We had the same issue with the glass top on the cooker in our Hymer. After a little trial and error the ideal solution turned out to be travelling with a fabric drainage mat under the glass lid. A perfect fit, cheap as chips from B&M and serves 2 purposes because you then use it to drain the washing up when not in the road.

I use the cheap square material draining mats you can get from B&M or home bargains for our cooker when on the move it's just the right size to go between the glass cooker top to stop any noise and then you can use it on top as extra work space so not to scratch the glass top😊 Have a good week wherever you are 🚐🥂

We have a webasto diesel heater but anything can go wrong ( it hasn't yet fortunately ) so it is always wise to have a back up. We always bring an electric blanket with us. On a 1 kw ecoflow delta 2 it can go all night if needs be. Did dib dib - be prepared ! On the camp site from the hook up, we also have a fan heater in an emergency. In a small van it is just as warm as the diesel heater.

In my van it’s the Corian cover for the sink that rattles. I place the dish cloth (washing up cloth?) on top of it to dry with one edge hanging down into the sink to make a tight fit between the top and the sink rim. I also put paper napkins, given out liberally by fast food restaurants, between my dishes and bowls in the cupboards to muffle their rattling. We learn these things as we go along, don’t we?

I know it’s built for tourists but it was a great place for our coach to pull in for a mid-morning tea stop.

What a surprise to see the village my mother grew up in, Brydekirk, didnt expect you to head towards Dumfries in that direction, your comment that the church sits in a dominant position was correct, mother attended Sunday school all her childhood and also Kirk every Sunday, until an adult then broke free of it. The service when I used to attend would never start until the local gentry lady arrived in the front pew, she had funded it over many years until her death. They had great influence over small village life, It brought it all back to me! Loved it.

The breakfast at Glen Caple looked delicious but I would have asked for the music to be turned down, as you say it is for the benefit of the staff not customers.

Not sure what year you were married , we were at Gretna Green in June 1995. It certainly looks different now, at the time there was a Scotsman playing the bagpipes in the car park. All good theatre for us Aussie tourist at the time 😊👍🇦🇺❤️

Love the dog! Beautiful scenery too! That curry was just what i wanted for dinner. Your’s looks so much better! Does anyone know the history behind beans for breakfast in the UK? I see everyone has them for breakfast.

If you cooker has a pull-out metal flap between the oven and the control knobs, that can rattle. My solution is to re purpose a silicone cooking spatula by cutting off the handle and using the wide blade of the spatula as a wedge.

I’ve just bought a piece of cooked chicken for our meal in the van later as I didn’t fancy cutting raw chicken. Your idea of cutting the meat once it’s been cooked is brilliant and I’ll try that next time! Always learn something new here! X

Nice video, shame about weather. Spent many happy holidays waterskiing on Loch Ken, north of the lovely town of Castle Douglas. If you haven't done them...Kippford, Rockliffe, and Kirkcudbright are lovely spots, especially in Summer.

I just been watching your videos, and I noticed the comment on the red pepper.. if you have any left over, slice it and pop it in a freezer bag and freeze it! Just cook from frozen, saves any waste 😊

Am loving your new van. We’ll be upsizing as have just put a deposit on a Westfalia Columbus 600. Love your little lounge area but we are way too lazy to make up our bed every day which is why we’re moving from a Cali ocean. Got a bit of a wait for ours. I do love your channel having only recently started following. Just a lovely watch. Both of you are super. I’m originally from Scotland do your breakfast looked fabulous to me!!

100% correct Ken, we spent some of hard earned aussie dollars (converted to pounds of course) in the Gretna Green gift shop, sure is a trap for overseas tourists 🤑, but black pudding ... you can have my portion as well, cheers, Garry from DownUnder
