Henry loves Lego. What a fantastic invention, Lego. My parents bought it for we children when we were very young, land as we grew, so did the Lego. We bought it for our children and the cycle began again. Now we're buying it for Henry. It was a real joy to see him play with it with his father.

One of the best holidays we had when the children were small as in Denmark, home of Lego. But we decided against going to Legoland because we thought it would be just another tacky tourist trap. And we had lots of other stuff to see, birthplace of Has Christian Andersen, Tivoli Gardens, Little Mermaid, and we only had seven days. However we did spare a couple of hours for it on the way back to catch the North Sea ferry. That's when we realised we had made a mistake. We should have given Legoland a whole day. It was amazing! Children, parents, we all had a great time there. (More in retro part of this blog).

Back the present, we all went for lunch at what is now becoming our traditional family lunch venue, the Organic Farm Shop & Cafe near Cirencester. My son is vegetarian and we all care about the quality of the food we eat, and this is one of those rare places we can all go together and choose widely and freely from the menu. So relaxing. So delicious. 

@FarmShopOrganic is deceptive from the outside. All the goodies are inside, like Aladdin's cave :-)
