Trolley 376

Captured outside the Ford Centre in Blenheim Road, having been spotted in the distance the day before.

Large new recovery vehicle present. Large showman's caravan missing. The chap checking a car out on the Ford forecourt had very little English so I was not able to find out what had happened to it. Presumably not a customer facing role, despite his presence on the forecourt.

A bit further on, a couple of crows, not jackdaws so perhaps rooks. The larger was standing very quiet, head down, while the other groomed said head with its beak. Rather a vulnerable pose for the first if the second throws a wobbly, so perhaps some kind of precursor to mating. For a squirrel version from last year, see reference 1.

Trolley returned to what looked like a fairly busy Sainsbury's.

I thought to visit the 'Fresh Kitchen' operation upstairs, noticed at reference 2, to find a rather smart and rather large café offering drinks and snacks - that is to say cakes, buns, biscuits, toasties and modest fry-ups. I thought rather attractive, with the seating in three slightly separate zones which would keep the noise down. But not many customers. Perhaps the place doubles as the staff canteen, which would make sense from the point of view of provision. Perhaps it also does builders first thing in the morning, giving them a working clothes exemption, most of the traditional builders' cafés having closed, not that many of them ever did offer copious parking.

A space carved out of the main shed at first floor level. Views over some of the shopping areas.
