1316 days later...
And breathe... Ever since that infamous vote on June 23, 2016, it's hard to put into words what has happened.

I feel heartsore that today was my last full day as an EU citizen. More than anything I’m desperately sorry so many of my friends have been made to feel unwelcome in their homes + as though their value is the sum of their salary. Standing with you now and always ♥️ #LeaveALightOn
