Many of you who have known me a while, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Know that I have had many changes and major knock backs in the last few years </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been TOUGH. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really didn't think I would</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
get through it all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to everyone who helped me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Splitting up with my husband, battling in courts, selling my home,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
recovering from the second bout of severe depression, surviving major changes.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting back to work was a huge help . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't really think I could do it, but I did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has helped me as it took my mind off things (to a certain degree) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The night times are the worst . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still struggle at night . And even though it is nearly 3 years since he left . It is only 9 months since our divorce . </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Big life changers </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well I am about to have another HUGE change..<br />
<br />
Will keep you all posted..<br />
<br />
Hugs to you all .<br />

I went to visit my cousins in Malta last year and had no idea where they actually lived and only had I seen and chatted to them on Skype once. ♥<br />
<br />
I was amazed by this village. They call it a village but it was like a small town to me. <br />
<br />
So full of charm and architecture. <br />
<br />
I was out with my camera from day one!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Malta celebrates all the time and with fireworks. <br />
On the sign you can see that there are 3 Firework factories nearby but Malta has 34 and 1 in Gozo!!! They DO NOT sell to the public. (Well done) . <br />
<br />
The displays are amazing , not normally a lover of fireworks at all , but I really enjoyed the shows they put on , with music too. <br />
<br />

place , didn't know what to look at first. <br />
<br />
It is a wonderful place with lots to see. <br />

I thought this was funny , naming a house "COLIN" but it could be after someone special. <br />

Lots of statues were put in place just for the Saints festival, they celebrate all week and right into the night. <br />
<br />
Fireworks start in the morning , and the band plays in the <br />
afternoon and evening. <br />
<br />

Tarvit ponds is an interesting greenspace. It’s character is defined by the relics and remnants of the designed landscape that was built around the Old Tarvit House (demolished 1963).<br />
The ‘hidden’ garden comprises of ponds, stream, bridges, an old ice house, old yew trees and the (3.5m high approx) old garden wall which forms the northern boundary of the site. A network of paths lead around the old gardens and links to nearby housing and paths out to surrounding countryside. The part of the greenspace closest to the road and houses comprises of mown grass with play area and mini/kickabout pitch.<br />
There is excellent signage/interpretation and the space is actively managed for wildlife with bird boxes and decks next to ponds to allow easy access to watch waterfowl.<br />

<span class="mw-headline">The church of St Matthew ..</span></h2>
The church of St Matthew dates its origins to 1674. It is important not to confuse this church with the medieval and smaller chapel of St Matthew located just on the right hand side of the church. The larger church was finished by 1682. The church was blessed by the parish priest of Qrendi Dumink Formosa on September 12, 1683.<br />
<br />
On April 12, 1942 the church suffered extensive damage to the point of nearly collapsing as a result of a direct hit by Nazi bombs during World War II, it being so close to the nearby military airfield. The church was repaired by architect S. Privitera. A new facade was built and two small belfries were built instead of the central belfry<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The cave at "Il-Maqluba" is beleived to have collapsed in 1343 after Malta have experienced one of its most severe winter storms ever, possibly accompanied by an earthquake. This is a natural depression formed by the collapse of the underlying limestone strata, known as a doline in geological language. It is now a sinkhole, collecting rainwater from a three mile radius. This water is much needed to cater the needs of its thick vegetation whilst allowing its access supply to penetrate the rock formation helping to maintain underground water supplies.</span></div>

The bus took us around the coastal line to <br />
Dingli and then Rabat. Loved using the buses. <br />
<br />
<strong>Rabat</strong> (Maltese: <span lang="mt" xml:lang="mt"><i>Ir-Rabat</i></span>, <span class="IPA" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">[ɪrˈrɐbɐt]</span>) is a town in the Northern Region of Malta, with a population of 11,497 as of March 2014. The name of the town is derived from the Arabic word for 'suburb': الرباط, as it was the suburb of the old capital Mdina. <br />
<br />
I just walked and took photos ♥<br />

The Bust Below is of ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Michael Spiteri, known as Kilin, left a literary heritage that will now be enjoyed by the Maltese people. Kilin’s seven children have worked tirelessly so that their father will be given the honour he deserves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kilin, who died eight years ago at the age of 91, will now be remembered with a bust inaugurated at the entrance of the Rabat primary school where he received his initial formal education. The bust is the work of sculptor Joseph Scerri from Rabat. Michael Spiteri will be best remembered for his fine writings, mostly in articles in newspapers and the many literary works he published, such as his best known ‘Fuq l-Ghajn ta’ San Bastjan’ in which he recounts his childhood memories in Rabat. Kilin also published a considerable amount of books including novels, poetry and about his favourite subject – environment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kilin’s commemoration took place on the initiative of his children and the assistance of Minister Evarist Bartolo and author Trevor Zahra.</span><br />

