Field Studio Days 2

My favourite cafe in Cumberland is a little shack that's half encased in glass, flanked by two patio gardens. Drawn after closing.

I returned two mornings later to experience for myself how it feels to sit inside this magnificent little shrine. The floor reveals the potential mobile nature of this cafe -it is built on a wooden crate; the glass sliding doors (there are no "windows"per se, only floor to ceiling glass doors) are obvious later adaptations to enclose the immediate area where a customer would order a drink. To access her chalk board menu in this front enclosure, the barista had to exit from the back of the shack then walk around the shack and enter through the sliding door like everyone else. While I sipped a green tea latte and ate my sweet bakery goods, groups of people entered and exited. This business is keeping busy.
