(It's) Great Outdoors

The great outdoors is what we have in New Hampshire LL.

Mountains, forests and meadows. Horses and the wildlife. So here are a few photos of them...no wildlife, unless you count TB, the guy with the horses.

Most, but not all, that you see above is on our land, excluding the lighthouse of course and the shore! Maybe some from Oregon next time.

In the meantime here are a few of France some near Carcassonne where one of our bolt holes is; others from La Rochelle and the southern coast.

So October in Spain for you. Sure are following that rut of yours. Nothing much has changed in your life since I first met you in August 2003. More or less still doing what you were then. I always said you were a small town girl with an outlook to match. Not a risk taker either. If you were you'd be here - New Hampshire that is.

Nothing is achieved in life without taking some risks. My life is testament to that and it's a very good life. I don't think you have any real idea what my life is like, compared to yours.

I actually feel quite sorry for you, strange as that may seem. You were on the cusp of something quite exciting when I thought you would share your life with me. But you slipped back into your old ways and your comfort zone. I bet you really do regret not taking up the opportunity to return when I offered it to you in early 2006. You thought I would leave you 'high and dry' in your words, if you had come back. Trouble with that thought was it was your way of thinking...not mine. I'm as good as my word. When I said I wasn't going anywhere, way back in 2004 in Florida - I meant it. I never had that commitment from you...so here we are. You in your small corner of the world and me in my much broader and more comfortable life.

I was talking to E yesterday, my sister in law, she liked you all the way up to 2005 and said what a shame it was that you did what you did. Such is life I have learned. Not all women are like my late wife or my present wife.

Your destinations are not unique to you, by the way. Here are a few of St Andrews from our visit earlier this year...not too long ago either.

Next big trip for us is to Singapore. After that another to Australia - we call it our summer holiday when we get way and shut off most electronic communication.

Have a nice day ma'am
