My regular pub started celebrating today, and the festivities end on Monday night. I've been present before, it gets very messy, and the sea of orange burns into the retinas.

Greetings,
small world indeed....the Dutch monarcy is also interwoven with our own, as William III of Orange-Nassau was also king of England, married to Mary daughter of King James II.
and William V the last 'Stadtholder' of the Netherlands, was married to the daughter of George III of England.
That is just a small part...!
I wonder if my favourite bar is celebrating this...they seem to celebrate a lot of festivals....as they have a varied clientele of locals and tourists to the area...!!!
regards
