About us

We are a hard working, family of eight. Swimming in the sea when we aren't busy on our small holding. Daddy dragon has to work away a lot, so this blog is to let him keep up with our adventures at home.

Belated blog Party post!



Welcome to our family blog!


We are a home educating, goat wrestling, chicken chasing, duck minding, turkey growing, strawberry eating family. 



We live up on a northern Orkney isle, and spend our days crafting and cooking when it is too cold to spend the day on the beach.


Come on in, grab a brownie, have a look around, and thank you for visiting!

    Beautiful family and blog. My daughter also home schools. She has 3 and one on the way. I admire all mommies who can accomplish so much.

    Hello - I am here from 2 Bag Fulls.

    Meaningful blog name.♥

    I homeschooled my kiddos (now 30 and 28) and it was the hardest and best thing I ever did.

    You live in such a cool place. We once vacationed in western Scotland and loved it there. The people were sooooo friendly and I loved the scenery.

    (You are off the coast of Scotland, right? Sorry about my ignorance.)

    Your photo of the little girls in the surf is so adorable.
