“Half memoir, half travel, A Yank Back to England...is an absolutely wonderful book, not only about going home again but also about love and family and tradition and the passage of the years.” —Michael Dirda, Pulitzer Prize-winning literary critic (Washington Post) To see the entire quote, click here.

Is the picture tinted pink in the upper left corner and the church also? I tried to enlarge the photo but couldn't, nevertheless it is a lovely photo. Thanks for coming to visit my blog and I shall be visiting yours again. As an anglophile,I will enjoy reading more about your homeland. I secretly would love to travel more and be able to write about it(make money at it too).
Standing, from L to R: Lew (Dad), Frances (Prodigal Wife), Denis (The Prodigal Tourist), and Jessie (Mum). Floating: Kate (Prodigal Daughter).

Years ago I shed my Cockney accent and left London's blighted East End for America. Since then, I’ve only returned to see my increasingly cantankerous parents and assorted relatives. Until my American wife comes along. She wants to tour, see the sights. No thank you. It’s not for me. But she insists, and I become a reluctant tourist in my former homeland.
