I recently decided to go to Valletta for some errands with my small car. Since I arrived early I opted to park by the side of King George V Garden in Floriana. I could not recall whether I had ever seen this garden before so I walked in.

I noted that the wide paved passages had many seats but unfortunately all these are lying in the sun. There is a lovely view of the Grand Harbour there, however the heat obliged me to seek some refuge in the shade.

What a pity that the amount of trees present in this lovely garden are still not enough to offer adequate shade. We definitely need more trees in this little island of ours, especially in towns and villages.
