There are some clever creative people around .. this is an amazing piece of work

As you probably can all remember a lovely couple from Australia are making a train set featuring different parts of the world including Brixham and a mini ‘DillyDally Tearoom’

Well a few weeks ago we had this arrive in the post, our very own model of our Tearoom (Sorry for the delay in posting this, we have been waiting for a display case to put it in so it doesn’t get damaged)

Thank you Patsy, it’s absolutely amazing 😍
