Started the trip in Venlo (Holland) to visit my works head office, then spent the weekend in Amsterdam. Visited two more companies in Oxford and Kent then had a few days off to see people. Started off visiting my parents in Hereford and then headed off to Aberystwyth to check out all the work that's been done on Great Uncle Ken's house. Went for a hike with my parents near Aberystwyth (in the background)...

Back to Hereford then zipped up to Nottingham. Went shopping during the day to buy presents for Kylie and get Diana's birthday pressie. Stopped off at my old student house where I lived for 4 years.

Then went over to visit Ray and Emma - who is very pregnant.....

Time to go drinkies with the Nottingham crew that could make it at short notice. They were ever so nice and bought me lots of Turbo Shandies. I didn't feel so great the following morning and had to return, in a less than pleasant way, the bacon buttie that Ray and Emma made for me.

Time to head home and meet up with Colin and Diana and have some fantastic Roast Lamb and Roast Potatoes.

My Dad then checked my teeth out in the Surgery we set up in his house.

Headed back to London and stayed a night at Colin's place, before heading back to Canada and seeing my Wifey again!
