Reflections on a return


I'm writing this 8 years to the day after we moved to America, so as we prepare to return to the UK, it's worth a look back at the last few of them and some of the memories from Franklin: home; nature; friends; family; beginnings; memories . . . and hot air balloons.

Baa made a few visits for quality time with us.


Daddy gives the best hugs.

We'll remember the 'deer grass' at the back

Nashville Zoo

Never has a mall's play area been so exciting. She nabbed TWO ducks on this trip!

Primrose school Easter Egg hunt

Earrings happened in Franklin

As did the very first trip to the 'movie theatre'

First Day on the school bus!

climbing 'Pride Rock'

Racing to the end of the road to see it take off

Halloween in the States is something else

a memorable parent/child art class. (Hers was better than mine!)

And she knows it ;)

She graduated from her gymnastics class. 


Smith Park was wonderful. This is the day we did the Red Trail. 

I'll remind Ananya of this when she's older . . . but at 5 years of age she was obsessed with the Ghost of Christmas Past. 

Franklin Dickens of a Christmas, 2019.

Many a morning spent walking around the Factory at Franklin. 

Froggy Park. 

Early 2020 snow. 

Happy times.
