Thursday 31st August - Victoria
I love model villages. I love The Borrowers (books, not film). I loved “Miniature World”.
Kitsch? Maybe.
Sinister? Absolutely.
A skewed, anachronistic interpretation of history & geography? Well, duh.
Come on though, if you were going to spend months of your life painstakingly recreating scenes from (for instance) WWII in tiny detail you’d think you’d earned the right to chose which heroes to focus on, wouldn’t you?
D’you know, they didn’t even have a gift shop.
Later, got lost in a park.
Later still...
