We went to Sainsbury’s today as usual to do our week’s shopping. We had a relatively short shopping list this week. Why? For a reason that I will explain later.

Today’s shopping run was like every other Sunday shopping run, without any novelties to make headlines. I will therefore just show you the photos I took along the way. Nothing new there, either.

Baron Street

Another cloudy day but no rain, according to the Met Office but are they right? Time will tell…

The Farmers’ Market

The Farmers’s Market always takes place on Sundays (outside of pandemics, of course) but its appearance is nonetheless reassuring.

Sainsbury’s

The only novelty at Sainsbury’s was the complete absence of trolleys, the first time that has happened. It doesn’t surprise me hugely though as this branch is bad at opening on time and keeping stock on the shelves. Or are all Sainsbury’s branches as bad as this one? I eventually managed to find a trolley in the car park.

The Checkout

We chose a checkout where most customers ahead of us had baskets rather than trolleys. In addition, as this was a short shop for us, we were soon done.

Luggage and household goods

I hurried through the market with the cup holder. (Yes, I didn’t leave it trapped in the returned trolley as I did last week, leading to scalded hands on the way home.) I did pause briefly, however, to bring you a photo of the market.

Mercer’s for coffee

I went to Mercer’s for our coffee. They were not busy and so that job too was quickly done.

Serving through the window

I saw that they also serve customers through the window in fine weather. Should I have tried this? Well, maybe, one day.

Through the window at Mercer’s

If I had ordered at the window, I wouldn’t have been able to bring you this photo of “the world seen from Mercer’s window”. Would you have missed it? Probably not 🙂

Tigger has put the shopping away and is having a little rest. In a while we will have lunch and then venture forth again. I will no doubt have some more pictures for you then.
