“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)

Our cast of characters

We've gone through all our pictures from our various journeys to Blighty, and came across only one with all of our "regulars." We thought you might enjoy putting faces to the stories, so we decided to post it here. In shoes, from left to right, are Lew (Dad), Frances (Prodigal Wife), Denis (TPT), and Jessie (Mum). The little one is Kate (Prodigal Daughter?) at six months or so. The photo was taken in front of my brother Tony's house, in Chelmsford, the county town of Essex. Not much to see there, don't stopover!

Your grace: Kate does look sweet there, doesn't she--she couldn't talk yet, we miss that!
Josephine: you recognized me without my teddy bear mask? I'm flattered.
Carol: She's in her eighties in that photo, amazing, no?
Amy--Mum definitely had outrageous moments, that's for sure.
