VAN LIFE CORNWALL (we have a problem)

[@BrassLock]

I just realized that you two are such good story tellers that you don't have to film every actual event, Merely recounting the experiences you've had are remarkably entertaining, as you showed about the latter part of your short holiday.

[@marj1585]

I loved that bit too!😍

[@jimweidner5134]

Grrrrreat to hear your going to try and post weekly! A week without Ben and Emily is a subpar week:-)

[@MelG-ut3hs]

Thanks for taking us along on this fun trip. Cornwall is such a special place so magical even in the rain. I love the way Alan is so chilled and adapts to everywhere you happen to be.

[@susannahwhitaker994]

I so enjoy coming along with you on these adventures. So much fun , Thankyou 🤗

[@BenandEmily]

Thank you for watching! 😊

[@markd3250]

Yay for weekly again! A Ben, Emily and Alan video was always the high point of my weekly watching of KZbin videos. It's you guys, Vanessa and Zephyr's Mindful Narrowboat channel, and Danni and Joe that make my narrowboat viewing schedule each week. However, NOBODY has Benny's music except you. His style fits your lifestyle so perfectly, it's hard to describe. You two should have either an episode, or a part of each video where you read or tell us about the history of the areas you visit. You're quite entertaining as teller's of adventures!

speaking of being addicted to our phones - I got rid of all my social media accounts in 2019. I will admit that it was incredibly difficult for the first year. In the first six months I would sign back in and just look at Facebook and Instagram, but then I gradually stopped doing that. I remember thinking that if anyone wanted to contact me or say happy birthday or something like that then they could just call or text me. I’m sorry to say that besides some (but not all) of my direct family, only ONE old school friend has sent me a birthday text every year. No one else has reached out. Either I’m a shit human, or people are just totally reliant upon their social media accounts for basic communication and special occasion reminder purposes. These days I only have KZbin. That’s it. However it means that I get to catch up with you three lovely beings (Alan included of course). This is my story. Thanks for reading and for sharing your adventures. 🙂🐿🌈❤️ sydney australia

[@kimagangobrit4480]

Remember many, many years ago going to St Ives and spent a week sleeping in my car, a friend of ours smuggled us into a hotel she was working in, for showers. Cheapest holiday I've ever had 😂

[@sparsh415]

Getting to the pastry shop looked a bit of a mission but worth the sacrifice. I reckon you two have got wibbly wobbly luck like me which always comes good in the end. A "Ben and Emily" weekly again= Yay 🙂

[@patriciaallen6478]

Hi both, best news ever!!!! So glad you're coming back to our homes every Saturday at 6pm 😊 love to the 3 of you xx❤

[@BenandEmily]

Yay! Thank you!

[@sianwarwick633]

no pressure​@@BenandEmily

[@wendycrooks875]

Spent many holidays in Devon and Cornwall as a child in the 50s/60s. Tintagel was a favourite and my Dad did a lot of surfing around the area. Back in those days King Arthur’s seat and around was free and we could run around everywhere, a bit like Stonehenge, we have many photos of us three kids sitting on the stones. I absolutely love the whole area!

[@ernestpimlott]

I love Ben & Emily

[@ernestpimlott]

and Alan

[@simonc858]

Brings back happy memories of camping holidays in Cornwall, Tintagel is fab as is St Nectans, I used to have a friend with a cat the same colour as Alan, she was known as the Branston pickle cat x

[@martinkavanagh196]

Lovely ma Dears - It is so much more crowded now than when I used to go and camp down there .. mind you that was back in the '60s.

[@reatreatseclusion9891]

Hi, this video just found me and I subscribed, think you're such a great couple gonna enjoy watching your journey. I'm 64 and know one day I will be living on a narrow boat. That's always been my dream. Thanks for sharing 🐈😀

[@Daytona2]

Glad that you had a good time. The quality of the light is special. Lands End's a dump (like John O Groats) but, yeah, worth doing once. Nearby Lizard Point is the most southerly point on mainland Great Britain and more civilised. The pastries were amazing! You do show us other great savoury food that you cook.

