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.....!

Surprise Surprise !

Well,the big day had arrived,

I’d had a number of emails from Kate with plans for the evening,and I’d worked out what I was to do, even the Fancy Dress I was to wear !

IMG_8202I hid at the campsite doing housework and things,  until mid afternoon, when I had showered, and even had a shave,IMG_8206 to get rid of the grizzly ‘man of the mountains’ look ,although it was quite easy each morning not having to shave, but it had started to get ‘itchy’…so it went !

Then I was off, having packed Wayne’s special Birthday present ,his very own Campervan , what a nice Father in Law !IMG_8209So….let the party commence !

IMG_8215First of all a trip up into Speyside, with a quick visit to the famous Glenfiddich distilleryhttp://www.scotchwhisky.net/distilleries/glenfiddich.htm ,then into Dufftown for early evening mass at St Mary’s ,where I had been last Easter , then back into Elgin, to briefly meet with Wayne’s family, already ‘in costume’, who were off to give their son, his big surprise !, followed 15 minutes later by me, with another surprise !!

To say he was shocked !, there he was expecting all his mates to turn up for a party…and the family turned up !!…followed by his mates later – Great.

IMG_8218IMG_8226So, helped by a little wine,beer,lager, those shocking ‘little drinks’ and   a roaring fire  ,all the characters started turning up…Tiger himself, the ‘serving wench’ of a wife,2 wupee cushions,willy wonka,wilma (Flintstones) 2 ‘Wallys’,along with ‘Wheres Wally’,Werewolf,washing line,Stevie Wonder,lots of others and not surprisingly …the Wing Commander !

What a great night we all had, partying well into the small hoursIMG_8227
