Franklins en France


Today has been a day that we have all been looking forward to. The Franklin family are due to visit and are making a spectacular detour on their return journey from La Rochelle to Calais. 
However, our permanent blue skies and sunshine have disappeared and been replaced with solid grey and heavy rain. We can’t believe it. We are moored in a beautiful spot which is perfect for young boys with footballs and boundless energy.
Luckily the skies clear by the early afternoon and just in time for the big arrival. Dan and Callum are overjoyed to be reunited with their great friends Alex and Scott. And Andy and I are equally pleased to see Sue and Darren.
The boys head off into the park to play football and soon join forces with a French family for a fast paced kick about. We relax with a glass of wine on deck and take a stroll in the gardens. Fantastic.
