That applies to humans as well as our equine friends. On Long trips if I don’t get a break, with water and a walk about every couple of hours my aged legs and back tend to cramp up very painfully. 12 hour flights 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Well @Mark Ponyboy Peters a completely different country, also a completely different style of writing! Still very enjoyable reading. i wonder where all these disparate characters will fit in, ( and pair off?) I do recall from my youth that there is something about working with horses that can bring forth some romantic feelings that may be considered ‘different’ from the accepted norm. I look forward to developments..

Many comments about Rico having little interest in Kurtis - but this is only night number 1 What will morning and night 2 have in store? As an ex military officer I feel that the General would be mortified to hear that his son was the ‘school bully’! I’m sure the truth will out and the showdown could be interesting! Thank you for this intriguing tale.

A man obviously educated, as was I, in the era before the internet, mobile phones, tablets etc. All written on paper and pen/pencil. I still do too!

Oh dear… house hunting for a disparate family… I know how soul searching it can be just for a single man, but for a ‘family’ of 3 men of differing tastes and a lad with a penchant for all that is ‘nature’ I feel that or beloved author has captured the events perfectly. i do hope that our ‘family’ do move forward and purchase, the property has so much potential for developing storylines. One can only hope that Toby gets to plant his orange trees - they take many years to develop so there is great potential for more many chapters in this tale of amazing characters!

Well a beautiful scene to start the chapter 2 teens forming and ‘sealing’ a true friendship. I expect to see a more firm seal being applied sooner rather than later. A little knowledge of self-defence plays a massive dividend and when the reports circulate around the school, as I’m sure they will, that the ‘School bully-in-chief’ met his comeuppance then I’m sure that our hero’s standing will rise rapidly.

Aah! Memories of the furnishings of my early twenties… Oh youth where have you gone? Now sofas are places to sit and dozzzzz.. and beds are just places to sleep…. Memories, memories… 🤔🤔🤔

Nice looking boy….could put him in my frame!!

However with all the speculation about Mr. Black, also Johnathon - there was a ‘throwaway line’ that Johnathon had an appointment with Nathan… maybe, just maybe @Paladin will use this to start enlightening us all… 😎 😎

I feel that there is no need to await hopefully - Rick seems to have an unending flow of the sparkling white wine!

Another great chapter by @Paladin it looks as if the case against the ‘rogue’ solicitors has been investigated well by the police, and I look forward to how Natasha will wiggle her way through it all. As to the second drone footage which has not been seen by ‘our team’, I’m wondering if those involved in the earlier scam cruises, or others, maybe trying to get evidence some illegal action occurring on the day trip to obelisk bay, with the youngsters, albeit of age of majority. in which case well done the shark! However I’m wondering if Johnathon was just an unfortunate person in the wrong place at the right time, or was he part of a surveillance operation - that went dramatically wrong? Great writing @Paladin that has left me with many thoughts including a question as to links with What brings us together, with reference to the arrests.

Maybe lick someone to death!

I think a nice friendly but energetic Beagle, would make it an excellent family!

Thank you @Mark Ponyboy Peters once again, for this great tale. Many loose ends tied up a few left to be spliced, I hope, into future tales of T’ville. The biggest of these I feel is Casey, could there be a tale in the future about his wanderings and maybe redemption!!? I look forward to your future tales, I do ask that if they refer or rely on previous of your writings, that you maybe have reference in a preface so we can read again and get up to speed before we embark on the latest literary masterpiece?

Wonderful news - more tales from @Mark Ponyboy Peters are promised. 👍👍👍
