They certainly are, though it rained pretty well continously while we were
there so by the time the fireworks started all our coats had given up any
pretence at waterproofness. Luckily the rain slowed to a little drizzle so
we could watch the fireworks without having to strain to look over the sea
of umbrellas which had gathered at the top of the hill.

I enjoyed this a lot, I knocked up a 12 stud diameter 3d pumpkin in about
ten minutes which was no mean feat when there were only eight types of brick
available. Two people came up to me and asked if there were instructions
for it!! I got it for 3 quid, pictures will follow.

They were also doing a ghost this time and had plenty of grey for it, plus
enough green for the pumpkin and some black. If I had been alone I would
have spent hours in there!

It was very crowded today too but lots of the attractions were closed due to
the rain. I had fun though. I still have two RLD tickets left so plan to
go at Christmas too. Anyone else?
