Homesick

Along the  river Avon I thought fondly of my family
With love
But I did not miss them yearn for them long to see them
The way I do here
Maybe it's the setting
An austere hostel
Maybe it's the lack of scenary
With the river I felt at home and with company
Here surrounded by buildings
Eating alone in a cavernous common room
I feel just for home
Wishing my flight tonight was to take me home and not to see my best friend
Maybe it's the lack of facetime these two days
Or the very short calls
Or the knowledge that my credit has run its course
But I miss home

24 June 2016 brexit

So today history was made
Britain voted out of the eu
They'd been part of it for 40 years .

It's having such an emotional toll on people

Issues of ties and identity
Economy trade travel
Uncertainty
Start of other exits? 
Scotland Wales Ireland voted in
Will they now ask for independence -no more united Kingdom? 

And is brexit about unhappiness over immigration
Should such a referendum have been called at all?

If UK and America exhibit such intolerance towards immigrants what does that mean for the rest of the world

On education side also a time of great change.
