WHAT THE DICKENS!

Thought I would try to be topical today so here's my effort to give a Dickensian take on a photograph, The Shambles in Ripon, not sure if I've managed the effect but hey-ho one tries.

"Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."
-Charles Dickens

And finally
Charles Dickens walks into a bar

Charles Dickens: Please, sir, I'd like a martini.
Bartender: Sure thing. Olive or twist?
