Sunday saw another adventure day for myself and Laura D. We are getting on through the Magnificent Seven and visited our penultimate cemetery; West Norwood. I travelled to parts of South London I have never wandered before, taking full advantage of being that way in order to pay the amazing dinosaurs of Crystal Palace Park... Continue Reading →
I woke up early again this Sunday! I had my breakfast, said goodbye to my other half and off I headed out in the rain. For the day was made for cemetery wandering and cemetery wandering I was about to do! The gates from within the cemetery Nunhead cemetery is one of the least known... Continue Reading →
My week in summary! Fairly long post I'm afraid but thought I would update you all on what's been happening. Sunday Sunday morning I got up nice and early and headed to the Gardens of Peace Muslim cemetery. I was very kindly granted a complimentary place on a Funeral Awareness Course for Women by the...

I’ve seen a creepier and crawlier side to my job this week. Possibly the one I’m most fearful of. Do you know what bed bugs look like? I didn’t, but I do now. There are a number of parasites and tiny creatures that call the human body home or food. Some whether dead or alive.... Continue Reading →
Firstly, apologies for the delay in posting this!

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 →
Along St. Thomas Street, just up the road from Guy's Hospital where I used to work last year and the fancy Shard building, there is a doorway that most people just walk past. Tucked in the corner of that doorway to a restaurant is another door that opens to a spiral staircase that appears to... Continue Reading →
Highgate Cemetery opened in 1839 and today is probably the most famous and visited of all the Magnificent Seven. Today it is still in use and the burial site of some of the most famous of London’s population. The site is divided by Swains Lane and has an East and West side. The West side... Continue Reading →
I first visited this cemetery a long time ago, I don't remember exactly when but I think I was at university... I don't even what to think about how long ago that was! In a post wedding fair haze (we decided to call yesterday (Saturday) something like 'many weddings and a funeral' but couldn't settle... Continue Reading →
