YOU
Name: Miranda June (nee Shepherd) Cohen
Age: 38
Occupation: Novelist
Disabilities: None
Hobbies: Poetry and classic rock music
SO
Name: Arthur Gabriel Cohen "Art"
Age: 40
Occupation: Free-lance photographer
Disabilities: None
Hobbies: Reading, writing lyrics and rock music
Current children: Helena Margaret "Lena" (15), Cassandra Jane (12), Louisa Imogen (10) and Isabella Grace (6)
Others living with you: Our two nieces Eleanor Skye "Nora" (16) and Matilda Claire "Tilly" (13) live with us after their parents died when Tilly was only 2. Also, after my best friend died we took in her daughter Marianna Ruby (5).
Pets: we have two dogs Maya and Millicent (both female)
Housing
Type: We live in the countryside in a house we built specifically when we adopted our nieces - we need a lot of room for a family our size! An architect friend of ours designed it (he won several awards for it actually) and we couldn't be happier there - it is phenomenal and has changed the way we live and the communal areas really bring us together as a family.
Location: The Scottish Highlands (we're pretty remote so I home-school the girls with a rather large group of other children in the area who are home-shcooled - other parents also help with the teaching and we all have our different specialities. It really is a fantastic thing for the kids - they're around the other children but also live in so much space.
Land owned: Several acres - theres a wooded area where the girls have tree houses and dens and a stream where we fish in summertime and swim.
Bedrooms: 12
Bathrooms: 12 (told you it is a big house)
Other: we have a gym, media room, library and study room
What is/are the household’s religion(s): Unitarian Unviersalism
What language(s) do household members speak: English is our first language but all the children are bi-lingual - we speak fluent French and both Art and I speak Flemish and a little Spanish
Do you travel? If so, how often and where to: all over the world very regularly - about once every two months - one of the benefits of home-schooling is that we can travel whenever we want and can teach the children abroad. We regularly go on road trips throughout Africa.

Gender(s): girls
Age: all under 6
