A ride to the beach.

Today I combined both my love for riding bicycles and my love for Lego.

Mr A. Stormtrooper decided to come with us. (Mrs Stormie was having her hair done so she didn't join us).

Before we set off, Stormie had a bit of work to do. His front wheel had a puncture. But he soon got it sorted.

Then we set off. The first part of the ride was fun; the terrain was a tad tricky on our road bikes, but we all made it.

9miles later and we made it to the beach - just in time for lunchtime pasties.

Stormie was happy to find a Lego MiniFigure sized castle to explore.

Then we watched the boats  (this one looked a little stuck!)

Then we headed home, arriving safely back tired but happy.

A Lego Update

I've neglected this blog for the last few weeks, but don't let that fool you - I've not been neglecting my Lego!

So whats been happening.

Firstly, I completed the Series 3 collection with a number of eBay purchases.

I then completed the Series 6 collection after spending 10 minutes standing in a busy supermarket, under the watchful eye of a security guard, fondling bags until I found the hard-to-find Surgeon and the easy-to-find Lady Liberty.  As well as being happy to complete this collection, I was also really chuffed that despite buying all these in the traditional manner of purchasing them in shops, I actually only ended up with one swapsie for this series; which I very quickly swapped with my Mother, who has recently started her very own collection.

Additionally, I have also had fun dismantling the majority of my Star Wars collection. Don't panic, it's not going anywhere.... we were decorating the dining room and it all needed to be relocated to avoid getting paint on.   As we have only just finished decorating I am still yet to rebuild it all. But I can't wait to get building.

Finally, I have received a couple more of the Series 1 and 2 characters. The Vampire, The Traffic Cop and The Karate Master (series 2) and the Caveman, Forest man and Deep Sea Diver (series 1).
