One of my favourite books, T.V. serials and films is The Railway Children - personally I like the one with Dinah Sheridan as Mum and Jenny Agutter as Bobbie - but that's probably showing my age!
A while ago one of my favourite customers asked me to make her the children and Mother from The Railway Children, in 1/24th scale - what a treat!! Recently she very kindly she sent me a picture of the family in situ, and as you can see she has created a lovely authentic garden and picket fence in front of the cottage, where they can wave at the trains. I love it. She's a talented lady, is Pat!
So, with HUGE thanks to Pat for allowing me to reproduce her photograph ..........
here are The Railway Children.
And now, as they say, for something completely different.........
one of my favourite family of flowers, is the orchid...and this Cymbidium has just opened in my conservatory!
O.K. - this picture is one of self indulgence and has absolutely nothing to do with miniatures!
A kind soul pointed out that finding my website or email address, meant digging through 'About me'...... hopefully both are now more visible and obvious in the right column. Thank you - hope that helps.

Nice to see all is well in Coombe Crafts-ville! My Orchid has just produced a new flower spike... it must have overheard my saying if it didn't flower again it was for the heap :-D
Thank you Railway Children fans .... some commissions are just such fun!

Hi Robin - I'm new to your work and have to say that your characters are wonderful. I'm honoured that you are also following my blog. Best wishes, Allison
Hi Allison - Thank you so much, and welcome aboard! I've only just found your blog, and love it. I come from a craft background, so the 'mixture' on your blog is a joy.
"Daddy.... my daddy...."
That line from the film still brings tears to my eyes.
Lovely dolls Robin.
