The title comes from endless walks around odd corners of my local neighbourhood during Covid lockdowns. An architecturally uninspiring housing estate is adorned with some striking murals. One of these is a surreal adaptation of Wordsworth’s famous “I wandered lonely as a cloud” poem where the “golden daffodils” are replaced by “shimmering flamingos”.
