Take a close look at the clever map of the UK above with British musicians’ names located near their hometowns.

After a year or so in the U.K., Group member Kristen returns back to Canada today with her horse, her dogs and a planeload of enduring memories!

Here she is with Kimberly and Corin Mellor at the legendary Mellor Studios in Blackburn, just west of Sheffield when we visited her last July 24.

In honour of her return and the melancholic state this departure will undoubtedly beget, I have prepared a Spotify playlist for the flight back. The songs are all by artists in my collection. They reference places or things in the UK 🇬🇧 that Kristen visited or might have visited in her time there training in Dressage.

I hope Kristen and each you each enjoy this mini- musical UK travelogue now and into the future.

I have titled the playlist “On Returning.” That is the title of brilliant song on my favourite LP by my second favourite band- WIRE 🇬🇧.

First the song, then the 42 track, almost 3 hour playlist. It will get the plane almost half way across the North Atlantic.
