Mum is definitely the word today, of course, because it's Mother's Day in the U.K.
Place of the day: Canterbury
As in Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, we made a pilgrimage last week to this quaint town and breathtaking cathedral. We also tried to do an album cover (second photo) in the ruins of a castle.

So Flat Stanley is originally a children's storybook character who travels all over the world. Now elementary students send their own Flat Stanley creations to international destinations. My good friend Joe was lucky enough to be a recipient of Stanley from his nephew in the States. We took Stanley around for some City of London sightseeing. And then we even headed up to St. John's Wood to pay a tribute to the four lads. We think we made quite a storybook.
Flat Stanley started his London sightseeing at Piccadilly Circus.
Flat Stanley had to stop to call home.
Flat Stanley almost fell in the fountain at Trafalgar Square.
Flat Stanley can tell time because Big Ben is nearby.
Flat Stanley walked along the London Bankside and posed between London Bridge and Tower Bridge.
Flat Stanley visits the famous Abbey Road, where the Beatles once walked. He sees where millions of fans have written on the wall and even crosses the steet like the Beatles did on their album cover.
The end.

Hi Ellie! I am April Lewis, Joe's sister and mother of his nephew Parker who created the Flat Stanley. My mom and sister told me you had these pics on your blog and I had to find you! I showed these to Parker also and we're really excited! Thank you so much for going on these adventures with Joe and Stanley, and for posting them on your blog! Hope you're adjusting to life back in the States and I hope we get to meet you someday! April
Hi April! I'm so glad you found these! I had so much fun showing Stanley around London, so the thanks is all mine. I hope Parker was able to show his class the coolest pictures!
