my new neighbo(u)rhood
This is the chapel in Nunhead Cemetery. You can't tell from this photo, but there is no roof on it anymore. Nunhead Cemetery is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries in London (according to Wikipedia, which is always right) and it is around the corner from my house.
The best thing about Nunhead Cemetery is that it is half wild. it's suffered through so many years of neglect that much of it has been taken over by the flora of Nunhead. Some parts have been well cared for but most of it is totally overgrown. It's a pretty amazing site. And like I say, it's just around the corner!
This totally makes up for the recent addition of the following sign to my local pub: "Under New" Management! "Live Jazz" on Sundays!
Now I know I often play fast and loose with the rules of grammar, but such flagrant disregard for the proper use of quotation marks makes me want to weep. It's just not okay!
Thank goodness for Nunhead Cemetery, and double thank goodness for Jeremy's huge collection of vinyl which I'm sure will save us when the zombies attack.

That's insanely beautiful. The cemetery, not the grammar.

Have you seen Shaun of the Dead yet? Brilliant UK zombie comedy.
