Prince Charles and Camilla are in Brunei for a 24 hour visit. For the last couple of weeks the British Community here has been abuzz with talk of who been invited, who's going and who's not to the reception hosted by the High Commission. Opinions have been expressed in national newspapers and for sure it's not pretty behind the scenes. And as for the ladies, the decision "to hat or not to hat" must be agonizingly painful!
We actually always have a bit of Charlie in our house all the time in the form of strawberry jam! For us it is simply the best and the same goes for the marmalade. In Supasave a jar of jam retails for B$8.95. Interestingly we saw a Duchy shop in Singapore and the same jar went for S$16! We don't know how it retails for in the UK and we would appreciate if any of our friends could let us know now much it is wherever they live.
On a final note, it's International Day at school next Friday. One lady who is helping to organize the day in Kindy asked us if we would do an Ireland table to "join" up with Great Britain. We're more than proud to be Ireland but the second request went down like a lead balloon. Now I really wonder why we didn't get an invite to the reception of the year?
