Any updates on wally?

I mean you had two in a week you insatiable gremlins but FINE yes okay have some pictures of Wally going boat shopping

I call this one "Draw me like one of your French buoys"

This is the one where he fell asleep and they towed him away and hooked him up to an anchor, but taken before he fell asleep. Seems to be enjoying the sun.

Here he is trying to use a ladder (spoilers this was not successful)

He actually decided this one was too small.

But so far, you're thinking, these are all just charming images of a rascal! Elanor, you cry, you describe this beast as a criminal! A ruffian! A ne'er-do-well nereid! How can he be any of those things?

Well, let me show you, Anon. Let me show you.

Here he is commandeering a fishing vessel, thus STEALING the LIVELIHOODS of those HARD WORKING FISHERS

But British fishers mostly voted Brexit, so maybe you aren't sympathetic. Well, fair enough. But what would you say if I told you that he's back to his old tricks again vis-a-vis BLOCKING EMERGENCY SERVICES

THIS IS AN AMBULANCE BOAT, WALLY

GET DOWN THIS INSTANT

And finally, if his theft of a working ambulance weren't enough, here he is capsizing another boat. JUST LIKE he did in Tenby.

I warned you all. I warned you all he was up to no good. I warned you all this is an obstinate demon youth in need of an ASBO. But no, none of you listened. You fools. You played right into his flippers.

This is the first post I've seen of Wally so I don't have backstory but uh, maybe he is helping.

A small biographical note on John Bridgens.

In honour of Terror Camp day, which I'm an eager attendee of, I thought I'd finally post some digging I've been doing lately.

Unlike his counterpart in The Terror, John Bridgens was not in his early sixties, but joined the expedition at 26, and came from Woolwich, Kent. He was the Subordinate Officers’ Steward aboard Erebus. Being endlessly fascinated by the way historical fiction can subsume historical identity, Bridgens piqued my interest particularly in the way he has been wholesale lifted from his historical counterpart to become a brand new character. So I went looking for him. What follows is conjecture on my part, but I'm putting it out here as I continue to fact check. This is all subject to correction.

The facts at my immediate disposal were Bridgens’ details on the Erebus muster (ADM 38/672), and a reference to his mother Harriet Richards in the allotment books for Erebus (ADM 27/90/93).
