What's in a name?

Gulliver stems from the protagonist 'Gully Foyle' from Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination. Xerxes is in honour of the Persian king 486 to 465 BC. Conroy is Morgan's maternal grandfather's surname.

Leaves in running water

In March, Gully and I were stuck in the rain. It was warm and fairly close to home, so we just played around for a while. I showed Gully how to send leaves downstream in gutter rivers.



I was absolutely delighted to see how he applied this knowledge on our recent trip.


Morgan and Gulls had a lovely time exploring the leaves and sending them down the stream at Singapore Zoo.





Gully became obsessed with civil engineering. Here he is examining the gutters in Kuala Lumpur:




In Singapore Botanic Gardens Gully carried a big leaf all the way down the hill just to pop it in the lake.
