Sunday 4 June
Mate switched on the radio this morning for her customary fix of Sunday morning on Classic fm, to hear of yesterday’s terrorist attacks on London Bridge and in Borough Market, only two weeks after the atrocities at the concert in Manchester. Yet again, general election campaigning is being put on hold as a mark of respect for those affected. My people feel some relief that they are now somewhat removed from this crazy world.
Meanwhile, cruising plans are put on hold once more, while arrangements are made for travel to Brussels to offer support and sympathy for Mate’s oldest friend and family at another funeral. Saddened by news of this untimely death, my crew are thankful anew for this opportunity to live their life doing what they love, with me, here and now and for however long.
