So, In Case You Were Wondering...

The title of this blog may seem a little odd to some people. So, here is my explanation.

- The number one reason that this blog has the title it has, it because Laura refused to let me change it to anything else. I tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade her to adopt a catchy phrase or an often quoted line from one of our favorite novels. But, she could not be persuaded, so the name stuck. I don't know, maybe you think that Canterbury Revisited would be a better title? (A take on the title Brideshead Revisited, a new favorite of ours that we read last summer. The only problem with this one is that we are simply visiting Canterbury, not revisiting.)

- This blog actually has a purpose. It is supposed to be a travel blog, but I think we are both getting a little carried away.

- We call it Canterbury Postcard because it is like sending everyone at home a little postcard about all the wonderful things we are doing across the pond. It really should be called Postcard from Canterbury, but as my readers can see, I lost that battle too.

- Why a Postcard? Why not a letter, or a post-it note? Postcards are small, short and sweet. They do not have the space for long epistles about nothingness. They should be to the point. We simply do not have the time to waste writing a book for a few dozen people to read at their leisure.

So, in case you were wondering, that's why.
