Next Best Thing...

For LL

Your comment about 'the next best thing to being there', made me laugh. You were referring to Italy of course.

I would agree. Italy is by far and away mine and Ash's choice. But the silly thing about your remarks is that you have only been there once and that was with me. You certainly haven't been since according to my 'sources'. The other amusing thing is that if you know anything about Italy, no self respecting Italian would ever have a meat sauce with pasta. I have spent enough time there to know for sure.

We are in Cheltenham right now, but tomorrow drop in on Trish in Bristol en route to Devon for a couple of days, before heading east to Dorset and Sandbanks, Poole where we have a home (as you know). Next week, back home to Massachusetts and a busy schedule of catching up, writing and a TV appearance.

I often wonder what you would have made of a life with me. Time and the healing I needed changed a lot of things in my life. I regained my old self, which you never ever saw. Far from being a person who lives in a rut or embraces boredom, I am the exact opposite. Looking back you always suffered from short termism. Seeking the immediate benefit, rather than the long term one. That was a big mistake wasn't it!

What a life you might have enjoyed...the cars, the plane, the boats/yacht and the whole lifestyle...rather than reading and dreaming while you browse 'Hello' magazine or something similar.

Why oh why do you post photos of the food you consume? It really doesn't impress at all...and I can't think who else those shots are for. The photos of you and that tub of lard are completely unnecessary. I don't get a big thrill from fat and dumpy people.

At least I am up front. I post my photos to show you what you have missed and I will continue to do so. If only to rub in the fact that you were extremely foolish, had been given ample opportunity to change your mind and lost someone who truly loved you...once.

Out to dinner soon - two star Michelin.
