On the Edge

I thought I'd buffer the effect of this morning's distasteful photo a little by showing off the nicer side of Gozo again...

Enjoying a public holiday with near-perfect weather we were drawn out into the countryside again. A little less wind would have made it just a tiny little more perfect... but you can't have it all, can ya? This time we even thought of taking along some goodies for a picknick, something we sorely missed during our last walk and gobbled up ravenously almost as soon as we arrived at a suitable spot!



We parked the car just outside Kercem and before reaching Ghadira went off into the fields to the left. Ever since I came to Gozo for the first time, I have been intrigued by how easy it would be to just walk off over one of the island's numerous cliff edges. When George took the photo below I felt like killing him (well, just one very timid push would have sufficed...). I would have preferred going home without that picture, rather than watching and nagging him to stay away from that edge! Care for a dose of my hubby's humour? He left the car keys with me, "just in case", so I wouldn't have to go home on foot...



Apart from that little episode this afternoon was quite blissful!
