Begginings

Hi there everyone!! yes its me Gwillam. firstly let me tell you about my journey on that fateful day down by the river...



It was all going so nicely Rob and I were going for a little trip to the river when my foot slipped off the railing it wasnt Rob's fault he definately didnt push me! I thought it was the end my whole life flashed before my eyes as I hit the cold water. I really thought i was a gonner. The current was so fast it dragged me down stream for hours, i was very cold and damp but i managed to grab on to a log.



I was washed up on the bank of the river Arie in a little place called Ferrybridge some twenty miles from Leeds. This was mid October so as you can imagine it was very cold. As i'm sure you are aware Giraffesauruses are made of very strong stuff, and i ray mears-ed it for the next four months traveling by foot and living off vegetation and discarded food items and fashioning places to sleep from whatever i could find. I made it back to Leeds about two weeks ago. My ordeal has taught me that i need to absorb myself into each day and do as many new things as i can, and see all the sights i am able to. I'm so busy these days i doubt you will even see me i dont stay in one place for long as there is so much to see!!
