Janis, Amber and Kara have been living with us since I retired in June. Their plan was to return to the catamaran Ladycat, currently moored in Gran Canaria in September, but now Janis has found a job in Poole and intends to stay here.

Although it has been great having the family here, having five in our little house has become a bit crowded, so it’s good news that they have found a house to rent, but the best news of all is that its only just a few yards up the road, so as Kara put it, ‘we can still come round and watch telly everyday!’
Last night we were visited by the girls friend from Southampton, Francesca and her father Adrian. With term time only a week away the girls need to be registered for school ASAP, After three years of home schooling that is going to be a bit of a shock.
