And some of those things are sooooo collectable now! <BR/>Another wonderful museum is Bygones in St Marychurch, Torquay. I have written a short piece about this for BBC History Magazine (the next issue, I think). It's certainly worth a visit for all those who live close enough to Torquay to make this possible.<BR/>Margaret Powlinggalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772532068403786265.post-41582825752081287422008-07-14T22:30:00.000+01:002008-07-14T22:30:00.000+01:00This museum looks just the sort of place I'd enjoy...This museum looks just the sort of place I'd enjoy, love the kitchen - and I wish I could still listen to the Light Programme - Housewives Choice, Music While You Work, The Navy Lark - all kinds of good programmes.
