Stu and I have found a new walking route near home that takes about 45 minutes and wends through cricket fields and Hampstead cemetery, which is very very old and full of incredibly beautiful stone angels and crosses draped with rampant ivy. I like that this space for the dead is filled with the living. There are people jogging, walking dogs, pushing children in strollers - in no way does it feel sombre or heavy. The living make it part of their life and their community.
This pic is from in between two of the cricket pitches, and looks across to the arches of the new Wembley stadium being built not too far from us.
