Jenny and Mark's Visit

Jenny and Mark came to visit which was brilliant! We had a super time showing them around Singapore and introducing them to lots of food. They were really keen and tried chilli crab, indonesian prawn curry, thai chicken, Hong Kong noodles, chilli kang kong and much more! We certainly all ate well and of course we had introduce them to lychee martini's!!

We went lugeing and raced down the hill! Jenny got a good sneaky pass Mark to take the lead! We went to Night Safari and watched the flying foxes and squirrels as well as the fruit bats. We seen the elephants, the lions, the babarussa and more. We visited Chinatown and Little India and soaked up the atmospheres. The list goes on!

However, the most exciting thing was Mark proposed to Jenny and she said yes!!! She is officially going to be a Hogarth despite having been part of the family for years! We are so pleased for them and had great fun celebrating with them!
