As we get on in age some of us are making the effort and the time to see old dear friends. My husband’s Singaporean friends from university days- a couple - Satku and Rose, did just that. We first met up with them over dinner at a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. A few days later they joined us for lunch at our Home.

As they got out of their taxi, they first inspected the Tree Posters outside our Home. Then walking through the gates they said “Let’s take a look at the garden. They remarked” What a nice combination of leaves..hmm the Lotus Pond..the flower in the pot is in bloom for us!“ Then walking round to the side of our home, “Thaya you have surrounded yourself with Lotuses!” Walking next into the house, we headed for the patio. Satku picked up the guitar and began strumming it. Lunch followed, lots of chat and more strumming of the guitar into the afternoon.
