....which I will buy when I win the UK National Lottery.... you will be welcome to come and live in, Grace.
It will be in the USA, on the Gulf Coast of NW FL, which I have visited several times and fallen in love with. I don't know why, but the place just draws me. I've travelled in India and Thailand and a few places in Europe, but somehow that place has my heart.
I'll be able to move to the USA if I win that much money, because the strange US immigration laws allow someone that rich to move there, to invest their money. Otherwise (short of marrying a US citizen) I wouldn't be able to do it (I know, I've looked into it!).
I'll have at least three guest bedrooms for PB regulars to come and stay and enjoy themselves in the cool, clean environment, which Grace, of course, will have interior-designed for me. I'll have land enough for a horse, something I've always wanted since I was a little girl, or maybe several horses so that we can all go out on a ride.
I'll have a dog, another long-held and unattainable want - and I'll have cats again. I had to rehome my cats last year when I moved here, one I'd had for 16 of his 16.5 years, and he was so elderly and frail that he didn't live long in his new home.
There will be a pool of course, and a lovely long Florida Room/conservatory. Oh and a hot tub. I've seen them, but never been in one!
And most of my land will be a nature reserve, to preserve NW FL's native flora and fauna, which is unique to that region and disappearing fast, especially the native carnivorous plants.
We'll all go out to the Gulf one day and rent a boat, and go to find some wild dolphins. I know a place where we can do that; I did it myself 2 years ago. It's not legal to get in the water with them, but hey, maybe we can find somewhere we can do that. I have a few contacts in the park service and biology departments there.
And I can do something else I've always wanted to do - wear shorts all year round :)))
