You or the Kids Bored? Try Building Virtual Lego For Free

Kids pick these things up really quickly, and like Minecraft, building Lego is also really very creative and relaxing. The biggest problem is all the choices there are, as they all work a bit differently.
An interesting online option is MecaBricks, and downloadable options are Lego’s own Digital Designer (LDD) which although no longer supported can still be downloaded from their site. Other offline options are Bricklink’s Studio, and LeoCAD. Although all are Windows and / or macOS, I’ve tried two on Linux with WINE Bottles, and they run just fine.

The steam train between Cape Town and Elgin is back from 28 November 2021

The trip takes about four hours, with the train winding its way up Sir Lowry's Pass before descending into Grabouw and the valley below, best known for its green tapestry of apple and pear orchards.

Passengers aboard the Class 19 D steam locomotive – affectionately known as Dolly – will have around three hours to explore the Elgin Railway Market. The market hosts a variety of food stalls and retail booths, selling jewellery, genuine leather goods, and even bespoke braai tools. There's a bar that serves local wines, beer, and cider and a wine shop stocked with Elgin and Bot River wines.

Regular trips will resume every Saturday and Sunday.
