Hi boys and girls!
After a very long journey (over 4,000 miles!), I finally got to my home in Hull, England last Wednesday.
Whew! Was I ever tired after such a long journey! Do you see me here, standing with the Englishman outside our house?
My hostess was very nice and the first thing she said was, "Would you like a cup of tea and a biscuit?"
Well, in Alabama, I like my tea in a tall glass with ice and sugar and lemon. And biscuits? in the afternoon?
How funny these Englishmen are! They drink tea hot, in a cup, with sugar and milk! And biscuits are not biscuits at all. They are cookies!
These Englishmen love tea so much, they even say they are having their tea when what they really mean is, we're eating our dinner.
Here I am in the sunroom of the Englishman's home. Can you find me?
The day happened to be very sunny when I arrived. But, I soon found out, it doesn't stay sunny for long in England.
Many days, the weather is cloudy and rainy. Rather dreary, I'd say, especially compared to sunny Alabama.
But, the Englishmen are rather cheerful about it. They have a famous saying over here, which is:
KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON.
(I think they got that one from their Queen).
I have to go now because we're having our tea soon. (I mean dinner!). But, I can't wait to write again because I've been to the City Centre and have gotten to see the statue of Queen Victoria (and lots of other things too). I'll send you the pictures soon.
I hope you are all very well. Bye for now.
Flat Stanley
P.S. the Englishmen say: Cheers, mate!
