The Wombat at Castle Fraser

The Wombat arrived in Scotland just in time for the weekend, and was treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of Castle Fraser. He was able to pose for a few photos at the front and in the Courtyard, but particularly enjoyed his time in the shop. Does The Wombat carry a wallet?


The Wombat also discovered the Whisky selection. Fortunately the day was saved after a reminder that he was not old enough to purchase it.


He did however, have enough charm to make some new friends.


The Wombat also discovered that he had developed a taste for Scottish castles...

What does a Wombat wear under his kilt?

As a teaser for the forthcoming posts about The Wombat's visit to Scotland, here he is acclimatising...

A proud Wombat

The Pride parade took place in London on Saturday July 4th, and the Wombat went along to see the sights. He even took part - in a very small way - by wearing a rainbow bandana (although it was more like a cloak on him).

Here he is in Trafalgar Square, with Nelson's Column in the background.


And here's another shot of Trafalgar Square, in front of the National Gallery and the church of St Martin in the Fields.


The Wombat did a bit of flag-waving in support of the parade.


But mostly he just watched.


The Wombat has spent the time since his London visit up in the north of Scotland - tales of his trip will be coming soon!

The other travelling wombats

It's been recently pointed out to The Wombat that he isn't in fact the only travelling (or traveling) wombat in the world. He's not sure whether to be glad that he's got some fellows out there, or to be miffed that he isn't as unique as he'd thought... He did go and have a look at the others though, to see what they're up to. Apparently, not a lot... but here are some links anyway.
