It's a PLEASURE , I seen a lot of what you did for us EMIGRANTS , I been away 54 years now , & only went back as holiday 7 times , & 1 time to stay there, but did not work for me ,cause of work situation , I love MALTA as a holiday. & very close to EUROPE places to visit. life if different , good, but living got too expensive for the wages they get , Housing got out of reach to buy for someone who did not already had a his own place to sell & buy. They do well , but New Ones , I feel sorry for them. IT'S Got flooded by foreigners, Than can well afford to buy property, & kept prices SKY ROKETING from 1990'S that happened , & if you been there ,that long , You know too well , but MALTA is full of HISTORY , & nice country for holiday , and those who lived their lives in there, Wish all the best , & KEEP Enjoying your stay there , & THANK YOU

Hi steve wow very beautiful views love ur lost in videos keep them coming

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Thank you, I will

[@SarumGirl]

Lovely video, thank you Steve. So nice to see the old houses that have been renovated and the villages being kept alive. The new homes were nice too and no high rise on that part of the island. The garden and viewing platform would be wonderful in the summer when you are really needing a cooling wind.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Thank you sheila , Yes I never been before and never knew what to expect ..But I will go back again !!

[@charlied2393]

HELLO Sheila Evens, Thanks for the Surprise of you commented, this is Charlie your friend on F/BK.

I have wonderful memories of celebrating Festa in Zurrieq in 2018 . I was always enjoy your " lost in" videos Steve. But I wasn't expecting how beautiful that garden and view were going to be. Looking out towards Filfla and sun reflecting off the the sea was truly magical. Thank you once again for sharing beautiful Malta with us x

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

So welcome Paula ..Yes must go again when its not so windy !! was crazy wind and touch cold ..but I enjoyed it !

[@maltatourguide8701]

Great video!

[@francisdacey2768]

Nice that son. Definitely going up. Er I've been reliabily informed that a gibjun where you saw the mame of the street was some sort of water tank or tower. I'm guessing it's been refurbished and supplies all the small holdings and maybe the gardens. Great job lad!

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Thanks for the info ..yes I found out later that tower i filmed had something to do with it !!

[@emanuelfarrugia4821]

hi steve, what a wonderful long video to wake up to on a dull wet saturday morning in b'mouth, this one is lot more special to me personally as i was born there and baptised in the main parish church, all my uncles lived there within 5 to 10 minutes of each other, but i was brought up in hamrun, and was going backward & forward with my mother up to my teenage years to see the grandparents as well as the rest of all the uncles, aunties and cousins, again you walked all where i did & play as young boy, the gibjun garden is fantastic, but of course was never like that, mainly because it was a very long time ago, but the views are the same with filfla at the back standing all alone, bye 4 now & thanks a lot it's 10 out of 10 from me for this one, i wonder when is your birthday ? see you soon.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes more to come from that area !! very interesting

[@davidjones6283]

What a beautiful park/garden/and vantage point. Well worth your long walk to it. Will definitely make a visit to it when things get better. Stay safe Steve.

Englishman lost in Malta 😂 But wow! Was it worth it? YES!!! The views from the garden were fantastic, will definitely be visiting Zurrieq and bringing my binoculars so I don't miss a thing. The wind didn't affect your mike, couldn't hear a thing, and the blossom could be cherry blossom? Thanks for sharing Steve, another great video showing the little gems of Malta ❤ 🇲🇹 👍

[@mannaggaguz9620]

I agree, that looks like a cherry blossom to me. I had one in our garden in south Lincolnshire which we lost two years ago. Steve’s made me feel a bit homesick now, bless him.

That was quite a walk but I enjoyed every minute of it! I love exploring the lesser known towns and villages. I feel like they are the real Malta 🥰 The plane crash is the one I told you about before. I sent you some photos on Instagram. They have a memorial for it at the National Arboretum in Burton-upon-Trent. I will share some photos of it on the Holiday Malta page. The gardens and playground look lovely. The view from up there is phenomenal! 😍 Well worth a visit when we are next over. Thanks for taking the time to show us Steve 😃👍🏼

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Sounds great! must go at night

[@maximilliancamilleri7907]

I think in Malta there are many of these towns which are really underrated

[@mannaggaguz9620]

You have to ask yourself 'by whom'? I mean in Malta you can’t expect a view unless you’re on the coast and you can hardly expect a garden; just a yard really. So if you’re fine with that, as is the case with tourists because they don’t have to live there thats fine, but people with a choice don’t want to feel like sardines. Malta is excellent value for a sunny holiday spent enjoying best of history, architecture and food and sea but to live there as compares to abroad in a detached house you need serious money.

[@juliemanning7290]

Yes..zurrieq is ancient..napoleon bonapart also stayed in zurrieq..its quieter but windy but i like it that way. Gibjun is lovely in the evening great views of the sea and filfla and firework displays from other villages.

[@mannaggaguz9620]

Steve, I have to admit I feel humbled that I commented too soon half way through your video before you reached the Water Well Garden (Gibjun) section, when I realised what an awesome job the authorities have done there. It makes me understand now why my college mates (M.C.A.S.T.) back then who lived there were so proud of it and said it was underrated compared to the northeast area like Mellieha. I have to visit again now for sure. 👍 🇲🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧

Hi Steve, thanks for another interesting video. Nice to see you wear a mask. Can you explain please at 1.00 to 1.10 there is a disabled parking sign that says Communal. Can you clarify if a disabled parking badge in Malta can be used across the whole island or are there restrictions, i.e. why 'Communal'? Thanks

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Communal means anyone with a badge can park in that space , But we also have disabled parking with a registration number on it, Which is paid for by that individual and only they are allowed to park in that space ,if you have a badge you can park in any disabled space , in any part of the Maltese islands other than as i said with a registration number on it ,
