Garden looks lush looks so much bigger can't wait to chill out naked in Aug ...lov staying at your gorgeous retreat John x

Oh wow, thanks. That was filmed Nov. 2009 and was a great experience. Still here and loving it. Thanks for your kind thoughts.

Time flies, soon be here.

I hope so too!

non-judgmental? Not if you are French

Well it took 2 weeks and 179 views before anyone answered and you are completely correct. You must be a fan like me... Nice one. Good old Barbra. I've seen her 3 times live, so I can die happy.... 🙂

Thanks Tim.

No I did not - I went to private school, had an average upbringing and had both parents at home, and a LOT of prostitutes - who like me - made a decision to go into business and pay tax etc. are NOT victims to this industry - HOWEVER - a lot of people in the sex industry do come though the care world and many are victims brought up with that victim mentality that they are not good enough by therapists that should know better. Harrods sells milk. Your local Asian shop sells milk,. Both sell milk. Harrods is on a completely different level to the Asian shop, Not all sex workers move and come from the same background so do not assume anything as all too often - you could be very right but also dramatically wrong. It would be wrong to assume all sex workers come through the care world or are victims.

You've always gotta laugh 😂 thanks for your comment

You ain't seen nothing yet babes! 😄

Thank you, there's more come, stay tuned

thanks. it is never dull....

Glad you enjoy it! It's never dull

oh those were the days - when you got to do all sorts of weird and wacky things. Mine was throwing Harrods cream cakes at one client. Never allowing him to taste any of them, just rub them all over his naked body. Thanks for sharing...

You really come across as a genuinely lovely person 🫂🥰 it's rare to find folk with the individuality and humility, and with such an interesting life. It's a joy to hear your stories. ❤ You didn't just listen to that guy, you actually noticed and picked up on his need for a kind ear, feel more than a faceless client but as a fellow human in pain. You are right about the dire need for more of this, as we need more warmth and connection. The kind words from a stranger, or just feeling like you are worthy of their time, could save a person's life. The 'luck' you find in your life is probably a little nudge from the universe to let you know you are on the right track 😂

Thanks for your thoughtful response. Too many people in life just take take take and give very little back and I am one of those who has always looked towards what I can do for others less fortunate than myself and what can I offer to help. Not ego, just as a human being. @@nedthestaffieegan3452

We would have watched Eurovision all together down in the hotel lounge and not me alone in my attic studio as we make a big thing out of Eurovision and all watch and giggle along together guessing who will win. 🏳‍🌈

It was many years ago John and everyone was definitely upstairs 😂😂unless I had too much wine !

If you are the Mark who is here for the C&B Workshop weekend - you are in Room 7 - the suite room... Looking forward to meeting you.

It's been here ever since I have and that's 24 years and it was about half its current size when I came here and I have had it pruned a couple of times - other than that. I think it could be really old, like even older than me ( and that's another guessing game...)

I meant to say well done Woody too.

I actually never feed it - it thrives there really well on its own. South facing.

You mean the bush or Woody ? 🥰

Thanks for your kind words. We have guests from all over the world and the power of the internet still astounds me. Keep watching, there's more to come. Keep well.

Ah thanks, I am really humbled by your answer, it's more than a hotel / retreat - it's a home and Hamilton Hall has the most wonderful atmosphere. Thanks for your kind words.
