  • Makara Morris Men at an orchard-visiting wassail in Kilham village, Yorkshire Wolds, UK on 21st January 2017. Wassail is a traditional Pagan winter celebration in cider-producing regions of England, reciting incantations and singing to the trees to promote a good harvest for the coming year. Pieces of toast soaked in cider are hung in the branches to attract robins to the tree as these are said to be the good spirits of the orchard. To ward off evil spirits, villagers scare them away by banging pots and pans and making as much noise as possible

  • Looking down from a high viewpoint, prospective auction bidders take notes from their catalogues of old red British Telecom (BT) pay phone boxes which are lined up on display in their hundreds before the actual sale starts. The 'lots' are squeezed together along pathways allowing customers to thoroughly inspect their potential purchases' details. This is a wide-angle picture taken on the slant with the distant boxes curling around to the left. One man in blue who has opened the stiff-opening door, cranes his neck to look up into the ceiling of these solid cast-iron frames. The K-series kiosks were largely designed in 1936 by the iconic designer Giles Gilbert Scott.

  • A mannequin of Santa Claus peers between Sale signs in garden retail centre in north Somerset, England. The inflated model is squeezed between the two red signs that tell shoppers to this rural shop to Enjoy the Good Life and that a Christmas sale is in force, the day after Boxing Day, the 27th December. Sale reductions and the lowering of prices are the lure for customers who need to beat the raising by the British Government of VAT (Value Added Tax) from 17.5 to 20% the following week - 4th January. Bargains will be offered at the old VAT rate making this the most popular of the holiday period to save during economic hardship.
