Today marks the 50th anniversary of the famous Lego blocks collection.
I didn't realise how old this makes me to remember that I received a set when I was 12 years old from Uncle Shine when I was cooped up in the hospital. Thanks Uncle. It's a gift that I will always remember with fondness and only the privileged boys had them. They were a new invention to me, although they actually have been around since 1949. Probably took this long to gain some national popularity?
Hey, the thought just occurred to me that we are the same age and grew up together, they must have made them just for me :o)
