Greetings Telegraph visitors. It is nice to meet you. How are you doing?

My name is Stuart and this is my blog. Here you will find the bizarre but happy story of my life in Holland as an accident prone Englishman, the strange and humours things that seem to happen to me on an almost daily bases and my confused and baffled observations on the Dutch culture and way of life.

Below are just a few of the kinds of stories that you can find here:

  • An Unexpected Beginning – The story that started it all.
  • Dye Another Day – How and why I once got my eye lashes dyed.
  • Lift of Terror – What I did while trapped in a lift for four hours.
  • I Do – A lovely story about how I got married… for just one day.
  • Administrative Error – What happens when you forget to get registered in Holland.
  • Confusing and Baffling – The title says it all.
  • Train Ticket Criminal – Never forget to buy a train ticket… never!
  • Putting My Foot in It – How I once mistook some tourists for a group of prostitutes.

    • For those of you who do not know what I am talking about and might be concerned that I have finally lost the plot I am actually referring to an interview that I was asked to take part in recently about living and working in Holland as an expat. The interview was published today and can be found on the Telegraph website: An Accidental Expat in Amsterdam
