We are over half-way through February now. The one bright spot – Valentine’s Day – is over with now. I got some flowers that day, and as they are Lego ones I’ll be able to enjoy them all month (and … Continue reading
Kiki in Lego

Turns out that I was right to guess that I wouldn’t write anything last week! Who’d have guessed? Stef has returned to the far end of the UK (blow!) so I can’t use her as an excuse this week. I … Continue reading

I was going to say ‘we’re at the end of January’ but I now realise it will be the start of February when this is published. It has probably been a miserable month for a lot of us; cold and … Continue reading

Philip Mannering’s animals – an essential A-Z guide
Philip has a magic way with animals and can tame just about anything to want to live in his pockets. He never keeps anything as banal as a cat or dog, but it would not be unusual to see a … Continue reading

The Castle of Adventure
So this week (and last) I have been reading The Castle of Adventure, or re-reading it I should say. It is one of my favourite Adventure books, probably my third favourite (Circus comes second and Sea comes first). Castle starts … Continue reading
