Yes, just what I thought! Was nice to upload a positive video, still want Teresa's World to make people smile 😁x

Thanks James... just know I must stay mentally strong (though I know I will have bad days). so a bit of rare retail therapy was amazingly therapeutic ! 🙏🏼😁 x

Thank you Jorose 🙏🏼. I know I'm going to have good days and bad, I have to take a day at a time... focussing on things that make me and others smile - like buying new boots ! Retail therapy is a rare phenomenon Teresa's World! 😂 x

@ 🙌🫶😘

Thank you 🙏🏼 I can only do my best... a day at a time 🤗 x

Hi Hugh, thanks so much for taking time to tell me your story, and glad you're continuing to be fit and well. Thank goodness for the NHS and amazing surgeons! Yes, will try to keep positive. I know I will have down days, that will be natural... but I'll do my best to 'keep my pecker up' 😅🚐 x

Hi Adam, thanks for your kind message. Yes, doing my best... 🙏🏼Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐x

Hi Stuart, thanks for your kind wishes., I'll try to keep positive and strong and upload more vids soon. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Tony, thank you both for your kind wishes. I do hope the other person you know with Multiple Myeloma is doing well. I'm trying to keep positive and aiming to upload more vids soon. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Stevie, did you check out the video that followed this one, as I ended up getting a larger solar panel. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment... glad it was useful. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

@@teresasworld3374 Okay thanks for that, very heartwarming little channel you've got here. Quite unique really. You appeared on my suggestions probably because I watched a few reviews for the solar chargers? but I'm hoping to busk around Europe in an old Camper at 'some point' so I'll stay tuned. Best wishes Stevie G.

Hi Margo.. (is this Margaret by the way??) Thanks for your kind comment and I do hope you're right... more adventures still to come! I'm just fearful I have a tough road ahead right now, but I must keep positive and will try and focus on doing more vids soon. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐x

@ Yes, it’s Margaret. I enjoy following your adventures in your van. Wish I had the confidence to drive one. Keep us informed of your progress! I will be thinking of you. Xxx

Hi Robert, what an inspiring message this was for me to read, thank you ever so much for taking the time to write it. I will try to do my best to keep positive and focussed on getting my van out in April and getting up that mountain! Wondering why I didn't aim for a sun lounger on a beach, somewhere beautiful rather than a mountain to climb... but that's me... wonderfully bonkers I've been told!! Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

@teresasworld3374 Hi Teresa, the reason you didn't go for the sun lounger is because that's to easy, you've set yourself a target which is just that little bit harder than the sun lounger 🤔 but you know what you will beat both your illness and the mountain, I don't think you'd attempt to climb if you really thought you couldn't do it. If I was 100% healthy then I'd put my walking boots on and make sure I was there to spur and push you on.

Hi Wayne, thanks for your kind words. Yes, I'll do my best to try to keep positive and will try to post more vids soon. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Lovely boots . Take care

Hi Geoff, thanks for your kind message and the virtual hug from afar. I'll do my best to keep positive and will try to post more vids soon. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐x

@@teresasworld3374 🥰

Thanks Peter... I'll do my best. Thanks for taking time to message me. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Jan, thanks for taking the time to write such a lovely message about your T5 pop top and travels... Northumberland is beautiful, I hope to make it there again. My thoughts go to your mum on her cancer journey and hope you are coping too, as I know how emotional it is when our parents need support. Thanks for watching TWorld.... I hope to continue posting vids, trying to keep positive and focussing on Scafell Pike and the Lake District!🤞🏼 Wondering why I didn't aim for a sun lounger on a nice beach!!! Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Tom thanks for watching and glad you found it informative. Happy travels. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

@teresasworld3374 my pleasure. Maybe in our travels out paths may cross 🤔.

