Cool Britannia on Post EU day
The English are waking up to a new world today.
It was signalled by the conversations I had but it is still a surprise. Life will be different for sure. What it will mean for Britain and for perhaps even New Zealand will be interesting.
There is already talk about expats working and living in EU "coming home" to live in Britain. Where they will live will be interesting and how they can afford it will be even more difficult.
I spoke to some folk that left Auckland to live in small town NZ and the house they own has stayed at the same price and the one they sold has doubled. So they can not return to Auckland ever. I wonder how the Brits will manage to do the same thing. It will be hardship for many but perhaps the cost of moving to Portugal for a retiring Kiwi may become a lot easier.
So the English summer is still to arrive. Rain every day so for but yesterday.
What a lovely ride. I left the Exe estuary and rode down the coast to Dartmouth on the river Dart. Then up the river through some of the prettiest countryside I have ever ridden. On to the Dart Moor and again a picturesque countryside.
A magical ride down country lanes. To a small village where again I stayed in an Air BnB recommended by my saviour on the roadside. Mac. The lady I am staying with was in NZ in Otago for a time. Back in her home town again.
Today I will head toward Bath. The 10 day forecast is as they say 'shite" .
A change of plans is in order and if the prospects do not improve weather wise I may look at going to Spain for a couple of weeks to get warm.