[@karenreneevoets6616]

So Great!!! what a fun adventure! on my list to visit again! ! I was at Tintagel in 1977. I was so entranced by the histories of King Arthur and Merlin. The bridges were not there then. Thank you for the memories. Glad to hear you will be filming more. You both look very well and happy. I love watching Allan and hearing her purr.

[@gerrywalsh5766]

Here in Northern Michigan (Copper Harbor area) we have oodles of Pasty shops but only a couple of them are the real traditional style. The miners here (European) would always take them down with them for their lunch. I love them as they are basically a meal in a pie form. So yummy. Your music is always so calming... great work Benny.

[@jameslenahan580]

Thanks Ben, Emily and Alan (I love that cat 😂😂😂😂) I always save your videos to watch before I go to bed, what a fantastic sleep I have. Can't wait for more. Take good care of each other & Alan❤❤

[@1davhar]

Penzance is fantastic. Great pubs, great people.

[@BenandEmily]

We wished we had more time there! We will have to go back 🤗

[@simonbiggs9102]

So glad to hear you're starting to do every weekend again ❤❤❤

[@lynnecollins3284]

I just loved seeing the country side and have actually visited Tintagel and Penzance 42 years ago. Would have loved to try those yummy pastries. Love how Alan looked to be enjoying herself also. Look forward to the next video

[@julieboe1165]

i live in washington state usa..... thank you for going to many historical places and showing the beautiful old building styles of old england . how exciting to see the long boats and canels. you speak so beautifully in your english accent that i can understand everything you say. i love your pastry tours. we sure have dull pastry were i live. i love allen too. cant wait to see you every week

[@lindalee5866]

"...and that's how we like it..." said Emily! Love it. Heavenly tunes, as always. :)

[@rogerr1296]

Beautiful shot of you Emily @10:52. 👍 I'm sure it's a pain in the arse filming and trying to relax and enjoy the trip or just enjoy doing whatever you're doing so, thanks for that. It's greatly appreciated. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

[@annjarvis9300]

Lovely adventure and you got wet more ways than one Alan I’d just so laid back what a lucky cat all tc luv from the oldies 🤗🤗🤗

[@evelynsutton4411]

Oh, you lovely pair! Soo good to see you again. Your music Benny when you were in the cave was particulary perfect! A lovely video.yet sgain.

[@CoralBalmoral]

That's a beautiful Cornish wall behind Ben washing up 🤩

[@lisepalmer6293]

Lovely to see you in my home of Cornwall. I grew up at Tintagel, and Trebarwith beach. It's so magical. Love you're video's guy's.😊

[@hilsbeasley539]

That's brought back many happy memories of family holiday in Cornwall. We used to go every year. xx

[@DavidGray981]

I enjoy following your journeys, they are well presented and you tell it like it is. You are both very positive in your outlook to life and adapt to changing circumstances. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing it with us.

[@carolejones7470]

I love your travels, your experiences and sharing. The photography with Ben’s music it’s just beautiful. You are the highlight of my reflective journey since I’ve been enjoying you on YTube . Blessings on your continued journeys. BIG THANK YOU

[@satori169]

Nice to see you both having a great time in my home county of Cornwall. To see Benny amazed at the colour of the ocean lol! It's a beautiful place to live or visit with some stunning scenery and coastline, and beaches. I am fortunate to live above the harbor in Newquay with stunning views. Next time you visit get in touch, it would be great to meet you both and I could organise a couple of gigs for Benny... we would love to see you perform here mate. All the best 🙏

[@madusmaxamus8670]

You two talking about the pastry shoppe have me salivating like a hungry hound. Travel that far is out of my reach now, but glad you two were able to show it to us.

[@CoralBalmoral]

Lovely film thank you to both - and the ...showstealing... Great British weather...!

