    Ach I know honey many are gutted and many are happy ... it's a kinda 50/50 thing ( well not quite 50/50 but you know what I mean) ... but it's democracy working for us and we need to live with the consequences ... I remember discussing this possibility a couple of years ago but I remember people thinking I was talking rubbish and not wanting to listen to what I had to say ... I feel gutted that what I knew would happen has happened ... but ... we reap what we sow

    Not to worry what will be will be ... we will be fine ... xxxx

    Thinking of you and hoping the pain is easing slightly

    Thought this well said, I voted Remain, but I am proud we live in a democratic country, and as someone with faith I hope we move forward in hope and kindness to each other
