I thought I would take this opportunity to catch you up with some of the photos we have taken since arriving in Singapore.
I am happy to forward our address and home and new mobile phone numbers by personal email if you would like them.
So on to the photos - beginning with our arrival at the Changi airport, complete with teddy given to be by Bronte at school, and Kafil with his huge cigar given to him as a work farewell by colleagues.
The next shots are of the breakfast dining area and swimming pool at our centrally located serviced apartment. We loved the convenience of city living, however after 4 weeks the lack of space was really getting to us.
........ 
The helliconia at the Botanical Gardens were spectacular as you can see.
And on to our Maria Avenue home, we have already had a couple of barbecues in our cosy front garden. We installed a ceiling fan under the verandah, to ensure the of enjoyment some outside time.

.... 
Most people live in flats condo's and apartments here, so the house is a bit of a novelty amongst our new friends.
.... 
..... 
The down stairs rooms, as you can see spacious light and airy.
.... 
The main bedroom and the landing. I had to call on the services of a handyman to put up our pictures and such, as the solid brick walls, were too difficult for Kafil and I too mess with.
I am still loving being a lady of leisure, I just finished reading a brilliant book "three cups of tea"
written by Greg Mortensen. He was an American mountain climber in the 80's and spent lots of time in Northern Pakistan trying to conquer K2. He started to build schools in remote areas in an effort to provide education especially to girls. The book is inspirational if you have time give it a read. He is not your typical "missionary" type do gooder.
Until the next time we meet
