Dear Keith - good to hear from you - I am now living in Adelaide, South Australia, married to Ian Lumsden for 41 years and we have a son Scott - his wife Alison and 3 little boys - a daughter Sarah-Jane and her husband Rod who are living in London - we are off to see them on 3.8.01 - I have never been cured of the wander-lust!I have been back to Singapore numerous times - to visit my Dad who died in 93. It is a very different place to the one we knew and had so much fun in way back in the 50s. They were really happy carefree days
with lots of good memories. I hope life has been kind to you - hopefully you may now be in or close to retirement. Hope you have enjoyed good health as we have. We will have a brief stopover in Singapore on our way back from Britain so will once again feel that wave of nostalgia as we walk the streets. Last year we spent 4 weeks in Vietnam and in the far north and many of the small towns and villages I was transported back to the Sinapore we knew. We travelled with an eco-tourism group and lived in a basic fashion which was good. I have been busy researching Ian's family history - Lumsden is a very old Scottish name - and one day decided I might try my Dad's history but did not get very far. However, I am glad I did so and you were able to contact me. Cheers for now - Love Jan
