Spencers of Hathern

Today was a day that pushed my ability to find time for 365.

I have spent all day sorting car problems, stuck in traffic, having blood tests, in meetings, on SKYPE with customers, collecting visitors from the station 30 miles away in rush hour, collecting cars 30 miles in the other direction, also during rush hour, returning hire cars.......

So, today it is my turn for a craptastic photo. I found 2 minutes to walk to the village and shot this board on the wall of the local butchers.

My wife is from Hathern, and my Microbrewery business is also in Hathern. Hathern boasts 3 very important B's. A Bakery, a Brewery and a Brass Band.

Spencers Bakery make the most fantastic bread rolls, or Cobs as they are known in the East Midlands. I cannot wait until Lent is over and I can sample their wares once more!!

I like your term "craptastic"! I will have to borrow it from you because I've had my fair share of those types of pics. HA! But I have to tell you, I don't consider this one in that group at all. I've always thought chalkboard menus are nostalgic and cool and on an angle against the brick it pushes it to the supercool level! I like it!

[Andreas]

Know how you´re feeling. Interesting perspective, lovely brick colours.

[Leslie]

Oh, please! Craptastic, my foot. I like it. Great tones/textures and obvious you at least made a little effort based on your pov.

[Jennie Cole]

What a great angle! Makes the board look so interesting. I love the textures here too. That brick is a wonderful backdrop.

[Simply Amanda]

Well done, Sean. Far from Craptastic:)! Sweet angle. Looks like a great place to go.

[Bazza]

Craptastic, what a fantastic word. And your picture is very good Sean. Hope tomorrow is slower for you!.

[Leslie]

craptastic ROTFL
I love your POV and the colors and the focus...
ITS A FAV

[John Cornell]

I'll have a ploughmans and a pint of bitter.

Nice shot and angle

[Lisa]

Fab POV. Very cool

[Jen Hudson]

Good thinking on your shot, sometimes inspiration just strikes. Agree with all that Terry said. Waiting to see the other two b, especially the brass band. Could you arrange sound?

[Ann Stenson]

Well i think this is great!.....talk about a busy day! and 24p for a crusty cob.....is damn good value!! ; D

[Tracy]

I don't think it is very craptastic at all LOL it';s a great pov, the contrast texture and colour of the bricks are a beautiful boarder.

[Debbie Orlando]

I don't know how you found time to get even this shot! Same here...been so busy the past couple of days. I don't think the shot is craptastic, though.

[Livia]

Haha, I don't think that shot qualifies for craptastic. Try again! (No, don't. ;D ) I like the perspective and textures. And how hungry reading that board has made me. 8)

[Sheli]

Leslie (1) made me laugh. I really like this photo, Sean. I like the idea of Hathern too.

[michelle mcintyre]

Wow ...what an incredibly busy day ...your craptastic photo is pretty good...the menu sounds good too!!

[Robin]

Yes, great textures - very inventive angle too.
