Trolley 423

Having been dispatched to town this morning to get a haircut, I thought a spot of relaxing trolley hunting would be the thing while I waited the ten minutes or so before it was my turn in the chair. To find a rather wet M&S food hall trolley in the passage to the station, once the Ashmore Passage, now the Kokoro Passage, presumably for the people at reference 2. While next door, what used to be the Café Rouge, a place we used to use from time to time, looks set to be home to an outlet of the famous Cappadocia chain. At least so the sign tells us. Presumably a branch of the place in Kingston which we have used from time to time. I rather liked it, but BH found it a bit noisy. Notwithstanding, I dare say we will try this place when it is up and running.

With Cappadocia being a region in the north east of Turkey, a more or less independent kingdom at the time of Alexander the Great, say 300BC. Christian until about the time that the Turks arrived, that is to say at roughly the same time as the Normans arrived here in England to take part in the Battle of Hastings. Lots of history and now lots of tourists.

Trolley returned to its stack in the Ashley Centre entrance to M&S. At which point, unusually, I recovered a pound coin from the handle lock for my trouble. 

PS: OneDrive playing up again. Had to resort to manual intervention to get this snap to Google.
