A Nod To Brent - a friendly thread, filled with frivolity, cream teas and pasties. Longing for the happy days in the South Hams 1947.

I think we did Edward II for A Level - 1966! - but I know zilch about Edward III.

Number three Edward did declare himself King of France at one point but withdrew the claim at a peace treaty. He did seem to like having a punch up in France, I do hope you are not the same.

Well, at 70 I am not much of a fighter, if I ever was, but some of the antics of the paysans hereabouts do take us back a century or two...

A few leftovers of 6022 King Edward Third.

For anyone looking for a seaside retreat in sunny Teignmouth, a beach shed is up for auction next month according to the local news at a guide price of between £200 & £300 grand! Railway views not included.

You're not allowed to sleep in the thing either for that money.

Teddy Three and the Leftovers - great name for a 'popular beat combo'!

I prefer Peppa Pig and The Canopy Nudger's myself.

In case anyone fancies a long shot, Accurascale have a wish list going in which you can ask for what ever you would like.   A good opportunity to ask a different manufacturer for some Toplights

Yes, about the size of a garage.

Or a multi-occupancy dwelling if you're in London.

You'd probably manage 20 or so.

Are the locals selling up before Network Rail starts work to eliminate the beaches?

This is what you get for your £200k guide price at Teignmouth. Here's my repainted Hornby sheds for comparison.

Yours look better value, Rob, but might not survive rough weather!

 

That price is silly. Sherry and ex bought a detached house w 4 beds and views to Dartmoor not so long ago in Maidencombe, a smart village not far along the road to Torquay, for only just over twice that price. And Sherry's flat in Babbacombe, two beds, 5' from the cliff views, overlooking a park, Edwardian Italianate but the whole block modernised in 2005 so all you need, was less than £150k.

That's certainly a lot swisher that the average beach hut as I remember them.

Some nice looking Goddard GWR coaches on Vectis Auctions site page 19 onwards for a few pages. (Few kit built loco's too).

More cute little engines, please.

I like the description of the 'Tadpole' as an open engineers wagon!

 

 

[gwrrob]

A bit of cuteness on a lazy summer afternoon.

Ahhhh….so peaceful.

 

So peaceful in fact you can hear the birds tweaking and wind rustling in the trees.
