I didn’t know that, so lovely. theres no doubt spending time with animals is a great medicine for all humans.

It’s true they all are ❤️ thanks I am glad!

It’s such an interesting life. Horses are wonderful animals.

it’s such a lovely peaceful place ❤️

@@missnancysdayoff it certainly is

the pointy project is a theme 😅 and a beautiful dream, hopefully more than that one day. sounds good thanks, haha you wouldn’t want KZfaq cutting back on your word allowance! 😊

Oh cool, yes I liked it! ❤️

Thank you ☺️ Yeah I always try to use chopsticks for Asian food! 🍲

That’s really nice ☺️ He must have been a special horse doing all that work for you. Where did he sleeps at night on the canal?!

Exactly I thought it could turn you onto camping!

🤗

Hey! Thanks I am glad you liked the start I tried to make it a bit different, not sure what the best intro is yet! Ha yes I was being posh and I think I like it 😅 I had to look the up because it sounded incredible, and it looks incredible to I am so jealous! I need to go, how long to walk up there did you swim in the lake? 🤗

@@missnancysdayoff I thought the intro was really good👌 I've been up Snowdon many times, never Cadair Idris. Oh what a place. From the car park and back it was 4hrs. The first 30-40 minutes is tough, steps and more steps. Very tough. Just take your time, waterfalls running by the side as you walk and a river. The lake is beautiful. Parking is £6 for all day, it's says until 12 and no camping. I was gutted. I left my tent and everything in the car. At the trig I was chatting with a couple and mentioned I hoping to have camped there. He said it's fine, he'd chatted with a guy in the pub and he explained you'll have no problems. I walked back to car and carried everything back to the lake. About 45 minutes walk to the lake. The water was so clear. I wanted to swim but by the time I'd set my tent up and everything it was getting late. My tent was about 8ft from the lake I could nearly touch it. I cooked right next to it. I sat in there looking out the door hours. Never felt like that before. It was quite an experience. I filmed it and watched the clouds and sun in between the mountains in front of me moving. It was something else. I think I filmed that part okay. I did a 7 minute video of it, I'll speed it up, think it will look okay. I'll put it Saturday or Sunday. I'm sure you'd love it there. There was about another 4 tents spread out on the lake. You'd feel very safe. Beautiful adventure for you and your sister😉 If I was doing it now, I'd put my tent up at the lake, relax there, cook and swim and the next morning walk the other part up to the trig. There's a cool shelter up the top with lots of benches. It was great. On Sunday I went Aber Falls. What a special place that is. You can reach the waterfall in 1 hour, £5 to park. There full circular walk shows so much more. Many reach Aber Falls and go back, 10 more minutes and you reach a 2nd waterfall. I walked up the mountain to the top looking for a plunge pool, it wasn't deep enough for me. Fine for you and other girls. You can get in there all nice and slow😁 Not the same for a bloke I want to jump in🤣 it just doesn't look the same when a man gets in slow. The walk after both waterfalls is easy but so beautiful. Mountains all around and the two huge waterfalls, then all of a sudden you are up high and looking out to the sea. I wasn't expecting that. It was stunning. You see an island out there not far away Anglesey, heard people saying It’s like a little paradise, puffins and so beautiful. Lots of van life people go, I've never been. Come to Wales one day 😁 You'll love it. I know it's so far away for you though. Really far. You could break it up doing Brecon Beacons area for a week and then on too North Wales. I've put up a little short of Aber Falls this morning. Only a 24 seconds, I'll do another short in a few days then the camping on Cadair Idris video. You are a lovely person, kind to animals and people. Keep sharing and caring👋

Thank you ☺️ I actually have been reading about it yes I need to go when back in Cornwall 🙏

Just remember that we are along for the journey with you.You're not alone.

It really is.

I appreciate that so much thank you.

