London…there and back again

My brother and his wife moved back to the states after 4 + years in london, next week they will be celebrating their 12th wedding anniversary, I was thinking about what I could print them that would be meaningful to them, their time and be a little quirky, well…what better way than a print about a fish&chips joint just down the street from their old home that we frequented many times! See below… and hush! they won't get it until next week…hmm, now to sign it and frame it…enjoy!
