Happy International Lego Classics Day everyone! My offering this year is a Duplo version of a recent research article about writing on Mount Hymettos, Athens, home to some very important inscriptions.

I love this model by Sam Aquillano, Founder and Editor of Bricka Magazine. Sam said: "I built this small classical ruin MOC using parts on hand — a fragment of a column, weathered stonework, and a curious explorer (me) mapping the past." #ILCD10 #BCEPantheon #InternationalLEGOClassicismDay

Happy 10th Annual International LEGO Classicism Day - and we are kicking it off strongly with the Teece Museum, New Zealand, and their LEGO exhibition featuring the Odyssey! #ilcd10 #BCEPantheon

LEGO Lexie accompanied me to Bristol to start a PhD so here she is playing The Last of Us while I took notes! She can also be spotted generally finding the coolest spots to pose around the Bristol Digital Game Lab.
