maps

A new pastime of my son's is drawing little maps. 
This one he made just before lunch yesterday detailing the morning's adventures. It was the last day of my parent's visit, they left before dawn today, school begins tomorrow and a return to the 'normal' routine resumes. Always a bit strange when loved visitors set sail back for their own homes. 
The house is a bit quieter. more still.  
Happy memories still waver in the air though. 
Apologies for being so silent these last few weeks, have been rediscovering the wonders of the islands with my parents.
**Apologies no corner view this week, I just didn't manage it. Will be sure to jump in for next week though. For this weeks Wednesday's corner view  'Vending Machines' go here

  2. Who can blame you enjoying the island? ;)
    It must be so pretty there around now that it is Spring.
    And your son is quite the little artist! I remember the donkey carts. They still use it a lot? When I lived on Gozo I so enjoyed seeing them...it was as being thrown back in time.
    Have a great week roaming the shores of Malta. ;)

  3. No apologies needed, I am glad you took time off for yourself. We all need breaks now and then - real life matters :^)

    I am so impressed by your son's maps - this sort of creativity blows my mind. Story telling and recalling a journey in pictures. Brilliant.

  9. i love it that he's drawing maps! so glad you could have a nice long visit.

    one never thinks about the longterm - longdistance implications when you're young and in love. i think maps help us to bridge those distances. as do blogs!
