I can remember no time from the past when the future looked so uncertain.
No one actually knows just how Brexit is going to impact us.
Hearing of huge queues at airports, flights delayed to Europe, passport checks which used to be easy now being made complicated doesn't help. Here everything seems uncertain...our electricity bills seem set to rise..as do all our fuel requirements..
The number of times I hear the words...."But of course we don't really know that just yet."
Mrs May, clearly under pressure is trying very hard to stay positive but her words yesterday "There is no repeat referendum." betrays a nervousness that grows daily.
We are all anxious right now....all our bills look set to rise very soon. Maybe once we know the terms of our divorce we should be given the opportunity to vote again.
We really can't blame the EU for not making it easy for us...they feel let down and betrayed.
The people who so far have been taking credit for our altered status in the world are looking decidedly dodgy right now.
Hate crimes against our immigrants are reported daily...we are feeling insecure and the need to blame someone is the result.
We can have no way of knowing what's coming...but the way our politicians are talking to us right now doesn't help. They seem not to know either!
I say again...I am glad to be an old woman...with any luck I can sit on my cloud and be an observer.
The next few years are looking very dodgy!

I find the doom and gloom misplaced in terms of Europe. We are making a dogs dinner of it,while the Europe bunch are playing hard ball,to extract 78 billion pounds from us as a divorce settlement - pure greed and no evidence to support it.
We put more money in than any country except Germany, who no doubt are behind the stance taken by the Commission negotiators
It's time for a reality check- if we were to immediately cancel the act that put us into Europe, we'd cease to be a member immediately, and perhaps might be able to have a free hand to negotiate trade deals without being hog tied by European rules.
