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.

The morning walk to the school bus



A tired hatchling


It is hard to be a hatchling.

Days start early.

Sometimes, at just 4am.

And days are long...

So very long, if you do wish to nap.

And nights are busy, extra busy for this hatchling, with a drainage bag that leaked, a pump that beeped, and cough that went on and on.

So, now she sleeps. 

And bedtime is still two hours away. 

Advent day 5: Letters to Father Christmas


An exercise in wish fulfilment, writing "I want letters..."

Hatchling number 6 wants a glitter unicorn and world domination.

The older hatchlings want a baby hatchling.

And an assortment of things from telekinesis to extinct animals.

Good luck Santa, you have your work cut of for you!
