Wednesday Window: watching Brompton cemetery graves
Brompton Cemetery statue
I took this photo while visiting Brompton Cemetery in London. It’s the face of one of the most photographed statues in the cemetery. It stands on the grave of a nineteenth century restaurant owner and is said to be a representation of Thanatos.
If this is what death looks like, I won’t mind meeting him. 
Me neither! He is very handsome.

Lovely cemetery photo. Tomme cheese on your earlier recipe? What is that, I wonder?
Yummers on the french food. I’m now back in New Mexico with all of the hot chilis.
Cheers.

what a wonderful picture! Now I’ve got to go to Brompton. We did Kesnal Green a couple of years ago - that was photo heaven.
O (and I’m being cheeky sorry) I’ve just posted a vid we put together of our January Paris trip - that is such a wonderful city for walking, filming, and photographing.
