Heidi's little world

Aaah I am getting soo excited about my forthcoming trip to Malta! I haven't been to Malta since Christmas, and I cannot wait to be on that tiny island again, to meet up with old friends and have a good time!

I am looking forward to lots of sun. Its the middle of March and its still cold in Edinburgh (5C). The Maltese weather (16C) will be just what I need!! I also cannot wait to see my brother, whom I havent seen since Christmas, and my cat!! I miss my adorable cat.

The purpose for this trip is to go to my cousin's wedding. Thats right, another cousin is getting married! But it will be a great opportunity to meet all my family at one go, and have a bit of fun in the process!

I think its really amazing how there is always a 'sense' about a season. Right now its wet, cold, and supposed to snow, but although its as cold as winter, it 'feels' like spring is on its way, or has almost arrived! A few flowers are peaking out of the ground, some trees actually have buds beginning to show, and the birds have started singing! You don't realize how dead and silent winter is until you hear those chirps as you walk around town, or at six in the morning as you lie in bed!

Its so different to Malta really. In Malta it just goes from hot to cold, summer to winter. There isn't the transition into a season like there is here. I like it though, it makes you appreciate each season as you note the differences, and you realize that you are ready for the change.
