We had a very quiet weekend last weekend - so much so that we didn't take any photos! Matt played cricket on the Saturday, we went fruit picking in the morning at a local PYO - we got raspberries, gooseberries, black currants and rhubarb. The main reason for this is jam making - Matt's new bread machine has a jam function and he was very keen to try it out. We have been saving up glass jars and figured we had enough to start so off we went. Tom turned out to be a very good raspberry picker - and he didn't eat any - what a good boy.
We had lunch at home, then Matt went to play cricket, Tom went for a sleep (he seems to need afternoon sleeps on Saturdays at the moment - I guess we are packing in the activities at the moment) and I worked on cake things.
Sunday we headed to a village near Bradley to meet up with one of Matt's translator friends who was visiting home from Japan with her two boys - Ryū (6) and Ryōki (2). The three boys got on really well with each other - the boys spoke some English, but really the spoken language isn't completely necessary when you have toys to play with and a park to play in.
After a run around outside by the river, we came back to rice balls and Shepherd's Pie - Tom shovelled his down (fusion cooking is great isn't it?!) We reluctantly had to say goodbye after lunch, popped into Tescos in Skipton (rubbish) and then headed home - Tom fell asleep - he really has very little stamina!
