Adventure is not always planned, its not always a vacation to a far off place, some times your adventure starts with a ticket to somewhere new and exciting, and sometimes adventure starts in your own home town. That's how our life plays out, we are not young college kids using a student loan traveling the world, with out the first bill or responsibility, telling you " That some times you just need to let it all go!". NOPE NOPE we are a husband (Rich) and wife (TIFF) with two children, jobs, and trying to grow a family , just like a lot of you, our fun is very little planned and a whole bunch of stumbling into, our life is not something we can just let go, but we love travel we love finding new and amazing things to share with you, that you might find yourself tripping into one day, so in between life and love and family we invite you to join us , while we are tripping through adventures!

Pot noodles are like a vacuum cleaner bag full of toenail clippings with some hot water. Any time I eat super noodles I’m usually depressed and hungover. It’s a sign I’ve lost control of my life.
I love florida been there more times I can remember. You forgot the fire ants and when I'm in the gulf I make sure I'm not wearing a watch or anything that reflects light. Ive been chased by giant hornets and nearly had a heart attack when I took the trash out and was surrounded by giant birds lol. The biggest danger in England is probably a bull. We have black adders but theyre very slow and no one really has a bad time with them. There are 2 amazing castles that offer 2 different experiences you can stay at near me in Northumberland. Langley castle and Lumley Castle, one big and grand one small and tucked away, both are beautiful places to recharge your soul and soak up the history.
Your acquired knowledge is brilliant. You're doing just fine. Love from Devon.
I live 30 mins from Durham, and an hours drive from most of these places and yes they are as beautiful as they look. On the other hand …. We love visiting Florida 😂👍😎
Yorkshire is the largest county in England and York is one of the cities in Yorkshire, I am from Scarborough which is on the Yorkshire coast and has a castle on a headland separating 2 bays.
The long boat is called a barge.
I am glad that you enjoyed your time in Camden. That is a better way to learn about London than doing the tourist traps, cheaper too. In fact immersing yourselves in one place is generally better than rushing around. London started as a series of villages, which grew together, and if you stay local you can get something of that village vibe. Keep Reacting!
Just to say, you will see a Shambles in many towns and cities, the length and breadth of the UK. A Shambles was a road in the town where all the butchers and slaughterhouses would be, this is where people would purchase their meat. Latterly, shambles was used as a non-profane curse, so people would say, for example, “the whole affair was a complete shambles” or “oh mate it was totally shambolic” meaning It was a bloody mess or cock up. My hometown of Kendal has a shambles and it is exactly the same as York face-to-face small outlets. In the ally on the floor there are curved gutters made out of stone to drain the blood and wash out of the street. It is actually on a slight hill so the mess could wash down the street and go out towards the river. This is one thing about the UK. It is so old that almost everything has greater depth and meaning to it.
Good job guys! Loved the video 😀 😊
WWII is something that impacted everyone in the UK. I know exactly what my grandparents did during the war and I'd guess that is the same for the vast majority of people. My grandma was a nurse who went to London and she remained close friends with another nurse friend until their deaths. The stories they would tell. My granddad was younger and was evacuated, and he used to joke that he had his pick of the girls because there were so few men left after the war. My other Grandpa was in the RAF. He rarely talked about his experience because he suffered from PTSD but we discovered through war records some of his missions and it turns out he was highly decorated. My gran was a Home Economics teacher and they turned lessons into making things for the war effort. It's part of our every day history in the same way that COVID and lockdown impacted everyone and changed the way we behave as a society.
