Wish I could read some Dutch!

Forget the mail I just sent for directions.....I found a Dutch truck driver delivering to our plant in Sweden and got him to translate the site and he found the directions for me!

The up-side of which is you will have another visitor as he wants to come too.

Big Grin

See you there

It was a lovely show, on Sunday. I was glad the migraine that kept me away on Saturday, was sufficiently diminished the day after.

My nephew, dressed as a Medieval knight, really loved it; an Iranian friend who joined us, was glad to learn that the spangen helmet was an Iranian invention.

Sorry to have missed you Jona. Next time, July perhaps?

No she wasn't Jona - at least she was very happy, but we're not wearing spangenhelmets! :mrgreen: as these are Danubian developments, the Iranian ones are Ridge helmets! Wink

Lööks as if our Gladiator display and the huge Palus we had in our Gladiator school for children was quite overlooked picture wise. Sadly we did not take pictures on Saturday and Sunday was to wet to get good impressions. :-(

I do admit we joined he rooster on short notice though.
