    I'm glad I've found your blog! These photo's are very informative - what fab jobs you're getting. Your Buckingham Palace "set" reminds me of my father who used to make beautiful model farms for the Agriculture Department's stand at our local agricultural show in Kenya (about 50 years ago!) he had neither the resources or education to be an "artist", having left school at 14 and trained as a land surveyor at 16 on anextension of the railway line to Uganda
