Woodland

[poliphilo]

Yes, there are still some leaves in place.

This is a little belt of woodland I traipse through on my way to Sainsbury's or the railway station. There's a factory on one side (they often have noxious bonfires out in the yard) and a road on the other, but if you angle the camera right you can imagine you're in the Forest of Arden.

Sainsbury is a supermarket chain- a rather up-market one. They have recently opened a branch in the town centre. Their mince pies are the best.

Thanks. So you walk there?

In the movie Iris (so beautifully played by Judi Dench), Iris and her husband went shopping at a grocery store and were offered a "bag for life," which appeared to be sturdy plastic.

"Bag for life? Do we deserve it?" asked Iris's husband.

"We have to ask," explained the clerk.

"I should say we would like a bag for life!" he said then.

Does your grocery store have bags for life? We have to buy string bags if we don't want thin plastic or paper.

I walk it sometimes.

One of the supermarkets (I forget which, but it's probably Sainsbury's) offers a bag for life. You pay whatever it is for a sturdy plastic bag and whenever it wears out they replace it for free.