Thank you ☺️ the donkeys had a great effect on me ❤️

Ah you are back in Ireland! Donkeys are the best, I’m glad you also eat from the pan washing up is such a burden 😂

@@missnancysdayoff Yes we arrived home on the 13th of June 🇮🇪 I will literally go to any lengths to save on washing up it’s a dreadful job 😩🙏

@IRELANDANDBEYOND33 it must be nice to be back home, travel is fun but I think it can be tiring so many decisions! Ha yes and just so much worse in the van 😅

I did feel so peaceful around those donkeys! I am actually not sure anyone has called me cuddly before 😅 thanks! ❤️

@missnancysdayoff you have now never to late to hear a new word lol must be the goergie in me 😆 ❤️just met a neighbour at my sister home and name is dave was telling me he used to Foster greyhounds but due to being old and losing his last one and said he can't go tho it anymore then weeks later his wife came home with and new one called Bella what a beautiful little girl she is had to get a pic of her but don't no how to send you her on here.

@jayjayadventures31 oh my gosh little Bella! ❤️ that’s so lovely. I bet shes beautiful, i don’t think you can send photos on here sadly.

@missnancysdayoff morning I have uploaded Bella on shorts on my channel. I also taking a look at the auction yesterday starts 5 pound is not bad at all but now do you bid just in the comments 🤣💙❤️

Thanks! 😃

Thank you ☺️ I missed you it would have been so nice if you had been with me 🤗

​@@missnancysdayoff ❤

I wonder how much bigger it is now it was much more extensive than I had imagined! Yes, they absolutely bring that sense of tranquility they are special souls ❤️ yeah still crying a lot but hopefully making progress, at lest there is smiles too! One day those greyhounds will be running free in my dog safe wilderness dream 🐕🫏 with some donkeys too maybe

Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it ☺️

Thanks! Well it was king of exciting wasn’t it 😂🫣

Thanks for watching I’m glad you liked it! Yeah it’s super sad, even more so that they have so many mistreated neglected animals from this country also, they do a lot of work educating people how to look after the donkeys better in parts of the world they are used for work which is also so valuable ❤️ Fingers crossed it will I am ready to power up 🫏

Sorry Tori, "Nancy" typo 🙈

😅 I don’t mind masquerading as Nancy she was a beautiful elegant girl!

😂 Must be shared DNA between you two Tori ! :) She will always be part of you, wherever the wind and van takes you ! ☀️

it’s amazing, do you still have it now then?

It must have been pretty incredible living on a small holding, as you say though when you get a bit older and realise more peoples intention or reasons that must colour things. I think it’s true though, aren’t we at our best caring for others? Meadows are beautiful i so agree, those donkeys have a very lovely setting they are the lucky ones. I wonder if Miss Nancy is there. I don’t really know what I believe to be honest, sometimes I think I feel her nose by my hand, sometimes I feel so alone she just be a million miles away. I think people would like to visit a greyhound sanctuary where they could actually seethe dogs properly running, and wouldn’t that be a nicer way to appreciate the incredible speed and agility than keeping them in cages and forcing them onto tracks. Hmm i slept middling, depends where i am in the van but also as it had been so long that didn’t help. It was lovely and quiet and i always feel super safe on a campsite so that helps in general, but I’m no stranger to insomnia. Thank you ☺️

@@missnancysdayoff It was definitely a delic place to live. I so wish we still had that place. Now with what I've learned on how to grow vegetables I could really seen myself with a polytunnel, some fruit trees.. I often used to think that the world's problems to be sorted out if one person made sure just to look after one other person then eventually everybody would be cared for. Of course the world is a lot different but it made sense to me when I was young. One thing I did which probably sounds a bit creepy when my dog passed away, I trimmed some of her fur and kept it wrapped up securely. One, it made me feel more attached to her even with the passage of time. Two, I read an article where Barbara Streisand got her elderly dog cloned and I thought maybe from the hair I could one day clone my Angie and get her back. There's a really good KZfaq video done by the BBC that shows in slow-mo how a greyhound achieves such high speed. It's fascinating, so elegant.. couldn't agree with you more it's the way to appreciate animals. Do you like to try aromatherapy/herbs for helping with sleep? Things like lavender, valerian, chamomile? Wishing you lots of restful nights..

@Melatiah it sounds like you were a very sweet child. So…creepy… well of course it isn’t. I just replied to you somewhere else about having a box of Nancys fur I keep sealed up and sometimes sniff. I didn’t mention that I scoured the entire house picking bits of fur and skiing off the carpet, her beds, blankets etc. the poor baby was to poorly it was all just coming off her. I can’t even bear to think about it. But I collected every single bit. And a claw and a whisker. It’s my most special thing and I don’t care if anyone else thought that was weird. We just love them 🥰

@@missnancysdayoff Thank you, hopefully I was. It's always heartening to hear how others experience intense emotions in very similar ways. I certainly do not feel as nearly as odd now that you've shared your own experience 🙏. So thank you for that. How you were and are, and what you did and do is deeply moving. 💞

Being with animals does calm the soul, as does finding a proper shower room 😅 ha well I am glad you think so!

