My computer is surrounded by precious keepsakes and handwritten notes collected over fourteen (yes, fourteen!) years of BrickResales.

But the best part is the view that’s straight ahead of me – past the LEGO reef I built with my dear friend Frances, through the window and out into the showroom. Every day, I get to see all of you walk through t ..read more

A few months ago, we were contacted by Dr Radhika Tanksale (MA, MPhil, PhD Psychology), Director of Social Space Community – a social venture dedicated to promoting social connectedness through group activities.
“Social Space Community offers various social-rec ..read more
