Hi All

I¹m so happy that today I finally found that photo of our last meet up with Clare in HK last Oct. I have been searching high & low for it.

She looked fantastic, so healthy & fit. She had a beautiful glow about her, more so than ever before. And she looked so pretty in that dress. She was bouncing with energy. It was near the end of her trip & she'd done loads of walking round HK- The Peak, various trails above the
mid-levels. Etc... It makes even less sense of her illness.

After this photos was taken, she still had enough energy to insist that we walk the length of the beach. When we got to the river at the end, undeterred, she insisted we pulled out dresses up and wade across the other side not knowing if we were going to go up to our waist in the dark water. We nearly did.

Then we had a good old stroll round the back of Ham Tin, across the marshes to spot buffaloes in the dark & avoid the snakes. She wanted a look at her old flat, which we duly did and then ended up drinking Tsing Tao's out outside Ham Tin shop til midnight. Whereupon John the Dog passed by & the night ended with a spot of wild dancing up at his flat.

All just as it should be

Fond Memories...

Love to you all

Tania

Dear Tania,

Thanks for that. Reminiscent of the evening many of us got naked and leaped into the water around 3 am after overindulging at the Stoep. Clare told me that if I reported what she looked like bare-assed that I would be hunted down.
