A small apology
Entries to this blog have been a bit sparse over the last week, because I'm halfway round the world at the moment, attending the Liberty Sponsors' meeting in Singapore. It's a tough job, I know, but they asked for a volunteer. It's very warm and rainy here, but fascinating. The Singapore approach to municipal bedding plants is also interesting: in England you get some begonias, daisies salvias and the like. Over here it's 20-foot palm trees, cannas and the fabulous Strelitzia or 'bird of paradise' plant.

Interestingly enough, the nearest tube (MRT) station to this photo had a bougainvillea climbing up it and in flower... As you say, not exactly Monument.
