When American Jeannette Saquet and Scotsman Graham McFarlane met crossing the Atlantic Ocean, neither were expecting to fall in love again. What followed is an epic love story.
When Jeannette Saquet boarded the Queen Mary 2 ocean liner in January 2017, she was 71, and excited for a new adventure.
Cruise ships are friendly places, so Saquet had no qualms about sitting at a circular table where seven others were already breakfasting, and introducing herself to the group. But as the group finished up their croissants and downed their last dregs of coffee, McFarlane announced he was off to play bridge.She was a keen cards player who'd been playing bridge on board the ship with Eileen and another player they'd met on board -- and they'd been looking for a fourth.
"I found Graham to be a most pleasant person and very much enjoyed his company, especially listening to his wonderful Scottish accent," says Saquet."I never imagined anything romantic between us till Eileen informed me after a couple of days, 'I think he likes you,'" recalls Saquet.When the Queen Mary 2 docked in Southampton, McFarlane and Saquet went their separate ways. McFarlane was attending to some business in England, then heading back home to Scotland.
"Graham was just wonderful to talk to," says Saquet."I really liked him as a person. We spoke about a lot of things, some very personal, some very general -- you know, the state of the world, and our families, and our backgrounds." On their way back from the airport, McFarlane suggested they head to see The Kelpies, two spectacular steel equine sculptures in Falkirk, Scotland.
Towards the end of the trip, Saquet and McFarlane traveled north to Achnacarry, which McFarlane describes as"a completely remote Scottish loch, mountains, deer in the garden. It's just a beautiful place."The view from Achnecary, in the Scottish Highlands, where McFarlane took Saquet on her first visit.And only a few weeks later, he flew to California, bought a motorcycle and drove it to Chicago to visit her.
