The Conservatory


 This is a lovely conservatory which was ready made, ex-display stock, It was half price and I didn't have to make it up, excellent!  So I decided to have Agnes entertaining Arthur with a game of  Chess  and after noon tea.

Model Village

When Chris was younger, he had a paper round, and decided to make a model village lay out, and he started buying little bits and pieces, in N Gauge.  I found his box in the loft with some track and an engine, and all the buildings he had made up.  and I thought oh goodie a model village for my dollies it is a perfect size.  Unfortunately, now that I have my own small "dolly room" I am not using the larger bookcases on the stairs, and my displays are on a narrow bookcase in my room, so I don't have a lot of room for it.  However as Kevin love's his railways I am hoping that he will help me make it and we could then transfer it to the larger bookcase on the stairs.  I do have more vehicles to put on as Kev picks up small vehicles at boot sales.  I haven't finished rummaging yet in Chris's box so hopefully there are other items I can use.  Kev also has model railway bits from his younger days, so his box will be next, but most of his are 00 gauge.  

Marcia is enjoying herself playing with a little car.  "How do they make the people small enough to fit in" she wonders.




The Children are out for the day in the model village.  Pam is wondering why they didn't think of this before she has never seen little Lucy so engrossed.

"I wish I had brought my soldiers with me, this would be a great battle ground," thinks John.
