These past couple of weeks have really put Acton on the map! We had the announcement of Lord Johnny Acton and Lady Lucinda was coming to Acton. This news made the Toronto Star and as late as Friday, the front page of the Glove and Mail.
The Acton Town Hall was the place to be on Sunday night as Johnny spoke to a packed house about his family tree. He is a very interesting character.
Lord Acton of Glouscestershire, England has written 13 books. Many of them off beat topics from soup to comedy and even hot air ballooning.
He had quite the Canadian experience. He canoed. Attended the Halton Regional annual farm tour. He was a judge for Miss Acton at the Fall Fair. He and Lady Lucinda better known as Percy were at the Acton Fall Fair eating varieties of Fair Food as well as looking at all of the various animals.
His speech at the Acton Town Hall was very interesting as he spoke about his family tree. Many of his relatives were scoundrels and rogues. He was quite open about it. Mind you, as I said, at the dinner if we all looked into our family tree there would be a lot of monkeys in it as well.
He will be making sausages at the Acton Farmer's Market on Thursday. That is his specialty. He is very down to earth and very engaging. Congratulations to those who went on Facebook to invite him to Acton.
