WELCOME TO WIZARDSTEVE.BLOG

I have been a wanderer for most of my life and have lived in a caravan for a number of years now, wandering about here and there.

However, the caravan is old and therefore in constant need of repair.

So, the idea is to build a caravan from scratch.

Then get back to travelling.

In this blog I will talk about myself and the cats that live and travel with me, as well as share my progress.

In life, I am lucky to have the friends that I do; genuine people who I love deeply and whose love I treasure.

You will ‘meet’ some of them as I share some wonderful memories.

There will be links to some of those friends’ sites so that you can also check out some amazing musicians and artists of all kinds.

Welcome and enjoy!
