Grandma letting us see that she has changed her clothes since the last lot of photos, just in case you thought otherwise.....

And so, to Stanley (in another different outfit!).........

Lovely day, very warm...........

Stanley Main Street...........

Stopped for prawns at The Pickled Pelican......with a view..........

View of St Stephen's beach...........

These waterlillies are real...........

And so to the Military Cemetery

Hong Kong was unexpectedly invaded from the north and Allied Forces, local troops, police and volunteers were pinned back against the sea........

691 are buried in this cemetery - all casualties of the fight against Japanese invasion or subsequently as prisoners of war........

The last stand against Japanese invasion happened in Stanley village and Allied Forces, local police, local troops and many volunteer fighters finally surrendered on Christmas Day 1941. 4,500 people lost their lives in Hong Kong either in the fight against invasion or as a result of being interned........

One of the saddest gravestones in the cemetery...........Mary Willianson died in Stanley Internment Camp in 1942 aged 75 and her grandson, Douglas Harvey Collins-Taylor was killed in action in Stanley Village on Christmas Day 1941, aged 20 years........Lest We Forget..........

And, on our way back this lovely garden cheered us up again. Could do with a sit down, it's very hot...........
