It's our first campervan trip out since Nicola set us free on 26th April, and our wings have been unclipped and here we go !

"Over packing" our creature comforts: If you didn't take that "extra something" you'll probably miss it or need it. "FREEDOM" Isn't it funny: when we were kids we always told parents where we were going. We insisted our kids tells us where they are going. We also found that when we camped (as adults) we were calling our kids and telling them where we were going. lol "Not to worry" I guess. Those trees were surely something never seen before and of course, the flowers and the view of the water from up high was fantastic. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

Greetings from Poland. 26/04/21. A date that will be remembered for a long time to come. Freedom at last! I liked Yellowcraig very much. The beach was beautiful. North Berwick - never been there until you took me. Beautiful gardens with a lovely floral display. The views from the top of the hill were maginificent Your drone shots were brilliant, as was the commentary. ,Thanks for making this vlog. Stay safe plaease and I'll see you again soon.

Used to go to Yellowcraigs with the annual taxi drivers outing for special needs schools. My daughter was at a special needs school 21 years ago. The taxi drivers were so good with the children and so kind, giving up a day’s work. Great memories. 🥰 Loved your vlog. X

Great relaxed presentation style. Would love to see how you pack everything into your wee van. Also, how did you get on with the toilet block restictions?

Thanks, a wee snippet on how we pack at the start of our next video. Only so many allowed into the toilets at a time but we had no problems with it, I think larger vans were mostly using their own facilities

We loved the trees too, Midge does bite if you try to catch her, but she wouldn't pass through our net. As for the light tea...... 😳

Hi, I am a new subscriber, that was a lovely video, thank you. We have just exchanged our van and the new one has a Thule awning, which we haven’t had before. Just a quick question: do you leave yours out in the rain or wind it back in? Are the sides easy to put on? Just off now to catch up on another of your videos. 💕🐾

Hi Irene, glad you found us. We do leave it out in the rain it will not do it any harm, just make one end slightly higher or you will get a bulge and have to reach and push up to tip it out. In wind we peg it down but if extreme we would take it in. We have recently bought storm straps for it, not had these in a video yet and we forgot to take them on the last one, but we will be showing them.

Hiya. Loving your vlogs. How are you getting on with the portapotty and is the sleeping area warm during winter. Asking as can’t decide between camper van and motor home. Feel as if I need a loo. Too old now and want a wee bit of luxury lol

Too old? No way unless your photo is 30 years ago. Portapotty....we seldom use it as on campsites most of the time, and pee bottles for through the night and Trish uses a she wee (yuk I know but for through the night and she says you get used to it). Bed nice and cozy in winter and diesel heater in van is great. One day when we are old(er) we may get a moho.

Hi - another entertaining and very informative vlog. We really enjoy the commentary style - very relaxing to listen to. On the campsite were you using a sun canopy with side attachments? And if you were does that incur the awning fee that the club sites usually charge? I know a sun canopy is free (we have a fiamma on our vw campervan) and we are thinking of getting side panels as an easy way of providing shelter (we had a Vango awning but gave it away as it really was hard stressful work putting it up and taking it down) . Cheers

Hi, thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it and good question, to be honest I hadn't even thought about it so really don't know. Awnings can be a divorce in a bag, we sometimes just use the canope and sides, I expect they would class it as an awning, but what if you just put on 1 side, or 2 sides, or front panel as well. Who knows. The pitch we had included awning but I think they all did.
