I am getting excited now as its only 3 days until I see my gorgeous sister , for the first time in over three years!
She lives in Singapore,South East Asia, as the children will all tell you, we often discuss Catherine.
She has three children and is expecting a baby in November.
Singapore is a wonderful country. I went to visit my sister last ten years ago , before I became afraid to fly.
The thing I like the most about Singapore (after the weather) is the clean and well behaved society.People would never dream of dropping litter, or fighting in public. They show up most respect for visitors and make them welcome and looked after.
The people of Singapore work really hard and this is the normal expectation.
Singapore has changed considerably since I was last there, my sister says I would not recognise it with huge building projects. The second best swimming pool in the world (according to some poll I read recently)opened last year at the top of a very tall hotel built in the shape of a cruise liner, on top of concrete stilts.One of the most luxurious hotels in the world, Marina Bay Sands.
They have built the pool to look as though the edge falls over the end of the building. Infinity pools I think they call them.
Singapore is set right on the equator,the invisible line that circles the globe.
Singapore has no winter or summer. It is hot and sunny all year round, usually 30 degrees.
My sister lives permanently in the summer holidays :-)
I wonder what she is making of the grim summer holiday weather we have had so far.
I keep hoping she moves back to England one day but I think she finds it too cold now. She must also be the only person in the world that I know who hasn't heard of Jedward! Passing them in the airport last week she sent me a text saying "Who are Jedi? Some funny looking boys with sticking up hair just walking past"
Anyway I have 4 days to catch up on the last three years and store up memories for the next three.
I wonder which children of Brookhill will travel the world when they are older?
