Well, I just went to Woodley to buy some batteries. I failed - they proved too obscure for the likes of Robert Dyas and the Post Office - but found a Farmers' Market.

So I now have real apple juice - I like to think of it as blood wrenched from living apples. And some apple and ginger juice. And some intriguing-looking cider. And some handmade cheese with tomato and paprika in it.

And there was a pig roast going on. So I got a bun full of pig and apple sauce and crackling.

Farmers' Markets are a good thing.

(And I have batteries, too, but had to hitch a lift to the rather more prosaic Maplins with Sysadmin #1 to acquire them.)

Is it always the equivalent of today ? ie <counts> the third Wednesday ?

I think so. Its always a wednesday, but I've never been organised enough to make a note of exactly which wednesday (although it does say on the banners in the centre of the precinct). There was a time when my trips to Woodley were frequent enough that I could be sure of just turning up on the right day. They always seem to have the pig roast.

Can't see why not, oh owner of a car with more than two seats.

That Wednesday (17th Dec) seems to be the day I have to hare like a mad fool up to Nottingham to see New Model Army in the evening, so I might not have time to go a-Woodling.

*sob*

Well, even though I'm theoretically on holiday that day, I do start to wonder whether it would be worth driving all the way to Woodley from Oxford just to get some roast pig inna bun.

Mmm, Roast Pig...
