Image of an old woman in a green hooded cloak with ivy and holly in her plaited white hair. In the backgrounf is a wintery Irish landscape, a choppy seam Brent geese (who visit Ireland in the winter), and the rock in Beara said to resemble her. There is a deer fawn tucked into the snow as she blows frosty swirls into the air. #Ireland #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Folklore #Mythology #Art #TraditionalArt #HandDrawn

From top to bottom: Once Upon a Time in the North, The Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage, His Dark Materials (containing Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass), Lyra’s Oxford, Serpentine, The Book of Dust: The Secret Commonwealth, and The Imagination Chamber. A blurred background shows shelves with green candles and small plants.

Which brings us back to my original point, that a debate that engages the electorate on the nature of our military stance and relationship with the EU is so important.

A screenshot showing an image of a river, and the opening paragraph of the newsletter.

I retract my above statement concerning our respective maturity levels.
We're part of a Union, Stan - I think it's quite important to consider what our other partners in the Union are thinking, given how much benefit we reap from our membership.
Lyons Vs Barry's, just maybe?
