Lego is one of the few toys that is fun and educational and that children can enjoy for longer than just one afternoon. I remember playing with my Lego bricks for hours without getting bored. I built gardens and parks, castles, skyscrapers and a stable for my toy ponies. Of course, this is a couple of years ago (two to be precise *cough*), but if you want to catch up with the latest things the ...

I love taking photos, especially if Amy plays along and helps me to capture snapshots like this. At the moment, she absolutely loves having her picture taken.

We had a lovely day out and the weather was on our side. ...

They are used ...

On a gorgeous Sunday, we decided to make the most of the weather and take Amy for her first visit to Rostock Zoo.
