Hi everyone, thanks for the support and brilliant comments. Unfortunately the comment section is getting targeted by scammers. If you receive a message on here using my image which claims to be from Telegram or that you have won a prize please ignore it. As extra precaution I've changed the settings to 'approved only' so don't worry if your comment doesn't immediately appear, it's just that it's awaiting my approval!
Great idea, I mentioned something like that to someone else who was getting trouble with scammers on their TH-cam, glad to see you are doing that. Idiot scammers, they get everywhere.
I was chatting to a famous singer once and he said that he can read thousands of positive comments about the band and it’s music, but he would let the one negative comment overrule the good ones. The reason people are nasty is purely down to envy, jealousy and spite. You will never rid people of that nature so laugh and smile as you read their comments and feel pity for the sad life they must have. Keep on rolling mate x
Mate your the best thing I've seen on TH-cam for ages, you're the perfect bloke to be a mate with, down to earth and no frills, someone you can have a couple of pints down the local and put the world to rights! Your fantastic mate never change, all the best Greg from Hull
@@bythecurb deffo punching thou fella , your Mrs is fit as! 😉 Keep doing what you're doing, keep being yourself , and your channel with grow and grow, your Barnsley's real life Peter Kay!
Mate fuck the folk wanting to slag you off….. their just keyboard warriors and arseholes…. You do what you want, live how you want and swim against the flow…only dead fish go with the flow… bash on man
Played with doncaster when i was 17 way back in the 70s and you two have just confirmed what i always thought as a scotsman, that yorkshire people are some of the greatest ive met. Keep up the great work
We are,respects,its nice to be nice,it costs nothing and requires little effort..Better than living thinking ya better than everyone else , Judging folk cos they can't buy what many can? Being Flash isn't gangster,,gangster is paying bills,feeding the family,going without so ya kids don't,itsliving with priority,,priceless.Humble life ,& thankful 🙏, Respects
I’m a fifty year old Cornishman and was eating exactly the same meal as you Barnsley folk in the 80s, cod in the bag, boiled potatoes, cabbage and artic role made me smile as you were saying it 😂 Good luck with everything.
Your 50 year old. At first i thought omg he is an old man. 50 yrs sounds really old. Then I realised uam 52. Never looked at myself as being old. But I guess I need to be realistic.
Love the channel and your open and honest content. Your upbeat humour is fab. I just about remember cod, parsley sauce meals hehe. Your mum and dad spunds fab and i love your adventures with helen. You just do what makes you happy. Ps ever seen a channel grizzly gaz? From upt^ north too and a wild camper.
Enjoy your adventure man ! I'm now into my second year of living in my van, it's a great stress free lifestyle !! I certainly recommend it to anyone who can. I'm currently in the south of France. I was in England a month ago. I retired last year so I'm as free as an eagle 😉 Good luck, oh and by the way, it's normally safer in quite places, especially cemeteries lol. Bonne soirée à toi
I agree about the cemetery.. I lived in my car for awhile and the cemetery was the best place to sleep.. nice and quiet and no one ever bothered me.. safe travels.. from New Zealand 🦋
You are a smashing chap, I'm loving your videos. At the moment I'm watching you driving around in the dark, yes looks scarey, Maybe a good idea to suss out a place during the day. You have a dry sense of humour, you make me laugh, I'm a 78 Yr old female, It's a great idea living this way, looking forward to more, take care good luck.
James a wise woman once said to me (My darling Mum) "Don't try to work out people you'll waste your life". Carry on doing what your doing, I'm throughly enjoying your channel as are many others. 👍🇬🇧
If you wasnt doing gd stuff pal you wouldn't have haters around and that's a fact in all walks of life. If you wasnt producing content that others enjoy and relate to ,then the haters would not be around.So well done,keep going and doing what the majority like,that's what matters.😂Family in worsbrough bridge area,get some Barnsley chops kidda😂. Respects 🙏 Warren P.s. Ladybower and the Strines reservoirs worth a visit in van pal.💯 Stay safe 🙏
quality content mate. ignore the bitter wasters. they are not worth worrying about. what you are doing at the moment is inspiring, and enjoy. One life.
