Saturday 6th
Were off...........
And the sun is shining!
A small but beautifully formed 'pink' group leave the Riverside Studios. No time is waisted in getting stuck in to the giant chocolate buttons.
We pause to soak up the river and the bridge, then stopping under its heavy weight to hear the traffic over our heads.
We stroll to the Hammersmith Club, and I remind everybody of the very 'real nature of the stories we will hear. We enter Hammersmith club and I receive a welcome wave from my new group of boyfriends.The extraordinary Pamela is waiting for us. Such an incredible and life affirming story of hope over grief: everyone was clearly very moved. The group all thank Pamela and checking she is 'cared for' we head off on our route.
We stop at Brian's Mosaic on the way to King St, along with stories of others I have met. After a brief search I track down David with his interesting, if perhaps slightly truculent, view of what we are doing. All are impressed by his art work
We head back taking in the Headstone's at the back of St Pauls church and The Apollo story. By all accounts a "remarkable" journey.
