Last weekend we managed to find a quiet evening to visit the Botanical Gardens. Different organisations from around Singapore have each decorated a Christmas trees with around 150 in total. Some have been very creative. Hospitals decorated trees with drip bags and disposable gloves, nurseries decorated trees with children's colurful gardening implements and embassies decorated their trees with flags and tiny dolls dressed in national costume. We were fortunate to time our visit with a school bands Christmas concert which we enjoyed listening to while having our picnic tea. Not long now and we'll be back in Australia. Only another four parties, one BBQ and one high tea before we fly out on Sunday evening.


Tis the season to be jolly busy...

Hi Bertrams,
ReplyDeleteI have inspected the servants quarters at "Batten Place" - really quite nice but terribly messy, which will no doubt be one of your initial jobs before you are allotted more onerous tasks of looking after the incumbent residents and their children.
