More than two weeks ago now I walked from Dorchester to Stinsford (not even the whole of the way #ThomasHardy walked to school everyday as a child) and visited Hardy's grave at St. Michael's, or rather, that of his heart only. I wonder whether the very straight path is still of Roman origin.

The stone grave of Thomas Hardy, next to it are other graves and you can see the grass surrounding it. On the front of the grave, it says: "HERE LIES THE HEART OF THOMAS HARDY OM SON OF THOMAS AND JEMIMA HARDY HE WAS BORN AT UPPER BOCKHAMPTON 2 JUNE 1840 AND DIED AT MAX GATE DORCHESTER 11 JANUARY 1928 HIS ASHES REST IN POET'S CORNER WESTMINSTER ABBEY
Path between Dorchester and Stinsford. A very straight path lined by fences on both sides. The green grass stands out against the blue sky. One can see trees in the background.
St. Michael, Stinsford. A church made of grey stone with an England flag on top of the church tower. In front, there's the graveyard witj various grave stones visible.
