Back from London

Back in France, I still feel the recent political changes seem unreal.
In weeks, months of reporting and travelling in England, I only met one person who campaigned to leave the EU, and he was a member of the Socialist Workers Party, calling for a "Lexit", a left-wing exit...

Meanwhile, I spent a wonderful week in London / Bristol to end June and start July.

How odd...
