With England not playing and lots of family in The Netherlands it makes sense for The Princess and I to support Holland in the Euro 2008.A little while back I asked my Dad to spend a Euro or two on
some bunting and send it to me. Expectations were exceeded when a parcel arrived containing bunting, t-shirts, hats, feather boas, balloons, paper napkins and plates and orange confetti. 
Today, with Holland's first match looming, I managed to round up various family members to climb up ladders, blow up balloons and hang precariously from upstairs windows while I offered
artistic direction and cups of tea.I'm very pleased with the results even if half the balloons have popped already - thanks to Dad there are plenty of spares.
Last time we did this was for the World Cup and, even though we did have some England flags too, some passerby took umbrage and lobbed an egg at the house.
Hopefully Holland will make it through the Group of Death - otherwise I will have to persuade everyone to come back and take it all down again