I bet you did everyone seems to have been there! Best day out. I am sure you collected as much as you could , I hope you sent it on and didn’t spend it on fudge 😅

So true. I can only speak from personal experience of memories, and places triggering physical memories - it's sad, but part of the healing process. I'm not blessed with perception beyond the standard three dimensions - my other half has awareness of this, and she often mentions contact with one of our departed pets in the house.....

Thank you ☺️ ❤️ xx

I just love the way they come over if they feel like it and if you’re chill, and just let you give the gentle rubs it’s precious. One day i hope for the sanctuary maybe I should start making some sketches to bring it into fruition ☺️

So lovely 🥰 oh that’s so sweet, I need to sort out adopting one! Yes it’s actually worrying my mum told me that the other ones (because it said they had many 5 others in the UK?) were having to shut down because they don’t have enough money. It’s awful. The rich keep getting richer and people trying to do good and save animals or anything else don’t have enough money to do it. I think it was a sign I was so happy to see them, and they all have such different personalities but also that similar greyhound je ne sais quoi that I adore ❤️🐾😍

That would be the best super power! Hippos I’ve never thought about them much, they look sweet but they can be super aggressive can’t they? I think a donkeys probably best for pets 😅

@@missnancysdayoff yeah, they are very dangerous but super, super cute. I’ve got friends that have two living at the bottom of their garden (in Zim!). Donks have been a long term favourite of mine - very loyal. My rescue boy is the same. I’ll be popping down to ‘your’ donk sanctuary soon as I love just watching them interact.

Amazing, I might be visiting Norfolk soon in which case perfect 😍

@@missnancysdayoff It's called Redwings, near Aylsham.

@avonacolyte brilliant thank you 🙏

I only brushed him aside i swear to avoid accidentally squashing him! The Dartmoor ponies are lovely and the wild ones in Cornwall. Too much staring at video footage and indeed the computer is tough on the brain i hope you took a break! Well animals are pure of heart so that makes sense x

Fancy right! 😅🤭

Awesome I was thinking of adopting Percy! It really is such a lovely place to go I was super impressed

I am so glad it did ☺️ It’s not easy getting out sometimes, especially when you feel like that. Sometimes i struggle too especially when I have got out of the habit that first step seems like such a big one, but once taken it gets easier every time. You’re absolutely right we are so lucky so live in such a beautiful country. Thank you I will do my best to comply! 😅 you too xx

Thank you 🙏 Ah the Yeti well I am working on it as we speak so watch this space! Haha yeah if I adopt a donkey I am going to have to rethink my vehicle choice. Side car?

He was such a sweet donkey. They all were ☺️ yeah it really was a peaceful evening in the van I can’t complain apart from wishing my girl was there with me, hope you have a good weekend whatever you are doing! 🫏

Me too, I honestly cannot wait, I just need a sweet greyhound in my life. Thank you ☺️ ❤️ xxx

Thank you so much 😊 it really was I could have just moved in ❤️

Why thank you 🤭 haha I actually got that after reading it twice what a legend! Poor old donkeys 🫏

well I am glad it looked that way but I’m not so sure 😅

Thank you, I am so glad you liked it! ☺️

That’s a fab tribute😊, lovely story

Wow! That is incredible, I’ve never been on a canal boat but I’m so interested in them. Did you end up selling it?

🤣 that’s a great idea, I’ll have to get a bigger vehicle to fit One Big Mother 🫏

A beautiful place! Donkeys are just so serene. I agree with your statement - animals should be here with us, not for us. Glad you had such a lovely time there, and got to meet so many new friends, especially the houndies!

