Sylvia and I had a great visit, on a lovely autumn day, with the Invincibles from Wellington Health and Fitness Club. It was lovely to wander among the interesting buildings and take a sneak peak (from behind the rope) at preparations for The Repair Shop Christmas filming.
Over 50 historic buildings from across the Weald and Downland area of Sussex, Hampshire, Surrey and Kent have been dismantled and then reconstructed across a lovely 40-acre site in the South Downs national park. The collection of buildings represents almost a thousand years of rural life in south-east England: furnished just as they would have been in the past - complete with roaring fires - the homes, farms and public buildings. There's a sense of exploring a real village as you stroll between them along green paths.
So nice to see all these beautiful buildings restored authentically and realise how lucky we are today with double glazing, central heating, toilets etc., etc.
