I loved the Louvre but it would take the best part of a months to really see it properly.<br /><br />@Gattina: hope you'll find it easier to find your way around. It's not too difficult :)<br /><br />@Jane and Lance: yes, the balconies of Valletta are, indeed, famous. Valletta remains largely unspoilt, unlike the rest of the island. It's so sad. So glad you are blogging again.Loreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520908604580765632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741681994438005143.post-25239137998943752452021-01-31T21:49:15.969+01:002021-01-31T21:49:15.969+01:00Darling Loree,

But, so much has changed since we last visited you and what a joy it all is!<br /><br />Such a visual delight you give your readers here with these fabulous photographs. This looks to be exactly our kind of museum.... intimate and full of treasures that one can have a close look at and take time to ponder.<br /><br />We have never visited Malta and can only think of the iconic Valletta [if that is the correct spelling] balconies for which we believe Malta is famous.<br /><br />Thank you for your warm and kind welcome. We shall return! <br />Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741681994438005143.post-6862178847316350452021-01-30T08:07:05.865+01:002021-01-30T08:07:05.865+01:00I got on your blog and was lost !

I wonder how long it will be before we can visit any museum or gallery the way we used to. I for one will never manage to do it in a mask!<br /><br />Your harbour is fabulous - I must look up those artists renditions - I especially love William Turner's work.<br /><br />Mary xMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741681994438005143.post-63632774965524609412021-01-28T20:07:37.998+01:002021-01-28T20:07:37.998+01:00@Jim: well I never thought of that but I guess you...@Jim: well I never thought of that but I guess you could put your prayer book in the drawer, or a handkerchief, or gloves.

The smaller museums are more personal, and one can really learn about what is displayed. College museums are often like this. By the way, I many be displaying my ignorance, but why does one need drawers in a prie-dieu?<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741681994438005143.post-74381128073977505362021-01-27T18:23:35.467+01:002021-01-27T18:23:35.467+01:00@Salty Pumpkin: I really love paintings with bold ...@Salty Pumpkin: I really love paintings with bold brush strokes.<br /><br />@Pipistrello:isn't it just?
