There’s a peninsula at the top end of the Northern Beaches in Sydney, with a beach called Palm Beach. The tip of the peninsula has a hill, on which sits a now-disused lighthouse. Having climbed up to it, I came across the grave of the original lighthouse keeper. The inscription on his gravestone read:
All ye that come to my grave to see
Prepare in time to follow me.
Repent at once without delay
For I in haste was called away.
If I die a sudden death, put that on mine :-)
Do you have a picture of this gravestone you could share with me?
Not sure if you care, but did you know that Palm Beach is where they film Home And Away…
I love that inscription.
I emailed Zac the picture; other people, let me know if you want a copy.

Great quote. I would love a photo if you’ve got one. Trying harder to number my days.:)
