This was the first AFOL event that I went to aside from Star Wars Days at Legoland and it was great. I got to see a lot of great models and talk to some nice builders and vendors. I hope to go to these things more regularly and meet a lot more fellow AFOLs in person in the future. Feel free to tag yourself on pictures with your creations.
Two models built with instructions in the book: SpaceShipOne and an airboat. For the review, see The Brothers Brick.

This week I am doing walls; walls in and around the RV park.
Week #41 (w/b 19 April) Walls - Walls are everywhere, in our gardens, our streets and in the countryside so it’s time to go find another brick in the wall. Plain or painted, graffiti covered including street-art walls. Lengthways, sideways, looking over whatever way you wish just let’s have your great wall photos.

bricks, between bricks there is a difference in depth, areas of bricks are brighter and other darker, no shadows, no reflections, exterior

This week's theme: Minimalist
Nature is very determined. This plant (plus a number of wild strawberries) is growing in the crack between the brick wall of our conservatory and the concrete path. There is no soil there at all.
A nearby 1920s house has two spiral (helical) brick columns (one clockwise and the other anticlockwise). The bricks appear specifically shaped for the purpose. So, I tried to discover their history, because these days spiral brick strutures seem to be made awkwardly from rectangular bricks.
In Adelaide, helical brickwork was part of Tudor revival designs in the 20s and 30s (see www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/e15923e7-9ece-4217-83a9-9...), but I could not establish the actual shape of these bricks or which company made them.
I found one UK company that currently supplies specially shaped bricks to create a convex spiral (see www.ibstock.uk.com/pdfs/self-build-new-ideas/Spiralbrick.pdf). In the Tudor period, apparently special bricks were made, as well as bricks being carved in situ.
The Brick Lane Posse had a fabulous meet-up a week or two ago with the wonderful Allie, who was down visiting from Scotland. Allie is an amazing woman - beautiful, extremely intelligent, and fun - and we all had the most fantastic night out together.
In this pic (from left to right) you can see Nigella, Emma, Rachel, Rebecca (me!), and Allie herself. I had not seem Allie since long before the pandemic (although I have written a profile of her for "Transliving"!).
Allie just gets younger and lovelier as the years go by! I hope she will be down again soon.
Love and Kisses to All!

I enjoyed a fabulous afternoon out and about on Brick Lane in the Spring sunshine yesterday, with a group of lovely girlfriends. From left to right we have: Irene, Rebecca (me!), Chrissie, and Gillian. A great time was had by all!
The four of us attracted a lot of positive attention from tourists and other passers-by, with lots of requests to photograph us - and to be photographed with us. We were even approached by a casting director for an ad agency, shooting clothes "for the more mature woman (!!!)...". We shall see if anything comes of that!!
Love and Kisses to All!!!
