These lovely gardens are in Balzan, Malta. This is the president's palace garden. This gift from Japan is really lovely and makes a beautiful monument in this garden. It is worth a visit. The President's Kitchen Garden is also lovely. Children can see the vegetables grown there and a few farm animals. It was a lovely outing and we enjoyed it. This was a lovely family outing two months ago.
On Saturday we have been to the beach for the first time I guess this year. The children longed to swim but the waters were invaded with jellyfish and it was not warm enough to let two coughing children swim. We had a lot of fun on the sand and got our first sunburn unfortunately.
I would like to write more often in this blog but I am so busy going out with the kids that I hardly have time to come here. My husband also spends a lot of time on the computer as he is still studying. I hope I will have time to upload this week's photos. I am going to try to do some house work now as tomorrow a priest will be coming to bless our house, as is the tradition in Malta. After Easter all priests go out with Holy water to bless as many houses as they can. It is a difficult task as the population grows and the number of priests gets smaller. Some are even too old to visit apartments without elevators... but most of the Maltese catholic people wait eagerly for the priest to bless their home and they clean and get the house to look at its best for the occasion. Well, I do look forward for it but I don't make a fuss about the cleaning bit :) I just can't watch my children get upset inside on a bright sunny day! We all go out and try at least not to leave a mess.
Hope you all had a nice Easter!
