Jan Williams and Chris Teasdale are on a mission to record the ordinary and extraordinary details of leisure, landscape and lifestyle in 21st-century Britain. With a wry eye to the humour of their subjects, their book covers locations from across the British Isles in themed sections exploring such aspects of Britishness as gardening (not least the ubiquitous dead conifer that has almost become their logo), shop fronts, seaside resorts and our national love of dogs. The appeal of the photos in the book is the familiarity of their subject matter and their celebration of overlooked detail, revealing the reality -- and surreality -- of contemporary Britain. Over the past five years they have exhibited the photographs around the country in a 1969 mustard-coloured caravan - The Caravan Gallery - and the photos are accompanied by quotes from the gallery's visitor book.
