Housing
Type: we live in the countryside in a house we built shortly after Ben's birth so it is fully adapted for his needs and safety
Location: 5 miles from Bruges, Belgium
Land owned: around 3 acres of garden

What is the household’s religion: Unitarian Universalist
What languages do household members speak: Michael and I were both raised in Britain so our first language is English. We learned French and Flemish when we moved to Belgium and the girls both grew up multilingual (speaking English, French and Flemish). We have all learned to be fluent in sign language as well for Ben's sake but he can also lip-read a lot of what we say in English.
