"The Returnee..."

We are in the middle of a roller coaster of transition. We left Uganda on 1st July, and travelled to visit Dan's family in America... Now we arrive in England, where I have not lived since 1992, almost twenty years ago... I left young free and single, and return with an American husband and two children, aged 11 and 9... I hope to describe the experiences of "the Returnee", with, no doubt, flashbacks to our African life, and commentary from my children along the way...

A Gorgeous, Sunshiny November Afternoon

Today there was time for my favourite walk of all with Frodo...

We started off at Over Farm (owned by distant cousins of mine),




... passing the now wild strawberry fields, leaves turned autumn red...



... up the lane towards the scary oak...


...  furry Old Man's Beard in the hedge...



... and, unexpectedly, masses of spindle berries, (I had to look them up)...





Naughty, waggy-tailed Frodo ran ahead into the woods, only stopping to look back and then run on...





... loving the sun shining onto a maple tree...


... and highlighting Gloucester Cathedral, a heavenly building pointing up to heaven ...



We were ten minutes late picking up Alex from school, but, it was worth it.
