Would the journey be worthwhile

I have just checked the weather in Hong Kong is Cloudy and 66 degrees. That makes me feel a little bit better sitting here freezing in Northamptonshire. Hope you all had a great Xmas and the new year will bring you riches beyond your wildest dreams. or at least a tax rebate.

Hello George.
At last ... someone has posted a new message !
Things have been quiet.

As I'm the 1st for 2008 I would like to wish everyone visiting our island site,
A HAPPY NEW YEAR for 2008.

It sems so long ago that my wife Carol and I left Stonecutters ..
In fact 37 years ago in two days time.
Haven't seen any communication from anyone who was actually on the island when we were there in 1969 & 1970. Are you out there ?
Looking at the changes to the island and in particular the construction of the bridge, don't think I'd like to be living there now.
I think we were lucky to of had the opportunity to enjoy the island as it was.
Regards, Colin.

Well Collin. just to make your year....

Hi Pony,
Saw your Ooops! posting and thought I would mail you. What dates were you on Stonecutters and in what capacity?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,
Colin

G'Day Colin and Tony, It may have been after Pony left that you, Colin arrived on the island that, in later years became known as 'Fantasy Island' by the poor guys stuck at Tamar on Hong Kong Island. I saw the pic of you, Colin on the go-cart which brought back some fond memories of Mr (Lofty) Rimmer was OIC in 1960 as he was the guy who gave permission for the purchase of the carts. He was relieved by Lt. Norman Hannam in 1962(?).
With Ron and Jill Day, Yvonne and I met Lofty at his house in Pompey after having left the R.N., sadly he is no longer with us, nor is Ron Day who with Jill was running a successful holiday caravan park near Bournemouth.
