In a house on a hill in Kentucky!

I live on a hill ( small ) in Richmond UK , ( belive me with the UK rain ,living on any hill is a luxury , along with 12,000 other folk all clinging on ,

, 200 hundred years back only Dick Turpin( Highwayman ) and a few revenue men lived here ,
Oh, and our local legend "Gentleman Jim " another highwayman , he did the imortal "stand and deliver " with his pistol raised , the only passenger on the stage coach was a pretty young girl , the only gold she had was a locket given by her dead father ,so Jim the gentleman settled for a dance with her , and she kept the locket ,
his downfall was on another robbery he aciddently shot and wounded a Duke , and later wrote a letter of appology ,
very few could write in those days ,
Doh, indeed he was the 2nd son of a nobleman , it's the curious "heir and spare" syndrome our royal families still practice today , the spare in case the first born dies , and it's got to be a male ,
Just see what you folk are missing without a Royal family ???? , ( it's all in the breeding just like race horses )
folk I admire " the Dutch " ( Netherland/Holland ) I sayed in a hotel 30 ft below sea level ( the sea was only 1/2 mile away ) I didn't sleep easy ,
