Camping tips, tricks and advice from a fairly average parent and a reformed dad blogger
If you are a collector of Lego Minifigures – either the ‘blind bag’ collections or perhaps a particular range – you might struggle to find a good solution to storing them all in a nice display case. Sure, you can buy a variety of options that do the job, but they’re all very expensive and…
Most of you who follow or know me will already be aware of my fascination with Lego – so when I was asked if I wanted to review the 2016 Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar, I obviously jumped at the chance. After my initial excitement, I realised I was in a bit of a strange…
Today is an exciting day. It might not seem like much to you, but today I have fulfilled a dream which I have been working towards for nearly five years – ever since I started this very blog, in fact. Yes, today (well, very recently anyway) I was asked to review a new Lego set….
The dad blogging community is having a good month, at least when it comes to Lego. If you’ve not seen one of the many posts on the subject, Lego have been rolling-out their new lines and sets for 2016 – and one of those sets contains a rather hipstery-looking Lego man pushing a baby in…

Back in May, a nice lady from an agency invited me along to Westfield shopping centre in London, to review what it was like for a dad (Fatherhood²: Review – Westfield Isn’t Just for Clothes Shopping). When said nice lady discovered that I spent the gift card she gave me in the Lego shop (well…
Chances are you will have seen a video from Greenpeace somewhere in your social feeds this week – if you’ve not seen it yet, take a look at the clip below. In a nutshell, Greenpeace are campaigning for Lego to drop their partnership with Shell Oil – a relationship which has been going for 50…
Yesterday, I learned that David Beckham and I have something in common. No, I’ve not been holding a secret footballing ability back from you all these years – and I certainly don’t have a penchant for wearing sarongs.
