Yum yum!
Er, depends on the pasties though. Ones with lots of horrible onions and stuff thrown in give me the boak, sorry. I'm more of a sausage roll man than a pastie man.

We're going elsewhere. Trust me and Ralph on this one, if we're near the outlet village there's just one place we go for lunch. Oh yes....

I assume the plan is that you'll meet me at the station and we'll head straight to the museum from there?

Yes.
Something's come up that's going to remove me from procedings for the post lunch session though: all my fault I wrote it down wrong in the diary. I'm an idiot.

Some amazing stuff there. Doubly gutted I couldn't make it, Burns txts were infuriating. Lego Zeroids and Marvin the Martian.
Bloody amazing.

Heavy lurgy meant holding Phil's camera steady was troublesome, so apols for the blurry ones but my nose was constantly runninag and much sneezing meant it was tricky. I just could not get a steady shot of the Jawa Sandcrawler interior at all. Alas, I did not get shots of the amazing life-size fully operational LEGO wheelchair with cupholder (one of the designers did sit in it and move it around) nor the three different machines which took Rubik cubes and solved them by themselves or the actual working LEGO waterfall which was just randomly part of the scenery for one of the LEGO railways.
The moving Terminator T-1 also eluded me from clear shots. A truly frightening machine!

Just so long as you eluded the T-1's shots!

It does look like it was a fantastic show. I really wish I had been able to make it down. Perhaps next year.
EDIT:- Oh my. Lego Marineville is a thing of pure joy!
