Topsy Turvey' world

A shot of the inscription on the grave of a very eccentric gentleman. He said the world was all topsy turvey and if buried in this manner, one day he would be the right way up. He instructed when he was buried head first that his grave was to be danced on. He had the nickname " The walking dung-hill" because of his personal hygiene, or rather lack of. The grave stone does not mark the exact spot which is a few yards away on a very steep slope.
