ASH W.R. - CH - As reported in March, headstone can be rocked slightly backwards and forwards and this does seem to be slightly more pronounced than last time (noted HR comment 08/03/2022 "Do keep an eye on the loose headstone and let me know if it gets any worse"). Otherwise, plumb. Minor chip and scratch lower [LHS]. Rubber residue from lawn mower impact (see previous reports) continues to fade. Slight black spotting around top of headstone. Minor weeding done.
