Friends, my heart is broken today. The UK is leaving the European Union tonight at 11:00 pm continental time. Many will celebrate. I don’t have anything to celebrate.
32 years of this Spaniard living in the UK, I don’t recognise many things anymore. Yet, fantastic, honest people all over.
On this day, I’d like to reproduce the words of a British Green party MEP: ‘I am not asking you to solve our domestic discussions. I am asking to leave a light on, so we can find our way home’.
Our kids will be back. Just leave that candle on. It’s very dark around here.
