Outside Dustland Fairytale Antiques
This is my second shot of the same stranger, Sean, shot outside his wonderfully quirky shop.
(What follows is the same text I wrote for the other shot:)
I found Sean (pictured) outside his quirky little antiques shop in Midsomer Norton (Somerset, England). Even though it was a cold January day, Sean was sat out there having a cuppa. He joked he was known as the laziest person in Midsomer Norton as he was always seen sat outside.
Sean kindly let me take his picture and told me about some of the history of Midsomer Norton and in particular his shop. It is tiny and incredibly narrow and quirky going to a point, jammed to the beams with even more quirky antiques and collectables. If I recall what he said correctly, parts of it were 900 years old. It sits opposite St John's church which has been there since 1150.
His shop is called Dustland Fairytale Antiques if anyone wants to pay his shop a visit. There's not many of these places left now because of the internet.
