When my children were young I used to bring them at st. Paul bay to swim. Exactly me and my husband s family used to go behind the school where there is a quite spot by the sea and we used to swim there . We even used to make barbecues in summer. Very nice memories of those beautiful days. You mentioned Angelo s bar my sister used to work there when she was only fourteen years old in her summer holidays and she used to earn five pounds a week. How time passes by . Once more Steve you fill us with beautiful memories through your videos. Thank you Steve till next time.❤❤❤😊😊😊

ST PAUL'S BAY IN WINTER ☁️ ☀️ 🌊 . Don't recognize my St Paul's Bay / Bugibba anymore. The major changes started in 1960s but it seems it really took off in the last 10 years or so. Development gone mad 🏢🏢🏢 in my humble opinion. Re those 'stairs' @ 5:00 I say, " One man's eyesore is another's monument" 🏛️😊. Steve, I've got a photo of 3yo me sitting on that same wall @ 1:56.😊. The 'little harbour ' is known as "Il-Mentqa" ⛵🚢. THANKS for taking me down memory lane Steve 🙏 👏. Cheers 👍🇲🇹❤️🇪🇺™️

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

never heard it called "Il-Mentqa"but theres many names in Malta been lost to time !! yes it would make a nice monument with the architect burned under ...lol 😂

[@johnabela932]

Don't be rude & cruel Steve 😂. The architect in question must have been influenced by renowned Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi 😂. Sorry for the typo, I meant "IL- MENQA" - Have a look at a SPB map and you'll thank me for the info 😀. Cheers 👍🇲🇹❤️🇪🇺™️

I remember walking through St. Paul’s Bay in February 1971, during my naval days, and it was very cold then.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes February is very unpredictable, you get allsort in February from beautiful sunshine to ice and rains storm's

[@uzi1979]

Good video. Thanks for showing Bugibba and the quay. The weather sure looks cold.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes it was a little, mostly cold wind, but hot when the sun comes out

[@paulmadden7426]

I hope Buggiba doesn't get spoiled with all the building work and hotels sprouting up .But i suppose you've got to think of the future .Well done steve 👍👍

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Good point! But maybe too late, tourist street needs some updating !!

[@PaulMann8666]

Thanks for another great one Steve. I think it's a great idea to have ferries going around the coast. When I was staying in Sliema, the best way to Valletta was the ferry, instead of the nose-to-butt road traffic, then the hassle and expense of parking. In the 1980s, when the beautiful old buses with the open doors and windows you could open with curtains you could draw against the sun, it was different. The approach through Floriana towards the Triton Fountain bus station was always a joy. There wasn't so much traffic then. Last time, the ferry from Sliema was 3 euros and the the little electric train from the ferry station up to St George's square, great for knackered kneed old crocks like me, 5 euros. Ferries are great.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Hey Paul yes its a great idea, but sadly years away!!

[@FedericoBorluzzi]

I like your vlogging style and you are such a good person to meet, I guess. :)

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Oh thank you! maybe we meet one day ?

[@leedalmas5665]

H Steve the new harbour will look great when it is finished

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Its needed it for many years, and even better the second phase with the ferries

[@dianebannister965]

Hi Steve, wow a lot has changed since I was there last, looking forward to seeing all of the new buildings when we come in May, love the ice cream from Tanti 👍 x

Hi Steve, do you remember the old days when the buses used to park or turn around in the square? Thanks for the walk.

[@briandobson7943]

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

[@polincortis8176]

Bye the way Steve you are feeling very cold because you are not wearing enough clothes for the evening. Wear a good jacket that will not let the cold air get into your body and you will never catch colds. I always wear many clothes in winter and I don't feel any cold. Bye Steve.❤❤❤😊😊

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Thanks for the tips! but I was out allday and it got coler as the sun went down !!

[@micktapping2371]

Couldn't agree more joined my 1st ship Sliema creek 1961. Few more visits over the years. Lived In Malta 74/75. Since then many visits. Last 12 years 2/3 times year. Changes too many some good others?

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Yes its changing everyday, Crazy !!

[@donnellalouise]

You should try Victoria next time for coffee. I liked it very much, but can’t tell you about the quality of the coffee. It looks open, though, in this video.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Good to know! but it had music over there was going to add it inthe video, I didn't bother in the end !

[@EdNew-i5g]

those stairs were design by someone on .L.S.D

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Could be they are crazy !!

[@jamesmuddiman8374]

Are prices getting expensive like here??

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Crazy expensive the government is reducing veryday items to help !

[@renren8810]

Do you know the duration of this construction? until when it is?

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Not sure, I am guessing first phase couple of years

[@alanmercieca3086]

I never use those ATM vending machines, there are ATM vending machines like that in our country as well, as a matter of fact if you use the right banks in Malta, to collect money from what is called a credit union, then it's even cheaper than using other banks in Malta, it's cheaper for me than using a credit card.

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

Sounds Great Alan I noticed there is a new way on ATM as two questions cash and info and other if you push cash and info you are automatically chaged 2 euros for a statement

[@yvonneschofield3674]

MALTA is not as nice as it was.😢But there again no were is the same..😊

[@EnglishmaninMalta]

you answered your own comment ? lol 😂 sometimes it is also how we see life !!

[@petervalek6866]
