Trolley 541

No.541 was captured on a damp morning at the top of the Kokoro passage. The M&S food hall was busy enough, but the farmers' market outside was not very busy. Nor were there very many farmers, but then the term has always been a bit of a nonsense in suburban Epsom. There was a chap selling processed meat from Croatia.

But there was this representative from Riverford, a foodie operation based near the Staverton sub-station, deep in rural Devon, last noticed at reference 2. Unfortunately, the chap manning the stall was in deep conversation so I was unable to quiz him about exactly where he himself was based and where his stuff came from. But the refurbished clock tower looked well in this light: not such a big step from eyesore - which was what many thought it was at the time it was built - to national treasure.

Onto to East Street where I was surprised by a very low flying passenger jet, heading east. I wondered about City Airport (LCY).

Back home, I dialled up the helpful reference 3, snapped above, but I was unable to work out where my plane might have been going, although I think LCY remains my best offer. Of course, if I had a proper telephone, I could have called up reference 3 while the plane was still in sight and clicked on it - which would have revealed all. But that is not to be for some time yet, at least hopefully not; my Microsoft telephone might be getting a bit creaky, but I like it and it still does most of what I want.

A bit further on, the creationists' yard had been cleared of the industrial waste disposal units that had been there and there was just one trolley to be seen, right at the back by the smoking den. Left on this occasion, partly because I was no longer in a trolley pushing mood, partly because one does not like to recover trolleys from deep inside private property.

Maybe I should forward it to Chris Grayling, Conservative MP for us here at Epsom, who remains firmly opposed to assisted dying, despite a big majority of his constituents wanting change. But we will get there in the end, with or without him!
