In today’s world there is very little of this, we are forced to, the powers that be would say more cajoled in a sort of way to tick cookies, fill in personal info for databases, provide ID at every turn and be recorded on CCTV !
I think it would be almost impossible to be off grid
A basic phone
No passport
Pay cash for a bills
Be self sufficient
Live in a tent
The internet
Well I would fall at the first hurdle and so would many of us … we are all addicted to our phones, in theory they don’t make us fat ! Well it depends if you know how to order a deliveroo takeaway ! Eek
I love travel … it means I meet up with my husband and get to see amazing places
On to paying cash !
Well almost impossible these days … and more so during this pandemic, you have think is it all a ploy to get us staying in one country, less movement and eventually to phase out cash in certain countries!
Awww the self sufficiency dream, like The good life
Seems a lot of hard work, stamina, effort and your completely at the mercy of the weather plus not a country girl
let’s just skip the camping .. it’s never going to happen
And last but not the least, the final one, the internet – its not even up for discussion, I need it.
I personally find it’s easier to be invisible in a big busy City, with so many shops, bars, cafes, markets, apartments, homes, gardens, rivers and canals
Until the next time …

A secret diary of a call girl – Belle de Jour
(Billie Piper as Belle, who says … )
‘…..I love London, I love its rudeness, it’s lack of community, it’s impatience and even love its weather, but most of all, I love it’s anonymity’
