I was already a proud mum that my eldest son decided to join the Royal Navy, he has successfully passed the selection process and is currently waiting for a date to join HMS Raleigh. If I was proud before I am even more proud as I saw the support that HMS Ocean, it's officers and crew have provided to the people of Dominica.
We had been privileged enough to be able to make a home on this beautiful island but unfortunately as Hurricane Maria took away access, power and water to our home we had to be evacuated on Thursday. Whilst awaiting evacuation we spoke with other British Nationals who had firsthand experience of direct support, comfort and helicopter rides from HMS Ocean's crew all of whom only had positive thinks to say. We shared the 'lunchboxes' provided by the ship, enjoyed the best cheese and tomato roll ever and even managed to laugh that one of the boxes contained a Jam Sandwich in true Brit style.
Thank you to everyone who has ever provided this type of support during your Naval career, you will never know how great it is to see someone wearing your uniform when you are in a time of true crisis. This news is fantastic for the island:
