Rolling On…

Well I didn’t get very far with the “political” post, so I’ll save it for another time. My constant travel continues, and I’m taking a short pit-stop in Manchester, before heading for the Netherlands for a week, and then crossing Central Europe and the Balkans to get to Greece.

I was in Dublin for the first Inter-Isles Young Greens get-together, which was great fun. We managed to achieve the perfect balance between socialising and serious stuff. Highlights included going on my first Pride march, and developing a taste for Guinness. The next event is in Edinburgh, later in the year, so I’m looking forward to that.

While I was in Ireland, I managed to squeeze in a trip over to Co. Galway to visit family. Rural west of Ireland is quite a contrast to Dublin, shown most clearly in the difference between a pub in Cong with DJ Eamo (bored looking man in the corner with a laptop plugged into the speakers), and pretty much any pub we went to in the capital.

Anyway, ’twas all fun, as, hopefully, the rest of Europe will be.
