Lovely ideas but the village is made, so ideas must fit in ...
I'm going to try and adapt the top lilac with polka dot roof into a church ...
as the Greeks believe, Church's are always as close to God as you can get them and this one has lots of sky to fill.
I might get a pub out of one of the 'vacant' houses ... and a natural pond, maybe in the scrappy land at the bottom of the quilt ....
mmnnn I think its Village life for me today then !!!
