Former MI6 chief Sir Alex Younger on Brexit: “Putin would have been absolutely delighted by our decision.”

“So would Xi. France has effectively eclipsed us. Brexit has marginalised us.” Most striking of all: “Just nobody mentions the UK.”

Ceannbhán - literally 'White Head' is the Irish name for Bog Cotton (Eriophorum augustifolium) which is in bloom in Donegal at present. The 'cotton' was used to stuff pillows in bygone days.
