I also have a some rubbish times too but we can't appreciate life's ups without the downs.

Suz just love your honesty. And you sharing your journey 😊 Snow is so beautiful. Love how the weather keeps us on our toes LOL. We used to only boil the jug when using a gas cooker and to fill a thermos flask, once that was empty repeat. It always meant I had a hot cuppa when needed + saved gas. What an awesome job!! You are doing really well! Maybe you have found home😊

[@suzybeetravels]

Thank you lovelies 😊 The flask is a great idea. It's a beautiful place and I'm settling on well. I feel happier here 💜xx

You can be brave and scared. Brave is being scared and doing it anyway 🙌

Thank you Teresa, yes that is exactly what I am trying to do 😊 Aww thank you so much lovely 💜xx

[@Calmmind-living]

Nature heals, especially being surrounded by trees which reduce your stress, anxiety just being around them, so you're in the best place you could wish for right now. Glad to hear your taking steps to see a more positive perspective , just be kind to yourself and allow things to just pass, your doing better than you think you are , keep smiling and concentrate on the good things each day .

[@suzybeetravels]

It really does heal. I feel happier here than I have anywhere and despite the wobbles I know I'm in the right place. I know the down days are inevitable but I'm trying to embrace the up days to the fullest. Thank you 😊 💜xx

Lovely video the snow looked so beautiful. The awning is looking really cosy and homely now. You are doing really well it’s early days just keep putting one foot in front of the other, it does get easier and your confidence will grow. I always try to remind myself when I am down or struggling that like the weather the storms of life will pass and the sun will come out again. I am hopefully finally getting my reconstructive surgery on Thursday after 4 years and 3 cancellations so will look forward to watching your videos as I recover. I hope you have a great week x

[@suzybeetravels]

Hiya lovely, thank you 😊 I'm trying to remind myself that this is all really new and considering the timescale I'm doing ok. Best of luck with your surgery lovely sending love ans healing vibes ❤️💜xx

Aaawww loving you looking a little happier. You are doing a great job. Love how you have the Awning set up. It looks so cosy sitting looking out on the snow falling, and it gives you so much more space and allows the wee doggies to wander about. Great setup, huge well done. Loving your vlogs xxx

[@suzybeetravels]

Thank you Gwen 😊 The awning is a brilliant addition it's helping absolutely loads. It was cozy watching the snow from there ❤️xx

[@VintageRVAdventures]

It sounds like you have found your happy place at that campsite Suzi. A safe place too. Good news about the coolant not being lost, or not in any great quantity at least. Samantha said she likes the look of your awning carpet. Your awning is well set up with equipment. Some friends introduced us to one of those air fryers, but we have not bought one as of yet. Agreed, you must put things that make you unhappy behind you, life is too short to take problems with on on your life journey x

[@suzybeetravels]

Hi lovely John and Sam, it is has definitely turned into a safe and happy place for me despite sometimes feeling a little low. I really love it here. The awning definitely helps having that extra space. I am keeping my feet towards the future and not looking back 😊💜xx

I hope your Easter goes well, writing this Easter sat pm. Stay safe, oh well done for driving in that weather too. I’m a wozie when it comes to snow and driving.🙈🙈 keep smiling 💐

[@suzybeetravels]

Thank you Mave 😊 Oh I'll definitely look up that poem. I like reading new things. It is so stunning up here but the snow made it 10 times more special. The road network in Scotland is really well geared for the weather unlike the rest of the UK 😂💜XX

That’s great to hear, glad to see you are getting yourself all geared up in the awing. Is it a private camper site your on? It sure looks amazing xx

Well done it takes guts !! I know you say you’re scared, but you did it !! Just a little note about your blue gas bottles, they don’t run well in cold temps so don’t be chucking them out yet lol you may find once the weather warms up they work fine 😍 love the set up in your awning now it looks fab 🤩 take care hunny ❤ keep up the good work !! Xxx 😘
