This thread is just a collection of holiday snaps. The place is known as Cockington Green Gardens.

This started out as a quaint English village, with share croppers, a cricket match, a soccer match, oast house, representative houses and shops from different parts of the country.

But the really interesting models are in the new international section. I made myself a guessing game of guessing which country each building model was from – and guessed it wrongly almost always. These are buildings that you don’t see every month on TV or the web.

I’ve never been, so it will be on the bucket list for my next visit to the source of political effluent.

I’m surprised you feel the need to collect additional political effluent, but each to their own.

Flower silos, you mean :)

Oast houses were/are used for drying hops.

OK. :) I’ll accept that.
