Plymouth (January 2023)
The train from London to Plymouth is around 4 hours.
Plymouth, England
Over the years, this neglected space near the Railway Station has been tarnished with litter, graffiti and illegal dumping. Brick Project, in association with Mayflower 400 turned it into a permanent piece of public art. The walls were painted in acrylic, one brick at a time by locals guided by paid Plymothian assistant artist Facilitators between May 21st & 31st 2021.
Although nearby houses appear on the 1910 OS map, the steps themselves aren't shown until the 1930s and are not considered historically significant. We safely delivered this activity following social distancing measures. The activity was free and open to literally everyone.
Swimming
Posessions
The main reason I had for coming back to Plymouth was to clear out my storage locker. I had been using Big Yellow Storage, paying nearly £50 a month to stow a suitcase of posessions. Stuff I had brought over from New Zealand but barely used.
One of the things I had brought over with me is a bar of soap that smells like Rotorua!
The Hutong Café
CaféMy favourite cafe in Plymouth, next to the Royal William Yard.
Fantastic bagels.
Outdoor seating (there are a couple of tables indoors but they are often occupied). They do a fantastic flat white coffee.
No wifi, use your hotspot.
