title A Postcard From Asperen, Gelderland, Netherlands - 9th June 2018 intro Nosher's over in Asperen, in the Netherlands, for old school-friend Martin's 50th birthday, along with half of New Milton, so it's quite odd being in deepest rural Netherlands talking to loads of people about Arnewood School and suchlike. Before the do, Nosher and Hamish - who's there after an overnight ferry trip from Hull - explore the town for a bit. Before that, Nosher, The Boy Phil, Gaz and Marticle are off for a high-speed 24-ish mile ride out to Tibenham, and back via Burston. imgp0938 Harry does some reading in the office imgc0602 Gaz and The Boy Phil at the Tibenham Greyhound imgc0603 The Tibenham Greyhound's bucolic location imgc0604 Gaz in the Burston Crown imgc0606 Marticle and Gaz in the Burston Crown imgc0608 The plane for Amsterdam imgc0609 A FlyBe advert on Norwich's terminal imgc0611 The East Anglian Air Ambulance in on the ground imgc0616 Norwich Airport has quite the collection of planes imgc0618 Spixworth from the air imgc0619 Spixworth and the new Northern Relief Road imgc0620 Somewhere over Amsterdam imgc0621 More of Amsterdam from the air imgc0622 A Martinair 747 Cargo on the ground imgc0623 Nosher's plane at Schipol imgc0625 In a tunnel somewhere imgc0626 Martin's robot lawnmower does its thing imgc0627 Martin's got a boat in the garden, in case it floods imgc0631 Hamish and Martin imgc0632 We head off to Spar in Asperen for some supplies imgc0633 An old car rumbles past imgc0634 Hamish and Martin in Spar imgc0635 Hamish chooses some bread imgc0636 Hamish checks out, with a loaf of bread imgc0638 Hamish roams around in the hotel imgc0639 We explore the dining room imgp0944 We have a picnic outside our hotel - De Schildkamp imgp0950 We're joined by Martin and the New Milton massive imgp0952 Hamish walks along a dyke imgp0953 Nice houses by the river Linge imgp0954 Fountain in Asperen imgp0956 A statue of a horse, opposite the Hervormde Kerk imgp0957 Voorstraat in Asperen imgp0958 A funky T25 Volkswagen van imgp0959 Martin's got a giant inflatable Old Codger imgp0961 A nice quintessential Dutch house imgp0962 The organ of the Hervormde Kerk imgp0964 An Farmall D-217 tractor rumbles down Voorstraat imgp0965 Another classic car drives by imgp0967 A house by Nieuwe Zuiderlingedijk is a bit overgrown imgp0968 The River Linge imgp0971 Hamish walks over the bridge imgp0972 A backwater of the Linge, by the KunstFort imgp0975 Asperen's KunstFort imgp0976 Looking back up Voorstraat imgp0978 There's a pre-party lunch up at the venue imgp0980 There's a dude in that really knows his salmon imgp0982 The salmon dude offers out some tasty smoked fish imgp0985 There's a special treat of flame-seared salmon imgp0987 Hamish and Martin scope out old photos imgp0993 Party lunch imgp0994 The casino people set up imgp0997 The casino's van is outside imgp0998 The tower of the Hervormde Kerk
