Dear Friends,
The time has come
to tell you about some changes that will happen in my life soon, and
will also affect this blog. It's both exciting and sad news at the
same time.
Last year a
referendum about Britain's membership in the European Union took
place. Surprisingly to most, a slight majority was in favour of
leaving the bloc. People voted for different reasons, some of them
were personal, some emotional, and some people might have been misled
or uninformed. It might not have become the independence day that
some were longing for either, but hopefully there will be a good
outcome for normal British people and the whole of Europe. As you may
know, the VegHog is an EU immigrant in Britain, and my status along
many others was very much put into question due to these
developments. So here is my big announcement: I have decided to leave
the country.
At the end of this
month I will be moving to Copenhagen in Denmark, and plan to settle
down there permanently. My partner and I had been contemplating
moving for quite a long time, but the looming brexit made it all much
more urgent. He is a British citizen, and prefers relocating to the
continent. The move is going to be a bit emotional after over ten
years in the UK, but sadly I don't recognise this country as the same
welcoming place that I arrived to. I hope that everything will turn
out for the best, but there will be some uncertain times ahead.
Of course I'm very
excited about the move, as Copenhagen is my absolute favourite city
and I will then be closer to home. It will also be difficult in the
beginning, learning the language, getting everything sorted etc. but
we are ready. I will certainly continue blogging, however it can be a
bit quiet here in June, before I have gotten a proper internet
connection in my new home and so on. I try to keep you updated about
what's happening.
Now I want to
thank you for being my faithful readers and really hope that you will
be following my new adventures as well!
Your VegHog
