A most bizarre thing

If someone said to you that in a country half way around the world from your country, someone had made scale replicas of some of the buildings in the town you had been to school for seven years, would you believe it?

We hired a car for a few days away from Perth in the South Western part of Western Australia. An hour’s drive south of Perth we found the miniature Abingdon village, an attractive garden which contained scale replicas of four buildings from Abingdon, the town where I had been to school for seven years. It is not immediately clear why the landscapers had chosen Abingdon as their template, but chosen it they had, so the three of us had to take a look.

We actually spent far longer there than we had anticipated. Not only were the gardens the perfect place for a picnic, but they also had a mini golf course which we had to test out. (They also had a miniature golf course, but we couldn’t play on that one.)

Bloody hell you went, I saw that but managed to avoid going. As you say though, very very odd
