day trip to somerset

i do like a nice roadtrip. 

yesterday a magazine sent me to somerset on a shoot.

i left whitfield towers at about 5am.

i have no idea where this was but i remember it was breakfast time.

also i was the only person in the cafe not wearing hi-vis clothing.

this was called the 'olympic breakfast' 

i find it very hard to believe any olympic athletes would eat this though...

unless perhaps darts is now an olympic sport ?

when i got to the location i put on my coffee face as i let slip that i'd driven from

london and that i started my journey at 5am...

this brought the response i'd been hoping for...

" oh, would you like a coffee ? "

boom !

it was as strong as you like... perfect !

i photographed the restaurant interior with my leica m9 using a 18mm lens

but i also did a few shots for myself using the gf1. here's one of them.

a view from the mezzanine down towards the ground floor, taking care that

i got the reflection of my kicks in the shot.

as an xmas bonus i did not one, but two self-portraits...

i like this shot as you can see all three levels of the restaurant... and me

and finally
