Trees are so beautiful without their leaves. (and with them) Thanks for the photos James, especially St James Garden. Is that the cemetery? If so I have my great x 2 grand parents and their families buried there.

Six year old miner, complete with pipe..poverty and cruelty going hand in hand!

Lovely picture of Sheila and brother on Cowichan Valley bridge..(nice family reunion, Matt)

Graham; Interesting set of photos..city looks so much nicer in the sunshine :D
Had to laugh at size of your meal :lol: more than enough to feed numerous battalions!!
Also had the privilege of dining at Grilla, (oh my word) bit of an overload!
Most of our group going for the steak..no idea what they were in for!!
Dinosaur portions.. no exaggeration..half a cow sprawled across each wooden board :shock:
In stitches by the time accompanying six enormous bowls (bins) of chips arrived,,

Needless to say..no plates left empty :)

One of the worst holiday I have ever had as there is nothing there as I was going around blessing myself in the churches as that all there was and it says of the place was the highlight was a day at Popeye village which was a film set that was left to Malta and is a tourist attraction
