What a brilliant day out Timothy appears to have had, and I love his jumper!

It's a great place to visit and we too had tea and cakes in the old Co-op after wandering round - you could spend all day there:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-39752675807519009912017-09-20T19:51:12.983+01:002017-09-20T19:51:12.983+01:00Bovey Belle - Thanks so much.

No, I haven't been to St Fagans - only been to Cardiff once when I was in early 20's to watch rugby match!! <br /><br />Haha re: the "Durex" bricks!!! <br /><br />Yes, there were some lovely old buildings there and I do hope you get chance to visit one day - it is definitely worth it :)Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-31251155910491393342017-09-20T19:16:46.642+01:002017-09-20T19:16:46.642+01:00Have you visited our Welsh equivalent at St Fagans...Have you visited our Welsh equivalent at St Fagans, Cardiff? You would love it there too!<br /><br />Lots to interest at this one. All the bricks we have found around here have, ahem!, "Durex" stamped on the back! Obviously a firm which had a change of plan on what they sold . . .<br /><br />I loved that stable, and the Herefordshire cottage, and the windmill, and the . . . well, most of it I think! The nail maker's cottage looks like it will be lovely inside. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing.

As you say you would love it there. So much of interest to see and read about. Hope to return again one day - it is such good news the way they are able to save the buildings.

I like them all and would love a visit here. <br /><br />I like the bricks as well on display, have come across stray bricks on my walk especially when we went to Titus Salt old house in the woods, I wish I had got one (not that you really should) as I would have got the builder to put it in our Conservatory wall. <br /><br />Like the Prefab building and all it's contents, Spire from St Paul's Church, and the tea room looks adorable.<br />Such a wonderful place so glad you went.<br />Amanda xxAmanda Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760505541954557539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8320975515799225099.post-50979949375766067672017-09-20T10:30:23.196+01:002017-09-20T10:30:23.196+01:00What an interesting place to visit, I love looking...What an interesting place to visit, I love looking at things like that! :) Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453290738987000802noreply@blogger.com
