Attention East Oxford!

One of the empty shops upwind of The Magdalen Arms on Iffley Road seems to be turning into a real place again. Although it's still at the paint-pots and ladders stage presently, its very slightly uneven red lettering proclaims that it is soon to be a Global Deli. The fascia proudly announces it will sell:
Organic   Fair Trade   Local


Now, if we leave aside wondering how (b) and (c) correlate there - I'm not aware of systematic oppression and underpayment of Cotswold produce merchants, but maybe that's my ignorance - I think this sounds like a good thing. A global deli for local foodstuffs on my doorstep. Everyone should patronise it. Further reports from the field as and when it opens.

Oh, and Dad asked me to pass on his own thanks to everyone who's been leaving him kind thoughts and wishes on here.

Sadly, I think the mother has become jealous of the attention since she managed to engineer her own trip to casualty this morning. She assures me it was only a minor case of having to have her head glued back together. Honestly, you just can't get the parents these days, can you ?
