Amiable Jottings

LL

I guess, LL, you wonder sometimes what life might have been like with me. You should. For certain you made the wrong decision.

Take this last week or so which I have spent in our home in Nantucket, Mass.  Yes, we have been entertaining which wouldn't have been your scene fifteen years ago, but you would have grown into it. I love people lots of them and despite what you thought back then, I am the adventurous and very social one, not you. One thing for sure you would never ever have been bored.

We have a home cinema in the Nantucket home (and the Florida, California and Oregon ones), and our own section of private beach (not owned, all beaches are public in Massachusetts), but private in the sense that it is not overlooked.

I am writing from our ranch in New Hampshire, having spent the early morning out for a ride with Ash and our head wrangler. Fall hasn't arrived yet, but it's on it's way. We were up in the tree line way above the meadows where we graze our horses. I love it in the countryside/wilderness..any countryside. As you know I grew up in the country and you never get it out of your system. As far as I recall, you have never learned to ride (horses that is!), but you would have gotten on just fine, and loved it.

We are away for  around four days on the weekend visiting at our home in San Diego. Takes about the same time in our Gulfstream as it does for you to reach the Canaries. Bit of a difference between the two though. Our San Diego home, which you have seen via photos I have posted in the past, is very, very modern in architectural style and also in the way it is furnished. I guess it is unlikely you will ever get to California in your lifetime, which is a shame when I think how much I wanted to do for you.

You 'scotched' that well and truly with your infidelity. I rather like the use of the word scotched - very appropriate don't you think😀.

That's enough for now - coffee calls. Have a nice day ma'am...as the man said.
