Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 16 Romania

Last week saw our intrepid hero afloat on an oil rig supply vessel in the North Sea, having missed the Xong family holiday and rock festival in Iceland.  Despite foul weather conditions, the Captain  has managed to
put him ashore on the beach in Whitby.
He writes to his brother Malcolm,
Hi Malcolm,
Got dropped off by the supply boat last night in Whitby, just below
the Abbey, despite the stormy seas.
There have been reports of a large viscious black dog running about
loose causing mayhem.
Some think he's a Count from Romania.
Bit worried as Xui can't come until the weekend.
I can hear him howling on the cliffs as I write ....

Here is the page I made for him in his travel book
My postcard has been made using PanPastels for the background and stamping using versamark to catch the PanPastels and also black Memento ink.  The stamps are from Stampscapes (eyes) Crafty Individuals (Whitby Abbey) and Chocolate  Baroque (howling wolf).
I have been away on a crafty visit this week so everything has been a bit rushed today.  If I haven't been to see your work I certainly will over the next few days.  Thank you for your lovely comments I find them all very encouraging and look forward to seeing what everyone else has done on their travels.
