haul

With football, LEGO, swimming, and a colourful Friends pickup to finish, Day 10 was packed from start to finish. Each stop carried its own special energy, from the cheers of Ballyogan Park to the creative buzz of Taney, the splashes at Dolphin Pool, and finally the quiet satisfaction of another successful addition to the collection. It was the kind of day that perfectly captures what Redmond’s Forge is all about: adventure, community, and the joy of building memories brick by brick.

After epic trips around Leinster and the memorable Ulster run, it was only fitting that Friday afternoon and night ended up with a Connaught adventure. This time, the roads led us west – with pickups in Westmeath and Roscommon, a car full of LEGO, and plenty of stories from the journey.

Wednesday was one of those days that will stand out in my memory, the kind of adventure that combines the joy of LEGO with the thrill of travel, discovery, and meeting new people. The destination was the grand opening of the brand-new LEGO Store in Victoria Square, Belfast, and it didn’t disappoint.

Every haul has its own rhythm, and this week’s LEGO adventure turned into one of those days where the miles rolled by, the boxes stacked high, and the stories to be told stretched far beyond the bricks themselves.
