      Tom and I decided to head up north on the Northern Line today and explore Highgate.

      There were so many pretty houses and the view over London was amazing.

      We stopped for a drink at The Flask, a pub that dates back to the 1600's and has served the likes of Karl Marx and Dick Turpin.

      It was packed inside so we sat in the beer garden, but as the pub is at the top of the very steep Highgate Hill, our drinks were a little tilted as they sat on the table.

    The square across from the pub had been transformed into the George Michael Memorial Garden, as he used to live in the area.

    The memorial was huge and filled with hundreds of photos, altars, gifts and balloons.

    Several members of his fan club were busy lighting candles as we walked around.

      We walked down Highgate Hill afterwards, and stopped for a slice of cake at Kalendar.

      We'd come here years before, so we knew the chocolate cake would be good.

      We treated ourselves to vegan Chinese food at Loving Hut afterwards so we could work our way through more of the menu.

      We shared some sweet n sour vegan chicken and then I had lemon chicken with crispy noodles, while Tom tucked into a seitan chicken burger.

      During our meal, we got an exciting message to tell us that we'd have some exciting visitors coming to stay for New Year's Eve tomorrow.
