Pulse for Europe in Braunschweig.

 

The big banner outside the Schoss in Braunschweig city centre.

 

Pulse of Europe is a pro-European citizen's initiative founded in Frankfurt, Germany at the end of 2016. It aims at encouraging citizens of the European Union to speak out publicly in favour of a pan-European identity.  As Europe is facing democratic deficits, the imminent Brexit, as well as the as popularity of  right-wing populist and nationalist political parties,  the initiative aims at counteracting euroscepticism.

 

 

A group of about 100 people came out to support peace and friendship amongst the peoples of Europe.

 

I gave short address to the audience about the group in Bath, who meet on a Sunday to promote peace and unity in Europe.

Off to Hannover in the Morning.

Orchids growing in the Herrenhausen Gardens in Hannover.  I spent a day in these gardens some years back, and they are well worth visiting if ever you visit the city.

By suitcase is packed, all 21.5 kgs of it, so I'm all set for the off at 08:25 on Saturday morning.   I fly to Hannover, where a friend will meet me at the airport.   It will be nice to spend three months in my second home again. 

We are off to Germany on Saturday 29th April.

Norbert and I are off to Germany on Saturday.
