This will be the last Joe for a while <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will also be the last Josie and Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think that some of you have suspected <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That something was going to change <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How right you were <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a couple of weeks it will be the fifteenth anniversary <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the loss of our beloved father <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who disappeared at sea in mysterious circumstances <\/p>\n\n\n\n
About two years ago Josie and I agreed a price for a yacht <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which we have named <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sailor from Gibraltar <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the novel by Marguerite Duras <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you know both Josie and I are experienced sailors <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Selphine has often crewed her fathers yacht <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have been thinking about this for a couple of years<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And each of us are planning to write an account of our adventutres<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though I am best known as a poet Jackson Dennis are keen <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For me to write a travel book from another perspective<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The whole idea will be challenging even for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have all decided on our schedule <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daddy and I actually sailed to the US when I was seventeen <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which was an amazing experience clearly recalled<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People have asked me if I will miss England <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will miss England but England now tires me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a serious decay fanned by traitors <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This lovely country is being corrupted <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bad contaminated blood brings disease<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can and will be reversed but I feel the hunger is lacking <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all hope that the England we return to will be cleansed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that the wild creatures and the traitors tied to posts <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have not set an actual date of our return <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But our progress will be monitored by friends and importantly our immediate families <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Obviously we are able to be contacted but our replies will be slower <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But we will answer you all
Include us in your prayers
Joe Josie and Sephine xxx<\/p>\n\n\n\n
