Loved this, I live life according to my death bed. Great job thank you both 👍👍❤

We didn't have a major event but we did move way outside our comfort zone, I'd been in Germany for 33 yrs(no,not the army),so me and the wife sold the house got rid of most of our stuff got the rest driven over to a storage unit, got the dogs, jumped in our car and campervan and moved to Scotland, it's been pretty much a roller coaster ride for the last 8 months, Tring to get a visa for my wife(rip off),finding and buying a hoose!! and finally doing what we want to do. Life's short, don't wait for a wake up call, don't keep putting it off. ATB Chris.

We were also at Raby Castle on Sunday! Was canny tbf. Potters world is at Lanchester Garden Centre. Great for kids.

I lost my wife of 39 years last summer, we spent our life working like crazy people, we have two great sons and grandsons, we saved like mad for our retirement Motorhome and went without so many things. Basically we went to the NEC last spring, found the van of our dreams, ordered it, then she died suddenly before it was delivered. I'm going to attempt to use the van now it's been delivered, but the whole reason for buying this motorhome was for US to use in our retirement together. I'd advise anyone out there to live your dreams TODAY, and not wait for tomorrow.

This is something i fear so much. As Dani mentioned we had spoken to a woman at a campsite who was in a similar position to you and it broke our hearts to hear. Im sorry for your loss.

@@ChrisSloanes Thanks guys, very much appreciated.......keep living your lives to the absolute max

Loved this vlog! Wish we could afford to travel, both in our 50’s tied to our business 5 days a week and missed loads of breaks away Can’t see a way out to end the daily grind x

I have this conversation a lot. I think as kids we are taught you grow up, get married, have kids and the big house and car. This is ingrained in people. It's "normal" but I wish someone hadn't pushed that ideal on me because it's taken until my 40s to realise I didn't want any of that. I wanted to see the world. Only now it's like time is ticking and moving so fast, it has become a race to see everything. If I had my time again I wouldn't have any of that, I would travel

Could not agree more. I feel exactly the same and so does Dani. Its a message i try to drill into the kids and my friends as much as possible.

Agree with yas a about stuff and possessions, you don't talk about them . Me and our lass met each other and went on a camping trip in my camper I had just build . Risky date but we look back and laugh now , me brushing me teeth outside whilst she was having a bird bath in an old sink basin she brought. Keeper 😅
