Bekonscot Model Village & Railway UK 2019, The world's oldest Model Village
The world's oldest model village, with over 80 years' of history.
While down in Beaconsfield we had a look at the Bekonscot Model Village which i've seen before on the tv, but it's much more impressive in real life and well worth a visit if your in the area.

HD Isle of Wight Steam Railway 12th June 2019 & St Helen's Beach
Video of my trip to the Isle of Wight stayed at Nodes Point Holiday park in a caravan, also went to Quarr Abbey, Ryde Pier where I saw the Tube Trains and the Bus and Coach Museum.
The Isle of Wight Steam Railway is a heritage railway on the Isle of Wight. The railway passes through 5 1⁄2 miles (9 km) of countryside from Smallbrook Junction to Wootton station, passing through the small village of Havenstreet, where the line has a station, headquarters and a depot. At Smallbrook Junction, the steam railway connects with the Island Line run by Tube Trains.
The railway is owned and operated by the Isle of Wight Railway Co. Ltd. and run largely by volunteers. Services are operated on most days from June to September, together with selected days in April, May, and October and public holidays. The railway is popular with tourists, attracting people to its original steam locomotive and railway cafe. Over each August Bank Holiday weekend, the railway organises the Island Steam Show, which combines an intensive service on the railway with displays of various sorts of steam power including traction engines and steam fair equipment, together with other attractions that vary year by year. For events like steam galas and Day out with Thomas events, engines from the mainland have to be brought in by boat and then transferred to Havenstreet.
HD George Jennings' Model Funfair, Jeyes Chemist, Dolly Lodge, Earls Barton, with Hornby Thomas!
Take a stroll through Jeyes Jetty and up the stairs where you will find the collection of fascinating museums and exhibitions. They are not your ordinary museum and aim to offer something different and interesting for all the family to enjoy.
There is a stair lift available to access upstairs and all exhibitions are free entry so please come along and explore at Jeyes.
You’ll love the friendly atmosphere, imaginative and innovative exhibitions and a welcoming smile from Rupert Bear!
George Jennings had put this model funfair together for over a 20 year period. Many of the items were handmade. It cost George over £5000 to create but he has now sold it. It was featured on BBC Look East and About Anglia. It can now be seen by the public at The Dolly Lodge in Earls Barton.
George Jennings, 83, began building his model funfair 20 years ago as a hobby after he retired. The fair soon became his obsession and he has spent years painstakingly hand-painting , developing and expanding the fun fair as you see here today.
The funfair includes a carousel, ferris wheel, cake walk, octopuses, waltzers, a barrel organ, a circus tent, a model village and much more. The rides are fitted with miniature lights, powered motors and even tiny passengers enjoying the rides to the sound of traditional fairground music. Each ride measures on average 18 inches high and 24 inches across. The model funfair is on a 1:24 scale with a full sized fair.
With George’s planned move to the coast his beloved funfair needed to find a new home. David and Georgina Jeyes didn’t hesitate – within hours of seeing the funfair featured on Look East they visited George and his famous fair they knew it belonged on display in their shop for everyone to enjoy.
The Jeyes family moved the funfair in with Rupert Bear and have named it Nutwood Fair after Rupert and his famous adventures! You really have to let your imagination run wild with the rides and reminisce with friends of all those childhood memories
“Life is a rollercoaster…..so hold on tight!”
There is also a number of Hornby Thomas the Tank Engine and friends items and a Hornby Thomas, Emily and Old Slow Coach on the layout.

UFO's in the sky? over the Isle of Wight
It turns out they are millions of flying ants.
Despite the rain, one of the British summer's greatest spectacles has arrived: the emergence of flying ants. The Society of Biology has received over a thousand reports of flying ants, and is calling for people to report sightings of ant mating flights.

The Auction of a 'Pelham Puppet' Tortoise, Bamfords Derby, February 2016
This short video documents the auctioning of an alleged 'Pelham Puppet' Tortoise at Bamfords auction rooms in Derby in February 2016. This was the third and final auction of three of the entire Pelham Puppet collection of Kay Casey; the largest collection of Pelham Puppets ever known. It has since come to light that this 'mega rare' Pelham Puppet Tortoise is in fact a fake and that an original (of which there are only a handful out there), looks quite different. The auctioneer was BBC Flog It's James Lewis, who owns Bamfords at Derby.
Filmed covertly on my iPhone 6 on 3rd February 2016.
