Home again

Home again, home again, jigetty jog!



We're a bit jet-lagged!

Singapore to Perth

A very pleasant 5 hour flight arriving in Perth at 2pm, to be met by old family friends the Leckies. After the tropics of Singapore, the 10 degrees rain and windy weather was somewhat bracing.



B stayed for 2 nights with the Leckies at Churchlands and D stayed with friends Damon and Andre at Victoria Park. We toured the delightful city of Perth.

London to Singapore

We left Tuesday evening at 9pm, lost 7 hours and arrived 13 hours later in Singapore at 5.30pm. A lovely time in Singapore, despite the continuing jetlag.

Here are some Singapore photos. A very pleasant city.

Staines revisited

It was good to revisit Jackie and Eric at the Thameside home, for a few hours prior to catching a taxi to nearby Heathrow.

We went for a walk in the threatening weather, to the lock just down the river and watched the long low narrow river boats.

Oxford

Our last day for an excursion, so we went by train to Oxford and spent most of the day on top of a sight seeing bus, dodging heavy showers. Christ Church Cathedral is awe inspiring.

Independence Day celebrations

This Sunday a visitor to Sulgrave could hug a husky, get up close to a bald eagle, eat spit roast pork, learn the Lambeth Walk, mix with people dressed up for the 1940's, view an American Indian display, jitterbug, watch Appalachean dancers, and listen to Winston Churchill.

Norfolk Coast

We stayed in an old pub in Thornham - a town of flint-stone houses. We walked along the beachfront at Sheringham. We travelled on the Poppy Steam Train Line from Cromer to Holt, and met an old friend from West Pymble days, Judy Agnew (nee Gilbert). We returned via Oundle.
