What it's like to be a Lego widow
It started innocuously enough. A 553-piece Lego kit of the Beatles and their yellow submarine, with John, Paul, George and Ringo in front of the colourful vessel. About 25 centimetres long, it fit neatly on a display shelf, although the periscope kept getting knocked off.
Things escalated quickly, though, with the Lego Saturn V rocket at 1969 pieces (get it?). At a metre high, the completed rocket was banished to the spare room, soon to be attached to an even bigger launch tower.
