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.....!

The Day they never forget….but, Don’t always Remember !

It’s 10 years now since I had my Birthday ‘Hijacked’ ! – I can remember what I did  that day, can you ?

As you may guess not being a ‘tele addict’ having returned from work, me and Susan spent the evening ignoring the World, having a BBQ, and drinking Champagne, in our secluded part of the garden with the Chiminea to keep us warm !, oh and celebrating ‘Jotown’s ‘Birthday !

In any event I’ll never forget that day, nor I suspect will most people.

I also spent the day answering phone calls, receiving texts and emails (which I’ve not been able to reply to,sorry).

Afterwards it was a final meander through the shops to Peasbody Park,where there was an ‘Acoustic Gathering’ http://www.acousticgathering.co.uk/  event going on, and free ! Lots of different acts on, a very striking stage set within a boating lake, with the ‘Dragon boats’ continuing to be rowed around !IMG_7782

Well, that was a different Birthday Party’ for ‘Jotown’

- Thank You Scarborough !
