No, Thomas Land isn't a place in Tom's head, it's the new Thomas the Tank Engine place at Drayton Manor!! We went there last weekend, for Anthony Vakis 5th birthday, and considering it was the middle of April we thought it might be relatively warm! How wrong we were! It was freezing, so mum and dad offered to have Izzy rather than drag her around with us for the day, which I think was a star decision! There were 15 adults and 16 children, so rather hectic, but fun! Tom went on the Jeremy aeroplane ride, Harold the Helicopter, and the Troublesome Truck Rollercoaster! (which I have to say was slightly scary!) But Tom took it all in his stride until we went on the Pirate Adventure which was a bit spooky even for me! When we eventually gave in to the cold and went home, Grandpa had made a delicious moussaka and we all had baths to thaw out a little!
Next day, Anthony had a Disney party, and Tom went as Lightning MacQueen from the Cars movie (it's amazing what you can get from Sainsburys these days!) It was a brilliant party, the disco was fantastic and Tom boogied to 'Show me the Way to Amarillo', with Buzz Lightyear and Snow White, which was nice! Pizza and wine was aplenty for the parents, and I had to be restrained from getting up and having a bop when 'Could it Be Magic' came on!
When we got home Izzy discovered a new hiding place!!
