As planned, we went into Stafford by bus this morning. We must be getting the hang of these trips, because, despite having quite a shopping list, we managed to get round everywhere and still come back on the 11.50 service, just over an hour after we arrived.
There's a selection of three butchers in the indoor market, so a good choice of meat. One of them is almost a traditional pork butcher, mainly selling ham, pork, sausages and pies. I'd almost forgotten such merchants existed, though I remember them well from my early childhood.
After lunch, I trolled round to Anglo Welsh, and, after a bit of hunting about, found someone to serve me. Unfortunately, they didn't have any 5 litre cans of oil in stock, so I had to settle for 2 one litre bottles, just enough to refill the sump with what I had already. We duly did the work, and Sanity Again is now all ready for her year's cruising – we can hardly wait, less than three weeks to go :) .
