Favourite Colour Orange?


So 30th April queens day, (yes I am late with the posting but I have been recovering!)
A huge excuse to party all weekend and have no memory afterwards!
A day full of live band setting up camp in the middle of the street (as seen in the picture) Every town has a Kermis A Fare with fairyfloss, A merry-go-round and many more rides) Mobile bars, Face painters, Entertainers, Children selling their unwanted toys and rubbish on the streets, With no laws enforced on queens day for selling things on the street (well maybe the husband and dog but hey can always try) every town is like a huge open air market.
This year I spent the weekend a little down south in The Netherlands at a my best friends, He was playing in his band and I went to see them, I was feeling a little under the weather but nothing stops me going out on a Saturday night!
A little round up of what happens on queens day is that you drink lots and lots, wear silly orange hats if you have them if not just wear anything orange at all, I have been known to wear a Dutch flag as a skirt and do my hair like pipi long stockings, then again I am not the most tame thing when it comes to going out and dressing up!!!
