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.....!

A Royal Celebration …in Elgin

We had prepared for the ‘big event’ by doing all the shopping on Thursday, intending to get some bunting,flags, and ‘wedding memoribilia’, ready for the big days events…

Unfortunately (it being Scotland) there was nothing available, so we decided we would just have to ‘pretend’…

Slight complications were that Theodore (cat!) was still unwell, and we had to take him into Vets at 4 p.m. Thursday…and ‘drat’ we had to return on the ‘Big Day’ to leave him for an X Ray, at 0900 !….

So, the big day arrived in ,now sunny,Scotland, we were up early, with television on, so as to not miss a single second …

although we did have to dash to vets, and back again…breakfasting on bacon and egg barms….and settled down to watch every second of the day….

Fantastic…England at it’s best….and a fantastic spectacle, oh, we wished we were there…still the television coverage was very moving..and fun !

We watched it live, immediate highlights, later highlights…and to bed, as the next highlights appeared !

Oh, and Theodore was collected with a ‘special (and expensive) diet’ ….hopefully cured.. !