I decided to go to the Catacombs as I was here,<br />
pretty eerie walking around by yourself but I did it!!!<br />
<br />
Rabat is home to the famous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabat,_Malta#Catacombs" target="_blank">Catacombs of St. Paul and of St. Agatha</a>. These catacombs were used in Roman times to bury the dead as, according to Roman culture, it was unhygienic to bury the dead in the city Mdina and parts of Rabat were built on top of an ancient Roman city. The Maltese Catacombs were never meant to be hiding places during persecutions or as living quarters.<br />

Marsaxlokk is a picturesque fishing village on the south-east side of Malta, it has an ancient history being the site of a Roman temple dedicated to the goddess Juno, but no ancient remains are visible. It is rare as a Maltese seaside village in that it has <span style="color: red;"><strong><u>no modern</u></strong></span> buildings such as hotels spoiling it and none of the traditional housing has as of yet been destroyed to make way for prefab rental apartments. <br />
<br />
On sundays there is a fish market where one can get the best fish available, a particular local favourite is the Lampuki(only when in season) <br />
<br />

The Fish Market is amazing. <br />
<br />
But it isn't only A Fish Market , it is <br />
a market for everything. <br />
<br />
Fruit and veg, jewellery, Maltese produce, clothes, Spices and many more delights.<br />
<br />
My cousin , chose her Fish and her veg , asked the stallholders to keep it for her, to collect later!<br />
<br />

The sight of the traditional luzzu's (fishingboats built according to a design dating back to the Phoenicians) and the tranquil surroundings make this a very pleasant place to have lunch .<br />

The only blemish on this near perfect picture is the powerplant that for some unfathomable reason had to be built on the side of the bay rather than out of sight in the next bay where the ultra modern cargo port is located. What were they thinking ? They have ruined another bay which is called Pretty Bay , it isn't Pretty anymore because of the huge Cargo Port they built there .. shame they could of used another side of the Island. Oh well I enjoyed both places. <br />

<strong>In 1805 Sir John Soane, the architect responsible for the rebuilding of the Bank of England, completed his own, typically idiosyncratic, contribution to the craze: his Tivoli Corner, a spherical enclosure tagged on to the Bank at the junction of Lothbury and Prince's Street. It is a tomb-like, functionless space enclosed with weighty neoclassical columns and it can be entered from the north or west. Its roof is a portal, open to the sky, around which is carved a dedication to the citizens of London.</strong><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Founders' Company began its existence as one of the early medieval "guilds" or associations formed by members of various crafts or trades in the City of London. Their main purposes were to defend the craft against unfair competition, to assist its members in their work, to help those in distress and to promote and control education.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>Founders were workers in brass and brass alloys or tinplate known as "Iatten" or "laton", producing small cast articles such as candlesticks and pots and pans. Their workshops were situated in and around Lothbury, a street that still exists under that name.</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "arial";"></span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong>From 1508 to 1987 their parish church was St. Margaret Lothbury. Before that time, the Founders were associated with the church of St. Lawrence Jewry, and indeed there is evidence to suggest that the medieval guild grew out of a parish fraternity known as the Brotherhood of St. Clement, based on the church of St. Lawrence Jewry, which served the spiritual and material needs of its members.</strong></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The parish of All Hallows Bread Street was combined with that of <strong><u>St Mary-le-Bow</u></strong> (the church mentioned at the beginning) in 1876 and the church demolished in 1878, under the </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Benefices_Act_1860" title="Union of Benefices Act 1860"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Union of Benefices Act 1860</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. The site and materials were sold for £32,254 and the proceeds used to build All Hallows East India Dock Road. The furnishings were dispersed to several churches – the pulpit is now in St Vedast alias Foster, the organ case in St Mary Abchurch and the font cover in St Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What we consume has become the defining feature of our lives: our economies live or die by spending, we are treated more as consumers than workers, and even public services are presented to us as products in a supermarket. In this monumental study, acclaimed historian Frank Trentmann unfolds the extraordinary history that has shaped our material world, from late Ming China, Renaissance Italy and the British Empire to the present. Astonishingly wide-ranging and richly detailed, <i>Empire of Things</i> explores how we have come to live with so much more, how this changed the course of history, and the global challenges we face as a result.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Echoing his journey in <i>London Orbital</i> over a decade ago, Iain Sinclair narrates his second circular walk around the capital. Shortly after rush-hour and accompanied by a rambling companion, Sinclair begins walking along London's Overground network, or, 'Ginger Line'. With characteristic playfulness, detours into folk history, withering assessments of the political classes and a joyful allegiance to the ordinary oddball, Sinclair guides us on a tour of London's trendiest new transport network - and shows the shifting, changing city from new and surprising angles.</span><br />

