And that was very confusing to me because we were frightened, all of us.

We didn't know what was coming next.

And I think my mother wanted me safe next to her.

But I didn't know if I was there to comfort her.

I didn't really understand any of it.

Of course, being very English, I was sent to boarding school, a new boarding school, straight after my grandfather's funeral.

My mother was coping with an awful lot.

My aunt and uncle were in intensive care still in Ireland.

They didn't attend the funeral.

They were grieving for the loss of their identical twin son.

There was chaos everywhere, and my mother was coping, just barely coping.

So to have me probably sent to boarding school probably felt that it was safe for me in that environment.

Of course, for me, it was difficult, but that's what we do in England.

It's love, definitely.

You know, my father, again, as the way the world works and the stars are aligned,

My father built a very unusual house on the neighbouring island where I live now on Eleuthera.

My mother and aunt bought these plots of land on Windermere Island and they both built houses.

My aunt and uncle lived in a very normal Caribbean holiday home.

My father built an Egyptian mausoleum.

That's right.
