Return to Malta

As those of you who keep up with my blog will know, I am at residence in Malta at this minute. Although my stay is only a short one this time, I am finding that I love it just as much (if not more) as I did in the summer. For starters we're seeing a temperature of close to fifteen degrees C here almost every day, and the wind is fresh and cool, not cold.

today, particularly, has been a wave of activity: seeing Mark's aunt, visiting the craft village, home for lunch, back out at the cinema to see Tangled (great film btw soooo getting the DVD), more shopping, back home, and then later we'll be heading out for dinner. This is the type of thing that the perfect holidays are made of, and though I travel home on Monday (a mere two days! It's gone so quickly!) I look forward to a fun-filled action-packed Sunday.

That said, I wouldn't want every day to be this full of adventure, though I could do with more of the relaxing evenings that Mark and I had last night.

Something I have realised since being back in Malta, however, is that Mark brings out a more fun-loving adventurous side of me. With him I find myself wanting to try new things, do new things and spend more time outdoors walking and just spending time together. He is my Maltese adventure, whether he's in Malta or England, or wherever.

After this holiday it will be a fair length of time before we see each other again. We've looked at the calendars and decided that the best bet is easter. That's over two months from when I go back home, longer than we've ever spent away from each other. Despite that, I find myself knowing that there isn't anything to worry about, after all, we've survived half the year already as if it were a heartbeat and we're still going as strong as the beginning, if not stronger.

The time spent apart aside, I am looking forward to returning home. I should have several packages waiting for me, not to mention the Graze box from last week. The visit that should be happening from Hayley will be very welcome too, and I have some interesting stories to tell her.

That should be it now readers, the next post will probably be on the day of my return.
