The new van seems to have given Ken a new lease of life. His delight of being all tucked up in a bigger bed and his mischievous grin about the scampi starter was great to see.

[@maryverhoeff50]

Nice seeing you both enjoying and getting used to your new campervan. No more condensation to deal with every morning, just open the screens and look outside and take your time to wake up 🙂. We have a similar setup in the couch/sleeping area which I really love. You both have a couch to relax on. So cosy when you’ve come out of the cold and put your legs up and rest against some cosy pillows and enjoy the luxury of the heater for some comfortable warmth….nodding off now and then 🥱.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

The rear u-shaped lounge is a game changer for us and being able to stand up inside the van at all times 🙂👍

[@MuddyDuck...]

Great to see you both enjoying your new campervan (Snoopy) in some lovely weather (finally). That clip of you nodding off in bed, perfectly shows why you have made the right decision to go bigger…👍 Enjoyed watching your footage of Whitby - somewhere close to my heart when much younger.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

That bed certainly is very comfortable 🙂👍

[@maryg.249]

A great start for Snoopy. Looks like you’ve worked out most of the kinks. Whitby looks like a delightful place to visit. I wouldn’t stay on that pier either. Stay with the diet plan, Ken! It’s worth it! Mary

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Mary 🙂

[@DLBass-op2ib]

Fish and chips looks so delicious.

[@janetbowen7854]

Brilliant, thank you. We use what we call winter crocs for wandering outside our campervan and slip them off at the door, they're crocs without the holes in the top of crocs in which you slip your foot. The moulding around the heel is deeper. They're brilliant if it's raining or if you're walking in wet grass, and really easy to keep clean 😀 Whitby looks great can't wait to visit. It's a shame that the Council has changed the parking system. Have a lovely weekend 🚐🍾❤️ xxx

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Must get a pair of those Crocs, they sound great 👍 🙂

[@fionaridley5011]

Absolutely no outside shoes beyond the step is our rule. Crocs or knock offs live on the van step tucked under fridge overhang (our van was a minibus so we have a recessed step inside plus electric step due to extra suspension/height) and I wear hand knitted merino socks as slippers in the van...can just slip crocs on. We're not clean or tidy types but that rule works! Still need to dustpan and brush most days too.

[@Debs785]

I love the names Ken calls Carol, Bunny, Charlie Brown, so funny.

[@annec8871]

Your van seems so cosy. Even at home, you might be tempted to wild camp in your garden. The town and the shops were beautiful. Thanks for the video.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I’m sure we will be doing lots of day trips out in the van. It is very comfortable 🙂👍

[@thomasraden3793]

You can even make a small traditional man cave on this one, Ken. I liked Carols hat, hand knitted Norwegian. I did a research, yes Orkney Island and the Shetlands were Norwegian in the year 1450. Lots of Norwegian names on places there, like Stromness, in Norwegian "Strømnes". Reflection on going down in weight. The last thing you notice when you go down in weight is your stomach. The biggest challenge as I experienced is to challenge hunger. Try to eat food that keep your hunger away. I did a lot of eggs and tunar fish. I got fed up with that. I missed potato and pasta. But its all about what you eat you need to burn regarding calories. I did a diet only of proteins, like meat and no bread, potato or pasta. I dropped lots of kilo in a few weeks. It resulted in gout. To summarise, eat careful with small portions, but splurge sometime.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Interesting about the gout would have thought the opposite if cutting out carbs. No potatoes, rice, bread or pasta is hard to maintain for long but I’m still trying ☺️

[@brianWHITE-zi5qs]

Fabulous van!

[@JonTanOsb]

You can get a dustpan with a long handle (half the length of a regular broom handle) and a little broom to match. Sometimes they come as a set and the broom clips on the dustpan. It would make sweeping the floor a lot easier with no bending. Ah, watching more, I see Carol has got a broom with a telescoping handle. Well, done. If you can fill your water just before you Wildcamp, it'll give you better mileage. Ooh, those fish and chips looked tasty. I haven't had a good fish and chips since the local pub closed. It's up for sale, again, so I hope the new owners give the business a go. At least we still have the one restaurant/cafe. With a population of only 150, we don't have many amenities. Cheers, Jon in rural BC, Canada

When I was a teenager the best chippy in Whitby were the Nibblers then my stepdad found another one at the same time that was on one of the back streets where all the locals went. It was just a takeaway chippy but the best, the onion rings, the scallop potatoes, and fish potato cakes were the best! Brings back happy memories. I can't remember all of the street names but when I get there I know exactly where to go and all the back streets and alleys. I love Whitby! I was born in '68, I remember age 1 believe it or not, sat on my dad's knee and him bouncing me up and down whilst watching "Paint your Wagon" the lights went out and I started crying. Woke up to a loud sound, I know now that is when all the cattle fell through the floor. My mother was amazed when I told her this, she said how did you know I replied because I remember! I also remember other things like getting in the cliff lift and there was a Scotsman playing the pipes. Oh memories! Ps forgive the grammar I have had vodka! x Ps, the cinema was where the toilets are overlooking the bridge and near to the train station.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We both remember seeing Paint Your Wagon in the cinema when we were children! Vodka is good on a Friday night 👍

I love Paint Your Wagon. One of my favorites. I spent last July and August in the Eagle Cap Mts area near Sumpter Oregon where they filmed the movie. There are active gold mining claims all throughout the area. Gold dust sparkles in all the creeks its amazing. But you'd have to pan alot to get any value. Beautiful, remote country.

And the little brown bear said, roll over, and they all rolled over...!! Great relax in bed. Easiest and another way to keep feet warm with hard floor surface... find a piece of old wool Wilton carpet, cut exact shaped mat to cover all area and have it edged will wool (the correct shape keeps it in place - can even put some underlay underneath - warm on feet, helps sound and easy to vacuum or shake outside). For tables & trays, get a collection of tea/table cloths (cotton/linen) or even place mats, help keep plates and cups steady and for any spills, just throw in washing bag, replace with clean one [find these in OP shops, as with other items, support local charities and keep out of landfill]. Napkins & serviettes, are very useful and can also be used to keep crockery and glass from movings in storage. They can always be great reminders of locations & travels, when you use them, recall their origin and the journey you were on. Wow... mushy peas!! Yum. Take care & stay safe. Kia Ora from New Zealand. 💜💜 PS: We regularly visited 'Ships Cove' in Queen Charlotte Sound for over 30 years (Capt Cooks base with Endeavour - parents met Queen there in 1969) and also Resolution Bay over the hill. Occasionally 'Motuara Island' where he lived and had a small settlement for some time, you can even find remnants of his exotic plantings there today, if you know where to look.

When I was a child, before my father had a car, we used to holiday at Whitby every year for a week, travelling on the train, to stay near the train station at a boarding house. The land lady was called Mrs Codling, funnily enough. We used to go to coincide with the Mackerel season. I detested fishing but my dad and older brother used to love it. Whilst they were fishing, my father tied me to the bollard with a rope, at the end of the outer pier, so I wouldn't fall in. One day going out to fish, when we crossed the bridge that took you over to the outer pier, the fishing tackle box came open and we lost half of the lures, hooks and weights into the briny, through those holes between the planks you don't like. Needless to say I wasn't very popular lol. Those were the days, no holidays in the sun then or cars for the masses. They are trying to take them back off us now ?
