Plane ticket has arrived, Canada here I come, again.

When we were last in Canada I met a lad (Nick Brown) who worked for another Alberta company. He was packing up his family and moving to New Brunswick.
I was just reminded of them, as his wife Sandy just left a comment on a previous post (thanks Sandy) It seems they have now moved across to Edmonton, but it wasn't plain sailing as you will find if you read her blog...

"The trailer forced us off into the ditch and the front drivers side corner hit a rock. This caused us to flip and roll, tearing the trailer from the car. The trailer then hit the back of us, stopping the roll and spun us round.
It was horrific and terrifying. ..."

Plane ticket has arrived, I'll be arriving back in Calgary February 11th, and I'm sad to leave Cath, family and friends, but happy to meet back up with pals in Canada.

My only fear is whether I can stand to be away from my new love, and Cath will also have the same problem when she gets here, but it's not Afghan or Iraq, and I know people who have left young families behind to go to those war zones, so no comparison really.

I was going to call this blog "Letter to Rebecca" but I'm a Yorkshireman, not a soft bloody southerner!

Good luck Mick, hope we can meet this time, some time.
I keep shouting, "Is that you Roly?" on the Cb when ever I see a Watt and Stewart truck; but never any reply.
