The BEST PLACE For Living In A Van (Dorset)

[@jeantucker2309]

Liam and Janine are so easy with each other and everyone they meet. It is very relaxing.

[@orapronobis2149]

I can imagine laying on the beach with the pebbles is so relaxing to your backs. Amazing all those rocks. Catching up on your video’s and so loving them. Thank you for taking us on your jouney’s across the UK and everywhere.

[@elainech6387]

Thanks for this wonderfully uplifting video. You’re a gorgeous couple. I’m especially enjoying your Dorset videos as I live in Poole. I’ve been to all the places on this and your previous Dorset ones. Sadly, as my husband has been ill with cancer and heart failure we haven’t been out much over the past 18 months or so as he’s struggling with his mobility. I’m loving seeing all of these familiar places without having to leave the house! 💕

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you for that lovely comment! We are so sorry things are tough for you 💚 It's great to hear your love of Dorset though, we are equally impressed with it

Brilliant episode, they just keep getting better and better. Portland is one of our favourites. 👍

Portland is something else isn't it?! Thank guys x

[@ThoseHappyDays]

It's so much better than we expected 😍

[@wdoll3783]

Hello, I have been enjoying your adventures and watching for 3 days now. I love your sweet laughter and love for each other. On my husband's side of the family, we had an Aunt & Uncle in Cornwall England he came to visit us in the states in 1996. I would sure love to live on a small farm outside of the city over in England the countryside is so beautiful and peaceful and absolutely love all the amazing little beaches. I did get to watch your 4 year wedding anniversary video. You looked absolutely stunning in your wedding dress alongside your handsome husband. The photos of the wedding were so romantic! I subscribed today. Will be watching throughout the winter it's freezing here in the US on the East Coast. I am a retired Nurse since 48 years of age due to Cancer there is no cure but a long longevity as long as the Doctors look after me. I am now 55. If I knew this was as fun as you two are having, I wish we could buy a vehicle sometime down the road if we can pay our home off and leave it to our two wonderful sons. And we could start an adventure of our own. Time will tell. Take care and enjoy safe happy travels together. 😊 ❤🦋🌹🌼😃

[@ThoseHappyDays]

You must! You will have a great time 💚 thanks for all your kind words

[@thelowwastevegan]

I always enjoy your videos and seeing all the vegan places to eat. Please get re-usable cups most places take them now and every cup makes a big difference to the planet . xx

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Our old ones split unfortunately, but we have some new ones now 💚

[@wendyclarke3979]

That was brilliant. When we were in Dorset, I was fascinated by Chesil Beach every time we drove past, but now I’ve been on it via this video. Thank you. Loving Dorset through your eyes. 💕💕

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you! Such an interesting and curious place isn't it.

[@wendyclarke3979]

Magical energies that’s for sure ✨ ✨ By the way, loving your chunks of shungite.

It's great to see the area from your perspective I grew up here. It makes me realise how lucky my family is to live here. I'm so glad you didn't get in the sea, I was nervous watching! Hope you liked the Secret Garden. Leonie

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Hi Leonie, yeah that sea was giving off some warning signs 🤣 thank you for watching and commenting. How long have you lived in Dorset for?

[@stephainerose8765]

Another great vanlife adventures vlog from Those Happy Days. Janine and Liam are so cute together and the food is so awesome 👌 Both of you are visiting such beautiful places and it's good that I don't do jealousy & envy ( which is a waste of time and energy). Love 💕 Janine and Liam and love 🥰 this vlog.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

You're such a lovely bloke 😀 Thanks David

[@karenking850]

Just loved this episode, loved the soundtrack and the photography and the pebbles and waves on the beach. I live in Australia and my 2x great grandparents were from Weymouth, before emigrating to Australia. So lovely to see where they were from. I am binge watching your channel and enjoying eating out with you at all these lovely vegan cafes. Great home vegan cooking in the van too.🤗😍

[@sandragoss62]

What lovely memories your both making. I like the way you include a tasty meal too. I just googled that beach and the under currents are quite dangerous even on the shore line so that’s why there wasn’t anyone in the water or paddling. Plus if Janines imagination is anything like mine there’s definitely an eerie sea monster lurking 😂 cosy times in the van ahead as the temperature begins to fall. Excellent drone filming 👍🏻🥰

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you Sandra, you have certainly hit the nail on the head with janines imagination 🤣

Porland is not an island but a pernisula there is a causeway or land bridge taking you to the main land. I was there when it was a naval base during the 1980s then it closed. Hms osprey it was called.

[@LoulouVioletCapulet]

I now want to visit Dorset!! Nice ending with the hot drink and the wonderful appearance of marshmallows and chocolate. 😋 ty and safe travels 🌹

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you, Dorset is such a good place to travel 💚

[@ButtercupcreationArt]

Portland is known as fragal rock.. Not long moved away from there.. Mind there are some old timers on there who have never left the island, I grew up on the part as underhill and time past people from underhill never socialised with the folk from tophill.. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Hi, thanks for commenting! We loved it round there, ended up staying for quite some time. One of our favourite spots in the UK 💚

Ooo is that one to recommend? We haven't seen that

[@aliharrison3018]

@@ThoseHappyDays Yes if you like animations I would definitely recommend. its a great Christmas animation. If you've ever watched the Raymond briggs animation The Snowman , its the 30 year sequel to that film.

[@liv_in_cornwall]

Beautiful video as always! I'm enjoying these vlogs more than anything else on youtube at the moment. One thing though, would love to see you guys using reusable mugs instead of the single use plastic ones whenever you get coffee xx

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Hey! 99% of the coffees we buy are compostable! Sometimes we get caught out and we don't have our reusable one on us, but the majority of the time we shop independent and always seem to be biodegradable packaging. Having said this, we both just got new reusable cups (old one split), which you will see not in the next video, but the one after that

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Ooo and thank you for your lovely comment 😊

[@liv_in_cornwall]

@@ThoseHappyDays thanks so much for responding and glad to hear you've got some new reusable cups! Just so you know, there are actually loads of problems with the 'biodegradable' label, its unfortunately not that much better than single use plastic in many cases; if it ends up in landfill it often won't break down in those conditions. Here's an article about it but obviously there's loads more out there: www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/what-biodegradable-really-means Not having a go by the way, I love you guys and its really hard to be plastic free, I get caught out too and I just think it's great that you're trying! x

Can you show us in detail your battery arrangement please. Thanks.

Yep another great vid👏👏condensation how will you combat that when the cold nights set in?

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Thank you, and good point! Maybe some sort of dehumidifier for the van? If they exist

[@peterdrury8859]

Seen a few youtubers use a handheld karcher battery vac to clear the condensation off the windows in the morning.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

@@peterdrury8859 yeah we have too, but don't fancy anymore bulky items in the van. We are currently using bamboo microfiber cloths to wipe the windows and then dry on dashboard, seems to do the trick for clearing it. We also see people use those big tin mat things for the front windscreen, but it looks too much like you have two people sleeping in the back of it haha

[@peterdrury8859]

Vanlife hey ruddy hell!!!

[@sandragoss62]

We got some foil insulation wind screen covers with suckers that go inside the van they help with condensation too. You get specific sizes for the vans windscreen and door windows.

Good vlog. It may be £8 to park for 24 hours, but that's just parking. I think you will find it states no overnight camping. Maybe you vanlifers/motorhomes etc should learn this. Parking is not the same as camping/sleeping overnight. Just saying. My lovely seaside town.
