My mum worked in X-Ray at Pinderfields for about 20 years, although she’s long retired now. It’s good to see the team still have a sense of fun.

I was walking the Dog earlier, & cut through the graveyard, as we sometimes do
I must have taken a path that l’ve not done before (or usually in the opposite direction?) amongst the plethora of paths, & noticed a rather large gravestone
