Mr & Mrs Franklin's UK Tour 2012


Just a week from now we take off from Vancouver Airport and head for kids, family and friends back in the UK.  We will reconnect and recharge our spirits in Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire, Gloucestershire and Sussexshire.  After almost three years away, old haunts await; happy memories will abound, and missed culture, traditions, cuisine and beverages will be consumed with an insatiable appetite. 

We will be cataloguing our travels in a blog journal; we had such fun doing this after Manda and Cherie were here almost a year ago.  We will celebrate being home acutely aware of those things that make the United Kingdom very different from Canada; the things that make it a very special and unique place. 

I fully expect to be thoroughly screened as we are processed through Vancouver Airport as it is my staff undertaking that task.  They could hardly do otherwise.  I am most fortunate that my employer agreed a leave of absence to enable this trip to take place.  I need a breather and Kim certainly needs the break after a tough couple of years.  So from Sunday 30th September visit this blog and share our travels, thoughts and images.  Throw in your comments for good measure if you so desire.
Bye for now...
