We are a semi retired couple with a Carthago motorhome, which we have had since new, spending as much time as we can on the road and sharing our travels. We are interested in travel, photography , drones and motorbikes all of which add to our enjoyment as we go.
We live in Guernsey and travel over to the UK regularly for travels in our van, weeks , weekends, and extended breaks away for two to three months at a time. We travel both in the UK and Europe. We love meeting new friends, pub stopovers and all manner of sites. It always gives us a thrill when we're on site and people come up and chat to us, it's always nice meeting different people, whether we just put the world to rights or learn new tips and places to go.
Motorhoming is our hobby which combines with our other interests ; photography, drone flying, motorbikes, touring, eating and drinking and Sha's favourite pastime - shopping especially for shoes, where do we put them all?

OMG Stuff!
Oh My God! So much stuff to move or skip. Here is our journey of getting rid and down and dirty in the cellar and garage. Back to motorhoming soon but first things first. Hope you enjoy and sure that it will strike a chord with some.

Are we homeless?
มุมมอง 624หลายเดือนก่อน
Are we homeless? We have just sold our house after 25 years! It was a close call but we are now in the UK for Christmas. Follow our trip on the ferry, dropping off the Carthago at Southdowns for snag work and a lovely stop in a hotel in the New Forest at Forest Park Inn in Brockenhurst. A bit of retail therapy at Gun Wharf Quays and arriving in Winchester all lit up for Christmas.

This could have been the end of Van Life - Operation Winchester in our Carthago
มุมมอง 1.2K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Using our van, Carthago Chic S Plus, as a base while Alan has his operation in Winchester. It worked so well. We left Guernsey on the overnight ferry, picked up our van from storage, settled in on site, went out and about a bit, then a week of recovery for Alan, who is still impatient to get moving forward. We go to Winchester Caravans and a trip to Bournemouth. More trips out on our next video...

