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.....!

Chillin’ and Dryin’…in the Sun

I looked out to see the black clouds still present, and not fancying another days soaking, settled for finishing my book, and lying in bed for the morning-and trying to dry my wet things hanging inside Wally –with the heating on !

However, by late morning, the clouds had started to receed, and the sun put an appearance in, so I rigged up the line, and hung my gear out to dry, and had a pleasant lunch sat in the sunshine.

As the day wore on, it got nicer and nicer, I had a meander around Fuente De,although the sun was shining, it was still cold, and I needed my jacket.

On the campsite El Redondo,was an old grain store, supported off the ground on stilts, with flat stones on the tops of the stilts –to keep mice out, and beneath it was an old cart, with wooden wheels, some of which were bounded in iron, others not. Also in amongst the old tools were an old sledge, IMG_6836and also a ‘studded board’, which I think was for breaking up the ground, although I’m still not sure –any ideas anyone ?

I returned and sat on the patio of the campsite, on what I’m sure in summer is a busy bar area (closed), watching the grapes grow and admiring the scenery…

Ready for a busier day tomorrow, and an early night.
