Plans made while I darned socks at Bedales now came into being. I had an au-pair situation in Bremen, North German and, having taken in all that ‘Gesundheit’ had told me to do, I booked a passage on Germany’s largest passenger ship, as I thought it would be a nicer way to travel across a rough or choppy Channel, hopefully avoiding seasickness. My decision was made and now was the time to begin my travel from our island.
