With everything going on lately and hearing news of folks who are stuck indoors abroad actually started me thinking about when Pat and I had a holiday when we were pretty much stuck indoors but for for very different reasons of course.
Pat had fallen down the stairs the morning of our departure to Malta and broken some bones in her foot. She had put a very brave face on it all and insisted all would be well thinking she had probably only sprained it.
Anyway, upon arrival on a clear December’s day in Malta, it soon became very clear due to Pat’s swollen foot and the agony it caused her that all would not be well and she needed medical attention.
Anyway, to cut the story short, we ended up not being able to stray too far from the hotel and pretty much just stayed there for the duration of the holiday. While we made the best of a bad holiday situation, my thoughts go out to those who wish they could enjoy their holiday or come home during this awful time.
Here’s a few pics from our holiday in Malta… For obvious reasons, Pat decided to avoid the camera for the most part.
what lovely pix of the 2 of you! great reminder, Kevin, that things are all relative… wishing the best for you & yours 🙂

Absolutely! Due to her condition, Pat has to stay in isolation for 12 weeks. 😦

I’ve never been to Malta. I hope Pat is doing better now, Kevin. Broken bones are a serious thing.

Your poor vacation, Kev. Malta looks beautiful even if you didn’t get far from the hotel. And you two look happy regardless. Take care during this strange time. Keep smiling. ❤

Not the idea holiday, Kevin. I have had a few where I have ended up with one or other child in the hospital. It is lovely to spend your time at the sea, viewing it from the window the the pediatric ward.

Isn’t that the smart thing to do, Kevin–make the best of a bad situation. So you are experienced at this!

That is too bad as I love Malta. It actually features in my next book. I also understand as I did something similar just before a river cruise a few years ago. One we had planned for over a year. I also convinced myself it was just a bad sprain and soldiered on. When I returned home I discovered I had broken my ankle in two places. It looks like you stayed at a nice resort though.
