Trolley 226

This Sainsbury's trolley was captured by the footbridge running between the bottom of West Street and the Southern Gas Network's Surrey depot at the junction of Roy Richmond Way and Blenheim Road, on the Longmead Estate. Wheel lock present but not deployed.

Notice also the couple of substantial plastic bags containing what looks like street litter. Perhaps an oversight by the van driver attached to a council litter picking team.

The brown bag contains, inter alia, a bottle of Gewürztraminer from Cave de Turkheim from Waitrose, to make a change from our usual house wine, Sauvignon Blanc from Villa Maria from Majestic. About the same price, and as it turned out, it did make a pleasant change. Also a type of wine of which we were drinking a fair bit a few years ago. First mentioned with haggis at reference 1, but the words there suggest that it was not the first time. On the other hand the distribution of search hits in the archive folder, organised by month, does suggest that 2014 was a good year for consumption of the stuff.

Reference 2: https://www.cave-turckheim.com. Inspection suggests they also do Sylvaners and fancy Gewürztraminers. Something else to be tried. The only niggle is that the bottles and labels here are not the same as those that appear in Waitrose. Does Waitrose take a special brew of some sort, customised for the English supermarket?
