i went for a walk today

around Highgate Cemetery. It was beautiful and peaceful, and I took a few moments of silent respect payment by the graves of Douglas Adams, Malcolm McClaren and Bert Jansch among others, then was stunned into further silence by the grave of Ugo Ehiogu, memorialised by the lyrics of one of my favourites, Bill Withers, "AIN'T NO SUNSHINE WHEN HE'S GONE". All in all a great afternoon of meanderment and thought provocation. I primarily loved how "unenglish" an awful lot of the family names there are.

Did you catch sight of The Circle of Lebanon or Egyptian Avenue - both West Cemetery ?

if not, theyre worth a visit next time your in there.

Quite a lot of the West Cemetery was closed off today, but I will be going back.

Gee it's probably 35 years since I was last there. Karl Marx is also buried there, along with Alan SiIlitoe and Max Wall

Had no idea Ugo was there, will definitely look out for him next time I am there. Stuart Hall is there too iirc I last went a few years ago.

Never been in, probably due to laziness as I am about 30 minutes walk away.
