Good to see your latest. Am finally coming over for a half term holiday. First time to Fuerteventura. I know I’m going to fall in love with the island.

[@justhikingaround68]

Hope your back soon JP .. I do love my fuerteventura fix ..And no better person to deliver this than yourself 👍

Great to see you back John, nice dash-cam - many thanks for sharing your life in sunny Fuerteventura, keep them coming :)

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Thanks Shaun

[@PlanetImo]

JP!!!!! Great to see you!!!

[@paulcooney9063]

Hello JP fantastic to see you back showing us our favourite place to be fuerteventura especially with the dark winter nights coming back stay well 👍

[@steveingham3]

Really missed your adventures. Good to see you back again. Pleased Jason is on the mend. Hate it when our Milo isn’t well. Keep the input coming!

[@lesdrinkwater490]

Thanks for posting this video. Good to see your view of normal life. A belated Happy Birthday to Sue. The villa looked fabulous. I bet when you came back to UK you had to put on more than just a tee shirt. Thanks again JP .

[@nudgenudgewinkwink3212]

Nice update their JP hope the storms haven't been too bad all the best.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

It was like a weekend back in the UK but apart from one small leak we had no problems.

[@pedroalexnoelia]

Glad to see you again, thanks for the video JP

[@TinaReutin]

I loved seeing this new post. I can’t wait to visit again for Christmas. In the meanwhile, I will live vicariously through your videos. When you visit England, do you feel like a tourist? Your neck of woods in England looks quite lovely, really. Is Fuerte your home now? Belated Happy B-day, Sue! Nice rental. Thx for posting.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Well the Uk does feel odd. Soooooo much traffic for a start. I was there for 3 days before I spent any cash as everywhere was card only. I don't really have a "neck of the woods" any more. I grew up in West London which has changed beyond recognition so that it no longer feels like home. Fuerte is definately home now. Thanks for the coffees Tina.

[@simonking7164]

Always good to see your updates

[@williamstern9223]

Great to see you.

[@alanwrigley664]

As much as I love Fuerte - been at least 2/3 times a year for the last 30 years - it stands out in your video how lovely and green the UK is!

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Since we had the rain 10 days ago it is starting to green up here. Well green up Fuerteventura style.

[@simonlightfoot6585]

Hi JP. Great to see you still doing your video's. Best regards from Raunds.

[@angelrose7906]

It's beautiful there. Thanks for sharing.

[@liampoole238]

Hey JP. Great to see the new vlog, thanks for showing us around. I was over in fuerteventura for a few weeks over the Summer. Will be back for Christmas and New Year. Happy Belated 70th Birthday to Sue. Hope you are both well.

[@lesleythompson810]

Happy belated birthday Sue, congrats. I miss El Cotillo so much. I must go next year. Thanks JP for this, love fuertaventura. Love from the UK 🇬🇧

[@happyvaper5748]

Nice to hear and see yourself, Sue and Jenson once again JP, it's been a little while but makes the appearance all the more pleasing. Please wish your good Lady Sue a happy belated 70th birthday. And fantastic flashback clips, how time fly's. Good health and care chap's. Peace and Love to all.👍

[@amandahimsworth7469]

Arr hello JP lovely to hear from you . Hope your keeping well . Did you enjoy being back in the UK. Derbyshire is lovely 😍. And what a lovely villa Sue rented. Nice to see Jenson getting better . Hope to hear from you again soon . Your little granddaughter is very cute 😍. Keep well

[@joenasgoldie7222]

good to see you again JP was disappointed with your absence on you tube

[@evangeliamintzai6302]

Happy birthday to Sue!!!

[@JesterRlP]

Hi JP - Paul & Tanya here. Glad we got to see around the place - hiring a car for the week was such a great idea. We also went to Betancuria as you suggested - lovely place. Happy birthday to Sue. And can't believe I saw turtledoves for the first time too. Take care and look after yourselves. ☺

[@jnrss147]

Happy belated birthday to Sue 🎉

[@juliajenkins4867]

So great to see you, Sue and the glorious Jensen again JP. Very glad to see Jensen doing well after his leg troubles and the devastating loss for all of you of your fabulous Oscar. We get it. We lost our boy Gerry in similar unexpected and fast circumstances in July. We’ve taken the plunge again and been joined by the lovely Paddy the cocker spaniel pup in the past few weeks but we get that hollow dreadful grief of the missing piece of the family. Whenever you feel like filming and posting it to share we will look forward to seeing how you are all doing. Best wiahes, Julia, David and Paddy the pup 🐶

[@simonworger]

Suprised I'm not on the dash cam footage, I actually went the wrong way round a roundabout the other day LOL, driven here so many times and that's the first time I've done it.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Let me know where you will be driving and I will follow you ;-)

[@Helen-tw2lf]

What a lovely start to our weekend, A glimpse of one of our favourite places. it's lovely to see your vlog and update. Stay safe look forward to the next one

[@DAVIDPACEYPHOTOGRAPHY]

Nice to see you,and happy birthday sue all the very best wishes

[@JPinFuerteventura]

She says thanks David. Thanks for watching.

