The Family

We're a pretty typical family and as such we'd like to stay anonymous, and enjoy our life and our opinions quietly, privately.
So, for the purpose of this Blog we will simply be The Man, The Woman, The Boy and The Girl and our home will simply be The Farm.
And like most of today's families, we're more complicated than the 'average' nuclear family - so we'll also refer to The Big Girl who will appear in our lives every school holiday and most long weekends.

The Man is a chef by trade, who jumped his particular career ship to work in copper smelters for a few years.

The Woman is a journalist, editor, photographer, self-employed businesswoman - all of the above.

The Kids are four, five and 10.

When I speak about 'we', I'm not talking about the royal 'we' - I'm not that pretentious.
You can't be when you're living in a house whose decore consists of half bare rock and half 70s brown and orange melamine and lino.
The we is The Family - we are living this 'change' together, and it's a hell of a ride so far.
