We have permission to take Ben out of school for two half-terms so that he can be home- (or boat-) educated. Fortunately his school, Thomas Mills in Framlingham, is being extremely positive about the whole thing, although they did have to go to County to get clearance, which is a bit scary.
On Thursday we saw Ben's head of year who confirmed that it would be best if he finished school at the half-term holiday. Guy will be on study leave from his GCSEs, Sam is leaving M&CM at the end of May and I finished my contract with Norwich Union yesterday, so from the beginning of June we will all be at home. Of course, we could all go and live on the boat, I suppose. It would be good practice, but will everything be ready by then? Aaargh...
Kalessin of Orwell is a 33ft Westerly Storm. In 2006-8 we sailed her down to Portugal, into the Med, and home through the French canals. In 2011 we explored Baltic Germany and Denmark. After Sam's stroke we cruised gently on the East Coast, the Netherlands and Brittany, and in 2021 sailed to Cornwall and back. In 2024, following Sam's death, Camilla plans a memorial round-Britain cruise
