This will be the last Joe for a while

It will also be the last Josie and Sephine

I think that some of you have suspected

That something was going to change

How right you were

In a couple of weeks it will be the fifteenth anniversary

Of the loss of our beloved father

Who disappeared at sea in mysterious circumstances

About two years ago Josie and I agreed a price for a yacht

Which we have named

The Sailor from Gibraltar

After the novel by Marguerite Duras

As you know both Josie and I are experienced sailors

And Selphine has often crewed her fathers yacht

We have been thinking about this for a couple of years

And each of us are planning to write an account of our adventutres

Even though I am best known as a poet Jackson Dennis are keen

For me to write a travel book from another perspective

The whole idea will be challenging even for me

We have all decided on our schedule

Daddy and I actually sailed to the US when I was seventeen

Which was an amazing experience clearly recalled

People have asked me if I will miss England

I will miss England but England now tires me

There is a serious decay fanned by traitors

This lovely country is being corrupted

Bad contaminated blood brings disease

It can and will be reversed but I feel the hunger is lacking

We all hope that the England we return to will be cleansed

And that the wild creatures and the traitors tied to posts

We have not set an actual date of our return

But our progress will be monitored by friends and importantly our immediate families

Obviously we are able to be contacted but our replies will be slower

But we will answer you all


Include us in your prayers
