Taking the studio route-----

It's amazing how the light here changes with the seasons in such

a short time. Just a few weeks ago at 5-30 in the morning

it was a' before dawn' sky that I saw from the terrace; this morning

 the sky glows a rich orange/red, burnishing the sea with bronze.

    -----Beautiful!

As we walk along to the studio,the sun

has risen, and dances on the water.

Oh yes---there's Bugibba across the water, the local tourist

area,soon to be awake with shoppers and

holiday folk moving themselves into the

sunbathing scene.

We're into daylight now!Round the corner and up the hill,

see how the coast-line curves.

Across the water here is Xemxia, another harbour

for the boats. there were rumours once that there was

to be a marina here,---no sign yet.

Below  the shrubs is a tiny secluded bay,

a favourite for teaching the toddlers to swim, and close by

is the base for the sailing school for youngsters.

Last lap now! Up the hill a little further,

round the corner, and there's the

studio. not the big building that's the old palazzo!----and so to work!
