History

Yesterday was a day of new history being written, in a momentous kind of way. I must confess that I cried a tear or two, moved by the enormous step in the right direction that was taken for Northern Ireland, the troubled place I hold so dear. Don't even know if I have thought it possible, despite the developments over the past years. And there is so much still to be done. But nevertheless, it has to be said, as first steps go - this is a big one. Ian Paisley and Gerry Adams. At the same table.
