Comments for Play2survive's Weblog http://play2survive.wordpress.com We have to "play to survive" environmental disaster - not by consuming resources and chasing false promises (advertising) but by focusing upon what makes humans happy, healthy, safe and without fear. This blog is about doing this in our life.

I think that learning to live more wholely within our bioregion is essential.

I am a descendent of Isabella Tait, b. 1840, daughter of Thomas Tait and Isabell Pottinger, in Deerness. I believe the family lived on Holland farm in the 1840s-1890s, possibly longer. I don't know if this is the disused Holland farm that is linked to the museum? I notice there are some Holland farms still operating on Orkney. The Holland Farm the Taits lived on was at Deerness. I've always been drawn to this strand of my family history, being someone who likes solitary places not too far from the sea that return me to myself. Orkney just seems beautiful. I love the sound of what you're doing there, and wish you all the best with your projects. I was chuffed to find a photo of disused Holland farm. I'd love to see more photos of Deerness and the farm if you have any now or in the future. Nicky G Adelaide, Australia Hello Malcolm,
