Happy St Patrick's Day to you all

We hear a lot about Brexit where we live although the UK do not think we are part of the Uk because we live elsewhere. No one can go alone in this world held together by the fragile web that is the internet. Not even the UK and one of the things I have realised over the past few years of travel is that the rest of the world do not look kindly on the Brits. They all have their reasons I suppose. Mind you a country that is seeking independence from the rest of Europe is going to be in need of a few friends, the UK Government is not doing much to protect the right os Brits living abroad, especially if they are still living in a country that is part of the EU. 

Well we thankfully made it through the Beast From the East and Storm Emma. We had snow and lots of it. It lasted only a few days and then turned to slush and ice. The government imposed a voluntary curfew until the worst of the storms had passed. It still amazed me to see that a couple of days of snow and the entire country grinds to a halt. Our councils are never ready for winter, and come to that, neither are we all.
