EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Once a week, along with the cheese, the bacon and the groceries, " we are transported back to July 7th, 1950. The image showcases an old-fashioned shop in Chilham that transforms into a village library once a week. The quaintness of this scene is truly enchanting. As our eyes wander through the picture, we notice various elements that add to its charm. A beautiful bentwood chair stands proudly near shelves filled with bottles, cheeses, tins, Weetabix boxes, and wheat flakes. The wooden floor beneath them exudes warmth and character. This photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the importance of community spirit during simpler times. It reminds us of how small villages relied on shared resources and spaces for their everyday needs. The absence of any commercial branding allows us to focus solely on the essence of this unique establishment - a place where neighbors gather not only to purchase goods but also to exchange knowledge and stories within the walls adorned with books. "Once a week. . . " serves as both an ode to nostalgia and an invitation for viewers to appreciate the beauty found in unexpected places. It encourages us all to cherish our local communities and embrace opportunities for connection that may lie hidden amidst our daily routines.
