The farmer with a twinkle in his eye

            Black and white edit of a street portrait

This character with a cheeky twinkle in his eye was manning a stall selling wild game at the Farmers Market in Bath, Somerset. 

He told me his name is Ted, that he was 82 years young, and he joked that I was taking pics of him for News of the World (for those who don't know, a sleazy tabloid). Sorry, Ted! Not this time.
