Thank you Joe, Ras, Bonnie, Erwin, Gaston, Retronio and George
As the houses were against the wall there didn't seem any point in furnishing them as it was likely the furniture would move when the houses were pushed back against the wall. I just decided that the conservatory should be furnished as that could be seen more.
I wanted to include Gaston's hat stand so thought that having it delivered showed it off well.
I like the way you have used green felt(?) around it,
The green 'felt' in the park is actually from a roll of model grass mat

What was Bonnie's secret?
Bonnie showed how she made the water for her zoo here

As the pathways were painted onto a roll of lining paper and fastened to the board, I was able to stick the grass and the pond to it and able to cut around them to save them when I dismantled the display so I can use them again.
Did the police find the painter's donkey easel? 
Yes, it later turned up in a box, together with the chimney from the green house which had also gone missing
