Let the starling speak

Dear Mum, My London Holiday
Dear Mum, This is me in the plaza or whatever you call it next to the Tower of London, looking down at the wonderful old castle with another tourist. We do look a smart pair, don't we? (Actually the local lingo would say something more like 'we're a right pair, innit!')
Dear Mum, I thought you would like to see your smart-looking son all on his tod. I am sooooo sleek and suave, don't you think (innit)? I don't see why being a tourist should mean looking a complete mess. like so many humans do. I certainly tried to look my best for the photographer. I never once looked at him, you know. Just stood there looking as if I was about to fly away any minute. Keep 'em guessing, that's my motto.
Dear Mum. This is still me - but then you'd know me anywhere! I decided that the celebrity pose had been done enough and just turned my back on the photographer. I didn't look, but I'm not sure he was pleased. Anyway it presented another perspective on life. There's only so much you can enjoy, and he'd enjoyed my company quite long enough, I reckoned. I flew off after that.
