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.....!

Surviving a Hurricane

I’d originally decided that I was to move on again today, further up North, however, on wakening to the rocky blasts of wind buffeting Wally in the early morning, I decided that it would be a wise move to stay put, and do what any ‘retiree’ does on a Monday morning…. read the Saturday/Sunday papers…

I stretched the morning, reading, exercising my brain with Sudoku,crosswords and other puzzles, before eventually conceding that I just couldn’t do nothing all day, and so, as the wind continued to rock Wally, I decided to drop the roof down, and go out for a walk on the beach…that’s what you do in a hurricane isn’t it ?

I must say though, that considering the strong winds across the campsite, and on the cliffs,IMG_7784 as I dropped down to the rocky coves, and beaches it was quite pleasant, the sun was shining, fairly warm blasts of wind, and me indulging in my usual ‘geology’ without knowing what I was doing !

I spent a couple of pleasant hours wandering the coves, almost getting cut off by the advancing waves, then back, up the cliffs into the teeth of the stormy winds, and back to the campsite, and an early night awaiting the winds to subside, and ready for a move in the morning…
