Thanks Richard and family for your hospitality last weekend and hosting a LEGO
day and Brikwars game. My son Lachlan and I enjoyed the company and "playing"
very much - probably because we were on the winning side - the French! It was
great to see patience and acceptance of young people and newbies like myself by
more experienced Legophiles.
The address for olive or khaki bricks from Hong Kong for those who were
interested is http://hklink.no-ip.com/lego/ Ricky was very helpful. Just the
thing for a WWII Brickwars game. As if there aren't enough colours already.
I will post a date for a LEGO get-together/Brikwars day at Maraylya soon. It
will be nice to return the hospitality and (hopefully) win a battle on
"homeground".
Robb McGowen and Marshall Lachlan