[@davidbell4755]

Hi Em, Ben. Lovely to see you enjoying Cornwall. Ham and Faye were in that cove carpark .. possibly the same time as you. The "castle' is King Arthurs Castle Hotel, I remember it from when we took you to the battle of Camlann re-enactment. Teacher's hat on... Amazing is spelt 'amazing'.. and as you guys use it a lot I thought I'd better point it out. Lots of love, Papa xx

[@natashab2304]

Loved this!! We went to Cornwall as well this summer. We'd forgotten how fab it is. So beautiful and other-worldly! Thanks for taking us with you - you are wonderful company 💖

[@denisemahood9162]

I always enjoy the mellow, calm, sincere and yet playful feeling your videos evoke. Even a leak and a wet van are experienced calmly. You are both very definitely 'half full' folks versus 'half empty'.

[@SallyCurrell]

Just love Cornwall. So many pretty places to discover. Great for swimming too. Fun episode to watch. Love you all xx

[@racebanning6390]

That Pastry cheesecake Cube NOMN0MNOM😋😋👍👍Great adventure, swim spots, caves, how good it is. And Alan livin her best life💚🤙🤙be blessed friends🙏🙏🙏

[@karenkrypner9154]

I was just like you Emily on those Cornish roads! Insanely steep whatever way you're going! Yes we did Cornwall out of season! Couldn't face all the people and craziness of busy times! Those cakes O M G !

[@landseaairphotography]

Loving the mix of canal and van trips. Shows us that will never get a chance to see, a bit more of the country that is England.

[@geoffwst100]

You make great vlogs I hope you keep up the good work keep supporting your dad with his treatment all the support helps get through a tough time having been there

[@maryjaneomalley9888]

As always spot on…each vlog is better and better! Perfect vlogs for a Boston evening!Thanks…take care!

[@KamaainaGirl]

Love your van adventures. Way to go Benny .... Pushed on to the Pub ... I dub you Sir Fearless Benny! This was an epic adventure . Love the cove y'all found .... beautiful place for a swim! Can't wait to see y'alls next adventure! Loved the sound track Benny and congrats on the new album!! Cheers and much Aloha💖🙏🌈🤙🥰

[@PixieLid]

I did a holiday in Cornwall in a high roof LWB transit (it was huge!) and we filled every lane we went down 😅 Luckily everyone we met had no issues reversing 😉 If you go back check out the Lost Gardens of Heligan, it’s beautiful and there’s so much to see!

[@yrobertson7504]

Wonderful new Cornwall video! Thank you - new music style Benny 👍🏻🩷 Sooo happy you are returning to weekly vlogs 🤩🥳

[@kaycee625]

Brilliant trip. Thanks guys

[@adriancastle9229]

Great vlog. When you gi back to cornwall have a look at Mevagissey, (small fishing village, ) and cadgewith cove, an even smaller fishing village. Iv been going to cornwall at least once a year for over 60 years! My favourite place on earth🙂❤.

[@carole3734]

Another good place, a clifftop walk from Mevagissey is Gorran Haven. It's a great place to be at high tide!!

[@ifadams2908]

Lovely people in my favorite places. Thank you so much xxx

[@1Life_Dee]

Love the content as always peeps.... ❤ Little tip - Put your phone in a tub with uncooked rice for a few days....i am regularly dropping nynphone in the local canal ehile fishing and it works 8/10 times.....

[@dfree1here]

So happy to see your smiling faces this morning! What fun adventures in Cornwall, now I have to visit ! Thank you both so much!❤❤❤

[@yvonnethorpe5224]

Really enjoyed seeing your Cornish adventures. Those pastries looked out of this world🤗 Alan looks like she had a great time too. Look forward to your next episode 😀👍

[@frankquevedo6001]

Ben, if u are going to ruin your Lady, Emily, you’re going about it in the best way ever! That cubed croissant look simply FANTASTIC!

[@KarenSFrancis]

Alan... oh look a bag that will make mum ask me WHY!!! Love the wood burner. Yes addicted to the phone. Where I watch you!!

[@Esther-rehtsE]

🥳🥳🥳You're back💜💜💜 That looks like a nice water to swim in, beautiful place there. Alan is supercool💚💚💚Being in Merlins cave, wow💖💖💖Btw; nice clothes!!

