This is awesome! Welcome to the European Union Justin Quentin Ames. Now you’re officially a British citizen, or even better, a European citizen.
Congratulations, Mr. Ames. I showed the top pic to Meg and she replied with a long “WHOOOOAAA!” and I had to agree. I’d read to her the idiocy of what you went through to get it, so she was relieved that you didn’t have to endure more, as of course was I. That is, indeed, a great accomplishment.