Good man. What i started to do while live in a van was roll my duve and sheet in to a long tube as back rest on the bed/sofa. Fastetst bedding ever. Live in a house now and still does it. ( No need to replay)
love it! I would 100% do this if my kids were a bit older. Very jealous. Ignore the negative comments, you'll always have haters, no matter what you do, shame really but its reality. keep doing what you're doing as alot of us are massively enjoying the dry humour and how its progressing!
Don’t know how I found your channel but really glad I did! Enjoying your shenanigans with your lady on the pub crawl a few days ago, what a giggle! Enjoy your freedom …. It will soon be spring and life will be easier for you (not so cold)…..what a great adventure,I wish I could do something mad like that😊 Look forward to following your dream with you ……take care and look after yourself ☺️
@bythecurb hi, I stumbled across your channel thru the algorithm of YT.. am currently *binging* your content, I have such envy for you been able to create the break you have done, life is hard, stressful etc, and you and Helen are so beautiful together, I love your content, you make me laugh and so envious that such a break from the system ain’t always possible, may your journey long continue James, and Helen, much respect to you both!! 👍❤
@bythecurb you’re more than welcome James, I’m half way through your videos soo far as I think you’re an inspiration to what you want o do in life, you’re free and that offers so much happiness with the different views each morning …I’m almost tempted myself, lol. Been touched by some of your emotional content, but you’re keeping it real like you said, life isn’t always easy and times can get hard, but to me it seems you’re following your dreams, muany regards to you both!! Stay safe, 👍❤
We really enjoy your channel, so good having someone that is real and your vlogs are so entertaining. Keep them coming and the real people will enjoy them and keep watching. Kay and Paul. x
You is so funny you make I larf ! Cod in butter sauce and Arctic roll 🤣🤣 I ain't bin v. well and your channel really cheers me up . Obviously there are parts when I'm not lafin at you, but with you ! What a breath of fresh air you ( and your luvly gal) are. I dread you moving in with Helen cos you'll stop living in the van which is entertaining us so much . Keep warm and stay safe . Happy Valentine ❤ x Sheep were worried by the heavy breathin' !! Then when you lost the van ...I lost it !
Omg you are the best channel I've found in yonks, talk about laugh 😃. You are a proper northern bloke with a fantastic sense of humour. Keep up the good work much love from Redcar x
Only just discovered your channel! Love it, you just crack me up. So honest and real. Can’t beat the simple life, what do we need all the material “ stuff “ for, just causes more stress!! Love Helen, she is so happy 😊
Ooh I’ve just subbed to your channel. God Knows why it came up on my feed? New van life, naturally shot vids. Easy to watch Well done! Quit a few people now choosing a van life. Including my brother who’s had an amazing first year, travelling all over the place. Recording it all. Winter is obvs harder, but once the summer arrives, he’s campsite to campsite, (he’s bought a tent attachment) enjoying beautiful scenery and finds some fab places. He’s off to Italy or three months this summer.Great memories. Think what your doing is amazing.
The very best of luck my friend, I lived on the river with no amenities years back when I couldn’t afford to rent and it’s hard so I admire you. You deserve every word of encouragement and just let the haters hate :)
I think your doing a great thing living in your van, I'd love to live in mine but the misses loves her creature comforts. Love the reality of your channel keep them coming mate 👍👍
We had our cod in parsley sauce and artic roll was fab in a bowl of custard. Loving your videos. I did the gym and shower thing when my new bathroom was being fitted. I love the banter between you and your lass. Lovely couple.
Good luck to you. I don't think I could do it on my own I'd never sleep! ... And pay no attention to the doubters, your life live it how you want no matter how long living in the van lasts. I love camper vibe's videos too.
Please please please don't let those jealous envious trolls dampen your wonderful chosen lifestyle. Some actually do it for so called fun!!! I love your honesty and brilliant humour and you and your lovely lady partner are such fun...keep going..take care. Chris x
The great thing about you James is your honesty and down to earth attitude. It's the real you on the screen, no agendas, just an truthful account of the adventure you are on and showing it as it is, which these days often isn't the case with youtubers! Also just love your dry Barnsley sense of humour which is never forced or planned, but just casually comes out naturally as an observational aside. I'm rooting for you and really looking forward to being a part of your experiences. Would I love to do what you are doing? Yes. Can I? No, not in my present situation, but at least I can live it vicariously through you!
