Oh Al I do love this place.Don't you wish you were teeny tiny so you could just walk all over there & maybe live in that castle on the lake?Is this nearby your home? I think if it was I would go visit it all the time. Well... I am still waiting for some authentic Aussie Pie recipes!!!(hint-hint) It's turning autumn up here so I am ready to start baking again.Made a pumpkin pie yesterday & it's so delicious too.Maybe I'll mail you a piece of it? Be Good Mate....Love Ya too...Kathryn

Hi Al...this is just so amazing. It must be something to be there and see these for real. And you did a great job in showing both views...those where they look like full size, and those that show it to scale. Thanks! - hugs, claudia

Hi Al, Thank you for your nice comments in my new album under "sharwils". This is such a charming and wonderful, fairyland. So cute and pretty, with your wonderful pics. I have 33 favorites, but narrowed that down to one, with request that you enter in your new favorites album. # 5, so pretty and a super pic. Another of your great albums. Your pal, Sharon

Hi Al Came back here because it's one of my favourite albums. Jay loves it too. He wants to make a castle just like the one in here. You asked about the PJs. Jay thinks if he doesn't get dressed he won't have to go to Preschool. Not his favourite place. So he avoids me all day so he won't have to change. Love and Hugs Chris Charlie and Jay

Hello Mr. Sun, this time I come to see the interesting miniature shined brilliant by Mr. Sun! So you must be the giant who took all these wonderful mini pictures. I also noticed the funny little car in the last photo. Hmmmmm, the funny little car ... too small for the giants, but too big for the minis! Congratulations for your broadband service. and thank you very much for your first glimpse of my B&W photos! Wishing a good broadband service for you, hehehe! CS :)

Hi Al :-) My favorites in this album is # 0029, and # 0036 Love that castle in the middle of water makes me day dreaming to have a place like that hehehe. I almost forget to leave message, your beautiful pictures keeping me busy browsing. Good luck ~*Mary*~

Dear Al, this is very lovely!!! It reminds me of a similar garden I visited in Holland. If the humans are not around, one might believe to be in Fairyland! I love No.13, the castle looks perfect.I've just seen that Laura, below, has chosen the same. Best wishes from Gabriela

Hi Al! My favorite is #1 in this album. I would be honored if you would put it in your Favorites 2 album! Thanks for sharing my friend....Darlene

This album is so delightful, what a wonderful place to visit!! My favorite is #13 I love castles (even mini ones) and always wanted to see one in person. Maybe my day will come. Laura

Hi Al This is great the colours are unbelievable. Really enjoyable place I'm going to get a couple of screensavers from this one. Chris Charlie and Jay

Hi Al,thank-you very much for the nice comments in my guestbook and moreso for the lead to this wonderful album,as you know,I live near to the real Cockington village and spend a lot of time there with my camera. The second image,17,is the one that's an exact replica of the heart of the village,absolutely wonderful that this should exist so far away from the real village,I am sure many of the locals in the village would love to see this place or at least some photos of it. Wonderful quality images and a pleasure to view,thanks again,I;ll be back to view more of your work,Regards,Rod.

Hi Al, Just looking for the three favs you require.Came across this beautiful place. As always beautifully done. certainly got the Al touch about it. e_mail on the way. till then my polite title, Ken from England

said hircock100 2005.04.28 at 22:36:50 PDT

Hiya Al. I really thought you would have had a few more comments on this album because for my money it is one of the best. This is the third time I've been back for a butchers and I really enjoy it. Thanks for your entry today in my Blooming Garden guest book and thats a great idea about a diving board for the birds. Hey, wouldn't that be something!!! LOL Mind how you go. Peter in WA

said georgieboy98 2005.04.14 at 03:21:07 PDT

Hi Al, This album is WOW! What a beautiful place and you certainly did it justice with your camera and talent! Thank you for sharing this beautiful album and Cockington Green with me, Candy

said canary1976 2005.03.31 at 17:50:04 PST

Just a quick cheerio to thank you for your entry in my Queensland guest book Al. Those pics were all taken back in the 1980's on my Yashika film camera. In those days we would make a roll of film last a couple of weeks or more!! LOL Bit different now eh? I'm glad to see the support you've had for this album because Cockington Green is a place we have fond memories for. There is actually a very picturesque village in Devon, England called Cockington (see chrisrod100 albums) and a wonderful model village nearby. Both Gladys and I have got albums in WS on the Miniature Village over here that is based on Cockington. Tooroo Peter

Hi Al - what a fun place! I am going to invite my nephew to see this - he's a civil engineer who loves trains and Australia, and he'd really enjoy this. I knew even before I saw your guestbook entry that you'd visited Weezie because when I turned on my computer your picture popped up on my screen as her newest album entry! (She's listed in my favorites list). I see she has visited here already and invited you personally too! Isn't webshots fun? Warm regards from California, Beth

Hi Al. Pleased to view this colourful album of the beautiful gardens and miniature village at Cockington Green. When I visited Abingdon Miniature Village, the owners said they had seen Cockington and that gave them the inspiration. My photos of Abingdon Miniature Villiage are under gladysclancy. Thanks for sharing as it is interesting to view Cockington too. Best wishes.. Gladys.

Hi Al! I've just enjoyed the slideshow of this beautiful garden. My favorite photos are of the miniature castles, but all the photos are so colorful. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous place. Sharon

said weezie5501 2005.01.31 at 13:31:38 PST

This is a nice album and I spent a long time going through it. There's a place here in WA that is based on this and I have put some pics in WS - called, if I remember right, Miniature Village or something similar anyway. Hey, I really enjoy your albums - when are you going to add some more and keep the good old Aussie flag flying? Peter in Western Australia

said georgieboy98 2005.01.31 at 02:57:13 PST

The gardens are beautiful, the house...well...these types places always makes me think of Germany...Just love the colors in # 20, and 22...is this a miniature garden's?
