Sunday 7th
Arrive to chat with David, not part of our journey today, he is thanked for is time. Met Jean and Alan and their adopted dog Roxy and walk back with them to Riverside, chatting as we go. With a lifetime in Hammersmith, they may join our journey later. Have a chat with Kevin in Riverside, who will be the end point of our adventures today.
Were off...
And the sun is shining
Another team of five 'pink team' hit the road from Riverside. A great mix of energy, and its into the chocolate buttons as we hit the river to gaze. The pause under the bridge is again well received, as people marvel at how much is moves!
We walk past the Hammersmith Club and stop, as I share a brief account of Pamela's story, and how we met.
On to Brian's Mosaic, and the man himself! Armed with a postcard of the Mosaic for each of the group and a large black and white photo of when it was painted, he tells tales all those in it, and was a great hit from the off.
We sallied forth down King St and snuck into the lobby of the Tower block, were the Muriel Brian painted, twenty years ago, still covers the lobby walls.
What a delight, when a resident left and ended up involved in the story, she remembered Brian and him doing the work, and reproached him for not including her in it!
We head back down Angel Walk and looked at Lee's Garden, then across the back of the church, the gravestones, and the Apollo story.
Kevin's framed, centre stage in reception as we enter Riverside and he entertains beautiful with tales of Canada and Acting, whilst making his work announcements over the Riverside PA. All back to the special space, with post it notes of adventures and the desire for more!
