This batch started by return to a rather hot Epsom from Waterloo, of which more in due course. I was with BH which usually precludes trolley capture, but on this occasion I had nipped on ahead to pay a visit to Pearl the Chemist, next to M&S.
My first was a medium small trolley from the M&S food hall left right outside the station.
My second was two large trolleys from the M&S food hall from the Kokoro Passage. All of which took up a bit of time, which I explained away by doing a spot of shopping in the food hall. As luck would have it, there was a taxi, complete with driver, right next to where BH was sitting, when I got back.
Despite the heat, I managed a circuit later in the afternoon, picking up this medium small trolley from M&S underneath Hudson House.
A second circuit which included a young lady using an umbrella as a sunshade, my second of the day, not counting my own. It remains odd how few people do this, even during heat waves. An umbrella can be a bit of a bother, particularly when there are lots of other people about, but even so.
At this point, I decided that a bit of solid food was needed to supplement what had been a fruitarian lunch and opted for a cheese flavoured chunk of bread from the M&S food hall, almost certainly something called a pizzetta : 'Our moreish Balsamic Onion and Cheese Pizzetta is a fluffy foccacia dough topped with balsamic caramelised red onions, mature cheddar, and mozzarella'. I took most of it sitting on the irritating art work snapped above. It was rather like one of my own cheese scones, not bad at all. I dare say I will buy one again when need arises, it suiting me rather better than a ready made sandwich. Which would also have been rather dearer.
Irritating partly because I don't care for conflating figure sculpture with park benches - even if they are in the shade - and partly because intelligent ladies - this being Emily Davison - should know better than to interfere with race horses travelling at speed. Even when the ruling gentlemen are behaving badly - which is no fault of the horses.
I merely noted the presence of this exotic trolley from Lidl, it still being far too hot at 17:30 to think of trudging up Upper High Street with it. Maybe it would still be there on another occasion.
Home to start planning the celebration for reaching 900 trolleys. With the magic 1,000 starting to look like a proposition after all.
