It was so dark this morning that I was almost tempted to put the lights on in the living room. It remains very gloomy although the winds have dropped for the first time in days.
They say it might brighten up at the weekend, I hope they are correct.
As you know, Becky and family visited Legoland last week and I promised to share some pictures with you. It has been a very hard choice out of a large selection but I have picked some I hope you will enjoy. It is amazing to think these structures are built out of those little blocks and of the talent that goes into creating these set pieces.
I hope you have enjoyed this little tour. My thanks to the family for providing these photographs. Of course there were others, this is just a taste of what there is to see. An amazing place. Who would have thought that childrens' building blocks would lead on to something like this? Wonderful!
Well, Mike is going to make a start on painting the lounge probably tomorrow and the computer will have to be covered and I will have to find something else to do!
Hope your week has been going well.
Love,

That is amazing. The animals look so real. I don't think we've anything like that around here. At least I've never heard of it. Of course my children all played with Legos. The boys look like they had a grand time for sure! It is dark and gloomy here today. I hope the sun comes out later on. 'On Ya' - ma
That is amazing what they have done. It took a lot o talent to get that figured out and set up. Thanks for sharing. good luck to Mike on his painting. Helen
Lovely photos Jeannette, thanks for posting them. It's been about 6 years since we last went to Legoland and seeing your pictures reminds me that we need to go again, we love it there, as well as the children! Hope all goes well with the painting, I'm sure Mike will make a grand job of it! How about catching up with some reading while the computer is covered up?!

Oh I must admit that I have always had a secret passion for Lego blocks...when my youngest son had his collection of them I used to love to build with him, never knowing what we would build. The boys look like they had a ball, such an interesting place. I cannot imagine how long it took for some of those pieces to be created...just gorgeous. Thanks for giving us a glimpse....love, Sandi
Oh yes I remember lego bricks they are the things that went up the hoover pipe on boxing day heehee ,seriously though it is an amazing place to visit I would think ,I have never been so do apreciate your lovely pictures,I loved seeing the boys in Thomas ,wonderful ,no wonder they had such alot to tell you when they came to visit you ..love Jan xx

Legoland is southern California is amazing! Looks like the one in the U.K. meets or beats ours here in the U.S. I bet the boys had a blast. Thanks for sharing their pictures. Linda in WA
Hi Jeanette:) Really enjoyed the pictures. Hope you get the room finished soon so you can get back online. Wishing you much better weather :)............alice
((((((((((((((((((((HUGSTOYOU))))))))))))))))))))That is amazing,I love all of the pic.Like you said,it must of taken some very talanted people to do the art work.My Brother in London just went there not to long ago.
WOW....AMAZING!!! I have only seen the Lego place in Disney World, and I thought that was something.....it is nothing compared to this, HOLY COW!!!! I can't even fathom the patience it must take to work on something like that....simply incredible!
Pooh Hugs,
Linda
Those creations were great!

This is so cool. I can't wait for Mark to see this entry

What great photos Jeannette, when we went there just after Roman`s birthday it was really hot, (one of the only days of this year!) very crowded and we didn`t enjoy ourselves very much at all. We didn`t see half of the things in your photos so perhaps we`ll go back on a cooler and less busy day so we can really have a good look around, Roman would have loved Thomas as you know. I hope the weather cheers up too, you`d think we`d completely skipped Summer and gone straight into October....sigh.
Love Sandra xxxx
Congrats on being selected as one of the Editor's Picks!

Hi Jeannette Ü,
First I want to say congratulations on being a guest editor's pick this week!!!
I loved the photos that were taken at Legoland! They are so amazing! Wow Lego's has come a long way Ü.
Have a wonderful weekend Ü.
HUGS~Donna
We have Legoland here, too. But, I must say it doesn't have a model of crowns or Buckingham Palace. LOVED seeing that! I'm glad the boys had such a wonderful time.
Hugs Pam
I love the cats, but those buildings, Mount Rushmore, London Bridge, it's amazing that someone had not only the talent, but the patience, too.
