    Description

    We are living on a small ISLAND off the west coast of Ireland. Inis Mór is the largest of the three Aran Islands. There are approx 800 residents year round. It gets very busy on the island during the summer with a few thousand visitors coming every day to visit all the historical sites the island has to offer.

    We have six children between the ages of thirteen and twenty-three they attend the local school on the island. We have a small potting boat and fish for crab and lobster around the islands. We also have a small processing plant where we cook and deshell the crab.

    Accomadation will be provided in our mothers house next door.
