Manchester cafe

Struggled a bit with photos today after a long ride to the Dublin airport with traffic jams, being a flying sardine, then catching up with stepdaughter's family etc. We went out to lunch in this cafe - a popular spot with a varied menu including scotch eggs (that they had run out of)

Three good things;
1. Finally in the UK and an upcoming visit to @happypat on the cards!
2. Went to a school play and after two wines, it got better.
3. Interaction with a 15 year old boy - but I'm not one of these dear old grandmother types!

Looks like a nice place! Great shot!

[Debs Stott]

Gorgeous processing! Fav

[Keri]

Nice processing. I like the name of the cafe

[Cally]

I love everything about it; the processing, and detail in the subject matter, all complementing each other. It could be a painting for a children s book.
Actually the only think I don't like is the price of the ice-creams!!

[Pam Knowler]

Lovely shot Maggiemae!! Welcome to the UK - hope you have a fab time here!! Will you be travelling round very much while you are here? Fav by the way - great processing!!

[Pat Knowles]

Fave for me too Maggiemae! Love the HDR which gives it an old fashioned feel. All this jet setting is very tiring!!
Can't believe I am writing this waiting for you to arrive any minute....how very weird & wonderful! We will have a great catch up!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Just emailed you Pat.

[Dione Giorgio]

I have to fav this too, Maggiemae. The processing makes it look like a scene from the times of Charles Dickens.

[Daisy Miller]

Lovely photo that tells a story. This reminds me of a Norman Rockwell painting, but with a water color paint look. A fav for sure

What a great shot-fav! Love the clarity of the processing and the set up. Very local feel to it. Would be a great project to do something similar in other towns and cities.

[Maggiemae]

@whysu That's a great idea Ms W! Very unspecial place perhaps but a local feeling!

[Gena Pegg]

Love the processing you use Maggie..is it Photoshop. What a wonderul capture with so much going on. Really excllent!!! FAV

[Stephanie Swift]

No wonder this is on the PP--it's such a lovely, "homey" pitcure with processing which suits it perfectly--another fav.

[Maggiemae]

@eyesmile Thanks for nice comments Gena! I don't have photoshop - not the patience to try and follow though I believe it does do HDR nicely!
