May

Beyond trail running dreams, Piedmont is back on Rawls & Me with a glass of småparti red wine as the rain keeps pouring down. Given last year’s drought and forest fires, any precipitation is of course appreciated but still it feels a bit sad to once again wake up to 3 degrees outside...

Though always more of a symbol of the impossibility of actually delivering on a "Brexit", Theresa May finally resigned today. As much as I have disliked her ever since her rejection of Enlightenment values and cosmopolitanism in her party congress speech of 2016, she clearly has not had it easy over these past two years. With or without May, one can be certain that the road ahead is not going to be any calmer for Britain as the inherent incompatibilities of “Brexit” will remain on full display.
