Mum's visit has had lots of highlight. We've been to Swan lake on Ice, dined at a hawker centre, found my great great Uncle's grave at Kranji War Cemetery, visited Little India, Arab Street, the Botanic Gardens, Orchard Road shops, checked out Raffles Hotel in the colonial district and been for a few swims in the pool.Today we watched the girls run in their Cross Country at MacRitchie Reservoir. Alice came first in her age group and Felicity cam second in her age group. Both were delighted with their achievement. I've enjoyed spending a week with Mum and our last thing to do is High Tea at Goodwood park. Then she hops on a plane and tomorrow I start work full time as the MarComm / Membership Manager at the Australian Chamber of Business. So no more playing for me...
thanks for the reports.

ReplyDeletesomehow I was expecting a WWII death. What did Walter die of?
ReplyDeleteI don't know the answer to that. Uncle Charlie would know. I will ask Dad to ask him.
