This is my local butchers shop. Most times, you can go in and have a nice chat with friendly butcher Kevin. Not today though. Today is his busiest day of the year, so all morning long there will be queues out the door and no time for small talk.

Sadly, for a lot of the year, people (including me) tend to get their shopping from corporate giants like Tesco instead of having a chat with Kev.

It's very nice you have something like this in your area, sadly like you said ,they becoming a thing of the past, nice shots. cd catdad · 2008-12-24: 10:40

What a pretty neighborhood shop. I like how # 2 gives a closeup of the people, and context in respect to the rest of the neighborhood. Nubster · 2008-12-26: 20:14