Hi Mikey, what a beautiful, simple message. Made me smile, so thank you for that🥰. I hope to stay strong and positive, and aim to upload more vids soon. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Sue, thanks for your lovely message and kind thoughts. So glad you found my little channel helpful and even inspiring...Wow, what a compliment, thank you. I'll try to stay positive and aim to upload more vids soon. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Alex, thanks for your kind message and for thinking of me. Yes, weird how it's often the fittest people too... I've never smoked etc, Look at Chris Hoy, what an inspiration that man is. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Simon, thanks for your kind message. I'll do my best. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Paul, thanks for your kind thoughts and virtual hugs. Truly appreciated. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐x

Hi Janice, thanks for your kind thoughts and virtual hugs. Truly appreciated. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐xx

Hi Jorose, thanks for your kind thoughts, support and good wishes. Yes, I'm hoping to remain positive and make it up Scafell Pike, though wondering if I should have just aimed for a sun lounger on a sunny beach somewhere!!! Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐x

Hi Alan, I know you've been following my little channel since I started I reckon... a long time!! I'll try to keep positive and upload more vids soon. Thanks for the love 🤗🚐

Your very welcome. I will always be here. X❤

Hi Gez, thanks for your kind thoughts and wishes. I felt the time was right, as it felt false recording a 'smiley' Teresa's World, when there's so much going on in the back ground. I guess it's 'life's stuff'. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Simon, thanks for your kind thoughts and wishes. I'm glad your mum's journey meant she kept active and kept her hair, I'm hoping she's still with us! Yes... I need to stay focussed and will try to keep uploading videos... hopefully making people smile! 🥰 Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi DeLouseMaSporran, thanks for your kind thoughts and wishes. Many friends have said they love your line "if you're even half as tough as you are delightfully bonkers...." and told me to never change! Thank you so much. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Jonathan, thanks for your kind thoughts and wishes. Truly appreciated. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Glad you enjoyed it 🤗🚐

Well.. I do think you could be right!! But herons are supposed to be territorial and should avoid a pond with a heron already sat there... SHOULD!!! but in this case DIDN'T!! THE BUGGAR!! Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi Jonathan, great you've found my little channel and thank you for taking time to comment... I wish my channel was as infectious as my smile and personality... may be it wouldn't have taken 9 years to get 2000 subs!!! No! Seriously... thanks for your kind comments and do look at the playlist, where there are lots of other uploads that I hope you find equally as interesting or amusing... best wishes Teresa 🤗🚐

@ you are very welcome and I will look at previous videos. I’m leaving the police soon after 20 years and can’t wait to buy a camper van and go travelling. 2000 subs is amazing regardless of how long it took you. Just subscribed. Il keep watching and maybe one day I may see you on my travels.

Hi Hugh... many thanks for taking the time to comment, I found it an interesting read. That's one thing I need to do... fit a decent radio with good speakers in the door - the present speakers aren't good, simply old! I presently use my JBL speaker connected to my iphone at mo and put the speaker where I want it... so I've worked around it - as you do! Yes.. I'm thinking about Ireland too! May be next year.. depends on various things. I'm looking at fitting power steering to my van, as it doesn't have it.. and it would be quite a nice addition... that's my next big job as well as getting the fridge fixed! Thanks for watching TWorld and taking time to comment.. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Hi there, thanks for being so complimentary... glad you enjoy my little vids... Best wishes, Teresa 🤗🚐

Glad you're still enjoying your 1992 Trident - happy travels Geoff 🤗🚐

@@teresasworld3374 1992 Trident was on hire [2004]...actually bought a newer 1999 Trident in 2007 which i still have today🙂

Hey Catherine... I'm sorry I didn't mention your names! I really enjoyed meeting you both on the NC500 - seeing you guys made me feel 'not so solo'... which was so nice! Yes, hope we can meet up again next year... may be in the Lake District or Northumberland? Im thinking of trips to both areas. There's a route called the Northumberland 250... but not sure I'm up for another 'road trip' as such! Wow.. your van is coming along... I'm not sure what a C Shape bed is, or do you mean U shape... Im sure Rich has it all sussed out in his head... but you know what men are like... he needs to chat to you about it and listen to your suggestions as us women can come out with 'game changing' ideas - coz we often think 'outside the box!" and are often more practically minded. All I can say is that it's nice to be able to stand upright in your van, when you get out of bed and a pop top offers extra space to put things when parked up. Lovely to hear from you... keep in touch. Big hugs to you both and thanks for watching this vid!! 🤗🚐xxx

Yes I mean a U shape bed. ❤

John... this cracked me up!!! Yes!! Well spotted! I've had it cut and I've coloured it myself... I've gone darker and straighter.. this is my Winter look!! I'm wondering whether to go pink highlights, like Professor Alice Roberts !?😂🚐

The hair is a win !

