A huge apartment with three bedrooms (our bedroom and en-suite were bigger than our whole apartment in Jardines del Sol), a very large lounge with a great bar area, a separate dining area and a large kitchen plus maid’s quarters’ There were fabulous views of Aberdeen and surrounding hills. This is the view my character, Davina, would be seeing when she lived near the hospital on Mount Kellett in my novel The Shanghai Circle.
Here are some various photos and memories of Hong Kong

Will Diana make it? No a bit too young. I apparently tried it but learnt years later and di have the certificate but lost it
Quite forgotten who this is
Happy in the speedboat with a handsome Chinese boat boy
Not sure whether this is Don
Probably not - he always succeeds
Not sure who this is. Not me as I learnt to water ski in Miami many years later
Uncle George adrift. He was actually in the Navy in WWII when a lot younger!
and some great pictures of Hong Kong in the 1970’s taken during one of George’s visits