I could listen to you and your philosophy on life all day James. Top bloke and so nice with it. I wish you all the best and nothing more. P.S Helen is a sweetheart too.x
Excellent vlog, I think you have done amazingly well and it’s a brave thing to do. Once you get into your stride and get used to it you will feel more settled. You will learn a lot from other tubers on park ups. I can fully see why you are doing this, it doesn’t matter how hard people work it’s never enough to pay rent/mortgages utility bills, food etc. Enjoy the freedom you have given yourself. As for the negative comments - block em! They are just tubetrolls. You and Helen are good together and long may you both continue to share your life with us through your vlogs 😊
Good evening my friend I hope that you are safe and keeping warm especially with the weather that we are having at the moment, as you have already told everyone in previous videos do not let people pull you down. Because I am just so proud of you for standing up for yourself you go for it my friend. And yes I am Transgendered but I don't let it worry me. I used to live in Wakefield 25 years ago but since living in the South West I have never looked back I now live in Wellington Somerset so if you ever decided to come to Somerset don't hesitate to call in for a cuppa tea and a chat speak to you soon van man
Hi J n H ,loved the new video, been looking forward to it, Lang sett what a beautiful place we love to walk our dogs there.good luck you 2 lovely people keep making me smile,
I am an older man, older than you, but watching you motivates and reasures me. You are a good man with a great attitude and quirky sense of humour, thankyou and well done. I almost feel jealous. From Australia...
Your misses has a great sense of humour which is always a winner! Getting lost lol, never mind, put your slippers on and suck on another worther’s original! 🤣 Happens to us all 😂 Been a while since I’ve had a pint of Tetley’s too! Good luck fella, you’re doing awesome 🙂🍻🏴💪
U two crease me up when you’ve had a drink. You are the best thing I’ve seen on TH-cam for ages. Keep it up. Helen is so funny you’re the perfect couple keep it up
Your welcome mate be safe and Enjoy it’s shit winter time springs Round the corner James best of Luck Helen brightens my day when she in the can with your both funny in your own way
Found james on TH-cam a week ago and can’t get enough. Down to earth Yorkshire lad , keep it up james it’s spot . To top it off Helen is a ray of light and you two are definitely suited.
Looks like youre settling in just fine mate. If im honest i could have easily watched another half hour of this! You're on nearly 12K Subscribers now man, incredible hey! Really well done mate.
Yup please get yersen a diesel heater huge improvement for you and the missus. Also I agree don’t feed the trolls. Great enjoyable film again ta buddy.
Mate be very careful staying in some of theses lay-bys ect with me being a trucker you must look after yourself take care great vids and forget about the idiots and the negative people you will do what’s best for you 💪🏻
An absolute joy to watch and another dimension again when the pair of you get together. Thinking it won't be long until you're hosting a brilliantly received and attended event where a fine time will be had by all...(possibly in an ASDA car park!!!). Thank you both, wanting more already!!
So pleased its working out for you think it makes a difference when you have made the choice to do this and your getting your van sorted also for me when I lived in a van I had no money to kit it out for living in it but you are doing really great even having the Gym to shower in well thought out stay safe and really enjoying watching your journey ..
I'm loving your videos mate, it's very refreshing to see how honest and down to earth your videos are so keep up the great work and looking forward to the next one.
Great video, stunning country side you’re getting to see. So long as you are happy and enjoying your new life that’s all that really matters. These fools comparing themselves to you are only jealous that there’s something stopping them living a simple life. 11000 people can’t be wrong
I've been watching van life videos, a few every day for a few years now and I must say, yours are some of the best. It's your down to earth style, you're funny and relatable as well. That's why I subscribed the very first time I came across your videos. There will come a time when you won't be able to keep up with replying to every comment...it's to be expected. I mean, you do have a life apart from TH-cam after all. 😊 As for the negative comments, just let them be like water gliding off of a duck's back...As I said before, it's TH-cam, after all. lol Those types of comments go with the territory, sadly. Just ignore them, or if they become too much you can block them. 🤷♀️👍 l look forward to your uploads. Looking forward to the next... Get yourself a heater already. 😬 Signing out, from the sunny Caribbean. 🌞
I’ve just found you and your Chanel and can’t wait to binge watch more, we’re in our late 50’s and are getting our first motorhome in a couple of months, watching you is making this even more exciting ! Great video
I'm still stuck with a knackered diesel pump. So not moved for a month but still loving van life and I'm parked in a great location. Great video matey.
