Trolley 725

A couple of days ago now, the first trolley for nearly two months, what with holiday and bad back. It would have been a bit conspicuous in town centre, but this one was in East Street, where there are not that many people about. Returned to the main stack at Sainsbury's Kiln Lane.

At the time, I thought that I might have done better to stand my trolley in the basket, but now I am not so sure, the basket being a good bit narrower than the fully deployed rollator. In any event, I don't suppose I am going to make a habit of it, and full-on trolley action will have to wait until I have put the rollator away.

Next stop, the footbridge over the railway, which involved a good number of steps.

A fine dandelion clock, one which could not have been quite ripe as it took a fair bit of puff  to blow the seeds away.

Not many blackberries down the passage, but there was a clump in the stretch between the footbridge and the gas depot. Quite a lot of them were past their best, despite not having gone soft.

A rather handsome flower. Judging by its position in the sequence, it must have been on the Longmead Estate, but I cannot now think where. Have to go back. Google Images not unanimous, but St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) seems probable. A plant with history if reference 2 is anything to go by.

Not quite the same as the German industrial estate noticed at reference 3.

Where there is lots of green, no litter and no damaged roads or pavements.

Back home with the dandelion. Oddly, the phyllotactic spirals are there, but they do not pop-out at you at this magnification.
