Trolley 567

Having returned yesterday's trolley to the M&S food hall and done my errands, I pushed on to East Street where I found the trolley snapped above outside Majestic Wine. That is to say the warehouse site which someone is trying to redevelop.

Went round to the back to look at their stack. Not one of theirs. Went across the road to ask at petsathome. Not one of theirs either. But the chap did say that he thought that the colour of the grips - there was no other branding - suggested Homebase.

Which was a bit further than I had intended walking, but it was a fine, pleasant morning, so off I went. To find that Homebase sport an impressively eclectic range of trolleys, some quite like this one, if not exactly like this one. But I thought that they would do. The trolley was in perfectly good order and fitted in well enough with the mixture already on offer.

From where I headed into Ewell Village and down West Street to the footbridge over the railway line, to find refurbishment of what had been the headquarters and garages for Epsom Coaches well under way. Will the story that Travis Perkins are headed there turn out to be true?

While a bit further down Blenheim Road, the bank noticed in these pages for its daisies and pyramid orchids, was sporting a fair number of cowslips.

Round the corner too. Only one previous mention of cowslips, so they must be reasonably rare in and around Epsom. At reference 3, from far away Stoneleigh.

While the Tchibo website still claims the large shed behind, empty for a month or more now, as its UK headquarters. Odd that they have not gotten around to updating it yet.

Round another corner, to find a consignment of new wooden picnic tables being delivered to TB, the old ones having been condemned, despite being of much heavier construction. Will they manage to open for the upcoming coronation?

Even if she had wondered whether it had been chucked; coaches, not even old ones, not counting as heritage.
