I have quite a large family, and we're all getting together soon.




I enjoy having a dip in the lake and going fishing too.

One of my brothers owns a large swathe of land which he uses to practice the steeplechase on.

One of my sisters has her own farm of the bovine variety.

Another of my brothers is in a band and normally sits at the back of the stage.

Another of my sisters has moved to Paris and sells eggs there.




Can you tell me who me and my family are?



HINT 1




Another of my brothers has performed in the Edinburgh Tattoo.




HINT 2




Another one of my sisters sells down-feather duvets.
