Home from two unforgettable weeks - first in St. John’s, then London & Brighton - where we followed two remarkable elders retracing their roots. In Newfoundland, 83-year-old Joan returned to her hometown with her husband, Alex, and family by her side. In England, 90-year-old Doug journeyed home with his daughter, Elaine. In both cities, they wandered memory-soaked streets, revived places from long ago, and shared stories that stitched past to present.

We were right glad to be at it and chuffed to bits to be capturing these stories with our amazing friends at Schlegel Villages

More soon. For now, here’s a glimpse behind the scenes. 🌞🎥
