Saturday we decided to break open a board game we got Tom for birthday called 'Ticket to Ride'. Initially it looked really complicated but as we went along it all made sense and we ended up enjoying it and wanting to play it again. It's all about building up a train empire across Europe so appeals to both boys well.
After lunch we headed to Bentham Golf Club to deliver 3 very different wedding cakes for Emma and Richard's wedding celebration (they actually got married in Scotland a couple of weeks ago).

When we came home, it was still raining, so decided to give up and introduce Tom to Harry Potter and watched The Philospher's Stone. Not sure he understood it all and a lot of fidgeting went on, but it didn't frighten him so I guess that's a start.
Sunday was a grey day, after much deliberation and debate we finally decided on going to Hest Bank and the Shore Cafe to play armchair cricket and have lunch and watch trains.
Armchair cricket is our new invention, Matt sits in a camping chair and bowls to either me or Tom. Whoever is batting is also wicket keeper and the other the fielder. It works quite well, and means Matt's not sitting by himself getting bored.
When the level crossing came down, the boys would hobble over to the bridge to look at the trains whilst I sat in the chair. All very civilised and good fun really.
