iceLife The half heard mutterings of a Kiwi a long, long way from home.

Our friend Abbe did something totally original for her birthday - she took a lucky group of friends, including us, on a guided walk through Highgate, in North London.



We saw sites of interest including where both Dickens and Coleridge used to live, several pubs of note and almost a cemetery. Finished off with a great meal at a local meze place. It was a very fun day. Thanks Abbe!

Here are 11 photos of the Highgate Walking tour and there's a wee video of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner outside Coleridge's old gaff, innit, guvnor.
