Malta

Just had to say a big thank you to Dina as she has taken some photo's of Zerafa Street in Malta...on her blog for me....

Never thought anything could bring such memories back by looking at a picture...The fun we had there...

When we first lived there.... lizards and scorpions were something I had only heard of...but found them everywhere, ants, never forget we came home from Valletta to find our cupboard covered in them.... only had cold water, and an old parrafin stove to cook on, but they were the only downside's... we had wonderful friends from the RAF base and the Navy base as well, the flat was never empty... one of our neighbours was called Olympia, and for several years she sent us photo's of her family... and our landord Tony used to send calendars to his Three little Farrows as he called us...

We had a party for John's 21st, and some of our friends from England came out, one from the Merchant Navy, one from the Army, and some on holiday...in those days we did not have telephones, and the next week we had a newspaper cutting from home, one of the boys had told his Mum and the party was in print.... luckily they did not have all that went on!!!

When Dive arrived at the David Bruce Hospital in Imptarfa ... we were at one with all our Maltese neighbours, they had asked me nearly everyday for 2 years why I had not got children.....and they made such a fuss of him because he was very fair...... where did that hair go D???

So thank you Dina my day will be filled with Malta memories.....
