put paid to your ridiculous fantasy. In four short months I’ve slipped from feeling like someone of note in someone’s life, to a mild irritation.

Sitting in the bar chit chatting after our spa day, I was saying to my cousin how strange I found it that you don’t have to provide documents on arrival into EU countries, from other EU countries. The first time I travelled from Spain to France, I was completely flummoxed when I didn’t have to […]
