You lucky bastard!

Three years of being completely ignored are henceforth forgotten since you are now rich and here. I can’t believe you won the lottery. We’re still in Compton but I married Caroline not Jackie and you were invited. The place is much the same except that the Coach and Horses has changed hands. Who’s Ann!!!!!!!


> It’s amazing. We won the lottery in America and when I found this house was on the market we bought it. Everything has changed so quickly. The place is incredible, enormous rooms that just go on and on. Ann noted that it hasn’t been cleaned very much recently but we have servants! It’s a bit awkward dealing with them, but I could get used to it. Shirley is the housekeeper and full of news, her husband is the gardener and has yet to speak. It’s all a bit of a shambles actually, one brick from falling down, cold at night with the bathrooms in really odd places. One is still flushing from yesterday in marked contrast to another which is blocked. Still the first night in the main bedroom was glorious, and having to use candles made it even more romantic. Ann is brilliant, she actually knows something about this stuff and is going to research the building and history. We plan to restore the house to it’s former glory and support local charities and travel.
