Important news

The colonel will be taking a short rest to recover from raised blood pressure after a group of our US cousins offered to buy Fortescue Towers and have it shipped back to Texas as an exhibit in a theme park. He will return when his apoplectic rage has diminished and we can can coerce the old boy to emerge from the study where he has taken up residence with a bottle of port and his elephant gun, waiting for the next "damned yankee to poke his head above the parapet!".

Any suggestions as to how to lower the Colonels blood pressure and convince him not to damage Anglo-American relations would be appreciated.
