Good evening all. JoesDad and I have been on another “Hidden London” tour this evening. This time of Highgate Station in north London.

This station was built in 1876, and should have become a very important station. However, World War II got in the way and, while the underground station lives, now the overground station has been overtaken by nature and it is home to many creatures, including 2 rare bat species.

This is actually part of the platform... now much overgrown!

It would really be nice if the building could be restored without disturbing the bats and other critters. It's a really beautiful old building.

Well, it's time for me to go off to the post office and get my mail. I'm expecting a brochure telling me what to do to prepare for my colonoscopy next Tuesday. GAG! I hate the taste of that awful stuff you have to drink. Then I'm going shopping. See (or not) all you later in the day.
One time I was at the doctor's office and he gave me the rubber glove treatment. I said to the doctor....... What a large ring you have.
He replied that's not my ring. It's my wristwatch.:eek:

Joe loved thunderstorms. He would be out in the middle of the lawn. Not so keen on ordinary rain; he would hide for that.

Sounds just like our Sully. At the height of the storms, Sully will be out having lunch, or dinner or a snack. I’m thinking a good rain is just vertical hydration.
