Most honest van lifers on youtube, no Aires and graces just a normal couple being normal without any ulterior motive, keep it up.
Bloody hell that was the funniest rant I've seen in ages. Helen being so laid back made it even funnier 😅🏴❤
You two are so funny, likeable and honest. You bounce of each other all of the time and I think you're doing a fantastic job of entertaining us. My kind of dry humour and you make me laugh more often. Thank you.

"I'm getting a crap dog and a parka!" Absolute gold....
Brilliant video....hilarious 😂 17 dogs wearing Barbour jackets in a pub all fighting🤣🤣🤣. I'm just trying to picture it. Helen's 2 left feet flip flops can only happen to her 😔. The humour and banter between you are so effortless. Love the music you've chosen to accompany throughout your videos. Love your work.

How can anyone not like this channel. Helen is lovely. You lucky man! You are a good guy too James. Your fish and chip review was spot on. I am exactly the same. I have to say though, this country is dog obsessed. I personally don't like them. It's the smell and mess and I am allergic to the fur. I don't mind people having them on a farm or something as a working dog, but people now treat them equal or above people and demand that they can take as many of them as they want into restaurants and hotel rooms. It makes me gag. I work in a 'dog friendly' hotel and often see them pissing and shitting in reception and even in the restaurants. Disgusting.

I live in Australia and it's an amazing country I do miss home an this reminds me of days gone by But the DOGS everyone has a dog in every house (it seems) Now dogs are cool But the noise There is constant dogs barking I just want a bit of peace and quiet It's selfish in many ways We all have to live together and the noise should be considered between us all

You can’t beat the smell of the morning dew when camping, better than James armpits 😂
You two crack me up, especially with James ranting and pulling a muscle 😂😂
You’re a right pair of “dirty bottles”!!😂. Honestly guys you’re both a pair of fresh air. Whenever a new video pops up I watch it as soon as I can or it’s something to look forward to later. At times you remind me of a “walking sitcom”. “It smells like camping…that’s my armpits love”.😂. “James reviews fish and chips again next week”.😂. “It’s a shame these pictures behind me are screwed down”.😂. “I went round the pub to count all the Dogs”.😂. The whole rant was like a Del Boy speech!!😂😂. “Who needs 3 Dogs…well she does”!!😂. Anyways back to the vlog!! You guys can never fail because the banter, the connection, the van life is so natural. You can’t beat a movie in bed!! Its the best!! Those homemade breakfasts looked fab by the way. Saving a few quid and just as good in my opinion. It was lovely to see the castle and the people outside having a good time. Reminded me of the old school trips as a child. “Gimmick books” and useless gift shops!! It doesn’t need me to tell you the charges were a scam.😂. So we’re the prices of those drinks in that pub!! “We got a cost of living crisis going on!!…not round here”.😂. I loved the subtle introduction of classical musical as you hit the sand dunes. The roaring grey seas were so atmospheric and complimented the misty fog!! Also a fantastic view and how lucky were those cricketers playing under the shadow of such a castle!! I don’t want you both to get big ‘ed’s because I could go on and on. The quality of these videos are genuinely superb and it “looks” effortless. My only fault(hear me out!!) is we need more material. Maybe think about ideas for some “short form ones”. Just a meal, going for a walk, generic issues with van life etc…I completely understand that you can’t always spoil us with these “weekend wonders”. That’s an apt word because you guys are truly wonderful. At the end of each video you always ask Helen “what was you’re highlight then”? I can answer that question…”You” guys are the highlight. Best from Liverpool, Keep ‘em coming. 🙏❤️.x

This video brought back many memories from five years ago when me and my ex drove around all Northumberland, we loved it especially dirty bottle's pub .and we were going to rent a house in seahouses.. I had a massive vauxhall movano and big trailer so parking was a massive issue.
