Description

We are Ian & Helen. We have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and a 4month old baby boy. We own
a 400yr old traditional Irish thatched Clachan. With a small organic veg
garden and a few chickens. We live near vibrant cities and great sandy
surf beaches. We have an easy going attitude. The sympathetic restoration of our house is taking time and using traditional skills. Helen is an Artist and Glass maker and Ian is an expert craftsman/builder.
