Thank you so much Kevin, I really do appreciate what you've said - the power of a hug eh! 🥰. I knew it wouldn't be just me, but I'm sorry this stress affects you too. Haha shouting is good for the soul sometimes 🤣🤣. You're very kind, thank you. I always think Stevie makes things look easier too! Don't worry, we'll be happy to help when you get your van! Thank you so much for the love & support - it really does mean a lot. We've got catching up to do with your videos - we haven't forgotten. Hope you're all doing well too ❤️

I remember you commenting previously that you had a Karcher! You're right, it's a cracking little thing.

I know, I recovered haha.. It's not a problem really- we just have different requirements 🤣😘. A fiver is a reet bargain though for thinking outside the box! Xx

Thank you Lisa, i really appreciate that. You're right - a bit of self-kindness never goes amiss eh! Haha! Its an endearing quality isn't it guys 🤣🤣. Thanks again for your support, means more than you know ✌️

Thank you darling!! ❤️❤️ Xx

It isn't at all! No stress here... 🤣🤣😆

Happy New Year to you all too! Thank you so much & glad you enjoyed the video 😊. It was quite festive - although the prices...not so much! Ah that's so lovely of you to say, we really appreciate that. Still LOTS to do, but we're getting there. How are your plans looking for 2025? Haha it is a beast!! Dave does a great job driving it round the UK for sure 🤣. Thanks again for the lovely comment guys ❤️

Thank you for always leaving the loveliest comments - we really do appreciate you! Oh no worries, we need to play catch-up ourselves after a busy month. You're right about it being stunning, and so worth the visit. We hope you do find yourselves back there ❤️✌️. Thank you, we really appreciate you!

Thank you for the sub ✌️. Happy to have you along for the adventure ❤️

🤣🤣🤣 funny!

🤣🤣 it sounds like it doesn't it! No, I'm busy binning, sorting, bagging, clearing out etc for now... Plus, I know jack all about electrics! 😆

Thank you ❤️. Happy New Year to you both as well! Don't they - we weren't hungry at the time, but we get jealous every time we see them 🤣. You know, we didn't fully either - but glad to have helped. There were a few that had drying issues, so it may have been the cause. Omnia bread is the best isn't it. We always comment on how much we love that you use portable gas cookers. It's great to see we're not the only van with a 'store-away' option 👌. Here's to a great 2025 for us all - with many more adventures to come! Looking forward to staying updated with your travels, and congratulations on your subscribers!! That's fantastic work ❤️🥰

It really will! After a miserable Christmas (weather-wise only), we realised we had a real need for it! Happy New Year to you both 🥂

🤣🤣🤣 Happy New Year to you Both . Thanks again for the kind words .

Yeah such a great bit of kit.

Thank you 👍 I'm sure it won't be long x

Was an Awesome time missing F Troop on an Evening 😁😂

Thanks for the support, it was great to chat and your a lovely couple ❤️✌️ hope you guys have a great new year ..

Yeah been North is back home for me, so IKEA security did come to check us out but said we were quite welcome to stay there 😁

Oh we are too Lis. Just trying to get back in to making content 😂

We've had friends that have been really impacted by the ban at Scarborough, we tend to use roadside stops and mostly in the countryside, saying that there's one of our regular park ups that has had a hight barrier put up. For now we're still winging it and parking for the night not camping if you get my drift ( not hanging round outside the van seats out and so on ) how you doing ?

@@avancalleddignity unfortunately I never got to stop at Scarborough I work a lot lol, but that's the thing I work to enjoy my van and the countryside its very annoying when you go to a park up and its got a barrier on it, because people have left rubbish then blame it on us, I think youtubers need to make more videos about it, but its seems to be a bit taboo, I left a comment about it on another channel and they deleted my comment, I am doing fantastic thank you, and I hope you two have had a brilliant charismas.

