BGU Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Trying to book our holidays on the Farm Stay site! Managed to persuade MRS BGU to book one on a farm at South Molton, North Devon! Anyone near there? Or any good model shops near there? The other is on the harbour front at Whitby!! A compromise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone near there? Or any good model shops near there? The other is on the harbour front at Whitby!! A compromise! well in Whitby there's a die-cast shop on the n.side (with some UH and 2nd hand corgi & Ertl bits), a "Toymaster" with small selection in the centre and a small corner shop with 2nd-bits of toys (inc. some farm bits) in the mkt square - I'll e-mail you with place names. Scarborough 15 miles to the South has 4 farm toys outlets including a 2nd bits shop. Mustn't forget there's the scenery, the pubs, the Moors, the walks etc (especially recommend the NYorks Moors railway !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'm near, good model shops in Barnstaple (about 6 miles away), what's the farm called? Drewstone Farm, South Molton. I try and avoid Barnstaple - Due to the horrendous queues. But will probably go there at some stage. Any tame farmers about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGU Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I've been doing some plumbing! How come the pipes in my house are not 15mm or 22mm? Perhaps it's because it's so old and I'm a numpty to think it would be that easy. Several trips to Plumb Centre later we have water again!!
