Dan5589 Meets Christopher Awdry

From 27th October 2010, My dad and I went on a 2 hour journey to Wimborne Minster Model Town in Dorset.

As we got there, the place was full of miniature town where people could walkthrough as gentle giants! Later, we went inside a room with a Model Layout and lots of rare thomas pictures aswell as a thomas ride. (which is suitable for kids)

Soon I've met Christopher Awdry for the very first time, just before the event has already started. As everyone was in line to meet Christopher and getting their thomas items signed by him, I joined in to get 65th Anniversary Edition book signed along with Annual 2011 which is I just bought.

As the event went well, I had a brief but good conversations with Christopher, Helen and Robbie about Thomas related discussions. (But at other times, I have to leave them to give them their space or let anyone else to meet Christopher aswell) Later that day, I went to look around at the minature town and was aware that I'm humongous! (No wonder Wimborne Model Town has done a small but realistic town like this!)

At the end of the day, My dad came back to collect me for home. We bid our farewells to Christopher, Helen and Robbie, as we left, I wished Christopher a good luck writting stories for the upcoming Railway Series Book.


Enjoy!

I feel so privileged to actually have had a personal meeting with Christopher! My school knew I was a huge Thomas fan so they arranged me to met him one on one for 10-15 mins and he signed all my books an I got to speak with him about Thomas and how it was created and his father. It was an amazing experience!
