Proud as Punch to have just received invitation to the #Bavarian "New Citizens Reception" #neubürgerempfang in October at the #Residenz #Muenchen from @BayStMI Home Office Minister Joachim Herrmann & with Bavarian President @Markus_Soeder
This was the event held in Nuremberg in the summer for new north Bavarian citizens.
The southern Bavarian reception is held in the wonderful 17th Century Imperial Hall of the 'Residence', the seat of the Dukes then Electors and finally Kings of Bavaria until the monarchy was dissolved in 1918 after they "mislead" the folk into WWI

With pride, will do my best to represent my birth country that 1st gave me protection, #TrinidadandTobago. Also UK the country that I had always considered to be "my country" until 28th March 2017: 'Revoke Art50 day -1' when I went to local county council & started the process
Went to offices with only my UK passport. Dept for Foreigners was closed but the head, hearing of my anxiety to get in application before Art50 letter hit Brussels, took time to get me registered. Try that with a civil service in Germany or UK!
I shed tears of sorrow that day
My thanks to #Germany, #AngelaMerkel for her ceaseless attempts to keep #UK in #EU, to #BavarianGovt & my local council #Unterallgäu for their support but above all the wonderful people of #Bayern for your friendship & support over last 30 years & continued friendship for UK.
And if anyone thinks this is fake with a surfboarder pictured on the invitation card, you need to know Munich has excellent guaranteed 24/7 surfing facilities & Bavaria even has a lighthouse!
