Welcome

Welcome to my 2011 follow up to the hugely successful blog of 'Jotown and Wally on the road'.

Here you'll be able to follow my quiet 'lifestyle',as I wander around the highways,byways,mountains and trails of Europe, in my van affectionately called 'Wally', or further afield using metal wings !

If I'm around where you are, and you want me to call - or visit me...just let me know ..

You can follow my adventures and keep in touch by posting messages whilst I am travelling.

For those of you who are returning for the second season then I expect more messages than in 2010....... this year there is a counter of page views at the foot of the page, so I will be watching.....!

Dismal….It’s January, in Devon !

 

To say it was a damp start to the day,and year, is an understatement !

It was lashing down with rain, as we arrived in the centre of Brixham for Sunday morning Church services.

I went to mass at Our Lady Star of the Sea, whilst Dot went, and opened up her church, Fore Street Methodist.

I then ended up waiting in the rain for Dot’s service to finish, as it had started later than mine, and as I pondered life – and the remnants of society wandering around Brixham http://www.brixham.com/ on a rainy Sunday morning, it seemed fairly dismal –although I think it’s better in the summer !

Having done the important things, we got the papers, and went home…for some grub ! Papers reading was only disturbed b Rupert,sailor that he is… ringing up to take me out on the River Dart,sailing in the Rain ! – I politely declined, and continued reading the papers !

In the evening me and Dot returned to her church for a Taize’ evening service, good job we did, that doubled the numbers there ! So I had to lead the singing, and pretend I knew them ! Not sure I did them justice, but it’s the taking part that’s important http://www.taize.fr/en

Then it was back to Dot’s for a proper Roast Dinner,wine and an early night ..
