5 Days until Departure

Well, seeing as our fearless leader is in San Francisco and knowing that our fan club is expecting a "5 Days until Departure" Blog entry, let me step up to the plate.

Woke up today to find a cold, cloudy and damp morning. I expect the weather in England to be quite similar. Speaking of England, Chantal, Veronica, and I spent the weekend visiting with my parents, who were entertaining friends and family from St. Catharines and Welland. Enjoying the beautiful weather on Saturday around the pool and in the pool, was my Aunt Moria and her best friend Barb and their friends Pat and Adrian. It did not take very long for our conversation to revolve around England and our Choir Tour. Pat and Adrian have their roots in Ireland and had recently visited England. Our discussions that night lead to many interesting conversations about where to visit during our fee time in England and the glorious music we were singing on tour. You see Adrian is a tenor/baritone who also sings in his parish choir. So I immediately pulled out the England tour CD from the car and let everyone listen to a few tracks from our repertoire.

Saturday night was a treat indeed, the wonderful meal that evening was just the icing on the cake to a brilliant day. Looking back I realize now, even more so than before that this trip to England by our Choir will not only be experienced by us, but it will also resonate in many ways with our family and closest of friends.

Today, I will be emailing Pat and Adrian, our family and many of our friends a link to this blog. So that they too will share our journey and experience this Blessing, that for each of us starts in just 5 days.

God Bless.
