Sue and Scott's wedding in the UK and Holland

It was nice being back in the UK again. And I said the first thing I would like to do is to sit in a beer garden and have a nice pint of lager. Unfortunately the weather in the UK wasn't that good the day we arrived, but we went out and sat in a beer garden. Hiding under a parasol to stay clear from the hail. Oh well you can't win them all.
Finally the big day arrived. The bride looked stunning and Scott looked great in his family tartan and kilt (Scott is Scottish)

Sue and Scott's wedding was great. The ceremony was held at the Town Hall of the picturesque Cotswold town of Woodstock.
They had made a big effort for their reception and it really paid off.
They had organised to hold it in a barn with great views of the country-side.

Just the winter before the barn had housed the farmer's cows.
Scott said for the reception they had to remove a layer of manure deposited by the cows who stayed there for winter which is now visible on Google Earth as a big pile behind the shed.

The barn looked immaculate, as if it had never housed any animals.

Speaking about animals, near Caroline's parents house we saw a field with mixed farm animals in it. Sheep, goats, horses, miniature horses, cows, longhorn cows, donkeys and pigs.
There was one naughty pig, the farmer had to chase on his quad bike, we enjoyed watching it.

In Holland we had even less time, but we managed to have a nice time.

One of the things we did was to go to Amsterdam and watch Holland play against.....? Eeehrm,.. another country. Main thing is. We won.

Oranje madness even at the Red Light District
It was nice to see our family again and we had a great time, hopefully we'll have some more time next time around.
