🇬🇧 Of roses, chocolates…and scandalous affairs 🥀 On February 13, 1800 – on the eve of Valentine’s Day, Rear Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson penned these heart-felt words to his lover Lady Hamilton: "I am not happy anywhere else but with you, nor have I an idea that I ever can be." 💌 An exquisite rococo bed on display at the Malta Maritime Museum as part of the exhibition An Island at the Crossroads, recounts this famed Georgian love affair, whilst spotlighting the turbulent two-year period (1798 -1800) in which Malta changed hands three times, from the Order of St John, to the French, to the British. 🛏️
