Last week a little bit of Japan came to the Lake District and we were re-united with our friends from Toge at Grizedale. They had a busy week - from working on the developing Grizedale farm to collecting mountain vegetables and running a cafe in Coniston ... more of which on the Grizedale blog.
Karen and I were able to show them the (almost) complete version of the Toge house which we've collaborated on with a sculptor from Lilliput Lane. Not only were the villagers pleased to see the model, it turns out that a group of the women there are planning to manufacture them and sell houses as Toge souvenir products. Karen took them to the Lilliput factory for a visit and apparently they took such detailed notes the guide must have thought we were all mad.
