Lego house 17th July

-
We had the morning off just sitting in the sun.

P did some work editing an article for the Then and Now History magazine but otherwise we enjoyed doing nothing.




Then we spent the afternoon at Lego House, it has lots of premade enormous lego and lots of interactive activities where you do lego related things


enormous tree with thousands of pieces



we made ourselves from lego ( I still have mine and the little Claire P left his there he managed to find a grumpy face..)




made a movie ( Perry is at the back being knocked over by a skateboarder good luck if you can see that and claire and I go down to pick up his hat the leave in a flying saucer) . Might be better to mute it and stop when the credits start.

Took us 20 minutes of moving the little people bit by bit and filming it for 20 seconds of film




Made a fish that is scanned then released into a fish tank ( virtual)

make a model with a motor that drove around on a wire




made a building
a race car and won a race 
and admired the incredible lego creations.









More lego photos






At each stage you scanned your wristband then put your creation in a photobooth and when I got home I could download them all.
Was never too busy so we could have a go at everything.

  In NZ it is the 19th August so happy birthday dad. We cycled to Mont st Michel this morning but the tide was still out so didnt take any more photos. 10km cycle ride later we filled the van with water and headed away.  We are now in Bouzouges in a really nice spot with plants all around and only 3 of us here. We went for a walk about the town classes as a Petite ville de France  which I guess means its a cute little village , and it is. We went to the information centre and a really helpful chap gave us guides for Brittany ( where are there now ) and a walking tour of the town. Which we did.   amazing amount of public planting  a rather nice painting putting all the oldest houses in the same street, there are tomatoes and aubergines growing in the garden rather odd things hanging on the side of the church quite an arty town the tour book said these are death masks of men executed in the town an interesting use of old drink bottles, each one has a plant in...

Hi all We are now ready to move. we had planned to settle here and buy a house but have now decided to retire in NZ in a couple of year but before then to do a lot more travel. On our last trip our car blew a head gasket on the autostrada in Italy and we had to scrap it over there, we have had no vehicle for 10 months but really haven't missed it. we commute on the train to work. and take a taxi home from the station if it rains. We have looked at a car staying in hotels, or using our tent or buying a campervan or a motorhome. We looked at every option and went to two camper/motorhome shows. what we  found was that P is too tall to see out the windscreen and too long for the beds...... Until we came across the Hymer, the bed is always made up and drops down from above the drivers seats and the view from the windscreen is panoramic. It looks big but is only 6m long so the same as a long wheel base van and doesn't add extra cost for ferries and the chunnel. It had th...
