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.)

Who claimed to supply "everything from a pin to an elephant"? The long-defunct Whiteleys? Harrods? The Stores (as in Army & Navy, not Co-op)? I mourn that Bourne from which no Hollingsworth returns, but then, I'm old. And at least Harrods kept its food hall when its owner Mohammed Fayed took them out of House of Fraser, though HoF does, I think sell Cokein our local branch, as well as having a beer section which regularly makes the CAMRA honours.
