Sandbanks and Meanderings

Hi LL

Hope you enjoyed your no golf day and cocktails. We did...at the other end of the country, looking out over the Purbecks. Funny that I have bought a place here facing west over Poole Harbour. It was one of the places I was happiest in my life. The children were well under 10 and life was very good...as it is again.

Of course in those days I couldn't afford anything as grand as the place we own there now. We have wall to wall/ceiling to ceiling glass facing the sea and it is the most wonderful view to both wake up to and watch the sun set over. I have been introducing Ash to the area which of course has changed a fair bit since I lived there in the late 70's, after leaving the Navy.

Having seen enough of you (slowly putting on weight :) ) and FM as gross as ever, I thought I should shower you with photos of my wife. The lady who was there when you weren't. Just a few more to start with....I'm sure you may well recognise some of the locations, but they are named anyway.

You can probably see from my followers that I have wide ranging business and other interests now...not bad for that supposed 'boring guy' you once made disparaging remarks about. If you had only have known back then what you know now, but of course I couldn't trust you could I so it all remained....hidden. What a fool you were but then maybe not. You would have been way out of your depth living my life style. Why do you think I told you nothing of my friends, or indeed introduced you to them. I recall you thought I had none...so I succeeded in my small omission. Apart from that, after losing 'G' I had no appetite for too many others in my life..... at the time.

You live and have lived in another world, as far as I am, and was concerned. Once I had gotten the opportunity of looking into that world for a couple of years. I looked, I absorbed, I experienced and, above all, I was careful...more careful than you ever suspected. I realized fairly early on that you were dabbling elsewhere, albeit at first not in any physical way. But once you betrayed me you were on a hiding to nothing...and nothing is what you were left with, in terms of my wealth. A few baubles that have not been forgotten, perhaps. To slightly misquote a well know soccer club 'I don't do walking away', in this case from outstanding issues.

Your world. It is not one I wished to inhabit. That is partly why I tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade you otherwise. You were too entrenched in your world to take that chance or risk, undoubtedly through an inability to see the possibilities. You made the wrong decision, later realized it and told me as much after we had parted. You have lived all of your life in one place, hardly traveled at all, even now, chosen the wrong partners 100% of the time and ended up with what you have now, as you approach 60. I don't believe it is what you wanted at all. I opened your eyes a little to another world and I think elements of it overwhelmed your thinking. So, you stayed in your imperfect cocoon where you still reside.

You now have some idea of the world you could have inhabited from my jottings and meanderings through the last 7 nearly 8 years. Living for weekends is not the life you should have been enjoying 'mmmmm's' or not, to quote one of your recent comments. Imagine enjoying the homes I have, your own plane, various cars and all that comes with great wealth. It doesn't overpower my life as I am used to living with it, and I'm sure you would have come to terms with it. No chance now, of course, due to my good fortune in meeting my wife, as partial result of your actions. Every negative action has a positive reaction...and it sure did for me. In your case 'as you sow so shall you reap' to quote the Bible. Do you know the two things most people put as an essential requirement on dating sites? Honesty and trustworthiness. You failed on both scores.

So there you are, and here I am. I think I came out on top, don't you? But then I always knew I would. If you are devoted (or under the thumb) of your partner then surely you would find a way to be with him 24/7 more or less rather than wishing for extra weekend days. If under the thumb then I do believe you are trapped in something you never intended. There is probably an element of both in your life. Physically, he was never your type and still isn't. As I said on previous occasions I don't think he will make old bones and then where will you be? I have met many single ladies particularly between March 2004 and late 2006. None of them wanted to spend their weekdays alone, let alone run to and fro at weekends. So I think you are well and truly trapped. 

Given your age, the opportunities of meeting someone else, if that situation arises, will be difficult. So, the prospect is you will end up on your own, if something happens to the weighty man.

We are back in London, briefly, as we have to make a flying visit, literally, to the 'bleak' North. You will probably hear from me again from somewhere up there... ;)  

Back to where I was. A few more photos for your edification of people, or rather person, and places......

The last is a favorite photo and you may be able to see why. If not you are quite 'blind'. Remember it's me behind the camera in each of these shots. Then look at her eyes again. Think you will agree that I landed on my feet, I 'won'...you didn't. You are such a fool...I feel sorry for you, but now that is all I feel.

By the way what happened to that place abroad you were promised? Still waiting? ...................!

 Another blog in due course.

Ciao for now having tea in a certain London store :)