@theresabradley4716 so serene! Thank you, it really was special being with them all and getting to meet the greyhounds too 😍

Haha thank you I’ve worked on that over the years! That must have been amazing, at the same time as being absolutely awful. Very difficult to witness the cruelty. Donkeys certainly do deserve better I really think they are so special ☺️ xx

@@missnancysdayoff some people look the other way because it's painful. You go towards the problem and become part of the solution Tori. You listened to the sea, I reckon! Xx

@danshillabeer9523 I still wish I could be braver with confronting these things, I hope I can be in future. I did go to listen to the sea! Xx

@@missnancysdayoff You throw yourself into icy water and caring for animals in deep trouble. And you don't think you're brave? 🤩🤗xx

@@missnancysdayoff You throw yourself into icy water and caring for animals in deep trouble. And you don't think you're brave? 🤩🤗xx

I’m glad it’s not just me that thinks so! So luxury ❤️ It really was a tonic your are right, I am glad you enjoyed it.

I am glad! Yes it was serendipitous and made my day. They even have webcams so you can watch your donkey! That’s so nice, it’s the kind of thing we always remember I think.

Thank you, if all goes to plan we should have some coming up ☺️ my natural home with the donkeys ❤️❤️

They really are, and so soft! ☺️

😅 I honestly didn’t notice til I was editing the video, I thought it meant random food from your bag 🤭 still I am trying to be more of a daredevil !

@@missnancysdayoff Please take good care. You brighten my day . Stay lovely

I was so happy to catch the eeorring it’s so funny 🤣 who knows one day and it’s a heart warming idea. Not weird, just enjoying some deep relaxing breaths of donkey stable 😍

Thank you ☺️ haha no worries I’m always doing that 😅

Thank you ☺️ hmm yes a £900 train fair sounds a lot, is that right £900! Where from?! Not yet but I was thinking about adopting Percy x

@@missnancysdayoff I’m from a town called Corrour in Scotland. Might have been a bit exaggeration £900 it’s £533 moving to Manchester next week with my daughter. so may be able to do it next year, maybe. X

@stevenmahon8536 that’s insane, fly that is way cheaper! X

Thank you it really was, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🤗

Thanks, it wasn’t when I was editing this I thought how awkward I was in the evening filming, I’m glad I did it though and it was a good place. I really appreciate that thank you! I will certainly try, plans are afoot just trying to sort my stuff out a bit ❤️

@missnancysdayoff Don't worry, you always come across as natural and genuine on film.. it didn't appear awkward to me. Just you being you. Which is why folks like your videos so much I think.. Anyway, take care drive safely.. x

@stu7575 thank you ☺️ x

That would be so sweet I’d love to dedicate something to her. Thank you ☺️ x

@@missnancysdayoff 💜💚

I am so glad! That is so lovely, it’s really nice to be able to take the dogs too. Should you win the lottery and want to set up the greyhound sanctuary just let me know! 😅🤗❤️

👍😀​@@missnancysdayoff

Hey! Honestly it was so good 😅 yeah getting there hopefully, and should be more vids coming up xx

Thank you ☺️ they are such special animals

Nice they can be regular donkey visitors! Awesome I bet it was glad it was a good trip, you must have got some amazing footage 😊

@@missnancysdayoff it was a great trip lots of technical issues with kit, oh well.. just very tired after crossing the planet. glad you are keeping going :) it says a lot about a person x i've got some dilemas (like lamas but more worrying). hope you're having a good eve. x

@griptopia oh frustrating, yeah long distance travel is exhausting hope you are catching up on some sleep. And that your Peak District plan is working out! X

@@missnancysdayoff I've had some really weird things happening and my brain hurts. planning derby, workshop and storage and living is sorted, my mate james might come with, he's a Jeweller/maker. Need to convert the van more... it will be home when i move, but had something from the past come up and feel a bit blown away/ not sure what to do next. i'd love to talk about stuff with you could do with a fellow creatives advice. it's late i better get some rest. life just got good, but i'm really confused about what to do next.

@griptopia urgh well i know how you feel with the brain hurting anyway! All sounds confusing. Also hopefully good?! I don’t have a clue what to do next either but probably for different reasons 😅 happy to talk about it, i could use some buddies in the creative area.

Thank you ☺️ xx

🥰

That sounds pretty peaceful! Well I mean I’m not sure about the stud farm aspect 😅 Your so lucky you got to grow up with some donkeys that’s awesome.

@@missnancysdayoffoddly enough I dislike horse racing.

Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it, yes it’s true it was impossible not to feel ok around those beautiful calm donkeys. Fingers crossed one day for fields full of running greyhounds! Xxx ☺️

@@missnancysdayoff Hi you could call it The Nancy Drew Trust For Retired Greyhounds Xxx

@tophatcat5921 😍

So funny and precious! The way the fur was dancing in the breeze.

Thank you! It was a really good place I was so impressed, I’d better seek out some other donkey sanctuaries now! ☺️

Thank you! They greyhounds were the icing on such a lovely time with those donkeys, you should definitely go it was brilliant. And load up on amazing socks! God that campsite I stayed maybe 5 days and those pants were in the shower the whole time, I finally felt so ill about it I had to leave 😅 xx ☺️

@@missnancysdayoff those greyhounds were definitely there for you ❤️ and I’ll be paying the donkeys a visit very soon for sure so I can give them a cuddle and start my sock collection! I wonder if those pants are still there? Perhaps they were guard pants employed to make sure people didn’t stay in the shower for too long 😂 xx 🤗❤️

@Its_Adam_by_the_way urgh I think the farmer wasn’t quite as into cleanliness as he might have been, no toilet paper or soap either!!! Ever! 😂 x

@@missnancysdayoff I think we have just worked out who’s they were, the pantless farmer! 🤮 remind me not to stay on that site! 😂 Xx

Donkeys by a million miles ❤️

They are just the best! 😍

It was really special and lovely place ☺️ I’m sorry I probably mumble, you are right though those greyhounds did come when I need to see them and they were so sweet, I was just saying that I talked to their owners and stroked them and kissed their soft heads and it made me happy ❤️

@@missnancysdayoff purtroppo il mio inglese scolastico risale a 50 anni fa e la scarsa pratica col parlato mi rende difficile comprenderlo. Comunque accade che facciamo gli incontri giusti, quando ne abbiamo bisogno😘

I’m convinced you English is better than my Italian! I would love to learn Italian though 😍

So sweet ☺️

Thank you 🙏 funny I was recently reading a book that said there was research that showed that out of a group of troubled teens those that had access to horses to care for essentially were able to do better. I am not surprised. Horse yoga 😅 Well I hadn’t actually thought about it with the donkey but I think it must be, his back was going right up and down with the two notes, he’d be good on a didgeridoo. Turned more normal 🤭 I suppose if inhaling to whistle was the worst of his flaws he wasn’t doing too bad!

I try 😅

Thanks, oh wow cool so do you travel around or stay in the same place? I haven’t actually been to the Tamar valley at all I don’t think, but if there is a donkey park there I clearly should! 🤗

@@missnancysdayoff travelled around, Spent 3 months in northern Spain a couple of years ago. Just in the process of moving into a LWB Iveco daily from my MWB iveco daily. It's taking some time but I'll get there.😁😁😁

@davesobey3773 going bigger! Well i guess you’ve had enough practice driving it 😅 i think I need to go smaller get rid of more stuff 😀

I didn’t know, I will go whenever I head back to the West Country, and vegan food too doesn’t get better than that! I can only hope there is a paradigm shift in the way humans as a species think about animals ❤️

I think it's happening but not fast enough, and now there seems to be this new trend with "carnist" diets, ugh I can't bear it 😢!

@obiblooze5902 urgh I know it’s so ridiculous honestly I want to give the people a good hiding 😂 no, no, no!

Ha, I’d say what is the practical use for most human beings! The hairy ones were amazing right, I am glad you liked a bit of summery scenery 😀

@@missnancysdayoff I'd say it was about time that hairy yeti was sheared and yes, if it wasn;t for my writing abilities I'd be among the category of 'The need to be seen doing something in between being born and dyng.' Cryingly yours.

@@missnancysdayoff Couldn't they find you a job there trimming the donkeys hair and where you could live in your van with lots of time to spare to stare into the clean air and doing your jewellery work inbetween going off on trips? Hot lips. (It rhymes with 'trips.')

They are one of my favourite animals 😍 I’d better google for this poem! Thank you that’s very kind, it’s pretty hard to have faith in humans given everything that’s happening in the world, but I will say the kindness of you guys on this channel has actually restored my faith in humans! ☺️

Sound awesome, I’m really considering the boat life! And in Manchester too that’s a whole new world

😅 I usually leave them on the side for a couple of months I only just opened that 😅

Just a quick push should do it 😅
