A valley of mist-by MAHIL WIJESINGHE Source:Sundayobserver Every year from January to April, the Sabaragamuwa region is a mesmerizing picture for visitors who find time to enjoy nature’s beauty.

“THEIR MAJESTIES” – By Des Kelly Let us make this one (three items).

Victor has his own “little library” connected to his residence, spends hours in it, sorting out books, magazines, newspapers, etc., etc., to ensure that all of us, lucky readers, are kept fully aware of everything to do with the Country that both of us were privileged to be born in, before, reluctantly having to leave. I am happy to say that Victor Melder has been duly recognised by the City of Melbourne, for his honorary work, and, take my chance to wish him, his dear wife Esther, & his family, all the very best.