WOW! Pot Noodles are NOT for children! I remember having to live on them for a week once when my money was low. A student staple 😄 Marmite is from the gods! I have the salt reduced version, I love it on toast, but I mix it into the butter when spreading so not too strong and great in stews, casseroles and cottage pie etc,. I agree with you too, love oranin my chocolates! ♥️
Didnt expect the food to be good, coming from a country where the food is literal poison banned in other countries
So for context imagine a thousand 9/11’s happening on a daily basis where instead of the usual weather of rain it was literally raining bombs for about three years straight, that’s basically what Europe was experiencing at the time, another noticeable action was the absolute leveling of Dresden where the city you could’ve seen the city literally burning from space as incendiary munitions using thermite or the equivalent to napalm was dropped all over Europe, the only European city to escape relatively undamaged was Paris but even then that wasn’t by a large margin, where even today French farmers are still being killed by unexploded munitions and even here in the UK a child was building a sand castle only to end up accidentally digging up a WW2 british landmine 😂
When people say out food is $hit their talking about traditional food that was made 200 years ago lol
My mother was a young nurse during the war. During one air raid many people were crushed to death or suffocated when a crowd was rushing down the stairs to get to the safety of the subway. After that she refused to go down there. She told me once that after a shift she finished work in the middle of a bombing raid. Rather than go down into a shelter she decided to cycle home, but she found bombs landing either side of the road she was cycling along and thought she was going to die. She put her head down and cycled like mad homeward and lived to tell me about it. Whenever we visited London, years later in the 70s and 80s, she really did not like going on the tube. Your video has reminded me what a brave woman she was.
I spent 3 years living in Harrogate and it was just the absolute best. Spofforth castle, bolton abbey, pately bridge, ripon, brimham rocks, knaresborough, wetherby. Drive out a bit further and theres grassington, hawes, hadraw force it really is an endless list of wonderful places that im lucky to have seen. Even a 10 minute walk from your house can be truly breathtaking, words can never do justice to that feeling. My suggestion would be Harrogate because from there you have so much access and so many options all with a short distance as well as being in an area that is stunning. I look forward to hearing more about your journey and in particularly the wales episode, a place i'm equally both as fond of and familiar with
Yorkshire is another county!
It's lovely to hear you being so positive about our country, thank you!
We don’t need air conditioning - the temperature only gets above 25 degrees (celcius) very rarely
The only dangerous creature in the UK is the adder a small venomous snake very rarely fatal
Most children were evacuated out of London to the countryside to protect the kids. People in the countryside took as many kids as they could into there home and treated them like their own. ‘Most old school have hidden bomb shelters
Im from the north east of England, Newcastle to be precise and there is a very divisive art piece close by namely the angel of the north, its a harsh and unpolished piece which i personally love as i think it serves as an excellent metaphor for the hard working industrious nature of the region i love, what do you think of it ? be honest i wont be offended my everyday life is filled with people who hate it haha.
Yorkshire is the collective term for all of the 4 counties in the Yorkshire region, it’s not a county in its own right. You have North. South, East and West Yorkshire. I live in the latter. Not too far from Hebden Bridge 👍
You missed the whispering gallery. How was the dome built? How does it stay up?
When you walk towns a villages,ALWAYS LOOK UP. In the shambles what was it like to live near to your neighbours ?
It’s important to remember that for the whole of the Blitz, the UK stood alone against Hitler. Russia likes to dine out on the efforts of the Soviet army in defeating the Nazi war machine, conveniently forgetting that until 1941 they were still allied with Germany, and once they finally started fighting Nazis, they only succeeded thanks to American military aid (the Soviets had zero trucks, and no food - all of that came from America). As the blitz was under way, the British were slowly turning the tide of the war, I mean Europe was effectively lost at this point, but things were slowly changing in North Africa.
If you get the chance, do the coast to coast walk from St Bees to Robin Hood's Bay. Check it out.
I know.
Not just the large cities , also a load of smaller tourist ones with historic buildings were deliberately targeted , known as the Baedeker raids ( after the German tourist guides of the same name ) places have still uncovered unexploded ww2 bombs now .
There's a lovely story I heard about a young RAF pilot who was on leave in London during the Blitz. He was enjoying a quiet drink with friends when a bomb dropped nearby and blew the doors and windows out. When everyone picked themselves up again, his glass shattered as soon as he touched it. The barman, very calmly and quietly, just said "I do apologise about the glass, Sir. Have one on the house." That's us British. No smart mouthed foreign dictator is going to get any kind of grip on us. Then or now.
