Sundays are supposed to be quiet days. A day to rest, chill out and take stock. Our Sunday was supposed to be exactly that, however, a lovely friend of mine (Linda) informed me yesterday that one of our shopping centres (Hempstead) was having a Transport Festival. Couldn't go yesterday, so went today instead.
The morning started with Callum trying to set up the Hornby that he'd persuaded his dad to get down from the attic. Unfortunately it wouldn't work, so up Phil went to help out! Soon I could hear whizzing and laughing and on investigation discovered a lovely little layout in Callum's room, working very well and two males, one young, one older, having a good old play. ;-)
After a quick lunch it was off to Hempstead for the cars. Luckily the weather held out as they were displayed in the outside car park. Callum had a great time looking at all the old classics. I must admit I prefer old classic cars to new ones because, and Callum pointed this out himself today:
"They all look so much better than newer cars don't they? They look more comfortable and they have character. New cars all look the same."
His words, not mine.
We took loads of photos, here are some of Callum's favourties:
On investigation inside the centre, I had to go and get a birthday present, we discovered that they had two of the James Bond cars in there:
Back home afterwards he was back upstairs for more railway, back downstairs for Railway Simulator on PC, then back upstairs after dinner with dad for more railway.
Me, I got on with knitting and gardening. Nice to be able to leave the boys to it.
