Settling down to make pirate ships out of stickle bricks and duplo, Stan (5) is in charge of the plans, he is the foreman. Freddie (2) is showing interest in helping but is proving to be quite destructive. I’m keen on making a pretty speedy catamaran, with jet pipes/cannons, and an awesome lookout tower. Over the top of the general hubbub of the shipyard we have the Double Leopards. The album is cranking and groaning away whilst our boats are being constructed. Stan notices some killer bees are attacking, this can happen at sea apparently. It’s midnight, our boats are slinking along. Bells are clanging off in the distance. Those bees are still attacking. My tower is creaking.
If you’re ever planning on launching pirate ships made out of duplo and stickle bricks into the dark night seas then this is the album for you. My catamaran gets a big thumbs down from Stan, it’s not very ‘piratey’ according to the foreman, Freddie is sent to destroy it. Game over before the album is finished.
The only other thing I have by DL is Halve Maen which I loved. This is a very nice addition and it comes housed in a lovely record in a silk screened jacket, ltd to a 1000.
