  1. I agree and reuniting with his children will take time, and won't be because of his new wealth.
  2. Glad you enjoyed the pretentious restaurant @Davide. I enjoyed writing it. Martin is still in shock so the news of a title is just one more thing. Besides he's not much into titles.
  3. So much to unpick here @Summerabbacat. Martin may not become his own matchmaker in a traditional sense. Rick is in a solid relationship and will settle down, sort of. Not all the turmoil in Martin's life back in Sydney, will be unpleasant and some possibly entertaining. Natasha! I'll let that one unfold.
  4. Even Bert accepted the logic in retaining Terry's name. Terry's role in all this is truly commendable, especially the way he totally accepted Martin as his son while knowing wasn't.
  5. Unfortunately, I am embarrassed to admit that did happen to me, and yes I have been a bit more "manscaped" since then.
  6. Martin was right about being out of bed showered and dressed before the others. He looked in the refrigerator and set the breakfast table with juice, muesli, yoghurt and milk. Finding some eggs, tomatoes and bacon he decided to make scrambled eggs with toast when the others emerged from (what was obviously now) their room. He turned on the automatic coffee machine. When they appeared, the lovers were wearing smiles that even the apocalypse wouldn't be able to remove. Breakfast was a hit an

    Chapter 2

    Things seem to be going too well in Joy city. What are our two nasty academics up to and what are they planning for our heroes?
  8. Your positive reaction is justified. Friendly threesomes have never worked for me, but to each their own, or is that to each thruple their fun? 👍
  9. That took a while @Summerabbacat but no spouse or children to introduce. You need to wait to find out anything else.
  10. He never met that man or went to his island.
  11. No toe sucking is planned, at least not anywhere near a camera.
  12. No one has much control over that particular box.
  13. A lot of these questions will be answered in the next chapter, @Summerabbacat. Martin, Simon and Rick toasted to "It's like the three Musketeers". They have forged a friendship Now how will that work out?
  14. As much as Martin might like to stuff everything back into the box, he won't be able to do it. Yes, more on the other items in the next chapter.
  15. Thanks @Cane23. There were hints of an attraction between Simon and Rick from the time they met at the airport. "Good morning, I’m Richard but family and friends call me Rick." Martin held out his hand "Hi Richard, pleased to meet you". "Please, it's Rick." Simon took Rick's hand "Pleased to meet you Rick". Slowly pulling his eyes away from Simon's, Rick responded "the car's over here. I'll give you a hand with your luggage". A very astute observation. Martin will need support and who better than Simon and Rick?
  16. I'm pleased that this little visit to England has evoked pleasant memories for you.
  17. Well spotted with both. More explanation of both coming soon in the next chapter
  18. Martin will try to keep a number of these boxes closed but it won't be easy.
  19. Yes some things are moving quickly. More on Rick and Simon in the next chapter.
  20. Yes, Martin found himself comfortable with the family and that did influence his decision. More on Bertrand following Martin's life in the next chapter. Lots more turmoil for Martin.

    Chapter 6

    What's not to love about Axl and the caring and now softer Ollie. ❤️ Go Team #Oxl. Finish Phase 3 and go straight to Phase 4.
  22. Martin wasn’t at all sure what to say to Simon the next morning. As it turned out he didn’t have a chance because by the time he’d finished his shower, Rick was there with freshly baked croissants to add to breakfast. After a leisurely but quick breakfast, Rick hurried them off to Buckingham Palace for the colourful, crowd pleasing Changing of the Guards. At this time of the year the crowd was sparse so their elevated position in front of the fountain and facing the gates of Buckingham pala
