What a busy two weeks these have been!!

Last week was characterized by the great feast of Saint Julian, an event which was very welcomed by most of our students.  Most of them chose to join in and get firsthand experience of the traditional Maltese bands and fireworks, which changed the way in which the city that is named after this Saint looks at weekends.  Having said that, I would also really suggest that you look up the story of Saint Julian…I personally heard about it for the first time last week and thought it was lovely

On a completely different note, we had rain (and in some places thunder storms) last Saturday, and exceptionally hot and humid weather throughout the rest of this week.  For those of us who don’t even have the time to check what date it is on the calendar, this is a very clear indication that August is over and September is with us.

This month is characterized by many things, predominantly high levels of humidity, the first showers, the start of the scholastic year for Maltese children, as well as two very important public holidays, which you will read about in more detail in the weeks to come.

I’ll be back to talk about the first of these two public holidays next week – the feast of Our Lady of Victory, which is very close to the heart of the vast majority of the Maltese population.

Have a great weekend!!
