Further to my post of April 14th, Fr Marc Andre Camilleri justifies the initiative to commercialise the space above the Paola parish church, with the following observation: “When I receive an electricity bill or a bill from the painter, I must pay it with money… I cannot pay them back with a blessing.”

May 15th. 1954, Queen Elizabeth came to Malta to inaugurate Mater Admirabilis Teachers (female)Training College at tal-Virtu` Rabat, Malta. The street used to be Busketto Road but now it is has been changed to Dr. George Borg Oliver Street.
The balcony where there is the flag of the Union Jack, is my grandfather's.
The people in the balcony are all my relatives from my dad's side.
Joseph Gatt Just a small typo: Borg Oliv*ier* 🙂
Joseph Gatt Luckily it appears that, to this day, this street remains, for the most part, endowed with the traditional residential facades that once adorned Maltese streets. Additionally, in this street in Rabat we can also find Villa Luginsland (please see post: https://zafoid.com/post/view/10727).
It brought back so much memories, my teenage time as a Girl Guide in Malta and being a Scout leader in Canada for 20 years.
