Trolleys 875 and 876

The circuit started with some debris on the top of West Hill, debris which appeared to all that was left of a car which came off the road - across the oncoming traffic - coming up the hill from Epsom. Taking various road signs with it, including one for cyclists wanting to get to Ewell by turning down Meadway.

Various people on hand to explain what was going on. Apparently it all happened in the middle of the previous evening, a stolen vehicle and was the explanation for the police helicopter we had heard buzzing about - not over Court Recreation Ground for once. One chap, probably someone who lived in one of the house off-snap to the left, was getting quite agitated about when the council men were going to turn out to finish clearing up. I helped gather some of the debris into the main heap.

My first trolley, from B&M, was captured in the middle of the Kokoro Passage, and it rapidly found a (non-scoring) friend on the way back to the store.

Pushed on through town into East Street.

Picking up a Sainsbury's trolley by the rail around what was the creationists' smoking den. No idea at the moment what the point of the rail might be. Maybe it will come to me over breakfast.

Hollyhock, previously noticed, looking well. Interior clearly organised as a five pointed star, but I would not like to say how many petals there were without dissecting the flower. Perhaps I will take one once it starts to go over.

Onto Sainsbury's where eco-action with Sunbelt continues at the back of the car park. The brown fence around the overground part of the operation just about visible above the rolls of black plastic pipe left.

Blackberry action at the bottom of the West Street end of the footbridge over the railway, the footbridge which leads to the gas depot and Travis Perkins.

Clearly a place to visit in a few weeks' time. 

Except that checking the record, I find that our one big pick last year was in early August, after we came back from the Isle of Wight, as noticed at reference 2. Not late June as I was thinking at all.

I might say in passing that the supplies of frozen blackberries are holding up well, and will almost certainly see us through to the new crop. Probably helped by our taking quite a lot of apples with cloves rather than blackberries and our increased consumption of both plums and pineapples.
