Taken earlier today, the metropolis of London seen from 80 metres above Blackheath's Easter Funfair on the Skyfall Gyrodrop Tower.

At 219 metres, the Crystal Palace TV transmitter is one of London's tallest landmarks which can be seeing from various locations around the city from Epsom Downs, Alexandra Palace to the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge. It has been amusingly mistaken for, of all things, the Eiffel Tower!!

My first ever self-built fairground model "Kaleidoscope" turns 20 years old this year. A couple of photos from the manufacturing process back in 2006 and a photo of it taken on exhibition last year.

So I was on my way to Leeds United Football Club for the last model exhibition supporting the Valentine's Fair in February 2019. This happened while on the M25 approaching Junction 13 for Staines! The engine of the double-decker exploded, the vehicle was subsequently destroyed by the fire.

Since a youngster I've always had an interest with tall structures, when travelling around I find them very handy to help you know your bearings. The Emley Moor TV tower in West Yorkshire is no exception which stands out for many miles and is the tallest free standing structure in Britain. It was 336m high when this photo was taken (2016) since has been reduced to 319m after recent remodelling for digital TV.

It was four years ago in February when Storm Eunice caused havoc in the South of England. Several half-term events were postponed including a brand new Valentines Fair in Bordon which sadly hasn't been repeated since 2024 due to the loss of the venue.

Today. the towering Xentox model ride was fully built-up & tested. Ready to go for its first appearance at the Annual Modellers Exhibition at The Grange Community and Leisure Centre in Midhurst next Sunday 8th February.

Some of you may have noticed no post this morning. Yesterday's was the last of the scheduled initial posts to get this new page up & running. Don't worry there will be plenty of content to come from the past, the present and in the future.

I am long overdue a trip overseas. These photos were from a day trip back in 2011 via Eurostar to Brussels from the Giant Observation Wheel at Foire du Midi the annual Summer fair held near the Eurostar station. More from my European adventures to come.

25/01/2026

Keeping with the 2016 theme, my family went on a random day out in the Summer that year to Shaftsbury. Nice town in pleasant surrounding, the strange thing was that we went around the shops and only bought in all places - Tesco! 😂

24/01/2026

I'm not the type who will jump onto current trends on social media but today I will make this an exception. It was 10 years ago that I first showed my "Mysteria" fairground model side show at Churchdown Funfair Extravaganza. The show takes place today now known as Staverton Funfair Model Show having moved to Dowty Sports & Social Club, GL2 9QH for last year.
