Journeys from Wimbledon Common. Travels inspired by the Wombles. Tuesday, 21 August 2012. Despite the best efforts of some persistent fog - which delayed us for 24 hours - my wife Helen and I got back from Alderney last night after an interesting weekend. Helen hadn't been to the island before, but I had, in 2009. We also took our own Alderney Womble with us! So what's changed since 2009 in Alderney? Wombles Exhibition (photo: Helen Matthews). We had to do something! We couldn't allow the Labour Party.

Journeys from Wimbledon Common. Travels inspired by the Wombles. Monday, 10 September 2012. Her Britannic Majesty.'. One of the icons of our travels - the passport - seems to have had a makeover, while I wasn't looking. And what a peculiar beast it is now. The inside front cover includes those famous words we have all learned by heart (ahem.):. Then, after a couple of pages of small print explaining in about 25 languages the intricacies of the holder's signature, expiry date and so on, the passport reach...

Journeys from Wimbledon Common. Travels inspired by the Wombles. Friday, 4 January 2013. Those post-Christmas Wombling Blues. It's the end of the holidays. 'Wombling Merry Christmas' isn't playing any more (except when you open the cupboard to get some crockery and the musical mug starts up - not sure what the electricians updating our light switches think of this). The Orinoco costume is back in the cupboard. How do you get through these winter days without a touch of Wombling? Posted by Neil Matthews.

Journeys from Wimbledon Common. Travels inspired by the Wombles. Sunday, 11 November 2012. My other half has kindly put a summary of 'The Womble Project' (as she calls it) on Virtual Tourist. VT is a very useful travel resource used by thousands of tourists and travellers from all around the world. So it's heartwarming to think that, in our own small way, we might be creating a new trend in world tourism - a Womble Trail. Or maybe not. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the information and the pictures.

Journeys from Wimbledon Common. Travels inspired by the Wombles. Thursday, 7 March 2013. Wombles from Kent - shock news (except they're not).

Danger On the Old Pull'n Push. And adjusted the headline accordingly? Because, as you and I know, while a. Womble may have been inspired by a man of Kent, the implication that all.

Journeys from Wimbledon Common. Travels inspired by the Wombles. Saturday, 22 March 2014. Six degrees of Womble separation? Maybe it's just the effect of spending time writing a book related to the Wombles, but the world seems to be turning more and more Womble-tastic - at least around me. The other day I mentioned the book to a colleague (in the office where I work with around ten others). He said: 'Oh, really? Did you speak to Marcus? What a small Wombling world it is.
