  • Kingfisher Mural

    Kingfisher Mural

    The kingfisher mural on St. Paul’s Avenue is a very striking painting that maybe not many people have appreciated. It’s painted on the side of a house that is the entrance to a busy car park, without a pavement opposite so there isn’t that much foot traffic. What traffic there is, is made up of drivers navigating 3 narrow lanes who certainly aren’t looking up to admire this gorgeous painting by Curtis Hylton.

    I was surprised to learn that the mural was completed in 2019. I imagined it was newer but then, there probably weren’t many murals painted in 2020. Mick wrote about the mural here where you can find more details about it.

    Outdoor Dining in Malta

    Back in 2019 they had outdoor dining in Valetta, the capital of Malta long before it was a necessity in Ireland due to Covid19. Granted they do have a lot less rainfall than we do which makes things much easier..
