Rachel and I went on a little adventure yesterday in search of a gravestone at Rippleside Cemetery in Upney in East London. 9 minutes on the tube from my home was well worth the effort. Rippleside is slightly hidden up the road from Upney tube station just one stop away from Barking on the district... Continue Reading →
Last Wednesday my dear friend Rachel and I got together and hosted the first (certainly not the last) Hornchurch Death Cafe. I’ve had a few days to take it all in before writing it up due to a very busy few days escaping to the Isle of Wight for a wedding! However time has only... Continue Reading →
Warning- this discussion may not be everyone's cup of tea! I hope you’ve all been enjoying the warmer weather! I knew exactly what to discuss this week, when my colleague told me that the recent change had led to the increase in what we know as ‘decomps’. Unfortunately, those that lie somewhere and aren’t found... Continue Reading →
It’s about time I got around to answering your questions isn’t it? I will begin with a slight warning however, I might go into more detail here than you would like. I will always try and mention this at the start of any post I write if I think any contents might be upsetting. If... Continue Reading →
The title is supposed to be a take on the Love Actually line that ‘Love actually is all around’ but it turned out to sound somewhat darker than I intended.

No excuse, but the week has been a busy one with preparations for our engagement party this weekend and I have managed to cram in a lot apart from writing a blog post from the weekend. Secondly, another apologies that this will be a largely photo based... Continue Reading →
Somehow, the last week came together in a nice neat epiphany last night. I think you would call it an epiphany anyways, or at least I had one of those ‘this is all connected!’ moments that forced a big grin on my face and I knew I had to write about it. As you may... Continue Reading →
Well the really lovely weather left us as quickly as it came, and currently it’s a weird combination of windy, sunny and rainy. I can’t complain as such, there are some great rainbows when it’s like this. This might be a death blog, but I’m British therefore I still must refer to the weather a... Continue Reading →
Old St. Pancras Church Hidden in a street behind St. Pancras Station is Old St. Pancras church, small in size and atop a kind of hill up some stone steps. Surrounding the church are the remnants of a churchyard. I say remnants because at first you don’t really see much of a graveyard as such.... Continue Reading →
Well in case you didn’t know, we have had some very Summer-esque weather here the past couple of days. I feel that I have fully immersed myself in this by having drunk cider in a beer garden and got my first sting of sunburn that I always do as a pale, basement dweller. Friday I... Continue Reading →
