S7 Ep3: Kirsten Comes Home Jun 14, 2021

Show notes

Living abroad is tough when you're a close family. The 2000s saw Kirsten's family grow and despite the regular visits between continents the loss of JC amplified the tyranny of distance. And so in 2007 Kirsten and her crew packed up and moved over to St Annes-on-Sea for a year to live and work. It was a treasured time for Milly.

S7 Ep2: Losing JC Jun 06, 2021

Show notes

In the 2000s there was another pandemic wreaking havoc on the world: it was called SARS. Milly and JC were on their way through Singapore when JC contracted the virus and it had a devastating impact on the family.

S7 Ep1: A New Millennium - Bugs, 9-11 and Babies May 30, 2021

Show notes

Where were you when the clock ticked over to a new millennium?

Milly and JC were having a quiet celebration with their old friends, Bob and Barbara. The opening of the Millennium Dome seemed a bit much for the Queen but Milly remembers the hysteria surrounding the so-called, 'Millennium Bug'. Milly has a trip to Australia to spend time with her new grandson and it's while she's there that 9-11 shocks the world into a new reality.

Please enjoy this new season of Mondays with Milly.
