awmperrySo Mamma and I were tidying up, and found a big box of my old Lego. We looked inside and found that there was a great mess within, so we decided to consolidate things a bit.
So we started going through all the Lego, sorting it, reducing the total volume by around 40%. We managed to get it all packed down, categorised, and packaged away in a matter of minutes.
...or at least that was the plan.
Well, what could I do? There I was, with a big box full of little plastic bricks. So I did what any self-respecting, red-blooded male would do.
I built a fire engine.
All right, so it's a bit crap, but come on - it's got blue lights! And a fire hose! And railings! And things!
