The first time I went to Paris , April 2009 with my friendCaroline, we were in AWE , and climbed to the top of the dome.Not many people knew you could do this . Actually nor did we,until we found a doorway, which takes you either to the crypt orto the steps to climb up . A nun pointed us in the right direction!SUPERB !! My other card came from Singapore and sent to me by a lady who lives in the Philippines. She was there recently on holiday with her French boyfriend :-) .. Maria and I connected I believe through Instagram, and then her blog,
Connections to the world, which is super ,
all about the postcards she receives and the beautiful stamps too.Unfortunately we do not have any pretty 88 pence stamps to put on our postcardsto send to her :-(
The Merlion is a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, used as a mascot of Singapore. Its name combines "mer" meaning the sea and "lion". The fish body represents Singapore's origin as a fishing village when it was called Temasek, which means "sea town" in Javanese. The lion head represents Singapore's original name — Singapura — meaning "lion city" or "kota singa".
Singapore is another place very close to my heart ♥
I lived in there for 3 years 1963 -1966 , when my dad was
in the Royal Air Force , unfortunately he passed away
in 1967 after we returned , so it was my last place with him
that I have memories off.
A big thank you to you both..
