Fruit and Veg
Timur, (above) has just taken over the very popular fruit and veg shop that has been running for over 30 years. It's a hard job, working 18 hours a day. He gets up at 2am every day except Sunday to go to Spitalfields Market, stacking shelves until 11am. Sometimes he can have a bit of a sleep at the back until 3pm if his wife comes over, otherwise he works right through until 8pm.
I am an award-winning travel writer and member of the British Guild of Travel Writers (http://www.bgtw.org/jane-egginton.html) who has written about destinations around the world for book publishers, online guides and newspapers such as the Guardian and the Sunday Times.
