It took a visit to @abbathemuseum in April to make me realise that @abbavoyage was still on in London, a city where I had been unable to travel for 1 year and a half.
Above all, it brought back the memory of Brighton 1974 and, with this, many personal memories rushed back to my mind along with the question of why I had never ever released any video in the very city where I had come in 2012 and then again in 2016, to fulfill my dream.
Listening to @abba I remembered all the dreams since I first set foot in the UK, in 1997, but also many sacrifices, pain and loneliness barely anyone knows about.
2012 was a special year in many ways and not only because @chelseafc won its first Champions League trophy on May 19th ...
In spite of hours and hours of unedited raw footage over the years, the memories had barely ever been shared with anyone... until 12 years later, when making my 2012-born godson discover all these familiar places @visitlondon was a blessing which put the story behind this short video in motion and reminded me how much of me is forever tied to the capital of England.
Abba's 1977 'Move On' song suited it perfectly, for many reasons...
Many thanks to the lovely @amandine_chrrd for her help capturing the opening scenes!
