Calvin lives on Vatersey, an island in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.The island is very small. it is kilometres long and five kilometres wide, and thereare fewer than 100people on the island. Calvins father works as a fisherman. He usualy leaves the hause before six oclock in the moirning. His mum always spends the dey at home .She often does the housework but that isnt the only thing she does. She teaches Calvin and his three sisters too. Vatersey hasnt got a school so the children learn at home. Calvin and his family sometimes watch TV in the evenings, but not very often, because the picture is hardly ever very good.
