If you have been wondering why all has gone quiet
on the Glamour Drops blog,
it's because I've just spent the most glorious week in sultry Singapore.
Laksa for breakfast, walks through botanical gardens,
mango ice-cream for lunch
and Singapore Slings at Raffles in the early twilight.
(Well, you just know I would have to fit a cocktail in there somewhere...)
Yes, it's a tough gig. Such a fabulous little spot.
As soon as I can catch my breath,
I'll post some images and thoughts on this tropical city of many cultures,
for to me,
that is the most fascinating part.
It's a place where food reigns supreme
and the people are incredibly friendly.
And now, I have returned to some wonderful new projects
and a very busy time of year in Melbourne,
with a myriad of design exhibitions & openings.
And after a week of summery sunshine,
it's exciting to wear the gorgeous winter clothes again!

Yes I thought you might have slipped in some Singapore slings at the Raffles!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back x
I couldn't resist! Have been to Singapore a few times before, but never found time to enjoy a Singapore Sling. Worth the wait though - they are sublime. Now, to try and find the real recipe...x
DeleteLooking forward to seeing your pics! Welcome back. x
ReplyDeleteSingapore is such a little country but so fun visit.
ReplyDeleteI love their Singapore chicken rice,
you've got to try it. And love Laksa too especially if it is served real hot.
Oh yes, very delicious - both of them!
DeleteWelcome back, nothing like a little time out. I've heard that Singapore is very orderly but this...well, it puts the Swiss to shame! Sylvia
ReplyDeleteHooray! There you are! Well, now you know officially that I am a worrier. :) And Singapore! Wow! I have only been to the airport a few times and it is one of my favorites with all of the plants and massage booths everywhere. I have always heard that the eats are divine. Can't wait to see more when you can...
ReplyDeleteGros bisous,

Divine indeed - we planned to spend a whole week eating amazing food and that is exactly what happened. Somehow, we managed to lose weight at the same time - an even more marvellous arrangement! x
DeleteOh, I'd love to spend some time in Singapore. It's the new Hong Kong, apparently. Can't wait to see your pix! x
ReplyDeleteI adore Singapore,it's so clean.
