Autumn has officially started in Malta, and with that we also got the first showers and storms of the new season.  Needless to say, after a very long and hot summer, the rain was very welcomed by the vast majority of the Maltese population (even thought I must admit that I got really scared due to the thunder and lightning last night).

This week was also marked by the first school buses which once again started filling up our roads in the morning; as well as the typical ‘first-week-of-school’ scene, characterized by mothers accompanying their young kids to the various shops in their towns and villages to stock up on pens, copybooks and other stationery.

On a completely different note, I must also mention the fact that last week we celebrated the feast of the saint who is the protector of Elanguest – Padre Pio of Pietrelcina.  As most of you already know, our school is dedicated to the memory of this Great Saint.
