Due to the recent rain this month’s walk was an urban trail. We were blessed with a dry morning for our walk. (The afternoon was rainy again and some of us got a little wet walking back to our cars after lunch.)
The walk was devised to take us on a tour of Leamington’s vibrant street art scene. As you can see in the photos, the colours are vibrant and bright even on a dull day.
Being a group of Mirth men it is all too easy to get distracted along the way. In Jephson Gardens a large delivery of topsoil had just arrived, this needed investigation. (Apparently from Bristol, the flower beds need topping up every 3 to 4 years.) We then carried on to explore the street art starting with the elephants near the bridge.
As we walked around the Althorpe Street industrial estate we were intrigued by 44 year old Rolls Royce Silver Shadow being restored in one of the small garage units. We were provided with an impromptu tour of the car.
We continued our walk around the south of Leamington passing one of the largest works on a gable end of a house in Shrubland Street.
We found our way to the Old Library for lunch.