Wow what a beautiful house and Alan's beautifully made furniture you are one lucky lady to have such a clever man . Good luck in your new home
He comes in handy!
Wow what a nice house and fantastic views, belated happy new year to you both .
Thanks. We are half way between the 2 now struggling to know if things are here or there!
😱Like it !!! We love it 😍😍😍🍾🍾🍾
So do we, but the time has come after 25 years to make a move and soon we will be back on the road.
@motoringmasons We also love watching you both 🥰
Wow! Thank you both for showing us around your beautiful home, I hope you’ll both be very happy in your next home❤
Thanks for your comments, we were worried we would bore everyone. I am sure we will love the next place it will give us a breather while we decide what next.
Wasn’t boring at all. Loved having a look around ❤
Wow, what a beautiful house. I would never want to leave there. Good luck with your move 😊
Yes, hard decision, but we are not getting any younger!
What a beautiful home in a wonderful location! ⛱🐚 🐠🏠 …….and everyone needs an Alan! 🪚🔨🪛 Good luck & cheers! 🥂
I agree! Thanks for the best wishes, we need all the luck we can get, the removals start on Friday.
Thank you so much for showing your stunning home, Alan is so talented and his work is beautiful…..moving is such a nightmare, and it’s such a big house so I can imagine the work involved even using movers. I love all of your videos and look forward to whatever comes next x Happy and Healthy New Year to you both x
Thank you for your lovely comments it's very much appreciated. We appear to be breaking the back of it now, the weekend will be spent in the garage and cellar and we have a skip outside! Hope to be going back to vanning videos in the not too distant future, we will need a rest!
This is brilliant you are living our dream , hope to do the same within 5 years, please visit NI and you can park the van in our yard as long as you need, electric gates so it’s secure , 20 mins from coast,
Thanks so much, both for the comment and the offer! We were definitely thinking of Ireland, both North and South, for later in the year, so you never know we might just take you up on this. Happy New Year.
@ your more than welcome, we are for USA 5th July for just over 2 weeks so if you need somewhere during that time, yous can have the place to yourselves , other than that, we will be around
Not for one minute can I see you living full time in a MH. No walk in closets.
LOL. You never know!!
Oh how beautiful, I’m sure you will be very happy there…what a wonderful new home. I love your channel and A Happy and Healthy New Year to you both x
Thanks, we will do our best, we would be pretty miserable not to make the most of it.
Looks wonderful! Exciting times ahead.
Yes very exciting we genuinely do not know what comes next!
Hi Sha and Alan.You might remember we were were parked up next to you in the Rapido at Hermanfest.What a great place to live in while you plan your next move.We will look out for you on our travels this year and thanks to Alan's encouragement I did go out and get myself a motorbike again 😁
Great to hear from you and of course we remember you! What bike did you get?
@@motoringmasonsWent with the Triumph 400x and loving it.Got a trailer for it and the emtb's ready to use later in the year.
Wow , what a lovely house . Mind you I loved the house you sold . Very wise to take stock for a year and decide what you want to do. 👍
yes as they say act in haste repent at leisure. One thing we will definitely be doing is more motorhoming.
Happy New Year 🎉 Good luck with your move.
Sorry, just noticed that I had not replied., too buried in boxes! Happy New Year.
Happy New year to a Lovely couple & good luck with the move , my wife and I moved house after 30 years collecting crap basically had to get rid of loads , and here we are 8 months later still opening boxes with useless stuff we should of just dumped instead of bringing it with us . GOOD LUCK .
We are finding stuff we have not touched for over 25 years except to move it here! Picked up the keys today for the rented place.Video out tonight.
Happy New Year 🎉❤
Happy new year!!
Hi both, happy new year to you, look forward to following your travels in 2025. Good luck with the big move xx
Thanks, we need it!
Happy new year Guys , we love watching your adventures and love your MH . We have a Carthago on order …so excited .
Wow, when do you get it and which model is it? Great thing to look forward to in 2025.
We should get it late spring hopefully it’s a 6.2 XL which is a tag at 8.75m long . We also tow a car , I just hope it’s not going to be too big to manoeuvre 🤞🏻
@@sallen2779 You will be fine. Our last van was 9.1 Kontiki with the car on the back, just don't try to reverse if it's on an A Frame, let them wait! We are 8.6m so with the car and A frame about 12m but have so far, fingers crossed, not had any issues, but just be aware and have a sat nav you can set with length. Enjoy when you get it and let us know how you get on.
Happy New Year to both of you Sha. Good luck with the move. Hope all goes smoothly. All the very best to you both
We are crossing our fingers! All I know is that I will be (already am) very tired at the end of it! I was 40 when we last moved, so not quite as fit now, but this form of exercise may help!
@ Am sure it will be worth it. Get a nice glass of chilled white and take a break 🥰
Already in hand!@@michaeldavis1841
Very interesting market! Hope you have a Happy New Year!
Many thanks, you too! Ours will certainly start busy as we move house on 28th Jan.
@@motoringmasons Moving is a lot of work.
@@emptynest2travel especially when you have not moved for 25 Years!
Happy Christmas guys
and to you too! Have a good one
Very enjoyable video - looking forward to more - have a great Christmas guys 🎄🎄
Great vlog , Merry Christmas to a wonderful Couple .
Thanks and to you too.
Lots going on with you guys. Sounds like you are going to be busy with the house sale in January 😃 Have a lovely Christmas and New Year 🎄🚐🤶🎅🏽🎄 Trev n Sue
Just catching up on the collab vids! Some lovely hobbies, I’m the same with reading at home, other things seem to take priority ☺️ Em 💜
We are off on the van tomorrow, next big book already packed!
@ enjoy 📚
Plenty of good hobbies there yeah motorhoming is got to be the best hobbies got to love motorbikes both me and Hazel are ex motorbikers Hazel had a bad crash on hers so don’t ride any more and I just haven’t had a motor bike for last 20 years Alan’s done a great job there with the drone love that viaduct footage best wishes Mark &Hazel
Thanks for the comments. Accidents are always a worry, especially here in Guernsey they specialise in pulling out in front of you!
All very inspirational stuff, as always !!
Drinking is a hobby that I excel in! 😂😂😂
Drinking a beer on a paddle board now I am tempted lol a really nice selection of hobbies there!
Alan picked the photos so despite looking like an alcoholic it did make me smile
I've often thought about trying paddle boarding but never quite got around to actually trying it. I have a friend who is an avid paddle boarder, I may have to see if he can show me the ropes.
Hi, wow paddle boarding sounds a good hobby, nice to have the sea on your door step. Plenty of hobbies there, great video xx
A comprehensive list. Thank you
Prefer a kayak over a paddleboard but definitely great to get out on the water in the sunshine 👍. Great to be able to take a motorcycle with you. I'm working on a solution for that...
You certainly have plenty of hobbies. Bodiam is wonderful! I'd love a drone...
May be Father Christmas will bring you one? As long as you have been good.
Who sells these inthe US?
I am afraid that I do not know, but the Carthago website has a way to find your nearest dealer, you just type in your postcode (ZIP)
So good to see Alan recovering well. Another simply stunning video. Keep up the great work Sha!
I think it was Alan's photography and the Autumn colours that made this one
@ I agree, brilliant photography and videography from Alan. But he does have beautiful content to work with ❤️
Nice sharing my friend!
I love Winchester! Such a lovely city. I must remember to Google if they have a Christmas fair this year....! Thanks for sharing N&Nx
Yes they do, around the Cathedral with over 100 stalls, we googled it!
Great vlog , keep well & Merry Christmas .
Thanks, we will be in the van for Christmas , hopefully some Christmas Day greetings from the van!
lol, I have a 6-year-old, and I dream of adult-only sites lol!!
In time, you will just have to be patient!
PS Just subscribed
That has to be the most boring , pointless video I have ever seen.
Another brilliant video Sha. Hope Alan is feeling much better. ❤️❤️
Yes he certainly is, the surgery was a life changer, see our video if you haven't seen it th-cam.com/video/1kN1p2FF1Vs/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for your comments much appreciated. We are off again on 17th December not sure where yet!
Good to hear Alan is recovering well. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work. ♥️
You are dead right. The site that meets your requirements on the day is the best site. Great video.
Unfortunately we put too many nice sites off because of the access to them! No one wants to gets stuck, face-to-face with a tractor! Thank you for you take on our subject!!
Hello Sha, enjoyed hearing about your perfect campsites, agree its all about what it is you want at the time. We like Adult only campsites too and have tried a few of the Tranquil Parks ones, take care x Julie and Tony x
Adult only wins for us too 😊 Thanks Sha for your thoughts on this 😁 Em 💜
Lovely discussion about campsites. We agree that our idea of the perfect site will depend on what we want at the time. Enjoyed your discussion and clips 😃👍🏻💙🚐 Trev n Sue
Good ideas there and yes agree good road access is the key specially when you have a large motorhome
Carsington Water is a favourite of ours 👍
All good sites but not really what we like. As you say it is individual likes etc. except maybe noisy kids.
