Wet wet wet weekend

Rain, rain, rain and more rain this week and this weekend.  So much so that football got completely cancelled!  They were supposed to have a match this weekend, but roads and football pitches were flooded - didn't make sense for it to go ahead.

That meant we had the full day to ourselves, but the weather forecast was solid rain.  Tom requested a train trip to Leeds, we didn't have any better ideas so off to Leeds we went.  

Small boy, big tart

We got there at lunchtime and headed to Bundobust - an Indian Street Food restaurant a friend had told us about.  It was vegetarian, and the best authentic Indian food I have ever had outside of India.  Unfortunately a lot of it was a bit too spicy for Tom, but we found enough for him to munch on (his favourite being okra - another new vegetable to add to his list)

We then did a targeted strike on Leeds city centre and did most of our Christmas shopping.  In fact we did so well, that we finished early, so found ourselves an independent cafe (quite difficult in the city centre) for a coffee and sit down before heading to Wasabi to pick up our sushi tea and the train station for some train spotting before heading back.

After an uneventful trip back we ate our sushi in the lounge whilst watching Dad's Army - perfect end to a soggy Saturday.

Sunday - Tom wasn't feeling well - complaining of a cold.  He didn't want to do much, including swimming which is our usual Sunday fall back on a horrible weather day.  So, we stayed in.  Tom played with Lego whilst Matt and I did some jobs we've been putting off for a while.  Tom then requested a 'cheesy' lunch so we braved the weather and headed to Hawes for a once round the tasting room and lunch.  The afternoon was spent cuddled up on the sofa watching Ratatouille.  Not an exciting day, but a necessary day.
