Jeez Lilly, keep us up to date please. You had some folks worrying about ya.
It's great to learn you're having a good time, but could you share please. Some of us aren't on the road at the moment.
I just love envying everyone else and their adventures.

Totally agree CG. The last we heard wasn't lilly leaving Tamworth? Next minute we hear she's in 1770. How did that happen without anyone knowing?
These things must be written about so we don't all get withdrawal symptoms.

.. I'm a bit like Lilly actually .. Love this life-style but not into posting everything about it. Its nice to have a life outside of  "media-chat" and share only what you wish to share with others on here .. for me, communication is great but it's nice to have a choice when to exercise the privilege without feeling committed to do so ..

Jon

Absolutely Jonathan, but she might have come through this way and we could have met for coffee.

I am a bit the same way. I have no blogg, website etc and I travel when and where I want. Even the kids dont know where I am. They are lucky if they can guess the state.

When I am travelling I often go a week or more without even turning on the computer. When I am stopped at a friend place (as I am now) I use the computer to spend the early hours whilst they have their morning time before the worker goes off the work. (female works and the husband is home due to road accident).

As I don't have a time frame I cant predict where I will be or when, so I go from one place to the other as the mood sets.

I have been known to set off in the morning after thinking about it for a few days and then only go a few kilometers and stop again for a few more days so for me to say I will be here or there is impossible. Same as how long I will stay as I move when the mood dictates or the food or water runs out.

Might not suit many but that's the way I am.

Regards
Brian

I can understand that Beiffe as with Jonathan, but as I said on another thread there are so many on here wondering why they never see another grey nomad or their stickers.
You gotta make it happen, how many thousand are on the road at any one time. thousands. Unless one posts on here even occasionally or see another posting saying where they are no one would ever meet.

You have a choice. You can be a member on here and never meet in person, thats great. Or you can be a member on here and make the choice to meet others in person, make some very good friends for life and feel like you are part of a travelling team.
There are times when I am happy travelling on my own and other times when it feels so good to know you have friends out there who care about you.
Found this on facebook today, it says it all.

Sorry to hijack your thread Jonathan. Didn't think you would mind having met you in person and consider you a good friend.

No wonder Lilly hasn't posted for a while! She's just too busy. Enjoy yourself.
And in case you don't see any posts from us for a while it won't be for lack of trying but I'm yet to see if I have internet sorted out for when we are 'on the road' - starting tomorrow - for 5-6 weeks. Heading to South Australia - we'll feel like fish swimming upstream with all the other grey nomads heading north!!

I wouldn't be posting either if I was out with lilly. Have a great time on the water.
neilnruth, you should be heading north, it will be a very cold winter where you are going.
