Fatherhood: Review – Lego Super Heroes Iron Man: Detroit Steel Strikes

Posted on February 12, 2017January 6, 2018 by Henry Elliss

When I first heard that this Lego set was being released, I got way more excited than you’d probably imagine a grown-up man getting.

Not only was it an amazing concert, there was a big surprise at the end when he bought out both @doddleoddle AND the legendary @realmattlucas - what a treat!

As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I want As today is ‘Back British Farming’ day, I wanted to give a shout-out to all the farmers in the local area, especially Brimpton’s own @mbowden1954.
