September

There's just too much to write about September!  At the beginning we were in Gloucester, where we went canoeing, saw where "Merlin" is filmed, fed ducks, fish, goats, rode donkey's at the seaside and picked Blackberries.

That'll make a huge Blackberry Pie!

Then on to Singapore, where we stayed with our friends Melinda and Ivan and their three girls.  We went on an open-topped bus tour of the city, had McDonalds in Chinatown, had a Singapore Sling at the legendary Raffles Hotel, looked down on the city at night from Marina Sands, went to the Night Zoo (at night!) and ate a Singapore breakfast at the market.  It was an experience never to be forgotten, thanks to our generous hosts!  After a jam-packed holiday, we headed back home, where the children were excited to see all their toys and we were pleased to fall into our own bed!  The day after arriving home, William even found the energy for Sports Day at his school.
