What an odd place!
Kids had a great time, and went round twice and raved about it all the way home.
but WTF? quite bizarre. Did the model makers retire in 1977?

It's brilliant! What I love are the things that make it current like the Olympic Stadium they are "building" while still having the old fashioned shop fronts and buses.

And all the cheesy names like B. Read on the baker's van (I know they are much better than that but I can't think of any others!)

I love model villages, they are always so quaint

The DC loved it but it was like a trip back in time. Did you go on the 3D cinema and get squirted with water?

all very bonkers.
