At last, my walk to work has been restored! Lower Ormond Street is open to pedestrians again (and cars, tsk).
It has the most lovely but simple old warehouse building on it. And it’s becoming one part of my new walk to work ritual. For those of you who’ve read this sort of thing from me before, I was really in love with my ritual of a certain walk from my old flat to my old office, most of which was loaded with personal and spiritual meaning and overtones.
Now we’ve moved both flats and offices, it’s not been the same… But slowly slowly I feel like I’m beginning to build an attachment and meaning to my half hour walk each way every day. And having Lower Ormond Street back on it is one such step – after 9 weeks of them finishing the two abutting buildings (on an old car park and an empty lot) which has meant the road has been closed.
I would post a pic or a map, but there’s nothing sensible out there on the web already, so I might try and take one on the way in tomorrow… It’s just round behind Oxford Road and the station, for anyone who knows where that is, near the site of the old Little Ireland from the 1800s, and not far from the Student Village building.
