Lego is undoubtedly a rite of passage and, having spent many happy hours as a child painstakingly building small three-walled houses, I thought I knew what to expect once my children were old enough to leave Duplo behind and be trusted not to try and swallow the standard size bricks.
But things have changed a lot since I was a child - gone are ice cream tubs of mis-matched pieces, nowadays Lego kits come with instruction booklets, individually bagged and numbered sets of bricks and freestyling is definitely out , unless you're on TV's Lego Masters show.
I was given the chance to tackle the ultimate geeky flower arrangement, the Lego Creator Botanical Collection Bouquet which usually retails for £44.99 but has been reduced at stockists including Argos and Amazon to £30 in the run up to Mother's Day.
