Black Gang Chine was a magical place, but I suspect much of it has fallen into the sea now....<BR/><BR/>I really think that you should try and find a copy of the Enid Blyton book as suggested by Tim - I'm sure BB would love it....<BR/><BR/>Good luck on Niki Fretwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453900065526512512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148847397634324094.post-39808518029327394062008-10-20T11:26:00.000+02:002008-10-20T11:26:00.000+02:00Hello.

Hurrah!<BR/><BR/>So pleased that you enjoyed Merrivale Model Village in Gt Yarmouth too. Did you know that Enid Blyton wrote a book called the Enchanted Village, about two children exploring the magical world of Bekonscot?

I have amassed a little bit of gnomiana(?!) recently and just last week, spotted a toadstool money box which I hitherto thought I couldn't justify...

My favourite books were the Enid Blyton's 'folk of the far away tree'. I also used to love the woods near my home which had hollows and hiding places under roots. Do you remember poggles wood on television??
