Our family spent the war years in a street parallel to the ditch you mentioned. After the war was over and wied il-buni was accessible (I was 7 then), the ditch was an adventurous playground for us kids. We used to climb the stone walls, etc. There were also gunposts in wied il-buni which we used to piss and occasionally shit in. Some say that at night lovers used to go there to smooch.<br />After a while the ditch was cultivated and the farmer didn't like us running over his crops, so we kids decided to go somewhere else. But that's another story.<br />I'd love to get in touch with some Birzebbugian my age (72) especially someone who's got photos of that era.<br />Good luck to you all.<br />Walter James (now living in Germany)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34533174.post-52274870581902401542007-10-27T12:52:00.000+02:002007-10-27T12:52:00.000+02:00Berzy, in one of my previous posts i have already ...Berzy, in one of my previous posts i have already shown a full picture of wied il-buni, here more i wanted to show the bathing area of wied il-buni.

I also have a few old photos of how the place looked. You are only showing a tiny part of Wied il - Buni.<BR/><BR/>There was a long ditch about one mile long and very deep. This seperated the main road and the rocky area which is shown in your picture.<BR/><BR/>One little story. During WW2 all of Wied il Buni was closed by barbed wire and it was a military area with guns along the sea shore. Also one section of it was used by servicemen for nude bathers / swimmers. The locals / civilians were not allowed in that area. <BR/><BR/>Ask some oldtimer at the village and they'll confirm my story.* berzy *https://www.blogger.com/profile/12597913796884654169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34533174.post-12354983128905735162007-10-24T10:14:00.000+02:002007-10-24T10:14:00.000+02:00You can really imagine how these stones have been ...You can really imagine how these stones have been washed by water during thousands, millions (?) of years!Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024294080108212018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34533174.post-18249104285822729162007-10-23T20:03:00.000+02:002007-10-23T20:03:00.000+02:00dick, malta is full of buildings and unfortunately...dick, malta is full of buildings and unfortunately it is getting worse each year.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915306323006971277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34533174.post-63697122578630747542007-10-23T19:10:00.000+02:002007-10-23T19:10:00.000+02:00There are a lot of buildings on Malta.There are a lot of buildings on Malta.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722700228974496130noreply@blogger.com
