It’s a Lego Christmas!

28 October 2009 Ah, me boys

Ugh, I know, three days to Halloween and I’m on about Christmas. But after missing it for the last two years, I was finally on the ball enough to pick up a Lego City Advent Calendar at Mrs Tiggy Winkles this week, and come December 1 I am going to be the Mother of the [...]

Christmas in the Capital, 2008 edition

1 November 2008 Happy holidays

Edited to add: Looking for the 2011 information? You’ll find it here! With Halloween barely put to bed (with a sore belly from all that candy, no doubt) we’ve nary the time for a breath of air before the season of Santa Claus parades is upon us. This is the third year I’ve scoured the [...]
