It's A Big Small World



Panorama.

The Village Green and Church.
Merritown Shopping Centre.

Indoor Model Railway.


We've my friend Dolly Dolly to thank for this deluxe Great Yarmouth Model Village bumper bonanza, as he was kind enough to send me these treasures a while back. As you will recall, the village is called Merivale, one of the great Modernist evocations of the land of lost content (second only to the Festival of Britain's imaginary town of 'Avoncaster') and is, as you can see, a work of absolute genius. As it says in the souvenir and mini-guide:

'All in all, nothing has been omitted from this Lilliputian land of make believe; it is the most authentic and realistic of models which delights young and old alike'.

I wish I were there now, and three inches tall.

My thanks to my pal and Mounds & Circles collaborator, Dolly Dolly, for our tasty new header. Isn't it ooh, isn't it ah, isn't it absolutely...phwoar. Cheers, Dave!

Vampire Coquette


Martita Hunt keeps us guessing in 'Brides of Dracula' (1960). Thanks to Dolly Dolly for the Gif(t).

Incidentally, I've had some quibbly fiddly issue with Blogger which means that I haven't been able to respond to any of your comments of late, so I just thought I'd let you know I'm not ignoring you and I do appreciate what you have to say, honest.

If you have any questions about anything, or just want to get in touch please do so via my e-mail address: unmann-wittering@talktalk.net.

Thanks,

Paul