Tom Michell is in his roaring twenties: single, free-spirited and seeking adventure. He has a plane ticket to South America, a teaching position in a prestigious Argentine boarding school, and endless summer holidays. He even has a motorbike, Che Guevara style. What he doesn't need is a pet. What he <i>really</i> doesn't need is a pet penguin.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A wonderful meditation on the English landscape in wet weather by the acclaimed novelist and nature writer, Melissa Harrison.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whenever rain falls, our countryside changes. Fields, farms, hills and hedgerows appear altered, the wildlife behaves differently, and over time the terrain itself is transformed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In <i>Rain</i>, Melissa Harrison explores our relationship with the weather as she follows the course of four rain showers, in four seasons, across Wicken Fen, Shropshire, the Darent Valley and Dartmoor. </span><br />

<strong>London Stone</strong> is a historic landmark traditionally housed at 111 Cannon Street in the City of London. It is an irregular block of oolitic limestone measuring 53 × 43 × 30 cm (21 × 17 × 12"), the remnant of a once much larger object that had stood for many centuries on the south side of the street.

This fine, Grade-II listed pub with its distinctive curved and recessed corner detail, dates from the early 19th century. The Sugar Loaf's first recorded landlord was John Curling who was pulling pints in 1839. At that time sugar was still sold in solid conical blocks known as loaves. The shape was an instantly recognisable symbol of trade, originally used by grocers and, later, by pubs.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The terms <strong><u><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordwainer" target="_blank">Cordwainer</a></u></strong> and cobbler have often been considered not interchangeable, according to a tradition in Britain that restricted cobblers to repairing shoes. In this usage, a cordwainer is someone who makes new shoes using new leather, whereas a cobbler is someone who repairs shoes.Medieval cordovan leather was used for the highest quality shoes, but cordwainers also used domestically produced leathers and were not solely producers of luxury footwear.</span></div>

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary_Abchurch" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">St Mary Abchurch</span></strong> </a><br />
<br />
Which<strong> </strong> is Church of England, off Cannon Street in the City of London. <br />
Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, it is first mentioned in 1198–1199. <br />
The medieval church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666,<br />
and replaced by the present building.<br />
<br />
We did try and get in but lots of building work going on. <br />

A few months ago, I read </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about a Café in a Church, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and thought how great it would be to visit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So when the opportunity arose to visit London</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to see my great friend Jennifer, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I asked her if she fancied going </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to see it. Of course she did !! <br />

in Watling Street at the junction with Bow Lane, in the City of London.</div>

Of medieval origin, it was rebuilt from 1510. Badly damaged in the Great Fire of London in 1666, it was rebuilt once more, this time by Sir Christopher Wren, unlike the vast majority of his City churches in a Gothic style.</div>

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broughty_Ferry" target="_blank">Broughty Ferry</a><br />
<br />
is a suburb in Dundee, Scotland. It is situated four miles east of the city centre on the north bank of the Firth of Tay. The area was a separate <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgh" title="Burgh">burgh</a> from 1864 until 1913, <br />
when it was incorporated into Dundee.<br />
Formerly a prosperous fishing and whaling village, in the 19th century Broughty Ferry became a haven for wealthy jute barons, who built their luxury villas in the suburb. As a result, Broughty Ferry was referred to at the time as the "richest square mile in Europe".</div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> is a historic castle on the banks of the river Tay in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, Scotland. It was completed around 1495, although the site was earlier fortified in 1454 when George Douglas, 4th Earl of Angus received permission to build on the site. His son Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus was coerced into ceding the castle to the crown. The main tower house forming the centre of the castle with four floors was built by Andrew, 2nd Lord Gray who was granted the castle in 1490.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Canal" target="_blank">The <b>Oxford Canal</b></a></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is a 78-mile-long (126 km) narrow canal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in central England linking Oxford with Coventry via Banbury and Rugby. It connects with the River Thames at Oxford, to the Grand Union Canal at the villages of Braunston and Napton-on-the-Hill, and to the Coventry Canal at Hawkesbury Junction in Bedworth just north of Coventry. The canal was once an important artery of trade between the English Midlands and London, and is now highly popular among pleasure boaters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Oxford Canal passes mainly through the Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire countryside, and is often considered to be one of the most scenic canals in Britain. North of Napton-on-the-Hill, the canal forms part of the Warwickshire ring.</div>
