Lego can be dangerous....

As reported previously, I took Jamie along to a Lego exhibition the first weekend of the half term and it was brilliant.  I took along my camera and spent the afternoon merrily taking photographs of  all the exhibits, Jamie and his friends.  My back was hurting, but (as I have been doing for a while) I simply kept popping the pills and carried on.
