I am not the biggest fan of Christmas Day.  Each year I spend the build up to Christmas feeling rather homesick, reliving memories of good times in other places where I had previous lives.

However can one really be anywhere more idyllic with a perfect temperature of 18 C, the skies so clear and the air feeling so fresh.  Today is perfection itself.  Being outdoors uplifts the worse of moodsand days like today remind me why I returned.

Glorious sunshine, beautiful natural light, this is perfect Malta.

Today I feel privileged to be here, a country where many fight for the right to stay here

Would you consider buying this beautiful book , the full proceeds of which will go to support the Archbishop’s fund to help these families and their children.
