The parents are fine, although a little intense. I'm sure you know how it is! Ah, Hoops, you too should definitely make the visit if it's close to your work. For my part, I've been meaning to go to Bunhill Fields for quite some time. Apparently there are some famous people buried there and well, it always looks nice when I see it from the bus window.

There are loads of really nice little parks like this all within lunch-hour walking distance of my work (Bunhill Fields is another good one). I'm going to try it out one day next week...

It's easily found and included on a wander between the Barbican and Smithfields. There is a whole shelter full of the memorials and some are quite touching. More location information is here, but it will be in your A-Z: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postman's_Park I did see that on Piley's blog. Fascinating! Just imagine the kind of person who would even conceive having that inscribed on someone's gravestone. You should definitely go PM.

Ann Freeman (born March 1837, died March 1879) has the following
Here lies a weak and sinful worm,
the vilest of her race,
saved through God’s electing love,
his free and sovereign grace
