Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.

It is with thanks to Eric’s blog here on WP ( http://www.ericfoltin.com ) that I was reminded I have yet to visit a place in North London that has captured my imagination more than once.

In one of his recent posts, he mentioned something called atlasobcura.com. A fabulous website that suggests places around the world you may be interested in visiting. There are 562 ideas for London alone.

Highgate Cemetery/ Nature reserve. 37 acres of Victorian Gothic architecture and atmosphere with 170.000 interments -graves/urns.

The list of inmates is a long one, and so very impressive, were their accomplishments: Artists, scientists, writers, historians, surgeons, industrialists, furniture makers and engravers, and so many more.

Most of the names I didn’t recognise, but well done them for achieving what they did.

George Michael, Bob Hoskins, and  Douglas Adams are there along with Charles Dickens and his family, as is William, Gabriel, and Christina Rossetti 💜
