BABBACOMBE MODEL VILLAGE (part 3).

This is the final part of the Babbacombe model village blog series. This Model village is around 1.5 miles from Torquay town centre in a village attached to Torquay called Babbacombe. The model village is open most of the year only usually shutting in January. Originally we took 268 pictures which I've had to condense to around 30, so as you can imagine it hasn't been an easy job. These last few are to me not quite as good as some of the other ones in snow scenes.During December they have a very good Santa's Grotto with Reindeer and all his helpers.
This first picture could easily be mistaken for real if viewed quickly.
Do please click on any picture to enlarge it.
Below a street scene, showing the busy entrance to the football stadium, note the wind turbines in the distance.

Below, a couple of perhaps Victorian style houses, complete with "ice Cream van".
Perhaps I should apologise at this stage for the length of this blog.
I "sneaked " this picture in from the snow scenes (below) because I just love it, it just has a "nice feel" about it.
Below. another street scene, this was a nice quiet cul-d-sac.
Not such a real feel scene this one.
Anyone loving Dolls houses would be in their element here.
Below, A coach arriving at the Hotel. Typical Road works in the main holiday season.
Model fire station, with some one hanging out of the window.
This BT sattelite dish (below) and station does look very lifelike.
A very narrow entrance to "merryvale Castle", i hope it doesn't get to busy because you have to get out to pay.
A lorry load of "Artefacts" arriving at the Museum, below.
Lastly, no town is complete without its "Disco".
So to conclude, if ever you holiday in Devon then make this a "Place to visit".
Joke of the day.
A couple had been married for 50 years.
They were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when the old gentleman said to his wife, "Just think, honey, we've been married for 50 years."
"Yeah," she replied, "Just think, fifty years ago we were sitting here at this breakfast table together."
"I know," the old man said, "We were probably sitting here naked as jaybirds fifty years ago."
"Well," Granny snickered, "What do you say...should we get naked?"
Where upon the two stripped to the buff and sat down at the table.
"You know, honey," the little old lady breathlessly replied, "My breasts are as hot for you today as they were fifty years ago." ...........

"I wouldn't be at all surprised," replied Gramps............ "One's in your coffee and the other is in your porridge!.