[@pc6365]

Hi JP, great to hear from you. We have been back to the Canaries a number of times since lockdown was lifted but we will always be so grateful for you vlogs during lockdown. They always lifted the mood. Keep them coming at your leisure, always great to hear from you. 👍👍🇮🇪

[@Nando07536]

Great to see you back, take care

[@tonithomas3268]

Great to hear from you again JP Just returned home after two fantastic weeks

[@simondickinson5111]

Good to see you JP

[@michaelcrainie5520]

Missed you JP. Thought you had moved back to Blighty or god knows what..Keep up the good work Sir, lots of people planned their holidays and trips out and about based on what you reviewed and kindly showed us of this fantastic island. I will be coming over in two weeks time from a damp and wet Scotland, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to Caleta de Fuste for lovely two weeks break in the sunshine ☀️ and can not wait to be back to our second home… All the best Mick..

[@kennyblincow6494]

All the best to you and your’s JP. We were back in Corralejo last month for the first time since COVID and loved it as usual. In view of the state of the world, we decided to arrange another visit in October. Escapism at it’s finest.

[@bazza8984]

nice to see you back

[@lesleyfielding8722]

Just returned from El Cotillo so Seeing a video from you cheered us up. Hopefully you will do a couple more to see us through until our next visit at Christmas. Thanks JP

[@horrgakx]

Great to see you posting a video! Looks like the car at 1:43 didn't slow for the roundabout and hit it, sending it off to the right. The skid marks are visible.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

I think you're right Dave

[@jeilleur]

Thank you very much for the new vlog JP (finally) Hope to see much more again mate, we will be in Corralejo in december, the whole month yeahhhh. Regards for Sue and you from The Netherlands!

[@stewala3069]

Boss to see yer back and ok JP 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@rosieblack2076]

Hi JP , lovely to see sunshine on such a wet day here in Norn Ireland. I just watched an old episode of The Chase, swear Sue was one of the contestants! Hair was blonde but very like her, said she liked working with difficult people, as that how you met! Lol keep up the good work.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

She was on the Chase so it probably was her. She also won 15 to 1 and the Weakest Link.

[@christianerardt3705]

Good to see you're fine, John. Lots of hugs

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Hi Christiane. Long time no see. I hope you are well.

[@PlanetImo]

It was nice to see a bit of your UK footage and see how Isabel has grown. :) I hope Jenson's knee doesn't give him too much jip. Poor old sausage. And hopefully the barbeque went/goes well once it eventually happend/s!

[@JPinFuerteventura]

It finally happened last weekend after being postponed twice.

[@alistairclyne9362]

Great to see and hear you again JP. Belated happy birthday to Sue! (I thought she was younger!) and lotsa love to Jensen. My daughter's in her 2nd year at Vet School, so if you time it right, when she qualifies she might be able to give you and Jensen some help in the UK at preferential rates! When you showed your trip back to the UK I simply saw 'grey above green' .... and then you flipped back to Coralejo and my immediate instinct was 'I'm back home'! Hopefully that'll be true one day, you're so lucky to have made the move before the World went mad. I'm hopefully coming back over to Fuerte next year ... it would be great to meet up for eats/drinks but if you prefer a more private life these days that's totally fine. In the meantime, take care and all the best, Alistair :)

[@kennyblincow6494]

‘made the move before the world went mad’…rings very true Alistair. From my vista here in Cumbernauld that’s exactly how I feel. Corralejo is a great escape.

[@alistairclyne9362]

@@kennyblincow6494 you’re not very far from me (I’m in Fife) so it’s not surprising we have a similar perspective. The thought of Fuerte in the winter is particularly attractive when we’re facing dark nights and crazy fuel bills. I’d rather pay rent in Fuerte for 6 months but family commitments will make it difficult for the next 2 or 3 years

[@anonnemo2504]

Good to hear from you again, JP. Nice dash cam! Mine doesn't have GPS. We're looking forward to a week in your island paradise. We're going to Morro Jable in December.

[@colinmccreadie1431]

Great to here from you again jp coming over in January for a week cant wait👍

[@treadheadpete4770]

Hello JP, nice to see a post from you again!

