Aiden was keen To help in the kitchen. "Can I make the gRavy today, Mum", he oozed. "Ok," said Mum, cautiously. Aiden got some water in the saucepan and was just about to start heating it when Mum spotted how much water he'd put in there. "Oh Aiden dear, that's rather a lot of water. You've got about a quart there, but we only need about a pint at the most. But we won't have to abort what you've started - we can tip half of it away." Suitably corrected Aiden enjoyed making the gravy whilst Mum prepared the rest of the roast dinner. Although a tad risky, Mum allowed Aiden to set up his Brio on the dinner table and to let a small train take the gravy boat to each family member on the Brio track. Aiden went to bed happy that night; Mum was glad there were no spillages despite expecting them at any moment throughout the meal!
