This is amazing Seaok. Love all the interesting features and it really tells a story. The figures are all so occupied and those foreground tiles are perfect.

A wonderful piece of nostalgia beautifully painted seok. Is that Swiss roll and Victoria sponge I see in the cabinet?!

Thanks so very much, Fred! And Fiona, yes, all the traditional British goodies crammed in this wonderful bakery. Very nostalgic for me, as they were straight out of my childhood in Singapore as well.

Great story,and lots of interesting detail for my eyes to take in.

Thank you for sharing your memories Seok. I have the same kind of feeling when I step through the door of a Herbalist shop. My dad would take me in to the Apothecary when I was a child and he would fill a paper bag with coltsfoot sticks, twisted barleysugar canes, liquorice root, locust beans and all kinds of goodies! Still can’t resist filling a paper bag…….

Posted by Fiona Phipps on Thu 17 Jun 19:37:47

That is so good, Seok

Posted by Maureen Sherman on Fri 18 Jun 11:38:45
