Dear friends, psychogeographers and comrades in loitering
Its First Sunday, this Sunday and time for a wander, but in the meantime Merry Gothmas, Samhain Greetings and Happy Hallowe’en to those of you who celebrate one of my favourite dates in whatever way you will
Novembers derive has a guest facilitating our curious, convivial and communal travels. Thanks to Lydia for hosting a “Withy Walls Wander.” I don’t know quite what we will discover but she has shared some of the themes we will be exploring… “the writing on the wall; murals and graffiti; flyposting and stickers versus paid advertising; small details and the bigger picture; community activism or gentrification; moss, lichen and weeds; intended interventions and accidental juxtapositions.” Many of these resonate across time and place and I have no doubt this will be a loiter to treasure.
We will meet Lydia 2pm on Sunday 3rd November outside Withington Library, 410 Wilmslow Road M20 3BD. There are lots of buses that stop nearby, but Lydia points out Withington Tram stop isn’t – it’s 1.2 miles away. Please try to be punctual as I don’t know which direction we will head in.
As ever with LRM events all are welcome to join us and its free. The direction and pace of the walk will be determined collectively by whoever turns up – we are The LRM. After around 90-120 minutes we will retire somewhere for a brew and blether. Our only rules are to take care of each other and the environment we walk through, and to not be an arse.
If you have any questions or want more information or have ideas for future First Sundays please don’t hesitate to get in touch: email [email protected] text/whatsapp 07974929589 x @thelrm or facebook “the loiterers resistance movement”.
I hope to see you on the streets soon
Love and golden apples
