For LL in the UK

As it has been sometime since I gave you an update LL, I thought about now would be an opportune moment as I am within a week of flying over to Italy.

If you have been keeping an eye on me you will know that I am in New Hampshire with the occasional trip to Nantucket Island and Boston. The latter two being over the State border in Massachusetts of course.

I have been entertaining a series of guests here at the ranch - when aren't I ask myself. One has just returned to the UK. That lady was the one I first met in Bristol, UK way back in 2004. Life goes around in circles sometime. Later today I am expecting an American guest for the weekend. Should be fun if you follow the meaning of fun.

Life isn't that different in the small details but the bigger picture is far different to when you knew me. Wealth has distinct advantages over the opposite. One appreciates it more when you have worked hard for it, which I have plus a big dose of acumen.

I have a new crop of foals from various mares and some well bred sires that have kept me and my staff busy. Not so busy that I haven't had time for a little play. Beyond the bedroom that is. I ride out over my acreage regularly, a little shooting some at a local range. You have to get re-certificated.

I've changed a couple of the Grand Cherokees and a Ford on the ranch, plus I bought a nice Lincoln Hybrid for use around here. I seem to be changing cars in various locations quite regularly! Here, Florida, LA, Europe and the UK. With regard to the latter, I can't wait to get over and try the new Aston Martin that has just been delivered.

On top (now there's a thought) of the usual stuff here, I have been writing. I love it of course. Nearly finished book twenty one. When I think of your man's two book attempt it rather says it all about how poor your decision making was, doesn't it. Mine sell extremely well too.

Before being here n New England, I was in Florida for the winter of course and also over in California finalizing the sale of San Diego and closing on the LA property that I now use as home on the West Coast.

Beyond that I will over in Milan at the back end of next week then onto Switzerland and then to London.

All a long, long way from when I knew you...or you knew me LL. What a fool you were, but on the other hand I was undoubtedly the 'winner', so I have no regrets at orchestrating your departure. when I look at you know with that stupid grin on your face I wonder why I ever bothered in the first place. I certainly wouldn't bother now. Then again you would probably still be slim if you had stayed. Of course that is why I made sure you went because I couldn't trust you.

All a load of water (or some other less savoury substance) under the bridge now.

I didn't need the 'revenge' you spoke of. I knew that knowledge of my good fortune would be enough to make you 'sick'.

So, here I am far from you across the 'Pond' waiting for a beautiful woman to arrive. Surrounded by fantastic country side my two dogs, Ben and Prince and living a life you can only dream of. Life is for living LL. You can't get it back and you passed on the best opportunity you ever had in life. No wonder I think of you as an utter fool.

As they say though ...c'est la vie
