We've got one more week to go before the end of term, and despite losing lots of students and classes now that exams are over, things don't seem to have slowed down much. Dani is doing exam marking again this year which is keeping her busy in the evenings and we're also in the process of buying a house - we exchanged contracts today so the move should be on. I don't think either of us will be entirely convinced until we have the keys, having got burnt on the last one just before exchange. To help with all the stress and well, because Lego is awesome, we bought two new sets this month.

A couple of weeks ago, we bought the Lego London Bus (#10258) which technically isn't released until August. As a VIP member I received an email to let me know they were doing a special early release in their London stores, so we got to the shop just after opening to pick one up. It came with a special limited driving licence - which immediately after seemed to be selling on ebay for £15, so maybe it'll be worth something one day!.

Our newest set is the Lego Carousel (#10257) - its was a pretty epic build although there's a fair bit of repetition with 6 or 12 copies each small build finally culminating in quite an epic structure. I think the best bit is the animals around the side - they move up and down as the carousel turns, its so well engineered! Both sets are amazing and I highly recommend them if you're undecided. I've taken a few pictures to share them with everyone else. I hope you like them as much as me!
