IT was a little last minute to join Reece and Danny and the CAMPBELL CLAN on their summer holidays to Malta ,where another friend whom I have known for years Maz who actually comes from Malta .. Maz and Reece work together not only at Winnie Tree but the Spen Dyke pub in Blackpool … I have known Maz since I first went to work at Pleasure Beach back in 1995…. it was my first trip alone …. but with friends made it a lot easier … the hospitality of Maz’s Maltase family was amazing so very generous kind and all crazy .. thats where she gets it from … she is mild hahah … and the Campbell’s are always ;lovely to be with .. Reece organised everything he did a great job… because i think Reece has been about 9 times he is very comfortable with where knowing to go etc so i took a back seat and went along for the ride …
I cannot lie i did find it very difficult at the begining of the week …..just missing Dougie being with me ….
i was looking out for ramps and toilets for his chair which got to me ..and all being in couples one feels slightly sad …. I reflected a lot on how we shared our lives together … some of the views were so beautiful just a shame not to share then with him…. he would have loved it … but I carried his spirit in my heart ..
I hope I wasn’t too much of a downer on everyone … think I may of been to Reece , bless him. … I didnt harper on kept it to myself which was hard ….I sound all gloom and doom but I did have some fun… and too many drinks on one night but was rounded off with B52 ‘s…. Hotel was average served its purpose …. If i went again would stay in a better hotel ….but it was made very special by the festival of the Holy Virgin Mary etc it was like being in a Italian movie .
The Maltese family were as I said very generous and kind fab food, drink and funny they are all crazy .. they have so much love with each other, so it was very nice the real Malta . I know that is one of the reasons Reece enjoys it so much there . Knowing where to go where to eat drink and be merry ….
Went to too some lovely beaches especially Cafe de resort stylish great food and full of beautiful people … the guy in white briefs caused a bit of a stir … Oh to be young again… was I the oldest person there oh no…..
A highlight was a day on a boat with the Campbell Clan and the Maltese so about 40 people … going to lovely bays jumping in swimming around the lagoons .. to much food and drink , the kids had the most amazing time . we went to and Loved Midina…such a beautiful place had a very nice meal there …
it all went so quick so fab to see the sun…. and my goodness it was warm just so perfect
so thanks for the memories to cherish xxxx
