But this is UK's chance to Rejoin EU to repair massive damage, amplify UK voice in the world, improve EU, benefit from EU global agreements 🇦🇺🇨🇦🇮🇳🇯🇵🇲🇽🇰🇷🇺🇸

Post BREXIT Options: TCA ❌ Status quo. No significant advantages. Continued damage to UK. #RejoinEFTA ⚠️ Significant advantages, close cooperation, but not full EU market access needed to maximise economic boost. #RejoinEU ✅ Best for cooperation, participation, single market access & customs union 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Good [old] Irish articles reviewing UK and EEA / EFTA: And also the Single Market: brexitlegal.ie/single-marke.... Might need a cup of tea or coffee ☕️ 😌

EEA / EFTA – Brexit – An Irish Guide

Austria, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland and UK concluded the EFTA agreement in 1960. Its primary purpose was to liberalise trade in goods without pursuing the political integration objectives of the European Economic Communities; the EEC.  Finland joined in 1961 followed by Iceland in 1970 and Liechtenstein in 1991.

Rejoining customs union would not fix damage caused by Brexit, research finds. Rejoining customs union alone, would only repair a fraction of the damage. Rejoining the EU Single Market would go much further in fixing the huge damage. 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #RejoinEFTA now #RejoinEU asap

I was thrilled to visit the original water lily gardens that first inspired Monet and supplied him with his water lily plants. It was incredible with thousands of varieties and colors of water lilies. Serenade of Blooms Original Oil Painting by Erin Hanson, 2025 60 x 48 in #dailyart #painting

After visiting Monet's garden in Giverny last summer, I traveled south in search of the original water lily gardens that first inspired Monet and supplied him with his water lily plants. The Latour-Mariac water lily farm was incredible--there were thousands of varieties and colors of water lilies--in fact, this is where the original non-white, cold-hardy water lilies were bred. The colorful pastel hues of the new varieties became hugely popular across Europe, and Monet played a large part in popularizing their delicate blooms. To me, this painting of Latour-Mariac water lilies encapsulates the history of the water lily image in impressionism.
