...again. That's if it all doesn't go belly up of course.

My nomadic lifestyle is soon to have its wings clipped and I'm feeling ok about it this time, maybe it really is prudent to stay in one place for a while.

Are you a nomad? Would you rather settle in one spot?

I've only ever lived in a 10 mile radius of the same town. It's such a beautiful area with very friendly people and a community spirit. I don't see any reason at all to move.

I would move though if there was a good enough reason, but I just can't think of what that reason would be.

I'm unsure.

I've been in the area 16 years now but it's never felt like "home"

When I lived in Essex it never felt like "home" even though that's where I grew up.

I love my friends here, but would defo move closer to the boy child if I had the chance, although I worry that may feel less homely than here.

I'm just really fucking glad I never leapt and moved to Leeds

That was a well and truly utterly dodged bullet!

I've never been, too far north for this southerner.

Where are you off to Topsy?

I've been a Nomad for my whole adult life.

Never sticking to one place longer than 3/ 4 years.

In December I made a commitment to a place that's mine - I love it but I have to confess to being a little worried about boredom and itchy feet.

How lovely to feel so settled.

I lived in Richmond for a while, had my first baby there in 1983 and loved it, spent many hours down by the river.

Have you found a place yet that made you consider staying for a while?

Where do you fancy? Traveling so much makes it easier to decide, loads to compare for eventual perfection.

Gosport. Completely new bit of the world for me. I've found a cracking little place, beautifully renovated in a perfect spot of sun and quiet.

Do you love your place?

After I retired, I spent four summers catering festivals, loved it but it made me see that I can't do that forever and actually, I like coming 'home'. Still got a couple booked for next year though.

Hence your location!

Does it ever worry you or does the thought of settling make you nervous?

I often get itchy feet, I have moved countless times, settling down doesn't make me nervous, I'll be staying where I am for at least a couple more years.

Pop some flowers on me dad's grave if you get to Houghton cemetery please, he'll appreciate that, too far for me to get to regularly.

I have lived in the same place all my life.

Am starting to think I would like to see somewhere different but it is a scary thought.

Nice - Gosport is by the coast isn't it?

Sounds like nice place to retire - with the occasional Festie thrown in

Sounds amazing - remember you dont have to stay

North Bucks

Been in the same quiet village for 12 years now my longest by far. As a child and teen I was moved round so many times and in the end hated it. Although the circumstances and country I came from was quite bad.

I would probably move again but that would be back home. I miss being by the sea.

Grew up the nomad life constantly moving, staying anywhere from minimum 1 month to maximum 3 years as a kid. Last years of school were spent away from home.

Since leaving school I’ve moved 10 times, all within London except for two. I’ve got possibly two moves left to do and that last one will be where I stay for good.

There and to the left a bit

I have a few contacts down that way Topsy if you need any local info - just say the word and I'll ask the questions

As for me, the nomadic lifestyle has always appealed but I let myself get sucked into the rat race at an early age and never lived much further than 30 miles from where I grew up.

My idle day dreams though see me giving it all up, buying a narrow boat and just idly cruising the canals and rivers seeing where the flow takes me and what paths it opens up....one day

Ive been in the same place a few years now.

My ideal situation would be travelling the uk by narrow boat doing some agency work here and there to survive.

Ha! I have a feeling that the only reason to move again wont have anything to do with my life choices.