@@LT35story funny you should mention the Rubbish we got into a conversation with one of the park rangers in the Cairngorms and he was bigging up the van community as they were the ones who were actually cleaning up after cars. Most of us don't eat macy,dees then throw it out the window. It's gonna take a lot of work from the community to prove our point that it's the cars and not the vans. I'm not sure why anyone would take down such a good subject for chat. Good subject for a vid our mates Stuart and Andrew vanlife did a good one on Scarborough 👍

@@avancalleddignity That's good at least one of the rangers understands, I think I saw that video if its the one I am thinking of, its a shame because I am only a stones throw away from Scarborough (ish) hopefully they will notice the revenue going down and want us back fingers crossed, What it is with big accounts they are frightened to become unpopular or offend someone lose subs and views, and half don't care because they don't actually live in a van, (we covered this before XD) I think its a good topic, with loads of content available, thanks for replying .

Yeah Holy Island is amazing thanks again for taking the time to watch .. hope yous had a great time. Did you catch up with the family?

Absolutely! Thing is, they also have an Irish Wolfhound with them too! ✌️

No it was the A1 in Northumberland 😁

Thanks so much for taking the time ❤️ we are on our Christmas road trip final destination that been west Scotland for Christmas day.

Thank you! It was a little unexpected, but such a lovely experience for us all ❄️❤️. How is Winter faring for you in Finland so far? Haha Lucky was having the time of his life 🥰. Yeah, we were really pleased with that - a good little shakedown preparation ✌️.

@avancalleddignity ooh sorry for the delay in my reply, has been crazy busy with all snow and everything ☃️❄️ Van luckily keeps warm very nicely inside, same as yours! Happy winter vanlife 💖🎄✨

It's such a gorgeous place isn't it ❤️

...and he knows it! 🤣❤️❤️

🤣🤣🤣 we'll make sure to include that in the next video! Thank you and we're glad you enjoyed it ❤️

Thank goodness for diesel heaters eh! We're doing good...and very much looking forward to seeing you over Christmas. Take care Dave 🥰

🤣🤣🤣... except trifle! 😜

He was a happy boy after getting his fleece 🥰. Ah you've been? We found it by a happy accident. It was a beautiful place!

Thank you! He's a very happy, cosy boy ❤️❤️

Ahh now this is the eye opener for me. It goes to land fill, and the pee just goes down a toilet or you can dilute it and use it as fertilizer! Biggest thing for us was no more elsan points 👌 Thanks and that's likewise ✌️❤️

Haha, the product name is great isn't it! We've been away for a few days and it's already been a great improvement 👌. Thank you, we really appreciate it!

Thanks so much! 😊

Thank you both. Exactly. We know from experience how difficult it can be to find a disposal point...but this changes everything! We've been trialling it out the last few days and we're so glad we made the switch. How's the new kitchen by the way...are the drawers issue free since Steve sorted them?

Thank you ✌️

They're not for everyone, and we never imagined Billy would fancy giving it a go... 🤣🥰. It's made so much difference to our freedom on the road! How are your adventures going? Looks like you're having a great honeymoon and we're loving your adventure ❤️✌️. Hahaha!!! Are you sure you don't want it for a spare?? Much love xx

🤣🤣🤣 Honestly, it's been great!! No smell, no mess and no hassle. It's not for everyone but definitely worth a go if you're interested ❤️ xx

🤣🤣🤣 why thank you!! If you are considering a composting toilet then we can't recommend it enough! It's simple, clean and odour free. We've been away for the last few days and it's been fantastic. Less stress all round and a great idea for car camping! 🤣🤣🤣 Liz is loving the new toilet set up! Take care guys and thank you ❤️

Thank you so much! We are incredibly lucky to ourselves a Stevie!! Ah ok, thank you so much. That's really helpful of you to share all that. I think we'd like to do it at least once, just for the experience. We'll definitely remember your tip about the food too!! 🤣. We've got a couple of your videos to catch up on, but are loving seeing your posts over on Instagram 😍. We look forward to catching up with your beautiful adventures. Safe travels 🥰

Thank you so much John 😊. It really is and with me finishing work on Friday we can crack on even more! Me too - they were some good days. I hope you & your family are well.

Thank you darling! How are you travels going? There feels like an overwhelming amount of things to sort (not just with the van), but we'll get there 😊❤️ xxx
