    Thanks Micky, had to think about something creative to do with an apple.

    They must have used some elaborate lever and pulley system to get it up on the wagon! And Gwain looks so happy with himself...

    @saldous, not to be confused with a Trojan Chicken.... ;)

    @jet7058, I reckon if you unhitch the cart and take the saddle off the back they might have been able to push it up on there.

    Thanks Jill :) I'm just hoping we don't have a pumpkin theme!

    Glad you liked it shutterberry!

  • David de Groot said:
    Vintage Lego at that ! :)
  • Maki_C30D said:
    so creative!!! love the vintage touch! ;-)
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks Maria - 'twas a rare burst of creativity ;-)

    From memory, that Lego would be about 18 years old.
  • Margot- said:
    Wow, vintage Lego! And used very creatively. So are these your old toys? :o)
  • David de Groot said:
    They are indeed Margot! I packed them all up in their original boxes years ago, and I've brought a few out recently to show the kids. I think the oldest set I have is from about 1981.

    How did I miss this !!! great fun , but you should really groom that horse, its obviously been having a roll on your carpet !!
  • David de Groot said:
    Would you believe it's simulated horse-hair ? ;-)
  • looby88 said:
    Lol !! actually - no , but I like your answer !!! always worth a try !!
  • David de Groot said:
    Darn! Well I guess I'll just have to admit to having dust in the house ;^)
  • looby88 said:
    LOL !!! well I have plenty of dust too, dog hair, parrot feathers, makes a lovely mix, still I can see when I've vaccumed up..... I did say when.... !! oh and by the way, my kids are 21 and 20 and they still make crumbs and mess, just thought I'd cheer you up. The process of civilising them takes a long time !!!!
  • David de Groot said:
    Argh! Don't tell me that! I want them out of the house by 19 at the latest ;-)
  • magicicada said:
    Wow! :-D The giant apple is stunning. Wishing Gwain the best of luck at the Faire... :-)
  • yewenyi (文意) said:
    looks like a set from one of those leggo movies that are so good.
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks magicicada!

    Brian, I must confess I've not seen those movies to tell, well except for that Camelot rendition someone did a few years back - lego and monty python, can't go wrong there!
