Meeting with German diplomat

A very interesting meeting at County Hall, Truro, with a representative from the German Embassy in London this afternoon.  A briefing on the European Resettlement Scheme and how German nationals are engaging with it. (To drastically simplify: European nationals have to register with the Home Office post Brexit to make sure they can stay in this country - should they want to.)
It was on the level of a short information session at the London School of Economics - a great and much-needed opportunity to learn about what's going on.
Very many thanks to Cornwall Council's Brexit Officer, Carl Warom, who invited me to tell the gathering about I PACKED THIS MYSELF.
(Carl, before his current incarnation at Cornwall Council, has a background in philosophy  - and I always think this must come in useful in his current job).
It was great to pick up the newly printed cut-out cardboard suitcases on route. We'll be using them in our new workshops. Many thanks, as ever, to Derran at BJ Press for doing such a great job.
