I awoke this morning to the news that the vote was in and Britain were out. I have to say it hasn't quite sunk in. I placed my vote on Thursday evening fully expecting to remain in the EU. The thought that a campaign to leave, riddled with rhetoric about closing borders and fronted by amongst others, UKIP's very own Nigel Farage, seemed like such a remote possibility that it hadn't even entered my mind that Leave was a possibility.

The outcome was a shock! It would seem over time I have surrounded myself with likeminded people. My facebook feed is full of people expressing similar disbelief. It simply never crossed my mind that this would happen, and that clearly 52% of people hold a very different outlook. I worry about what the future may hold.

Right now the pound has slid to a 30 year low, the government is squabbling for power on all sides and the primeminster has resigned. There seems to be a rise in racist outbursts all over the country and Britain feels like a very divided place. It remains to be seen what will happen, over the coming months and years but right now I feel that Britain has lost something, something that we may now never get back.

Happy birthday, Dad! 65 today! Looking forward to celebrating with you! xx

This is just a quick note to wish mum a very happy 60th birthday. We're sorry we can't be there to spend the day with you but hope you enjoyed last weekend and have a great time at the seaside
