Eleven years ago today, I set foot in Great Britain for the last time.
Well, I really miss that island a lot. I think it’s time to plan a new trip, although it probably won’t be anytime soon.

@stefano you're very welcome to London too! There is an excellent family owned Italian restaurant I know 😀. Great Pizza!

@stefano purtroppo sta diventando, come gli USA, la nazione della sorveglianza digitale di massa nei confronti dei loro cittadini, e non sembrano volersi fermare o capire quello che fanno. O magari lo capiscono benissimo ed è esattamente quello che vogliono. Il sindaco di Londra dice che Londra è diventata una delle città più sicure del mondo grazie agli investimenti tecnologici che hanno fatto... 🤔

@stefano I exactly know that feeling. We loved that island and the people on them, right up to the minute that they told us they don't want our friendship and solidarity any more. Have not been back since the abomination that is Brexit, even though I want to go very much. We will see about 2026...

@vab I remember I saw the first "Europeans go away" banners in 2012/2013. All I could say was: why?

@stefano if you do return, visit northern England! I'm not far from Manchester and it's a beautiful countryside around it.

@pertho This happened there: https://my-notes.dragas.net/2025/12/27/the-two-pound-lifeboat/

The Two-Pound Lifeboat

A passport photo slips from an old book on a rainy Christmas afternoon. The memory of a week stranded abroad with nothing but a two-pound paperback for company.

@stefano Wow. I'm so sorry you had such a rotten time in Manchester. I think we've all been bitten in the backside by bureaucracy.

@pertho Oh, I had a great time there. That was just one experience, but it was outweighed by many other great ones.

@pertho I’ve been in Manchester (on and off) for more or less three years. I love that part of England! And yes, maybe it’s time to get back.
