Got plans for the Bank Holiday weekend? Here are a few ideas of things to do for those of my followers who live in, are near to, or indeed virtually, Scotland, Leeds and Alnwick:

|
Brick Wonders now open at the
National Museum of Flight
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Until 27 June,
travel around the old and new Wonders of the World, recreated in half a
million LEGO® bricks by brick artist Warren Elsmore and his team.
Beginning with the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, over 30 intricate
LEGO® models take you to historic, natural and modern wonders from all
seven continents…all without having to board an aeroplane.
See an Egyptian pyramid being built, marvel at the natural pyramid of the
Matterhorn, peer into the depths of the Grand Canyon, hear the bustle of
Old London Bridge and get lost in the three-metre-long recreation of the
Great Barrier Reef. Watch the oceanic model being built in this time lapse video.
