Model Railways

Another gloomy Saturday.  The morning was spent football training, I got out of the first hour waiting in for a cake collection.  Tom came home had a shower to warm up and then we headed to Bernies for our last meal there - it is about to shut to be taken over.  Matt really likes their chicken curry so the chef had written the recipe out for him and saved some spice mix for him - he was very touched.

Sunday was yet another gloomy day we all slept in late.  We decided to head out to Staveley to Wilf's for brunch.  On the way back, Matt decided to head through some back roads to see where we would come out, luckily for him we came out somewhere which had a sign directing us to the sports centre for Kendal's model railway exhibition.  We have been before, it is quite good and as we had nothing planned for the rest of the day we decided to head to it.  Well that was the day sorted.  Tom, as you know loves watching model railways, well correction: model railway fiddle yards.  If it was up to him, he would have stayed there all afternoon, but I thought 2.5 hours was long enough.  There were some good displays with lots to see, but really once you've seen a train run up and down, that's it. We did bump into some Ingleton friends though which was a bonus.

Tom was a happy (and lucky) boy.