[@justineallen2535]

Awesome, so fun to see you guys even if not always weekly. We finally got out on Echo Beach and are on the Four Counties Ring. We think we just missed you going up the Mac as we came through. Ahoy to Alan!

[@trailingarm63]

Love Cornwall. I marginally prefer the Lizard Peninsula to Lands End, less commercialised. Nice hippy vibe, I think you two would love it. I usually use the Silver Sands campsite near the Goonhilly Earth Station. A nice walk from there to a beautiful bay & beach.

[@Supercat_1925]

This really cheered me up 😊 lovely episode..so pleased to see you three back regularly ❤

[@pattarrant8820]

Love the way Alan accompanies you on your travels. Xx

[@judymurphy3842]

Hi guys, thank you for taking us with you to Cornwall. Loved the journey & always look forward to a pastry shop. You are so lucky getting to visit these places. Glad you are bringing back weekly videos, or even every other week, depending how busy you are. Love from NZ.

[@dianekenyon586]

Great to hear you back doing vlogs every week loved this video in the van

[@darlenemiller847]

Always enjoy your videos. Blessings 🙏🩵🩷🐾🌸

[@julesstone7990]

What a lovely vlog! Alan at the end of it on the camp chair living her best life! x

[@ChristineMilcher]

Nice to hear that you will post a video weekly 🤩

[@StephenEwer]

Hi, The £5 overnight parkup does have a £2 credit card shower and toilet.

[@brightsky1000]

Love hearing and seeing the pastries :)

[@markross4730]

I went to St. Ives when I was about 12 years old. Had a fantastic time there. Hope you make it there soon. This trip looked wonderful. What a great way to take a nice little break!

[@roundhouses]

Glad to hear that you will be back with more frequent videos. Love Cornwall but these days we tend to go in the Winter especially if visiting places such as St Ives as it just gets very busy. I have to eat at least one Cornish pasty a day when there. Even had one pinched by a Seagull in St Ives.

[@andrewjohnson9896]

Another wonderful video guys. As full time vanlifers, we always travel out of season.

[@rosie9048]

❤ I got images of the Sean bean advert for Yorkshire tea but Emily storming through a Cornish field with a fist in the air shouting for pastry 🥐!!! Penzance is brilliant, my papas down that way in his van 🚐 and that pastry shop is amazing !!! I miss it so much ❤ highly recommend off season … when you go to stives visit blaas burgerworks! I would walk from the midlands to stives for that it’s well worth it. the sunflower burger rocked my world!! Just everything about Cornwall makes me happy, the people, the sea, the art and music 🎶 it’s a magical land :) Thanks for sharing your trip ❤ Peace love and pastries to you ❤ xx

[@scottlomas5509]

Thank you guys. We have a beautiful country 😊

[@emilyd1102]

Quite the adventure!!

[@claireskinner9077]

I love it when you take us on your van adventures - you always manage to find the coolest little hidden gems! Those pastries looked incredible!! Yay for more regular videos - I missed you when you took your break!

[@catherine999]

I watch your videos with a permanent smile 😀

[@desmondsouthwell3529]

Hi, Ben and Emily. Just a suggestion. If you head down to Cornwall again, and you have the time, a trip around Devon for a couple of days would be well worth it. I spent a week in Devon and visited Cornwall as well. Really enjoyed it, especially the pasties! Been down there twice. It's like a different setting to Cornwall. Love all your videos. So interesting.

[@AndyArnoldUK]

I had a little smile to myself when Emily said you had basically driven to Penzance/Cornwall for pastries…. Back in the summer of 2018, I drove my 18yr old son and myself down to Brighton (from near Lichfield), and home again the same day, just to try out a fabulous burger from a small “shed” under the arches… I had followed the owner and his Trollburger business, since he commented on an IG post by one of my favourite bands. All his meat and veg, etc, were sourced from local ethical farms. He’s now closed up, and is working up in Scotland somewhere. It was a great day, although very tiring as it was me doing all the driving. A great experience though!

