Well it's a bit sooner than we planned but keeping fingers crossed if all goes to plan we will be back in Sliema in 2 weeks today , hope the weather improves a bit it has seemed to be slightly artic and monsoon like just recently.

never mind the weather
Saw your list of places to visit list and you mentioned the markets. I have often noticed British people buying soft furnishing fabric, it seems you can find some bargains on the markets here. So if you need some new curtains you could measure up your windows before you go. Sorry if I am sounding like the boring housewife that I am! By the way, if you don't manage to visit the B'kara market on a Wednesday, the same market is also held on Fridays.
You also mentioned Attard, Balzan & Lija, if you are near the Attard parish church next door there is a nice place called Saracino's Cafe for a bite to eat, open all day. It is a lovely old building part of the floor is glass so you can see the old shelter beneath the building, they also have some nice paintings for sale by local artists. They do a nice toasted ftira and have smashing hot chocolate. If you are wondering what the word "saracino" (pronounced sara chino) is, it is the name for Attard natives, like you would say scouse for people from Liverpool.

Hi Ingliza and Alan , thank you both for your replies, the toasted ftira sounds fab, and Mrs Sliema2 is extremely partial to a nice hot chocolate so if we are in Attard then we will deffinitely pop in for snacks, I do like a nice snack before my lunch in Malta.