Great vloggs matey. Don't listen to negativity, keep doing your thing. Is all good and is a new experience your having, stay positive and good luck to you mate.
Really enjoying the channel and your positive outlook on life. All the best to you and remember, age is just a number. ('...the sheep are looking at me funny...' nearly made me choke with laughter!)
GOOD ON YOU JAMES MATE YOUR DOING WHAT MOST OF US WOULD LOVE TO DO , BUT MOST ARE TRAPPED IN A SAME OLD SAME OLD LIFE ,IT MUST BE HARD AT FIRST BUT IT WILL ALL COME TOGETHER SOON , I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND ADVENTURES SO COMICAL AND REAL , STAY SAFE ENJOY EACH DAY LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT ,LOVE HOW YOUR VANS COMING ON LOOKS EPIC WELL DONE PAL , TAKE CARE KEEP ON TRUCKIN .👍👍👍👍💪👏👏👏👏👏👌
Great stuff keep em coming dont take any notice of the negatives there every bloody where spreading doom and gloom , love your totally honest vids and the humour , keep on enjoying it matey
Love what you have achieved. I also go for a walk around the reservoirs and up the mountains too. Then go and see to the horses later. It's good for the soul. I'm over 50 too, that's when life begins now not over 40. Negative people are projecting their miserable lives onto you. They love to trigger people, so definitely don't give them the satisfaction. Keep rolling on, also you are doing the right thing as many people will be losing their homes shortly with all the price hikes. Hopefully they do not though.
😂😂😂😂 you are funny in such a natural way … the cod in a bag from nowhere 😂😂😂 and then the parking at night it looks scary 😂😂😂and then losing the car park 😂😂😂😂 brilliant absolutely brilliant 😂😂😂😂
Northern lad here from Canada again.. your comment on the Lakeside parking and you looking for a pond me me and the Mrs Lol.. we do remember the fish in sauce in the bag, brilliant times.. ATB James cant wait till the next one.. 👍🙏
Good vlog this one. I can see the beginnings of a lean and sustainable lifestyle in how you are doing things. Like you say is winter now and has to be harder than in summer right? Looks like youre keeping busy and learning how to get by in a new way of doing things. Its inspirational mate. Great attitude aswell. New sub and interested to see where you go with it. Cheers.
You will always get knockers in life. You're living your life, all the best to you. Your TH-cam channel is brilliant, but it is also pulling at me to visit Yorkshire again, been so long. My dad and his family come from London but my mum and her family come from Thrybergh, nr.Rotherham. Sadly, due to getting older my grandparents and other family pasted on. So yeah, visit to Yorkshire is on the cards. All the very best wishes to you and Helen. You are top bloke, live your life and be happy.
60 something 2 weeks into full time Car life, tip to stay warm, get some Teddy bedding, bottom sheet and duvet cover not expensive, mine was about £20 at The Range but makes a difference when the cars frozen inside I’m still warm.
love your work mate, you and the misses are a great couple, I lived in a van for 2 years and loved it after leaving my ex, she said it was embarrasing that i'd rather live in a van than be with her, I told her I'd rather live on a park bench than be with her again 😆 admittedly i was in Australia, but the van was basic and freezing sometimes, i used to grab freezing showers at the surf clubs or wash in the ocean everyday...there was plenty of shrinkage.🥶
Hi everyone, thanks for the support and brilliant comments. Unfortunately the comment section is getting targeted by scammers. If you receive a message on here using my image which claims to be from Telegram or that you have won a prize please ignore it. As extra precaution I've changed the settings to 'approved only' so don't worry if your comment doesn't immediately appear, it's just that it's awaiting my approval!
That's a problem popping up all over TH-cam. I see them on a few pages that I'm subscribed too.
Great idea, I mentioned something like that to someone else who was getting trouble with scammers on their TH-cam, glad to see you are doing that. Idiot scammers, they get everywhere.
Good lord it's about time TH-cam sorted this out
Hang on a minute, if I’ve won a cuddly toy and week in Skegness I want my prize 😂
I was chatting to a famous singer once and he said that he can read thousands of positive comments about the band and it’s music, but he would let the one negative comment overrule the good ones.
