Coffee 'n' chat

Happywanderer · The Master

Me too Jules. 7 of us met up for coffee and a chat this morning. I think it lasted 3 hours or close to it.
Myself, Ken & Lyn Thomas, BarbandDaz, and BobandBev. Quite a group, it is a very warm day here, reached 20 degrees, sitting out in the sun at the bakery in front of Moama safeway.
Its great catching up with other nomads so we know who we are talking to on here. Barb has photos, as usual I forgot my camera.

jules47 · The Happy Helper

Yep - didn't have camer either - tho Bill took photo - but I must be the most unphotogenic person on earth!!!!

No you're not Jules. That's me. Enjoyed meeting Norma today, and had a coffee and chat. She's an easy person to talk to. Couple of hours went way too fast.
Had the Camera with me, but didn't even think of it.
Cheers,
Sheba.

It was certainly the day for nomads meeting nomads wasn't it. A great way to fill in a few hours.
Jules is that you and a friend in your avatar?

Travel Bug · Guru

Hey Jules....love your new avatar...
It does you far more justice than the previous pic that you posted.

BTW...none of you girls are the most unphotogenic person on earth...cos' I AM!!! smile

Glad that you had such a great catch up with billeeeeeee.....
I've always thought that he would be an interesting character.

Travel Bug · Guru

Marj,

Sounds like you had quite a GN gathering...

Sorry I wasn't there too smile

jules47 · The Happy Helper

That's me and my beautiful daughter -
Funny how we all had meets on the same day! Beth is coming down here next week - we'll head out for lunch, Pam might come as well.

Travel Bug · Guru

Sheba,

Isn't it good to put a face to the name!

I'm looking forward to catching up with Norma soon as well smile

Travel Bug · Guru

Which day Jules?

Let me know cos' I'd love to go and will try to arrange around it smile

Happywanderer · The Master

I thought you said you were unphotogenic Jules. Rubbish Lovely lady!!

Ma · Guru

Hey Pam, thanks for the phone call, great to hear a voice now cant wait for the face.

Just reading the meet up that's been going on around the place and maybe, just maybe, we might be lucky enough to rope some of the others into meeting in Toowoomba next week as well, what do you think?

So, if anybody will be in the Toowoomba region towards the end of next week let Travel Bug (Pam) or myself know and we can do some co-ordinating.

We have got to have a huge meeting , somewhere, in the summer , as I don,t get a lot of time off. Running your own business is a full time job. It would be nice . I would like to have a look at MYRTLE as I love older vehiclesand their owners.As the jews say, one day in Jerusesem.

Travel Bug · Guru

Sounds like a good idea to me Elaine... smile

It was great to talking to you too.

Looking forward to meeting up in person at/near Toowoomba. smile

Not exactly sure if we will be there by then Jules, will just have to see how we are travelling. We won't be leaving here till Sunday and we are going via Wagga to see my great grandaughter and then on through West Wyalong and up the Newell Highway through Warwick.

gillyb · Senior Member

Hi all, I seem to have missed everyone in my travels and over more than 5 months since I left home I haven't met up with anyone damn it.........but I am hoping I will be able to make it to Gunbower for the catch up there in November.

I will be leaving Cairns on Sunday and heading to the beach caravan park near Rollingstone for a few days then sadly will be making my way back to Vic over a week or so via the Leichhardt and Newell Hwy so if anyone is in that area give me a shout please

Even though I haven't met up with anyone else on this site I have met some really lovely people along the way and can't wait to be able to set off again one day in the future.

Happy travelling everyone smile

pauline · Guru

Hi Pauline how are you, I am so sorry I hadn't forgotten you but it seems so long ago and because of our other connection I was forgetting that we first met on this forum. How are your travels going did you end up going to St George?

I must point out to everyone I met up with Pauline for a lovely lunch at the Canungra pub just before easter and feel really bad that it had slipped my mind when I first posted on this thread, I can only blame old age or maybe its all the alcohol I've consumed over the last few months!!!!!!!!!!!!! confuse

pauline · Guru

Well as long as it is the alcohol I will forgive you, cannot believe that it was Easter, it will be Xmas before we know it and then there goes another year in our very short lives or so it seems. Yes we did a trip away for 3 weeks went out western Qld, St George, Windorah up to Longreach over to Emerald and a lot of lovely places in between, was great but had to come home. We have put the big trip off till next year, just didn't seem to be the right time, a few problems with son and heir, but I have been keeping an eye out for you in your travels, will be hard to go back to Victoria after all the warm weather you must have been enjoying, how will you cope with that.
I hope it all went well with your van and you have not had too many problems though I did read about your stalker. Keep in touch
Pauline

Happywanderer · The Master

Hi gillyb maybe come on here more often and tell the others where you are. You never know who might be in the same vicinty at the same time as you and can hook up.
Had a lovely afternoon with Barbanddaz and Ken and Lyn Thomas again today. Lunch at the Sportsmans Club in Moama, chatted for a few hours and a walk around the new botanical gardens being built.. The sun was out the temp was high, a delightful day.
Whose heading this way next??

Ma · Guru

I have it on good authority that Gnome and Basil will be in your town around the 28th I think Marj.
