Twente Stuff


Today was a very busy day in our corner of the Netherlands



It all has to do with the Harvest Celebrations and Carnival that the Buurse Parish Council organises.

As I have blogged previously many thousands of people come to our sleepy little community for the Party, Airshow and Fireworks. It is indeed very spectacular. However ....... We can not drive out of our own road on this day!

Major Cloggy had to give Major Suck Up to the Army Dudes that were on Parking  Duty at the end of our road just so we could get out to get to the Hockey Field!

Cloggy won the discussion and has been given a Field Promotion ... Colonel Cloggy. If he keeps this level of `i don´t give a feck´up we will promote him to General!

Have you ever had a sneaky feeling that your in for a crazy weekend?


This weekend it is the Neighbourhood Summer Feast. In our mad little part of the Netherlands they celebrate the harvest by putting on a 3 day carnival that brings over 50,000 people into the sleepy farming community. I had forgotton this and was soundly snoring away until I was woken by the most ungodly music blasting through the house.

 At first I thought that they had moved the feast site into our backyard and had almost resigned myself to no sleep for the weekend but then I walked downstairs to find a carnival float had been ambushed by Cloggy and his sidekick 'Old Dude Neighbour".


Yup ....... the boys had blocked the road and refused to let the float pass until quite a few shots of something very alcoholic had been digested. Needless to say the guys on the float did not put up much of a resistance.

Please remember that it was not yet 9am when all of this was going down ..........

 





Now a quick breakfast and then "op de fiets" to the carnival and showground.

Some times the best views are right outside your own backdoor .....


Here is a photograph I took last night whilst standing just outside the Cloggy Residence Backdoor. No camera gadgets, filters, flashes or fancy doodah crap were used. Just the old faithful family 'Box Brownie'.

I love it
. I hope you will enjoy it too!
