LONDON-SINGAPORE

Terrace Houses, ..saw stone cottages, went on winding country roads, ...roit of flowering baskets....it was amazing....wonderful....with family in UK.

As it happened it was Zayne's 6th Birthday, a very special moment, .............baking up cake.

Going to School.................if the Parent's didn't drive the students to school..........................this was the way to travel.......Great Scooters.

Now these are the special scooter racks at the school......................but some of the children prefered to hang them on the fence.......

At the entrance to school.

Nana and Gran gave this Hero's Factory for Zayne's Birthday

Sorry about the picture being on it's side, ..................haven't learn't how to adjust. At Gatwick Airport ......................................................on my way home. ....The Welcome received made my trip one to treasure..............................for a long, long time.

Family  I am leaving behind in UK>>>>> will miss you all very much...

Arrived at Singapore........................Tiger Balm car.......................two brothers made up this very popular balm in the 1930's ............................This is the car which they used to advertise with............A beautiful theme park. ................Mansion demolished ..................but all the garden is still there  to visit.

What a great TIGER...................at the entrance.

SINGAPORE.....
Went to the Changi War Cementary..............................loving tended by gardeners...............I felt so sad to read the names .......................and the ages..........all young men in their 20's..................Hopefully ................it will never again happen.........
SINGAPORE ..................a city of highrise flats and apartments.........................Over 5 Million people live on this island..............................Everywhere you go there's places to have a meal........................people like to come out in the evening and eat.........................
Visited the Zoo at night..................saw many animals that only come out to browse and eat at night...........Then tripped around the island  on a bus tour ....................They only have one dairy farm.............grow orchids for sale to the rest of the world............Vegies are growing in greenhouses.....................but not with hydophonics........................just a spray of nutrients..........AMAZING.......Always hot and humid....................Great accommodation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,near bus stop..............always a taxi if needed............................They have the 2nd largest container port in the world........................it went for miles around the coast...................some cranes are operated from a computer....................do four at a time................turn around is very fast....................Most of the time there are up to 500 ships waiting to dock........................lovely deep water,...............calm because of the protection from islands...............
Back home............and ugh it was so cold..............
