Blue Monday is typically mid-January, a day that most of us feel down. The Christmas and New Year celebrations are well and truly over, bills are due, it’s cold and payday is still a couple of weeks away. But there is always hope and for us LEGO fans we have our hobby, the humble plastic brick!

A great way to brighten up your day is to grab a LEGO set or some random bricks and get building. For me personally I like to build whilst my favourite music plays, the stresses of the day just fade away. There are plenty of new sets to get stuck into, these include the bright and colourful 3-in-1 Creator sets, such as the Ukulele, Camera, Roller Skate and more. Bigger options include the recently released Natural History Museum modular, Auspicious Dragon and Family Reunion Celebration set.

On a more serious note, if you are struggling then please reach out to family, friends and local support groups. Their support can be invaluable and life-saving. Below are a few links that you may find useful.
