Trolley 371

Snapped here, half way out of the stream down Longmead Road, as advertised at reference 1.

I had taken the full stream fishing gear along with me, but this proved unnecessary, with the pole being enough to be sure of my footing at the bottom of the bank, although I did hang the grappling iron off the basket for this snap.

The trolley came out of the stream clean and there was no need to take it home for a wash and brush up. It also came from an M&S food hall, but the label on the handle was 'M&S Food', rather than 'M&S Food Hall', the label on all the trolleys in the stack in the Epsom store. Had this one come all the way from their store in Ashtead?

On the way into town, I called in the shop mentioned at reference 2, where the walnuts looks fit for purpose again. Complete with the red diamonds that mean produce of California.

While on the way back, I visited the library's book sale, falling for just three books on this occasion. The first a picture book about the tinplate toys made by a famous German firm (Märklin of reference 3) - with Bing suggesting that some of the rarer items fetch several thousand pounds at auction, and one or two of the rarest items a lot more than that. The second a book about digital photography by one Ian Farrell which may inform my ponderings about same. The third a lady-written novel from the US which may interest BH. Failing which the Methodist Book Fair is coming up fast, a fair which apparently made near £40,000 last year - which seems like a huge amount of money for a second hand book fair run in a church hall. See reference 4.

PS: for future reference: this trolley was made by Wanzl.
