Last month, I reviewed (click here) a DVD that we had been sent featuring the first episodes of the new series of Thomas & Friends on Milkshake. The Thomas & Friends Press Office (which still sounds like a fun place to work to me !) have just sent me a press release about a fabulous free Thomas-themed event coming up at Hamleys, to celebrate the 65th birthday of the talking train, as well as details of how to make a funky Thomas cake as part of the festivities. Wow - I wonder if I'll manage to pull that off for Juliette's 5th birthday party next week !