The reason people are nasty is purely down to envy, jealousy and spite. You will never rid people of that nature so laugh and smile as you read their comments and feel pity for the sad life they must have. Keep on rolling mate x
Thanks mate

Mate fuck the folk wanting to slag you off….. their just keyboard warriors and arseholes…. You do what you want, live how you want and swim against the flow…only dead fish go with the flow… bash on man
Totally agree! Curry sauce is not an accompaniment to fish & chips. It's mushy peas every time.
Yes you can get cod in butter sauce mate
Boil in the bag fish with parsley sauce, mash n veg...favourite meal growing up 😊
Played with doncaster when i was 17 way back in the 70s and you two have just confirmed what i always thought as a scotsman, that yorkshire people are some of the greatest ive met. Keep up the great work
Thanks Derek, I have some Scottish friends, lovely folk too! 🙂

It's hard to believe sometimes. I feel about 30 in my head!!

Good evening my friend I hope that you are safe and keeping warm especially with the weather that we are having at the moment, as you have already told everyone in previous videos do not let people pull you down.
Because I am just so proud of you for standing up for yourself you go for it my friend.
And yes I am Transgendered but I don't let it worry me.
I used to live in Wakefield 25 years ago but since living in the South West I have never looked back I now live in Wellington Somerset so if you ever decided to come to Somerset don't hesitate to call in for a cuppa tea and a chat speak to you soon van man
You are an inspiration. Good luck and all you do. I love watching your Channel.

An absolute joy to watch and another dimension again when the pair of you get together. Thinking it won't be long until you're hosting a brilliantly received and attended event where a fine time will be had by all...(possibly in an ASDA car park!!!). Thank you both, wanting more already!!
Thanks David, that would be the event of the year!
There’ll always be haters,every utube I follow say the same, ignore them and enjoy what your doing 👍🌸
Spot on Laura ❤

Thanks mate, good look with your journey!
One of my absolute favourite films was made in Barnsley in 1969,it’s called Kes.Its a brilliant film you should watch if you get the chance.
I know Kes well, the house used was in Hoyland in Barnsley, it belonged to a friend of my dad
Great video James , really enjoyed watching your adventure, keep up good work see you on the next one 🍻😊
They're jealous mate ignore them 😊
I'm loving your videos mate, it's very refreshing to see how honest and down to earth your videos are so keep up the great work and looking forward to the next one.
Great video, stunning country side you’re getting to see. So long as you are happy and enjoying your new life that’s all that really matters.
These fools comparing themselves to you are only jealous that there’s something stopping them living a simple life. 11000 people can’t be wrong
I've been watching van life videos, a few every day for a few years now and I must say, yours are some of the best. It's your down to earth style, you're funny and relatable as well. That's why I subscribed the very first time I came across your videos. There will come a time when you won't be able to keep up with replying to every comment...it's to be expected. I mean, you do have a life apart from TH-cam after all. 😊 As for the negative comments, just let them be like water gliding off of a duck's back...As I said before, it's TH-cam, after all. lol Those types of comments go with the territory, sadly. Just ignore them, or if they become too much you can block them. 🤷♀️👍 l look forward to your uploads. Looking forward to the next... Get yourself a heater already. 😬 Signing out, from the sunny Caribbean. 🌞
Thank you! Do you need a Caribbean lodger?? 😀 It's getting much harder to respond to the messages but I'll keep trying .
@@bythecurb Haha! I'm a lodger myself. lol Okay about responding. 😊
I’ve just found you and your Chanel and can’t wait to binge watch more,
we’re in our late 50’s and are getting our first motorhome in a couple of months, watching you is making this even more exciting ! Great video
Wonderful, I'm getting a new van myself soon 😊
Wishing you all the best, stay happy and healthy out there! Would be interested in seeing a bit about your work etc
Could make a video about it.
Love your dry sense of humour and how real you are...made me laugh when you lost the van!..and your 'this is not slow montion'...in the gym...
Thank you!
I'm still stuck with a knackered diesel pump. So not moved for a month but still loving van life and I'm parked in a great location. Great video matey.
Thanks mate, glad you're in a good place
Great vloggs matey. Don't listen to negativity, keep doing your thing.
