Another early morning start for activities as the hired boards had to be back by 9.00am, so the surfers trekked down to the beach. A grey morning so nobody around, waves were good but the water temperature wasn't as cold as I feared. The hungry surfers returned for brunch over which the next activities were planned. As the weather was brightening and the tide out, it was ideal for beach games. Teams picked and Go Pro camera set up so everyone's efforts c...

House lovely and big, weather sunn...

We have spent the last few days obsessed with looking at the weather forecast for Malta. It changes everyday there seems to be a good chance of thunderstorms, heavy rain and strong winds this weekend but at least it should be warmer than at home. With our waterproofs packed we set off early for Heathrow, but being half term the traffic through Oxford was not a problem and with the easy on site parking made a smooth journey to Heathrow .Meeting up with Simon and E...
