This morning a migrant from Malta was in the Immigration Discovery Centre, sourcing pictures of the Castel Felice and reminiscing about his island. He explained that his childhood home had been across the road from the sea, with views of the port and its enormous vessels. Later on, he came to my desk, leant across it and whispered: "perhaps one day you'll visit the little island." Hope so.
