I have had a love of LEGO© for a very long time and unfortunately (for my wife), it has resurfaced in my adulthood. But it's all a bit of fun so what does it matter :)
My brother and sister also had LEGO© but it was mostly Space and Town. I had several Castle sets but there were always others that I wanted and I loved lusting after the sets in the brochures or stores. LEGO© absorbed many hours where I'd escape into another world. I'm sure the mess annoyed my parents but at least they knew I wasn't running amock on the streets.
During my teens I started reading a fantasy series called Lone Wolf and I always wanted to build the Kai Monastery but I never had enough pices. Times have changed and that's one task I want to attempt. Another is to build a castle that's featured in Knights and Castles, a book I read many times while I was at school. Last year I managed to track down Usborne Time Traveller which is an omnibus of the four books including Knights and Castles.
So, over the last little while I have been acquiring sets that I never owned plus ones that are in better condition than the sets I do.
I guess we'll see where this ends.
Anyway, enough of me...
Brick on!
