    I thought I'd share our other Hobby! I started it, but my husband has taken it up since he has retired. What we like to do is find a big job lot of Lego somewhere, Ebay or charity shops mostly, then sort it into sets. Picture 1 is one of my best finds. I bought a collect only job lot on Ebay last year (£103) and it was amazing, once we had sorted it out, it had the first 2 modulars, which are worth around £500 each, and loads of other sets too. The last 2 pictures are my latest haul, and should keep us busy in the next months of staying in! My husband was queuing to get a prescription (for nearly an hour!), so I had a look round a nearby charity shop, and found all the Lego in picture 3 for a very reasonable price. It includes plenty of interesting sets, even some really old Lego.

      What a wonderful Lego village Adele, it's charming! The hotel has so many cute features such as the cafe tables & bird on the roof. Looks like a very fun pastime to have esp right now

      Great idea! The City looks amazing, keep up saving those vintage sets :)

      Everything is closed here except Food shops now. Found the Lego just before the lock down! We use Bricklink to find Lego sets, then hubby prints off the inventory, then you have to find the bits that go in the set. Instructions can be found online, or they can be bought from Bricklink or Ebay. It's time consuming, but that's good stuck in the house all day.

      Looks like a great way to pass the time. I don't seem to have the energy or interest to do almost anything. All the places I usually go to are closed. I think I am suffering from Vintage Treasure Hunting Withdrawal - LOL

      I know what you mean. I keep meaning to have a sort out, but end up knitting and reading!

      Happy Christmas to you too Eileen. Tell your Grandsons to keep their Lego, then one day they can sort it and maybe make a fortune! I'm afraid I've not bought any glass for ages. I've been trying to concentrate on my Wedgwood Jasperware collection.
