A furry visitor from the west

WALT aka West Australian Lone Traveller, is a teddy bear Susan from Jacana blog rescued from a thrift shop. She set him off on a trip around australia with a backpack and a travel journal.

Walt arrived on my doorstep with his backpack on Friday, I was excited to see him. He was so adorable, I gave him a big cuddle(shocked me, I was cuddling him before I knew what I was doing, he's a charmer), and let him hang out on the lounge to watch some telly to recuperate after his long trip. Our house was the first stop on his whirlwind tour of the country.

He came out with us on Saturday night to a 40th birthday party, and in true dress up style, as a flying monkey from the Wizard of OZ. 

Partying it up, we were warned.

  

He hung out with the kids, sometimes just laying around on the floor, coz he couldn't keep up, and getting cuddles, possibly from sticky fingers, but coming out pretty unscathed(thank goodness). 

We took him sightseeing belted in with Izzys 'baby'

Walt left yesterday, and is off for another adventure somewhere in Queensland, so if you're in that part of the world, keep an eye out for him loitering around your doorstep. He really is bloody adorable and no trouble whatsoever. 

 You can keep up with Walt and his travels on Susan's blog, on the Totally Thursday link up.
