My son was an hour late to bed last night
because I was we were busy constructing the mother of all Thomas the Tank Engine train tracks. This one was epic - all the way around the edge of the room and under the bed with two bridges, two level crossings and a turntable. Then we set Thomas chugging along with a mighty six carriages (including Annie and Clarabel, natch).

Can't wait til he's old enough for Scalextric.
