Duncan Titmarsh became the UK's Lego Certified Professional in 2010, building models and creating tours, including a huge model of Tower Bridge which could carry a real Land Rover. This fully functioning set was made from 5,805,846 individual LEGO bricks, breaking the previous Guinness World Record by 470,646 pieces. Laid end to end, the bricks would stretch for almost 200 miles, or from Tower Bridge in London to Paris.

He then formed his own company, Iconic Bricks, which has built dinosaur trails and pirate spectaculars. Duncan also collects Lego and runs a Vintage shop within the company.

Mark Simpson visited Duncan and his team in Bordon, to find out about his passion for toy bricks and experience the wonder of their latest 38 model trail - Extinction - which includes Dodos, gigantic woolly mammoth and a spectacular Sabre Toothed Tiger.

Extinction debuts at Marwell Zoo this summer. It runs from Saturday 19th July until Sun 7th September.

Headway, based in Portsmouth, holds local groups in St Peter's Hall in Petersfield to help people who may have sustained a brain injury.

Jo Dallas, Chief Executive of Headway Portsmouth and South East Hampshire speaks to Mike Waddington about this serious but often seemingly hidden disability.

Bridget, who cares for her husband, and Nigel, who has an injury himself, say how important Headway's activities are.

The Petersfield group meets on a Tuesday, and offers peer support for people affected and the family members who care for them.

You can self-refer to Headway, though they also have excellent links with the Queen Alexandra Hospital, Physiotherapists and Social Prescribers.
