Silver Anniversary Book
Posted: Tuesday, 06 November 2007 |
The hardest day in my life was when my parents moved our family from Shetland to Midland, South Dakota. The second hardest day of my life was when I had to say goodbye to my Mam, Dad and 3 brothers; when I left America to move home (finally!) to Shetland.
My parents are celebrating their 25 wedding anniversary on the 14th of November. In all my life I have never heard them argue. I'm sure they have had different opinions over the years, but I have never seen them cross with each other. Reflecting on that, I feel enormously lucky to have been raised in such an atmosphere. I could not have hoped for a better upbringing, despite the transatlantic move that scarred my childhood.
I designed a book (not a photo album) with images chiefly from my most recent visit to their beautiful farm in southern Minnesota. This is my gift to them, on their Silver Anniversary. I thought I would share it here on this blog.

I live like a hermit in an island paradise, planning my survival of the impending apocalypse.
My mother is a Sheltie and my father is American. As a dual-citizen, I have lived between both cultures. I only use my UK passport these days. I made the Atlandic leap, back to Shetland. This is the only place I ever considered 'home.'
