You write so eloquently and we appreciate it. I'd love to have a few of the plants and flowers identified. I have the orchids figured out but there were so many interesting others.

My eldest has now been at university in Sydney for 2 years and is finding the reverse experience. You want your children to be people of the world but you also want them to have a sense of "home". I think what we will have to content ourselves with is that they will feel at home in many places.<br /><br />ClareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-10937616480487180892014-04-10T14:10:15.100-05:002014-04-10T14:10:15.100-05:00Lovely pics of Singapore.

It's just plain weird to be from two places and calling two places home. My parents are here in Spain too, though, but I do feel the heartache and the happiness of speaking two different Spanish variations.

I also really enjoyed the pictures. It is looking increasingly likely we'll be moving back to Singapore this summer, and it was so nice to the pictures of some of my favourite places - especially East Coast Park.Katie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314743496161353695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-11296685193902060172014-04-10T02:15:41.440-05:002014-04-10T02:15:41.440-05:00I recognise those BBQ pits!
