Hi Loz, I have been there, just looking for my photos.

Enjoy your time there. Singapore I mean, I would love
to go back, think there will be a lot of changes. We watched
a program the other night about all the new projects they have
built to be able to provide all the water needed. Very interesting.

I do hope they are not too big.

I don't have any photos of the graves stones. One of the wreaths there was
laid by Maggie Thatcher the day before we were there

I've been there before too Q . . . but since then I have discovered a rellie was burried there, so going back to get a pic of his headstone. One of Dads brothers was burried there, and I have a pic of his headstone.

Singas has certainly changed :)

We have a big wedding on Saturday, but the pre wedding party is on Friday . . then the dinner dance at Raffles on Sunday evening so its going to be a very "social" visit :)

We spent an Anzac at Kranji a few years ago . . was very moving.

It's actually a very peaceful place Diz . . . but sad to read the young ages of so many of those remembered there.

Least I will be warm for a few days . . :)

:) L xo