Hi Robert... thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, I agree, I was going to say that by the time you've bought a van to 'do up' as a project... if you add up the cost of the materials and the time etc... you may as well buy an older VW! But then, I wasn't sure if that was correct fact to state! 😂 Yes... after getting the wheel arch done and new windscreen and rust in the gully sorted.. I'd want £15k... and of course, she's famous now!! 😂🚐

@teresasworld3374 🤣 an VW internet star 🌟

Hi Heather, thanks for watching the video... and taking time to comment. I think you're doing really well to use your van as your 'day' van, as without power steering (petrol version) it's not always easy to manoeuvre and park etc. You'll always come across various situations that push us outside our comfort zones, but the satnav is a God send. Yes... it's taken me all these years to get to the point where I think I would go anywhere in the UK... and I'm considering Ireland next year.. but also I'd like to go back to Northumberland and explore the Lake District, which I'm yet to do. I think the more you use it the more you get to know it. Even now, I always feel anxious and excited when getting it out of storage at the beginning of the season... but once I'm sat behind the wheel... this NEW person blossoms and I get 'back in to it'. It simply brings out the best in me.. not sure how!! So, Heather! Happy travels... we must meet up, I've forgotten where you live... but let's do it next year! Teresa 🚐

Hi Jorose, thanks for watching this video and writing to me about your camper. Is your van petrol or diesel? Mine is petrol, and I put E5 in it... bit more expensive, but she runs loads better on that. I'm always anxious about whether she'll start, not sure why as she always does! Even after being in storage for 6 months and I re-connect the battery, unbelievably, she always starts. Amazing really. With regard to your van, you may have had to jump start, because you've got the battery connected... and I'm wondering if you have something that is drawing power from the battery whilst she's stood. The clock will be, only minimal... but also you may have installed a new radio or a cradle for a mobile phone, which will be taking power, even if you think it's off. That happened to mine, when I had a new radio fitted and new phone cradle. I couldn't believe it, but both items, though 'off' still have something going on in the background, specially if it's a relatively item. Otherwise, she may just be spluttering because she's damp, spark plugs may need re-newing, when was she last serviced etc? Give her a good run out, charges the battery and warms her up. With regard to reliability going long distances...if yours is a T4, they are work horses... they keep rolling. Mines now hit 103k miles, and just done the NC500... I'll go anywhere in mine... Im in GreenFlag if she breaks down. It's about having a plan IF she breaks down, then you don't need to worry about it. Just check all the bits that could go wrong.. cambelt, clutch, gearbox etc.. Any advisories on the MOT... always get done. Older vehicles are totally mechanical... by that, I mean... things can wear out, so just try to keep an eye on anything that you think could now be needing replacing... Hope this helps... happy travels next year and so sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. I lost my Millie in 2019, they are so part of your life and life style... so my thoughts are with you. Best wishes, Teresa 🤗

@ thanks so much , it’s a diesel and T4. Nothing new installed, I think it’s maybe because we’ve let it sit too long between starts and run outs. No advisories on last mot in July but I love him(Stan the van, after my dad) that I want to look after him. He’s stunning for his age, it’s just I get worried about reliability with an older vehicle but wouldn’t swap him for a newer model like yourself, as he has a lovely warmth about him that I can’t wait to cosy up in on a evening. Take care, Jo xx

I should mention those glass trays really do help, though

Hi englishroses, Many thanks for watching the video and many thanks for your advice... yes... you're right, water can creep under those glass surface protectors... it actually has and I fear I need to do my worktops again.. but it's finding the time and enthusiasm! In fact I have a total of 3 work tops to do, when I'm back in the zone! 😅🤗
