We have arrived….

After what feels like a few days of driving we have arrived in Rotterdam..after leaving at 7 this morning, a nice little drive down to Dover (in all fairness those cliffs could do with a white wash), a ferry across the channel 🤢🤢🤢 and then a drive to Rotterdam itself, it wasn’t all bad (getting the wife out of bed was the hardest part, oh and nearly driving down the wrong side of the road 😳😳) 13 hours later and we made it to our quirky home for the next week.

So tomorrow the fun starts, first to get the kit checked, opening ceremony and then a little knock about with the squad before our first game Monday!

This still feels very surreal to be here and to think I am playing hockey for my country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, but it’s happening!!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me to get here, I hope I do you all proud!

Now to get my head down for some well earned rest, looking forward to the week ahead, it’s meant to be boilio too! Water buckets at the ready I think.

So for now goodnight from Rotterdam
