I was born and brought up here ..My grandparents and great grandparents also..And those before them.. I have 8 siblings, 6 of them still live here. My three daughters are married and live here as well as his seven grandchildren. Oh, yea, I think my grandchildren will remain at the island. None of them are going to live anywhere else – I have never heard anything else . This is home for all of us – hele slekta

I wanted to live at Seagull, it is the sense of community, togetherness fellesskap – the interconnectedness in this small place. You feel you know everyone– feel so confident – it’s a strong social network. As long as I can remember I was with my uncle, herding the sheep, cutting the grass, throwing into the silo and the like. We kids were always with them – everywhere. If we need help of any kind there is always one there. Uncles who are carpenters, farmers, welds, boatwelds, everything. They are a really close-knit team, dad’s brothers”

I have learnt to fish from my granddad. He has told me about the secret places at the sea. Where to find cod, pollock, – the varieties of different fish species in the sea. My children have also learnt to enjoy this life from me. We have a fishing boat, and we have a fish farming firm on top of our job. So, our children have got all this. This is home, the place we all belong. I am so happy about it” (Guri, 41).
