Quote Travelling Wilbury="Travelling Wilbury"I was talking to someone on the coach a few years back in the way back from an away game, think it was EW, as he mentioned his wife and Hull KR, in the conversation briefly, he was saying he went somewhere, can't remember if it was Malta or Cyprus he went to, but he said it wasn't just the weather, it was also pace and quality of life, and how people still had respect for each other and the law. Sadly, I think that is something lacking over here nowadays.
I was hoping that to go abroad for a few weeks this winter, so I can see what some of our favoured locations are like, off season, but COVID has delayed that a bit. The plus side is that I might get to see a new east stand, and stand in it.'"
Yes, it was myself you spoke to. It would have been around 2016.
We went to Malta, and spent just under 4 years there. As a family, although there were challenges and things that were different, such as school times, work culture and Kalimas, as a whole, we don’t regret it for a minute, and one day will probably head back, but as things are different now for us, it will be in time and when the time is right.

It’s not for everyone, but what I will say, if any of your friends and family were to think about it, give them chance to try it and find out for themselves
