We decided to give Mylo his birthday presents on Saturday as that was his party day and he would have been rather confused about receiving presents he didn’t know what to do with (read below for his present list) We got him a Train Table with brio (donated shhhhhhh) and lots of Thomas Trains including of course Thomas himself, James, Rosie, Molly and Gordon amongst others. (ebay shhhhhh!) As we can’t believe they charge £10 per train!!!!! He also got some books, stickers and Fuzzy Felt Faces.
We all had a great day at Mylo’s Beach Party at Portobello Beach this Saturday and it was even Sunny. It was looking a bit iffy to start with… it had been raining… but by 12:30 the Sun was out in full force! Everyone stayed for around 4 hours.
Who attended?
