• A love letter to the European Union

    Dear European Union, My relationship with you began on the day I was born, in the mid 1970s. As with all relationships, ours has evolved as we have grown together. I was unaware of you, even as I travelled with my family to visit other Member States during my childhood, and into my teens. We…

I can probably trace my interest back to at least 2003, which was the year I first installed the Thunderbird email software, followed a year later by experimenting with Ubuntu as the operating system for my laptop.
