Director British Council Wales. Back in the homeland after postings in Afghanistan, East Asia and Egypt. Would be comedienne but clashes with diplomacy 😆 Likes all things international, politics, culture, education, languages and comedy. Views my own.

One of my favorite times of year when I was living in countries which observed this peaceful period.
Sending love and light at a time when the world needs it most 🕊️
