 At http://gwulo.com/atom/22775 I posted a photo labelled ShekO Beach by my cousin (the little girl in this picture) when she was trying to identify the pictures after her mother died. Andrew Suddaby replied that it was actually Big Wave Bay. I have now found the sequel in another album and lo, the legend on the back is "Big Wave Bay" written in my aunt's hand (the mother in this picture.) The smartly dressed mystery man in the background of first picture is now sitting on the rock  perhaps telling a story.

As well as doing all our laundry Chung worked hard and long to keep the billet nice and clean.  Here she is working away with her brush while one of my room mates slumbers on.

For those who remember the excellent and honest Amah's who looked after us.

Chan Wai Kwong and little Tai. I once left my two weeks pay in my shirt pocket and it was returned to me by Chan.
