Goto Cedrics site and check out some of his other work, all good and i will be posting the other 5 photos next week I hope you have enjoyed these photos as much as i have, a lot of people hace critiqued them, all good though, if i was going to be buying an original photo think id contact Cedric and slip him a bag of chips, bottle of Irn-Bru and bobs your uncle.

Flood Damage, clear-up commences

About 2 weeks ago we got a whole shit-load of water from the frigging cafe upstairs, the dafties had a plastic compression fitting that wasn't properly fitted, gravity is a bitch and the water poured into fat buddha, all cleaned up now BUT. We need to close for 4 weeks, to bring the ceilings down, dry out the joists and stick the ceiling back up again. You will ofcourse be able to shop online at http://www.fatbuddhastore.com/ , so, look forward to see you instore when we re-open and hope you like the subtle changes we will be making during hte closure.
