For almost as long as I have enjoyed drawing, I've loved playing with Lego. (Note to my American friends: it is LEGO, not LEGOS.) Each of my brothers have their own treasured collection - and they are very careful not to get any of the pieces mixed up!

I stopped adding to my collection a number of years ago, but I still get a thrill from fiddling with the bricks and building new creations.

The weather has been wet, cold and bleak all week - not great for a house full of energetic boys during the school holidays, but perfect for playing with Lego. I'm pretty sure I heard the unmistakeable sound of thousands of tiny pieces being tipped out across the floor this morning.

It is very tempting to spend the day inside surrounded by Lego, letting my imagination run wild amongst the colourful bricks. But, no... there are commitments that must be met, so I will have to resist. Instead of actually playing, I will content myself with admiring creations from other Lego enthusiasts on the Brothers Brick website, who seem to have a little more time on their hands.
