Mummy and daddy have been telling me about today for ages but I didn’t really believe them, I mean Thomas the tank engine isn’t really real, is he? So I made sure to get daddy up good and early 5.40 should do nicely although I did go back to sleep around 7 to make sure that I was wide awake for Thomas.

We got to the station good and early and had a good look around, there was a big green train which had a face but it wasn’t Emily it was called Hercules. He took us along the tracks to see Thomas who was hiding in a place called Dartmouth. When we got there he was just leaving with a train full of excited passengers so we had a walk around and I got my picture taken with the (not so) fat controller! There was not much to buy in the shop which was a bit disappointing cause daddy had told me he would buy me something really good. Before long Thomas came back and we stood and had our picture taken next to him. I got quite upset when he blew his whistle, daddy told me it would be loud but I didn’t think it would be that loud! PEEP PEEP!!

We then had our little trip on Thomas and headed back on the big train to Paignton, I had such a good morning I fell fast asleep for ages even getting off the train and being put in my push chair didn’t wake me up.

what a day! Thanks mum, thanks dad!! xx