[@mylescarthy2468]

Hello JP, nice to hear from you again, was in Corralejo in August and it all seemed back to pre covid. All the best.

[@peterbrunsden380]

Welcome back, hope you are both well.

[@peterbrunsden380]

Really missing Fuerte and hope to get back there soon.

[@peterbrunsden380]

Finally getting over to Fuerte later in April, staying at jandia ,cannot wait. Hope you are ok JP. Best wishes.

[@denisecroft4987]

Yippee you’re back! Loved the video made us laugh.. Just returned home from a two week holiday in Corralejo so lovely to finally return to beautiful Fuerteventura ❤

[@Pete_L]

Nice to see you doing well JP, looks like some unusual rains on the islands few days ago!

[@JPinFuerteventura]

It was pretty heavy and long. Just like being back in the UK.

[@TeeTeeKoffee]

Thanks for the video! Got a bit curious there about the VIlla. How much was the rent for it? Mayby you could post its contacts, or something? Looks like a very nice place.

[@Charlies247]

Check in the video description. There’s some links that may help with that 👍

[@lighty9036]

Great to hear from you. Just come back from Morro jable missing it already.

[@rayrayray63]

Hi JP,, really great to see you back again,, we love the Fuerteventura Stuff ,,,, BTW,, Can you tell us what happened to Amelia & Sarah

[@JPinFuerteventura]

They stopped Ray. Sarah did tell me at the beginning of the year that they would continue but not so far.

[@mds303africa]

Cool video, where can one get details of that villa? It looks really nice👍🏽

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Wow just seen you are back, I was worried about you and hope all is OK. I now have your 3 vids to catch up on.

[@janetsimpson9624]

Hi jp good to see you back . I’m thinking of coming back to Corralejo in December with my husband . Are all the restaurants still open ? Or do I book a all inclusive hotel 😊

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Yes, everything is open

[@madplanet3351]

Yey. Nice to see you back John. We were at Bar Cafetería Aguayre a few times on the mtbs. May be back in a few weeks. Ha ha Willington marina. We're 15 minutes from there.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

We were there again today meeting friends, If you live close to there and are bikers do you know Mike Welburn?

[@madplanet3351]

@@JPinFuerteventura flipping eck. We weren't doing much yesterday either. My friend Pete Harris knows Mike. Another friend Chris Deakin knows him too.

@@madplanet3351 It's a small world. It was Mike I was staying with when we went to that marina for coffee. We started racing (Caterhams) at the same time 20 years ago and have been good friends ever since.

[@madplanet3351]

@@JPinFuerteventura. Fantastic. Bet you had a right good catchup. Nice place for a coffee ☕️. Shame didn't know earlier as we'd have popped over. Been back in UK 🇬🇧 2 weeks now and getting withdrawal symptoms lol 😆. Corralejo for 3 weeks in July which too long a wait. Might book January/February so hopefully see you then.

[@ianmac-uk]

Hiya JP nice vlog thank you.

[@CalisthenicsWork]

Just got back from Corralejo. Had wondered if you’d be out and about making a video while we were there! Getting back to a cold, wet, and windy Cornwall is a shock to the system

[@JPinFuerteventura]

I hope you had a good time. Thanks for watching.

[@markjackson5333]

@@JPinFuerteventura is corralejo better than coleta de fuste

[@markjackson5333]

Is it a good resort

[@JPinFuerteventura]

@@markjackson5333 It depends on what you like Mark. Personally, I don't like Caleta as, amongst other things, it is too British and it has awful man-made "beaches", but others love it. Horses for courses.

[@PeteGaryga]

Mercia Marina a few minutes from home when we lived in the Uk 👍

[@GGK1986]

Wow JP that villa was amazing,did sue rent that off someone online or word of mouth Thanks love your vlogs back in corralejo week on Monday 😎

Thanks Andy

[@stephaniewilson9551]

What a sweet dog you have. Vet fees are so overly expensive! Enjoyed your vlog

[@JPinFuerteventura]

They are quite cheap here Stephanie, relatively speaking. Both operations were only 550€ each, and for the second one they flew a vet over from Gran Canaria.

[@TomTremayne]

Only just found this John. Glad you're doing OK buddy.......from Tom

Hi John. I hope you are well. I enjoyed the videos. Was I sensing a desire to return to Blighty? Well, politics, I can't think of a more derogatory word to describe it,, is shall we say, intersting and we are all cold and starving, but nevertheless, we would love to have you back :) You could get a Mark 1 Escort to race maybe?
