Hello and thank you for all the great comments as regards the banner!
My personal choice was two - {morning light in Valletta} but perhaps having the family up there is not a bad thing. The photo for this banner was taken two weeks ago at a picnic in Salina Park near Qawra, under the Eucalyptus trees and next to a modern rendition of a typical Maltese hunting hut
{which you still come across often}.
The photo in this post was taken last weekend, autumn in Malta actually means only a few things are brown. Mostly the island is waking up after a long dusty brown toned summer, the heavy humid heat is almost subsiding and the rains have begun. The plants are happy and turning to a lush green again.
Thorny because we all started school this week, child 1, 2, 3, and myself teaching- bit bumpy at the start [photo copiers jamming just before class, wrong room key, projector cable not matching etc., meeting some 200 students and attempting to learn all their names}
I suppose settling into a new routine is never very smooth.
Hope your week is going by with less sharp edges,
* Am afraid no Cornerview today , I just could not manage it this week.