[@lizwilkins5566]

Really enjoyed the video...Thankyou for taking us on the trip to Cornwall.....great to be listening to Benny's sound tracks ❤❤good news re returning to weekly content 😊😊

[@butternutsquash23]

welcome to Cornwall and Lands End is incredible and a must trip to do xx

[@johandemondt8028]

So a beautiful place and beautiful water

[@charlottewilson4680]

Thank you for sharing. I have read so many books that have taken place in and around Cornwell.

[@barbarascott4566]

So good to see you all on a trip.It's relaxing for you all that water.Just looked wonderful❤

[@tonyireland8895]

Great to see you guys.Love Cornwall.

[@human6.045]

I've just noticed you have installed your flue pipe upside down, resinous wood (if you ever burn that) will most likely run down and out through the joints. An easy mistake to make because we tend to think more about smoke direction. Good show 👍

[@deborahwilson6277]

Thanks for sharing your travels to Cornwall. I've not visited Tintagel before and the cove where you swam looked lovely. If you get to visit again Minack theatre near to Porthcurno, Mousehole and Newlyn all worth visiting - we've been many times having relatives who live just outside Penzance. Do hope you manage to get to the root of the leak in the van !!

[@JaneyH]

Fabulous! Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelbenton2518]

Just been to St ives last week in August, was busy ,but was so lucky the waves on the main beach All week were awsome ,busy body boarding with loads of people, I am not a crowd person but every one was big smiles and have so much fun,me and my adult son had the best time and loads of pasties we love the penggenna pasties shop and they have a shop in Tintagle .

[@gaiabreeze]

What a wonderful episode!!! I'm glad you're back, and I think better than ever. Thank you for being such a pleasant addition to my weekend here in Northern Michigan

[@philblay4330]

The Bridge at Tintagel is actually two half bridges with a gap in the middle.

[@roberthowe21]

Thank you so much for sharing such an epic journey. The scenery, cinematography, and views were priceless. I very much enjoyed the quaint villages and awesome pastry shops. I hope to one day visit and enjoy this magical place. 😊😊

[@valerieslater-t1v]

What a beautiful couple you are, and the background music is just perfect for the vision, thanks for sharing ....

[@BenandEmily]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@sianwarwick633]

Cornwall is definitely worth it. Beautiful. The roads along the south coast are all like that - lanes, and scarey pull-ins. Yah, I've been to south coast all of once. So glad you metbup with with your boat motor benefactors. Looking forward to any of your adventures - a friend has just driven yo Huddersfield to visit his son, and to eat fish and chips in Whitby. Totally get it

[@dingnextstop]

Emily looked particularly pretty toward the end of that video.. long hair and high cheek bones reminded me of a Beautiful Native American Indian lady… thanks for sharing guys..👍🏻

[@sianwarwick633]

😒

[@LucynaCavendish]

Emily has beautiful facial bone structure.

[@kathtaylor5544]

I always enjoy your videos. I watch you all the time and know you eat healthily so having the pastries is good for you😋, they looked amazing. We live in Australia but came from Surrey UK we loved Cornwall. Lands End is lovely but I feel it’s just a money making tourist place now. Still a lovely part of the world..

[@leejentaylor6195]

I went to Penzance in my big OE in 1990 - a place at the end of UK hey. Ben your music is fantastic

[@SarahPutnam-q1h]

It's so good to have you back 😂❤

[@joanne26]

The KZbin algorithm ‘found you’ a few weeks ago. I ❤ your travel videos. I do not belong to any other social media apart from KZbin I’ve just listened to a few of your songs Ben and you remind me of Nick Drake Have you heard of him? He was 26 when he died but he was so talented 😃😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍 👍 ❤️❤️😄😄

[@CarolWhite-il7ki]

Thankyou take care

Best News this week: You guys are going back towards weekly posts !!!!!!!! Big hurray or what?!!! Other good news discovered that one of my beloved Stratocasters hails from the legendery Custom Shop!!!!!

YAH HEY. I HAVE JUST FINISHED BINGE WATCHING "ALL" YOUR VIDEOS, I am so glad i have done this, watching from morning til sometimes 2am the following day it was worth it.

[@LC-d5h]
