Local photographer captures Ta’ Rita’s last moments pre-refurbishment

Local photographer captures Ta’ Rita’s last moments pre-refurbishment
Oct 11 2022 Share

Local photographer Justine Ellul took some heart-wrenching images of the iconic Għar Lapsi restaurant Ta’ Rita before it undergoes it’s upcoming refurbishment. 

As the restaurant, with over 100 years of history, closes down to begin redevelopment, many are reminiscing about their time spent at the restaurant following an early morning Lapsi swim or an evening dinner by the sea.

The area will see it grow into a three-floor guest house with a pool, underground parking, play area, scuba diving shop and multipurpose hall.

The refurbishment will give the area a completely new feel and aesthetic. So lingering onto these images captured by Ellul is perfectly understandable to reignite the raw sense many of us have felt when visiting the eatery.

A showcase tour like has never been done by a Maltese artist before and opens the doors for more music exports to happen in the future. Participants in showcase festivals are invited through a highly competitive selection process with thousands of applicants applying each year, so we couldn’t be more excited for Alex for making it!

Taking to Twitter, Gladiator actor Russell Crowe shared various snapshots of his holiday in Malta, absolutely fascinated by the sights he’s witnessing on the island. 

Crowe’s love for the island is quite well-known by now, having filmed Gladiator on the island and loving some pastizzi indulgences whenever he visits. 

This time around, he took to Twitter to share images of moonlight over the surrounding seas as well as a black-and-white early hour image of a local on a boat. 

The actor seemingly cannot get enough of the island.

Former PN MP hits out at Bernard Grech after Adrian Delia remarks

Former PN MP hits out at Bernard Grech after Adrian Delia remarks
Oct 11 2022 Share

Former Nationalist Party MP Mario Galea hit out at current leader Bernard Grech after comments he made during a Lovin Malta interview in regards to the state of the party under different leadership. 

Mario Galea responded to the interview in question saying: ‘Dr Grech, the fact that no one is going to the President does not mean we are happy with you. You thinking the PN is happy with you is an illusion. You might be personally better. But the party is surely not. You broke a party. You sincerely have no shame.’ 

During the interview, Bernard Grech stated that the Nationalist Party is in a much better state than it was two and a half years ago, when Adrian Delia was the chief of the party. 

When pressed about the statement by interviewer Tim Diacono, Grech said that no one from within the party was going to the President to change the leader. 

To this, Delia responded in a similar vein to Galea’s response. Delia had stated that whether the party is better or worse is up to the people to decide. ‘But I do not think that it is fair to revel in the fact that you (Grech) were not betrayed’ said Delia. 

‘If anything, this is disrespect to the councillor of the party and their vote. Even though I was betrayed, as Bernard Grech reminds us here, I decided, with responsibility, that the party should still not suffer for it and therefore remained loyal.’

Mario Galea’s history with his PN candidature is also strenuous after he rejected claims by Grech that there was an agreement to withdraw his election candidature in lieu of this year’s March election. 

Mario Galea had confirmed, along with Clyde Puli, Kristy Debono and Claudio Grech, that they would not be contesting the general election to give way for new blood in parliament. 

However, he had revealed that his life had been made a living hell by people close to the PN leadership, despite having already having prepared his campaign.