Is all good and is a new experience your having, stay positive and good luck to you mate.
love your videos, your growth recently is deserved
youre a good man
Thank you
Hi James & Helen
So great to see such a genuine sound bloke and lovely Helen slightly bonkers when she's had a few.
Really enjoying the channel and your positive outlook on life. All the best to you and remember, age is just a number. ('...the sheep are looking at me funny...' nearly made me choke with laughter!)
Thanks
GOOD ON YOU JAMES MATE YOUR DOING WHAT MOST OF US WOULD LOVE TO DO , BUT MOST ARE TRAPPED IN A SAME OLD SAME OLD LIFE ,IT MUST BE HARD AT FIRST BUT IT WILL ALL COME TOGETHER SOON , I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND ADVENTURES SO COMICAL AND REAL , STAY SAFE ENJOY EACH DAY LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT ,LOVE HOW YOUR VANS COMING ON LOOKS EPIC WELL DONE PAL , TAKE CARE KEEP ON TRUCKIN .👍👍👍👍💪👏👏👏👏👏👌
Great stuff keep em coming dont take any notice of the negatives there every bloody where spreading doom and gloom , love your totally honest vids and the humour , keep on enjoying it matey
Mate don't let them grind you down. Make your own life and enjoy the ups and downs, if it fails it's a test and you know what to do next time.
Well done to you, hope you can keep going and make this work out for you and your family ... Hopefully your subscribers will grow...
Love what you have achieved. I also go for a walk around the reservoirs and up the mountains too. Then go and see to the horses later. It's good for the soul.
I'm over 50 too, that's when life begins now not over 40.
Negative people are projecting their miserable lives onto you.
They love to trigger people, so definitely don't give them the satisfaction.
Keep rolling on, also you are doing the right thing as many people will be losing their homes shortly with all the price hikes. Hopefully they do not though.
Thanks Lesley, life definitely does begin at 50 and I'm loving it! 😀
Loving these videos mate, keep doing what your doing
Thanks, will do!
😂😂😂😂 you are funny in such a natural way … the cod in a bag from nowhere 😂😂😂 and then the parking at night it looks scary 😂😂😂and then losing the car park 😂😂😂😂 brilliant absolutely brilliant 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much! 😀
Great video,loving your journey
Very good, thank you.
Life is hard enough without anyone else’s negativity. You are doing okay. I will subscribe right now.
Who knew? Was already subscribed :|
Thanks mate
Loving the vids, and the insights and the realism. Keep 'em coming bud. Much respect.
Thanks, will do!
Northern lad here from Canada again.. your comment on the Lakeside parking and you looking for a pond me me and the Mrs Lol.. we do remember the fish in sauce in the bag, brilliant times.. ATB James cant wait till the next one.. 👍🙏
Good vlog this one. I can see the beginnings of a lean and sustainable lifestyle in how you are doing things. Like you say is winter now and has to be harder than in summer right? Looks like youre keeping busy and learning how to get by in a new way of doing things. Its inspirational mate. Great attitude aswell. New sub and interested to see where you go with it. Cheers.
Thank you, I appreciate it
You get two Cod in butter sauce from Heron £3 for 2 , of £2 for 1 !
You will always get knockers in life. You're living your life, all the best to you. Your TH-cam channel is brilliant, but it is also pulling at me to visit Yorkshire again, been so long. My dad and his family come from London but my mum and her family come from Thrybergh, nr.Rotherham. Sadly, due to getting older my grandparents and other family pasted on. So yeah, visit to Yorkshire is on the cards.
All the very best wishes to you and Helen. You are top bloke, live your life and be happy.
Your doing a good job keep it up love your video's 👍
60 something 2 weeks into full time Car life, tip to stay warm, get some Teddy bedding, bottom sheet and duvet cover not expensive, mine was about £20 at The Range but makes a difference when the cars frozen inside I’m still warm.
Hope its going well. I've got a sleeping bag on a heated mat, a thick duvet and a small tube heater 😀
love your work mate, you and the misses are a great couple, I lived in a van for 2 years and loved it after leaving my ex, she said it was embarrasing that i'd rather live in a van than be with her, I told her I'd rather live on a park bench than be with her again 😆 admittedly i was in Australia, but the van was basic and freezing sometimes, i used to grab freezing showers at the surf clubs or wash in the ocean everyday...there was plenty of shrinkage.🥶
Haha, I can imagine!! 😆😬
