Not sure why that quote from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has come into my mind as we’ve just exited the European Union.  I have never been in favour of Brexit but I wasn’t in the majority so we just have to accept things as they are and move on.   There are so many new and exciting ways that things can work out or go completely wrong over the next few years for both Britain and the European Union.   We both need each other and I just hope that over the years we both remember that  as we slowly work out our new relationship.  It is probably going to be a hard slog but I am hopeful(naive?) that in the end we’ll both make it work.  Nobody wins, other than our enemies, if we don’t realise our mutual interests.

To one more time quote from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy the answer to life the universe and everything is 42.  I think makes so much clearer.
