    Never seen it myself, but know that it is filmed in the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum ......somewhere that every school child in Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex has visited on a school trip.  Its next door to West Dean gardens 👍🏻

    I knew it was filmed there, but I never visited when I lived up  there.

    Apart from the obvious skill and passion of the folk there,  I love all their tools, ( not tittering from you @Fairygirl )

    Its worth a visit @Hostafan1, if you’re up this way with a day to spare.  It has buildings from really primitive right through to a set of 1800’s railway workers cottages.  Fascinating to walk round them in order and see how things changed.  #Amazing 😜

    I think it's one of those things which I ought to have visited , but always put it off. 
    I used to drive past Jane Austen's house 10 times a week but have never set foot inside.

    Nary a titter escaped from any of my orifices @Hostafan1......

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I like the Repair Shop, but I wish they'd edit out most of the "Wow!"s and "amazing!"s.  They get a bit monotonous.
    I don't think reactions on the Repair Shop are generally too bad.  The occasional extreme over-reaction but mostly OK.  If you want gross over reaction, try watching any USA based home makeover programme.

    There can be no political coverage tomorrow.  Thank god for small mercies as I have no doubt it will be back to full BS mode on Friday.
