LONGEVITY

The consideration of what Home means to me continues. It’s in everything I do and all that surrounds me because I live in the small town where I grew up.

I went away for ten years and returned. I was happy to, because it wasn’t going to be forever

Seven years on and I still live here. Several of my closest friends who were with me on my 18th birthday, organised my 30th and celebrated my wedding. My wedding was at the church where I was christened, confirmed, saw my sister married and my father buried.

With such a strong sense of presonal history right here, I find reassurance, comfort and peace even in solitude.
