mackem 26,312 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Been a nice few days locally,beautiful weather.Yesterday I had the opportunity to enter the Highgate Catacombes where 50+ years ago a mob of over a hundred vampire hunters broke into the crypts armed with garlic,crucifix,mallets and stakes to find the Highgate vampire,they damaged the tombs,coffins and desecrated the bodies in the process but they did apparently stake a vampire. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mel b 2,328 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 This is the view from the bench that I put on the side of a hill in my woodland, in memory of my mom and dad. I promised my mom that I'd put a bench up there for them , with a nice view. I polished and carved a stone to go under the bench. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
