Mini Swan
Keeping busy during lockdown

The miniature replica, built using a 1:12 scale, was decorated using the same paints as the real Swan pub
The model will sit on display for customers to view when Covid lockdown measures are eased, Mrs Sayers says.
It turned into a family project, with her husband helping with the structure and her children helping with the painting.
She said: “We spent the first part of lockdown building a new outside area with decking and heaters to be ready for Christmas, and then to not be open for Christmas was a bit disappointing.
“I needed something to do. We’re used to working long hours, not sitting and watching TV, so the idea came into my head and it wouldn’t go away,” she said.
“I already had the paint. I also took fabric from the underside of the bench seating from the real pub, an off-cut of the real bar floor, real dog biscuits – just to make it look like the actual pub.”
It’s a distraction and a project to keep my mind busy.
