Ha, and if I thought we would have stayed in the single market but quit the political structure, I might have voted leave! Though freedom of movement is important to me, I'd have wanted to preserve that too, but I doubt that would have been possible.
I don't think an import agent would solve my problem. I thought I might need phytosanitary certificates for some of my trees, and that would have been prohibitively expensive. I thought I'd have to give up on those. It turns out though that most the species I am propagating, or had plans for are simply prohibited. A few, I'd need a certificate for each species, and as I am specialising in diversity, that's not going to work.
Two bright spots though. A good friend has decided to move to France, and is looking for a house with land nearby. In which case, I'm sure I could wangle a corner for creating a nursery there.
And I've just realised that the great big lizards scurrying through the grass aren't green lizards as I'd thought, but ocellated lizards, a threatened species. I'd like to preserve them, as it's always been my aim to maintain if not increase the biodiversity there. There may be money in that. I could threaten conservationists with concrete...
