Thanks

But if they are changing addresses each time for security is it best not to store an old address to use when I am not near my Ledger Nano?

I'm quite new to all this

They're ~~not changing the addresses for security, but for anonymity~~ changing the addresses for both security AND anonymity. It just makes it harder for people to track how much bitcoin you have, using a block explorer like the blockchain.info[1] explorer. Should you re-use an old address? That's completely up to you. Remember: The bitcoin blockchain is public. So if a certain person knows your wallet address, he/she can look it up online to see how much bitcoin that wallet is holding.
