Funny old thing life. Your pre-conceived views of mine were wildly inaccurate. I have wealth health and happiness - not a bad achievement considering your actions 11 years ago. Do you have the same? I think not.

I recall you saying that I was pottering about in a new build in the UK, on my own. I guess you could have called it a new build. So, in that respect you were correct. However, it was a little bigger than your place. I reckon that is about 900 sq ft - mine was 6,000. As to being on my own, well you had that totally wrong. I haven't been alone since March 2005 and I am sure you will know the significance of that date.

You were right on another score too. Women who wanted 'a little satisfaction' - there were plenty of them. Seems a lot were attracted to the older, more experienced, guy. I had no trouble there as you now know. Then on top (wrong choice of words :)) of all that I get to photograph beautiful women. Most of them want to show the 'best' of themselves either for the camera or for their boyfriends/husbands/partners either as commissions or just my 'friends'. Either way it has been a joy to work with them and in some cases on them!

You said I was lucky once, No, not lucky, but determined and persevering more like.

I suspect my wealth had something to do with the ladies, where we enjoyed mutual pleasure, but not all.. So I have never been in 'need', if you know what I mean! All considered me one of the nice guys. You seem to go for the rough or rougher type, looking at the few you have encountered and some if not all...yet, have turned out to be not so nice guys. You miss opportunities because of your impetuousness and also through before very poor decision making. You missed the biggest opportunity of your life back in 2004/5.....didn't you. You regret what you did and the decision you made as well. That is a fact.

Spain again soon - nothing changes for you. No sense of adventure from you or him and the clock's ticking, too. I am off to the Far East and Oz soon for a month or more. I live the good life, the very good life. Not so sure about yours though. I guess you were never destined for it. The offer has been held out several times but you have never had the courage to grab it.

You know, they say that 'working class' people are the biggest 'snobs' in the way they classify themselves and the way they envy more successful folk. They never seem to be able to get out of their 'box' in the UK. Not the case where I live. Yes there is 'class' but it's based on success or the lack of it, rather than some sort of social standing.

I am going to post some photo galleries later in the journey - take a look they aren't all ones that feature my commissions and 'conquests'.

We had a great if brief weekend in London. Good food, good wine, good company and good conversation all that one needs really. Now I'm whiling away the journey home here on our own jet winging our way toward Boston, Logan and home. Not bad, wouldn't you say? No airline food either and a pretty staff member to serve it up to us.

Just noticed the location - see below - now leaving the UK!
