Scotland - This could have been avoided

#vanlife #scotland #microcamper #campervanadventures So after leaving our last offgrid night parkup at Southend, Kintyre. We drove back north to catch the ferry across to Arran.
As we live in North Cumbria, we have used Arran as a hop back to the mainland on several occasions, avoiding the drive through Glasgow and long haul back down the M74.
It was a sad day when we finally caught our last ferry and after a totally mind blowing journey of over 2,000 miles, we were heading back home.

Aw thank you so much for replying to my comments and questions, sorry to hear about your beautiful BLUE , but bet he’s still a joy to have around you both, keep up the lovely vlogs and showing us parts of SCOTLAND we haven’t even saw 😊

[@the-other-windsors]

Thank you. Blue's condition is controlled by medication, including diazepam to help him sleep at night.🐕

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

Your back up stove and gas etc. We use the same size and type gas bottle as main gas supply on our campervan. Also I refill them myself. Cheers from old George 😊

[@the-other-windsors]

Hi George 👋 it's certainly a useful bit of kit. 🙂🐕🚙

[@MakeDoAndMend1]

​@@the-other-windsors Similar to yourselves. We sold our 32year old Talbot Express. Also our car and purchased a Bongo Campervan as an everyday vehicle. Cheers from old George and Jane

[@heathernimmo1772]

Yeah I bet it is, must be upsetting for you both and frightening for wee BLUE, I worked in the kitchens in an nursing home for 30yrs, so sad seeing the residents declining bcos of this awful illness, hope you are coping ok 💐

[@the-other-windsors]

Yes, Bernie lost his mum last July with vascular dementia. Horrible desease. The staff at her home treated her as family and a lot went to the funeral. Amazing people in some care homes.

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

What a wonderful trip. Thank you for taking us with you. It has inspired me to have adventures in Scotland. Take care Gill

[@the-other-windsors]

Hi. We thank you for coming along with us. Wherever you explored in Scotland, have a great adventure 😊🐕🚙

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Great ending to a wonderful trip. Was Bernie in the Scouts? Always prepared 😂 Would love to see a couple of sheep in your garden 🐑🐑 Look forward to your next adventure ❤

[@the-other-windsors]

Hi. Thank you. What an adventure it was! No, Bernie's never been a scout, but has been named by Getaway Geese as " Backup Bernie" and thank the lord he is! Not only good fir us but, his bits have helped many a fellow traveller. Honestly, sheep would have been far easier than the mower! 🐏🐑😁

[@heathernimmo1772]

Aw poor wee soul, hope he keeps well I have never heard about a dog with dementia, but I know he’s got a good mum and dad looking after him 🐶👍🏻

[@the-other-windsors]

Awh thanks. We do our best. Canine Dementia is very similar to human dementia. He stands in corners, dead still staring at the wall. Scratches at everything. Including the satellite box. Asks to go out, then seems to forgot why he's out there. It's hard sometimes 😔🐕🚙

[@getawaygeese]

Beautifully shot guys really enjoyed this one - loved the ferry crossing piece in particular. Oh no no gas ….. no tea … the world ends 😂 but it’s good to have other means and ‘backup Bernie’ has it in hand 🎉 Thanks for sharing g

[@the-other-windsors]

Thank you. That ferry terminal is quite the place! Back up Bernie..love it!😆🐕🚙

[@joshubrook324]

What an enjoyable trip you have had thank you for showing us. The final pleasure in being away is getting back home ……looks like a busy week or 2 ahead getting on top of the gardening😂

[@the-other-windsors]

Thanks for coming along Joe. It certainly was an unforgettable adventure and now we have all the vlogs to go back to. As for the garden...🙄🐕🚙

[@desmondsouthwell3529]

Hi. Further to our previous correspondence, I just watched your latest video and the sound balance seems a lot better. The mics seem to be doing the job. Thank you for your consideration.

[@the-other-windsors]

You're welcome 😊🐕🚙

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Lovely end to your trip Atb

[@the-other-windsors]

High thank you and ATB to you too 😊🐕🚙

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Another very nice video, thank you. When did you make this trip? Did you book the ferry inadvance, or just turn up? What made you downsize from your big camper? We ran out of gas on day two of a four week trip to Spain. No replace,ents available in Spai or Portugal so we used hook up and our hotplate and spend ages looking for a camping gas stove (I have three at home!). All worked out OK though. I now carry a camping stove a small canisters.

[@the-other-windsors]

It was 20 years old and costing too much for us. We couldn't afford a replacement of the same size but, we weren't ready to give up. 🤔🐕🚙

[@fontybits]

I hear Arran residents have solved their "no-ferries" problem - they now queue up at Dover, trying to buy cheap rubber dinghies! 😁😁😁

[@the-other-windsors]

Oh dear 😬🐕🚙

[@Hunterick13]

Inspiring, thanks, well done. Great videography.

[@the-other-windsors]

Thank you so much 😊🐕🚙

[@ShaneSmith-t7n]

Love your channel...

[@the-other-windsors]

Thank you 😊🐕🚙

[@heathernimmo1772]

Hello “WINDSORS” from us in “BONNIE SCOTLAND “ just discovered your lovely vlogs and so happy we did ,thank you very much for sharing your travels with us, love wee BLUE hubby and I just retired and couldn’t decide on a CAIRN or BORDER TERRIER so now have 10 month old white CAIRN what a handful but slowly settling into our lives, what age is BLUE , hubby loves your walking stick so would love to know where you got your’s as needs one bcos of his athritis, keep up the excellent work 👍🏻

[@the-other-windsors]

Hi. Thanks for watching and we're pleased you enjoyed it. Our Blue will be 12 this year and has dementia. Bless him. He's such a sweetheart and still has his naughty moments. He owns us, rather than the other way around. I bought Bernie his walking stick for christmas 2022 after his knee replacement. It was made in Laviv, Ukraine. It's amazing that even during the horrible conflict, there are still people trying to continue to work. Enjoy your wee doggie, we're sure he'll bring you so much joy...eventually 😁🐕🚙

[@fourbyforester]

Yes, great video again. The filming and editing is so natural, it's almost like real time coming along. 👍👍👍

[@the-other-windsors]

Thank you 😊🐕🚙

[@OntheRoadLiving]

A great end of an amazing trip. I like campsites that charge fairly like that one, I never want to pay £35 a night for my car and just me. Bring on your next adventure...

[@the-other-windsors]

Hi. Thanks for watching. Totally agree about site fees. We've paid £25 before just to park. We didn't need hookup but we're told...yes, but it's there if you want it! 🤔🐕🚙

[@paparobbo62]

Don't believe anything you read about in the press Scotland has the most reliable, best and cheapest ferry services in the world.

[@the-other-windsors]

We're with you on the Shetland inter Island ferries. Stunned when it cost only £11.40 to cross from mainland Shetland to Yell and onto Unst and back Amazing value! Even chased man down the deck, cause we thought he'd got it wrong!!😊🐕🚙

[@tramptruck4859]

It's the same here in N Ireland, fish supper = fish and chips. Supper means with chips 😊. I remember Sir Billy Connolly did a great sketch on the subject.

[@the-other-windsors]

Really, love Sir Billy Connolly. Well definitely try to look for that one 😁🐕🚙

[@colinblack7049]

Why does the gas always run out at the most annoying time. As you now know a fish supper is fish and chips. If you want the fish with breadcrumbs instead of batter, that's a special fish supper.

[@the-other-windsors]

Wow..thanks for the info. We didn't know that you could get fish in breadcrumbs at a chippie 😊🐕🚙
