Lovely lovely people
Terrific cuisine
All I wish is to return again one day

Typo Jan first you make every body change their calender to attend 2015 and then you type 2016. Maybe if you were not sitting in Alejandro's lap you might not make so many typo's.

Jan Allison

Paul - between you and me I think Maurice has had too much sun or too much something tonight lol - it's 2016 when I intend to visit again but of course you can meet the others for the trip Maurice is organising lol:-) HugsJjan xx

Ok I give up Jan if you are dead set on it then 2015 it is. I guess I see your point you really are not getting any younger. You know what you said about thinking you had a trick knee and finding out it was your left breast. Oops! Was I suppose to keep that to myself. Never mind then.

Maurice Yvonne

November 1, 2014 at 4:49 PM

I didn't quite get that. Were you speaking to me? Where am I and why am I talking to my IPad?

Jan Allison

November 1, 2014 at 4:45 PM

I admit I'm not getting any younger but my memory isn't that bad that I keep forgetting what I've just said.I admit I'm not getting any younger but my memory isn't that bad that I keep forgetting what I've just said. Hugs jan xx Hugs jan xx

Jan means 2015, it is very hot in Malta. The sun affects ones memory and then if you factor in Alejandro...

Jan Allison

November 1, 2014 at 12:22 PM

It;s idyllic Richard we will be returning in 2016:-) Hugs jan xxx

It sounds great, maybe a place for me and Kate!

Maurice Yvonne

November 1, 2014 at 4:20 PM

In fact Dan, Jan was too shy to add that she is organizing a poetrysoup get together in Malta in 2015. Others suggested 2016 but Jan insists 2015 or Bust. In fact those were her exact words I think.

Jan Allison

November 1, 2014 at 12:20 PM

I would highly recommend it Dan:-) Hugs Jan xxx

Tim Smith

November 1, 2014 at 5:16 PM

Jan Allison

November 1, 2014 at 12:18 PM

Jan Allison

November 1, 2014 at 12:15 PM

Perfect acrostic and Malta sounds beautiful and exciting.

Maurice Yvonne

November 1, 2014 at 4:40 PM

Malta does sound beautiful and exciting that's why Jan is organizing a poetrysoup meeting in 2015. A bit quick I thought but Jan insists we simply must all see it. I wonder if it has anything to do with Alejandro the pool boy.

Jan Allison

November 1, 2014 at 12:14 PM

It is simply wonderful:-) hugs jan xxx

Dorian Petersen Potter

October 31, 2014 at 5:59 PM

Excellent acrostic Jan! Malta sounds like a very beautiful and tranquil island to get away from all. And it looks to me like you had Had a great time there ;) hugs! xxxx D.

Maurice Yvonne

November 1, 2014 at 4:43 PM

In fact Dorian Jan insists we all meet there in 2015, she says she wants me to be the guest of honor. My Jan goes on doesnt she?

Jan Allison

October 31, 2014 at 6:01 PM

Reads like a lovely and exciting place..Enjoyed reading your work about Malta..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara

Maurice Yvonne

November 1, 2014 at 4:46 PM

425,001 if you count Alejandro the pool boy. Maybe that is why Jan is organising a poetrysoup meeting in 2015.

Jan Allison

October 31, 2014 at 6:00 PM

It's absolutely stunning here Sara - it is about the same size as the Island I live on but our population is only 85,000 and I believe on Malta it is around 425,000! Hugs jan xxx
