I worked in the museums of South Kensington for twenty-five years before deciding, on a three-month sabbatical in 2010, that my resilience to stress was plummeting and I really needed to not work for a while. I took the opportunity of the Tory’s decimation of the public sector to propose that my job be one of those made redundant. Funded by my pay-off and an earlier inheritance I determined to set off to see the world before I was too old and decrepit to enjoy it.
I am fat, ginger and fifty and live in south-west London with a partner, six cats and a startling amount of clutter.
Jackie, so sorry not to have seen you to say goodbye today. Hope all goes well and that we manage somehow to keep in touch! Mark x
We have a few World Heritage Sites and Lego shops. Will we see you here soon?
Hi Hanlie! Not sure when I’ll be making it your way yet – probably next year…
Jax
I am assuming you have undertaken this project purely to gather material for an article for the Newsletter, a very laudable undertaking. Good on you and take care. Three Friday 13ths next year so you can catch up, missed you on the last one.
Absolutely Mike, no other reason! I was in Morocco last week – when are the next two Friday 13ths?
Not fixed yet, but we can’t wait until next year. I’ll let you know but probably in July, when will you be back?
I’ll be back in mid-late July Mike – I’m not travelling continuously, not at the moment anyway.
I was told about your blog by an ex-work colleague of yours and am dropping in to say I am inspired, amused and green with envy reading your Lego-flavoured travels.
So much so that I’ve written about your blog for the CraftyCrafty.tv website I write for.

Hope you don’t mind! Happy travels and may the Lego craft force be with you.
Wow, thank you – I’m delighted you enjoyed it! I’m currently three monasteries behind on the Lego models and have just arrived in the Azores for a week. regards Jackie
