29 January
Frank Bostock

It's a beautiful day here today... if a little cold! We went for a walk at our local cemetary which is part of the four Victorian Cemetaries in London that have a wild feel to them. The most famous of the group is Highgate but this one is Abney Park which was originally laid out in 1840.

This is the grave of the menagerist Frank Bostock which features a life size sleeping lion of white marble.
