a year in Singapore....






Hello Family,
Well, we've almost reached the end of our first year as Singapore Slingers, very hard to believe, but true! We've really enjoyed exploring our new city, from the beach to Orchard Road to the jungle, and are pleased we made the right choice for our two water babies who have loved our new warm and swimmy environment....Kevin has had a hard first year, but is hoping things will ease off a little next year, while I am hoping to have a bit of a rest by returning to some part time work next year - had no idea staying at home was so exhausting! To this end, Kevin and I are finally tying the knot this summer, which will appease both our daughter's wishes for a conventional photograph on the mantlepiece and provide me with the correct work permit in one fell swoop! How romantic! If any of you are in SIngapore on 6th August, then you are, of course, invited to the Mandai Orchid Garden to witness the fun!
Children are growing oh so fast...Izzy turned five this year, and Felix was 2 last Saturday...took him to the opera in the Botanical Gardens for a picnic- doesn't every 2 year old wish for the opera on his birthday? We are flying home on Saturday for our usual crazy UK summer and can't wait to catch up with those there - and to those not there, we say, when will we meet again?
I attach a few photos from our year in Singapore, as we haven't been very good on the photo front this year. Lots of love to all of you,
Kirsty, Kevin and the little Slingers xxxxx

Congrats to you and Kev...and of course the Singaporean Government for their part in the proceedings! It's lovely to see the pics of everyone - the kids of course are growing up waaay too fast. So pleased you are all enjoying the change of planetary location - I can see why Izzy and Felix are really enjoying themselves! Hope you've had a good flight back to the UK and have a great time. Love and thoughts, C, D, P & T
