Bravo!
I think it's strange over here that "distance" is used as an excuse for less
frequent gatherings. Although, having experienced some of the most
diabolical traffic jams you could ever imagine (think of the volume of
traffic on the M4 in Sydney funnelled down one lane) I can begin to
understand their hesitation. Still, the devotion to the mighty brick knows
no bounds!

My chin still hurts from when it hit the ground! Totally fantastic I must
say. My purist blood is slowly diluting, but it'll be a while before I
purchase *that* brand, as I want to exhaust all LEGO avenues first. Richard
has certainly opened my eyes to the possibilities, though.

I fear it will be later rather than sooner. With the way things are going
over here (the British notwithstanding) we're having a blast and doing lots
of travel. Work for both of us is going ballistic too. But in the words of
Big Arnie, we'll be back.
The collection is growing, thanks to some recent sales, and I'm penning out
some details of a couple of projects I have in mind. One day I'll get around
to updating my website and posting some pics of Legoland Windsor. Kris is
taking me to Billund in March for my birthday too!! So the digicam will be
smoking after that little adventure.
