Hi Mum & Dad I had a panic when i entered the site as you've already changed the current location to SA I thought what they doin there not supposed to leave yet but its 4.30 here now so you must be on your way to the airport.Hope you enjoyed Singapore and are ready for all the excitement of SA, it might be a good thing the weather being cooler it will tune you in to the home climate, snow has been mentioned again possibly early next week but as we know they dont always get it right. I couldnt believe it when susan e-mailed I asked her if hayley was in shock!!
Off to the gym trying to stay focused bodies been aching again is it all worth it!!!
We did book a table at the labworth for june but thats all so far.hayley giggled when she read your message cat must have her tounge. Sams just got home from school he's finished for half-term now he will be out and about next week.
Off I go yipee love you Debraxx

hHi Debra we are on the move again quicker than we thought.... I work this morning ,thinking of thing and wore Dad so we could discuse dates, as you do !! any way we leave tonight for the airport and our plane leaves at 0200hours, so we changed our plans for the day, We stay around the pool after breakfast...then it only started to rain,sooooo we went and packed, phoned The Raffles to book afternoon tea,we've been and now booking our accomodation in South Africa, if it all goes threw we will be staying at the Holiday Inn, for 3 days , then we will decide what after that. So its very cold there , we saw the weather and it does not look to good, I can't believe the waiting time at the Labworth ....but May !!! have you got any booking under your belt? Can you believe Susan is going to be a granny again , she is catching us up. I sent monkey a text ...our phones have not been working in Singapore. We are both looking forward to coming home its been wonderful, but we miss you all so much, the time has not gone quickly at all.... it only took 3 months ( dad said that bit) Debra you were right we are 8 hours difference in time. South Africa will only be 2 hours. lots of luv talk soon from SA..xxx

Here we are in Singapore, arrived safe and sound after a tearful goodbye from Pat and myself, the flight was great, Singapore Airlines ....first class, best so far ! Our hotel Raffels Plaza is Fantastic....very swish, we were playing with the curtians all night , every thing works on remote control ( I have pluged George in aswell) the view from our window over looks the harbour and the singapore skyline. Singapore has changed so much since we were here 15 years ago.... there was only Orchard st. and not much more, now it is a wonderful city !!! so grand. This is our first day , after breakfast we took the hop on and off bus around the city, then a river boat (Sanpan) up the Singapore river...its all sooooo interesting ,we are having a ball. Aggie has been missing for 4 weeks now, today she popped up,she took us in this Chinese cake and coffee shop yummmmy !!!We are now going back to our hotel for alovely cooling swim,its 30 degs today.will talk sooon luv to all xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi grandson no 5...thanks for your letter ,Yes Sam it was funny with the frogs down the loo....and we might have peed our pants if we stayed there much longer. mum said you were at Pauls the weekend, thats nice for all of you to be together. I bet the horse enjoyed you brushing it. Did you read about me getting into Pats bed instead of Poppy's.... now that was funny!!! Poppy went white water rapids, you should do that next, down the river Rom would be a good place to start. Sam we are realy enjoying ourselves and you can read my journal when I get back....I write in it every day, if I did'nt, it would be hard to remember wot we've done from one week to the next,,,,,dont know my name most days...lots of luv Ethel xxxx
