LOROS- Farewell Weekend

 Following a summer in the city for the Stomp Round Leicester trail (see previous video https://youtu.be/6y_U-KduAzk?si=iHLyxxtkJVXzhVsv) the heard stomped home to the  @LOROSHospice  and gathered together for a farewell weekend, giving visitors a chance to see the spectacular sight of all the Elephants from baby to full sized together in one location. The  @wildinart  trail has been enthralling Leicester residents and those who came to  @visitleicester during the summer months. We start inside the Hospice and the smaller elephants created by local schools etc and a surprise cameo appearance from the  @501stUKGarrison  !. Heading outside we find the colourful larger Elephants as seen around the city with King Richard III represented and both  @LCFC  and  @leicestertigers  too. The  @StarWars  Stormtroopers are posing for photos with visitors alongside the artists behind the designs and there`s fun mixed with a hint of sadness as we say farewell to them. As we walk around the gathered heard we realise how many there are and when auctioned how much they potential could raise in much needed funds for  @LOROSHospice  and their important work. Goodbye Elephants as you go to your new homes like you we wont forget the summer you spent having a Stomp Round Leicester.

Getting closer now we see the Charterhouse itself with it`s mishmash of styles people are picnicking and enjoying the good weather with Helios looming behind. Now up close to the art work we find a glass model of the earth made in scale to the sun, giving a true perspective of the size of the sun itself. Looming high above the fiery giant really is the...
