Well, after my earlier vocal finds on the voice recorder on my phone, I decided that wasn’t really enough!
The chants and music was randomly recorded, so sadly I cannot credit the Vedic’s or the musicians by name. So instead, in honour to them and my contextualising of the melodic relevance of these three pieces, I have spliced together some images of my journey, in order to bring those times to life for you!
Memory number 1. India.
Diary of a Gay Dad. I am a full time dad to five young children. 
This is so wonderful! What great memories and beautiful photos 😀

Thank you J. At a point when I returned to England, I believed I had lost many of the baby pictures! My new phone started a new. Just a few I had shared on Facebook. However, 4 years later I realised there had been a backup on a flash drive taken from my old, broken Sony laptop! The girls and I had such a field day recounting the memories. 💕💕

The music is calming and it was nice to small glimpse into the early years of your and your children’s journey. Loved the picture on the rickshaw.

Thank you Ab. It was quite a journey. The rickshaw was a fun day out towards the end of my time in Mumbai. It was a time of tears and some smiles…

I agree. This lovely video montage – and your earlier music post – really helped me connect with your book, which you know I’ve finished but it made me think back. It’s such an intense, vivid experience and such an incredible story of becoming a family; i think the visuals really help.

I am very happy you confirmed that for me Anna. The randomness of the three separate and indeed very different melodies, on reflection, did not mirror the time that they enveloped me. I realised that finding the music once again, needed a reference point! Eh Voila. I thank you 🙏 for your comment. 🙂

Thank you so much. I appreciate that Margie. It does build upon just the fragment of the chant alone. Baby pictures always make me smile too xx

I love this! You know I’m a sucker for the baby pics, but you’ve created a wonderful montage of your time spent abroad. Lovely, Andi!

Thank you so much Tre. Earlier, when I published the random piece of music, it needed context!!! So I gave it some! Lol 💕
