Today we were lucky enough to receive an invite to meet The Fat Controller. The children were happy as it involved a train ride!
It was part of a series of events to advertise Tracks4Thomas. The Reverend W. Awdry originally created Thomas the Tank Engine to cheer up his son when he was sick. In the same spirit, Thomas & Friends are celebrating Christmas this year by undertaking an epic journey to help The Fat Controller deliver presents to children in hospitals across the UK and Ireland. Show your support by logging in at www.Tracks4Thomas.com via Facebook or Twitter and adding a piece of virtual track to Thomas & Friends’ Christmas journey.
On the way the toddler asked the name of every station we were passing through. As we neared St John’s Wood station he asked if that’s where the Gruffalo was! It just shows that he does pay attention when we read books!
Lucky toddlers to have such an exciting time….xxxxx
