A striking and meaningful poem, Mick. I'm sorry for you lot having to put up with freezing cold, ice and snow! Our cold weather has not been too unkind to us Maltese; in fact these past few days have been rather warm and we can feel spring in the air. Regards // paul

Paul, Thanks for your comment and kind words. Interestingly the winter of 1961/62, which was a bad one too, well I missed it, as for the next two and half years I spent in Malta. We went swimming, (Military Bay as it was known to us way back then, just one hotel, up on the cliff overlooking the sea, doubt if I would recognise the place now). :( It was a very sad day when we had to leave, shortly after Malta became independent, I guess if I mention St. Patricks barracks you'll understand why I spent all that time on your beautiful island, (Once beautiful islands). Re the latter from what I have seen by way of photos, for me, tourism has spoilt the natural beauty of all three. I wonder how much it has changed the people

Up till a week ago spring was almost here, until Putin sent his beast from the east. Until man started pumping chemicals into the ground and atmosphere the seasons were pretty stable now they're all over the place.
