The Landing

About one month ago, Muppy was stuffed into a bag and shipped over to the Motherland, the Queen's country. For about 7 hours, Muppy was not a happy camper, but the second he arrived at London's Heathrow Airport, he was overcome by joy. 

For three simple days, Muppy and Miss Yumi stayed in a village, north of London with a very nice American ex-pat named Patricia. There, Muppy learned about the gentle ways of the country and learned how to eat "gluten-free". A few days later, Miss Yumi decided to relocate to a nice flat in Islington (also north of the city, but not so far out). Since then, Muppy has been playing with his two-year-old flatmate, Carmen and searching for the perfect job with Miss Yumi!

Birthday Business

Birthdays are Miss Yumi's favorite holidays and April 23rd just so happens to be her Papa and Shakespeare's birthday. Even though little Muppy has been teaching Miss Yumi the lazy art of sleeping in, sun shining at high noon gets the two out of bed and out in the garden. They decide to sweep the entire backyard and help prune and clean each section as a surprise for Miss Yumi's dad. After a few minutes of weeding, Muppy's allergies act up, so he retreats a little early and keeps the house safe from wandering children with overpriced lemonade. :)

Easter Sunday on Marion Street

On Easter morning, Muppy and Miss Yumi awake to a fine brisk day with rare blue skies for all. First and foremost is a visit to Saint James Cathedral to offer roses to the Virgin Mary. After enjoying one of the most beautiful churches, Miss Yumi stops by her old apartment building to revisit old memories with Muppy. Looks like tenants are constantly coming and going these days! When they finally realize that their tummies have been growling, the two decide to stop by Kanpai around the corner for some much needed rest and food. It ends up being some of the best udon that they have ever had! The rest of Muppy and Miss Yumi's day is spent revisiting buses, places and people that they will never forget.
