Oh what a joy it is to have lunch around the kitchen table of Trefan Morys with Jan, Elizabeth and their youngest son Twm Morys. Conversation over duck, new potatoes and Jan’s favourite, wild garlic salad, covered such diverse subjects as tales from the (still) Welsh-speaking colony of Patagonia, the building of nearby Snowden (King Arthur buried his arch-enemy, the fearsome giant Rhitta, under the summit for making coats from the beards of his enemies) to Elizabeth being a ‘runner’ for the architects on the original Wembley Stadium (how things have changed in a lifetime) to the Sydney Opera House.

From Piazza San Marco to the Grand Canal and Bridge of Sighs, there’s incredible architecture to admire in one of Italy s most romantic cities. You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to places to explore.
Pietà is one of the historical peripheral towns of Valletta dating back to circa 1800. It boasts a rich heritage of unique scheduled buildings, with a few having beautiful baroque and neoclassical gardens.
The Grade 1 scheduled property Villa Frere is perhaps the most well-known, as a result of the incredible work of Perit Edward Said and the team at Friends of Villa Frere. In addition, the locality also includes the beautiful but incredibly dilapidated Palazzo Windward and Villa Gwardamangia, the former residence of Queen Elizabeth II post WWII and recently bought by Heritage Malta. Furthermore, it includes St Luke’s Hospital, a fine building in its own right, a legacy of the best of the ‘40’s architecture in Malta.
