Flat Stanley visits Frimley Lodge Miniature Railway.

In our village, there is a miniature railway.   On the first Sunday of each month from March to November and on Holidays, children and parents can enjoy rides on all sorts of miniature trains.     On Easter Sunday, Flat Stanley got to visit the railway and even ride on a train.

Flat Stanley arrives in England....

Dear Mrs Kiecana and students,

Our friend Jackson has sent Flat Stanley all the way from Virginia, USA to spend some time with our family in England.  We live in Frimley Green, Surrey, which is a village about 30 miles South West of London.    Flat Stanley arrived safely on April, 19th and we are looking forward to sharing some exciting adventures with him.

Here's Flat Stanley arriving at our house.