Honestly I went to the states in 2016 and couldn’t wait to go eating because I was constantly being told British food sucked compared to the US. I was massively disappointed lol. There wasn’t really any difference in the quality of food. You just get more of it in the states 🤣
Yea only thing better in the states is like niche things to America like barbecue, southern food, etc. the rest you can have a good meal or straight crap. McDonald’s is better cuz the chemicals 😂🤣😂
The guy who owns the Yorkshire burrito comes from my area down the south east of the uk. I met him when me and me fiancé visited Camden! She loved the burrito, shame we’ve recently moved over 600 miles away to a little island off of the mainland.. so we’re nowhere near London anymore to get another one!
Camden lol full of foreigners, all the businesses are owned and staffed by foreigners, and all the food there is foreign
Stonehenge has always been free to access until very recently and has guards now, if you go on one of the equinoxs (when the season changes) you are allowed to touch them and that as its a pagan holiday kinda. Its very weird and if you're christians might find it proper odd but totally worth going still even if it is a bit of a tourist thing with loads of smelly hippies. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lqWJx8-AfNLTdqw.html
Thanks for appreciating our lovely country 🇬🇧
Catching up on your old vids, you're a nice couple. Doesn't feel like you're trying to make friends and are honest when aren't 100 on something. Lots of vloggers eat absolute trash and then complain, like bro go look around. You need to try a norhern curry sometime they seem to have that nailed imo.
Yea we try to be totally honest with food. We love curry we will give that a shot.
Just a quick fact, the underground stations used for shelter in ww2 tended to be the deeper level stations that obviously provided a better level of protection ✌️
Do not visit Durham
its a narrowboat.... longboats are vikings
The biggest insult to your enemy is to laugh in their face. Humour is the british secret weapon
I knew someone whos grandad could read the news at night from his bedroom window in a small village near Birmingham with the fires of the london blitz. Also Newcastle where i am from was too hit by the Germans. The church i used to go to was half built with different dricks as it was hit. Newcastle also has an underground train system. Edinburgh wasn't hit. As Hitler wanted to move there or so i heard. He wanted to make it the global capital. Flattered but on behalf of all here live in Edinburgh, myself included. We reject 😂
Shame you jumped thro the Scarborough bit.
I live 20 minutes away from Hebdon bridge. It's really nice. There's lots of beautiful places around here and around the UK. My favourite is Cornwalls saint Ives and Saint Michaels mount.
Uk , is beatiful & i'm talking about all ,england,scotland,wales ,northern irland .im so lucky to have all this on my door step , you can jump in the car & drive for a few hours. The history is insane .born here & love it .
American bacon for sure or turkey bacon (just had that recently and was delicious)
My Mother lived on the London Thames docks during the 2nd World War. She told me about everything being ablaze. Mum was not the type to be scared and would go to bed and ignore pleas from the rest of the family to go to the shelter. Amazingly she survived. I think it hardened her and everyone around her. She would tell me about the doodlebugs (like air ships, but bombs) that would fly over, and when the engine noise stopped - you ran for cover. My auntie suffered injuries after a bomb blast at Woolwich Arsenal. My father missed the call up - 'excused boots' - which meant flat feet. You can't march with flat feet! It was a very, very different world then. I think my parents were not the people they would have been if there had been no war. My brothers and I never had a word of emotional comfort from either of them. They didn't know how. Cigarettes and a job were all important, especially the job - WORK!
A remnant of what was London before mass immigration.
This is a myth along with bad teeth and hateful r'c'sm . Glad you had a lovely time. Camden Market is yummy ❤
Some parts of north devon are still affordable and has beautiful country side and beaches
My mu and her siblings were evacuated to the country from their home in the London docks area, my Nan worried so much about them she brought them home saying “if we’re going to go we’ll go together.
