That was me that sent the strange toasting contraption. The young lady at the post office was very curious about the description I put on the mailing info. Yes, it does burn the toast very easily and I always have to take the battery out of the smoke detector, in my camper/caravan, when I use mine. Did you happen to see the instructions I included in the box?
On the narrowboat or just around town, you make your videos so entertaining! That's why you shouldn't worry about losing viewers! So glad you also have this channel!
Deepest sympathies on the tepid showers but kudos on the fab bagel breakfast sammie! Hilarious restaurant in an old police station, romantic dinner in a cell and then home in handcuffs, if you're into that sort of thing... 😁
"...and off I went home." Collecting your camera on the fence beforehand of course! 🤣 Sometimes forget the time and effort it takes to make these videos. Another entertaining viewing. Thanks David!
If you can find a canning ring, the ring that holds a lid on a home canning jar, you can make a perfect egg mcmuffin sized egg in it. I spray mine with non stick spray, but it's the exact right size and shape for either a bagel or an english muffin.
Hehe you said "Grotty" which I've said for 25 years after watching a hard day's night, haven't heard it said in the wild much, especially on TH-cam, it should make a comeback!
I just had to watch this again. I enjoy all your videos but there is just something about your cooking that tickles my fancy and makes my day. Cheers!!!
Some great one liners in that video😂 A couple of thoughts for you 1) Brown sauce with sausage (sausage substitute, and ketchup with bacon (bacon substitute) 2) re showers with those pain to use bush buttons. On sometimes take a cable tie and leatherman multi tool. A fix cable tie around pipe and button, then cut it off when you have finished shower
You have a knack of making all your vlogs really interesting. I enjoyed the sounds of nature, the canal and park. The tree was spectacular and the river running through the park was a nice sight. All in all a lovely town with some really beautiful assets. Thank you for the wander. Cheers.
Hubby made our once a year visit to McDonald's for a breakfast bagel and brought home a Berger King croissant. No more Bagel sandwiches here in Ohio, either. We were very disappointed. Yours looks great.
Good for you David, I also eat veggie sausages, they taste good and are much better for the body. I'm supposed to eat low fat, low cholesterol because of a triple bypass years ago. Great painting....! being an old sign painter myself I obviously noticed that. "Old sign painters never die, they just fade out" Thanks David for another great video...!!!
Ha, a video that embodies the transition from canals to campervanning - well done young sir. Just to mention - in the old days we used to take the kitchen toaster on trips in our splendid Fiat Talbot Highwayman - oh those were the days. May your van trips be as enjoyable as ours were.
Was great to catch up again! And it's a shame McDonald's haven't brought back the bagel - it was my favourite, with BBQ sauce. *I'd always buy an extra pattie, too 😄
Vikkie, you're a delightful young lady and, I'm sure, skilled in all manner of things. But that tea looked like you'd waved the teabag over the top of the pot and returned it to the tea-tin. 🙂
Gaffer tape over the press button for the shower might just have allowed the water to get to an acceptable temperature. 🤔 Lovely park, aren't some places lucky to have something so pleasant. Have a good week David , polish up those handcuffs 😉
I'm hungry now. 😄. An old tip for getting out of sticky situations like boggy ground or even snow. If you keep a couple of cheap door/floor mats, the carpet type in your storage area. If you get a bit stuck, jamb the shorter edge in front of the driving wheels and gently drive forward out of the boggy dip. Once moving drive to firmer ground and then retrieve the muddy mats for use again, hopefully sometime in the very distant future . If you dont drive over the mat slowly you risk them getting shot out behind and you have to start again.
@@Vandemonium Indeed! Well I am resubbed and looking forward to seeing your Vandemonium videos as well as what you have planed on the Cruisingthecut channel ^^
David. You have given me so much inspiration. I'm not 'fancy'. I don't need luxuries. I'm going to buy a little van like yours. I'll get the basics....and I'll travel. Thank you for your lovely videos xx
Take a zip tie ...put the shower button to on, tighten zip tie. Let shower run to hopefully reach warm temp. Shower, then cut zip tie off....need pen knife ! Also, go early. Before 07.00. Most camp site users are not up that early to shower so any hot water is yours.
Loved your breakfast bagel...Your becoming nicely accomplished..I'm very proud of you!.. Lovely little park The flower were appreciated!!!...Lets go for another campout soon?...😊😊
Thank you for allowing me to view the different scenic area. I especially like the flow of waters from the canals and river joints. It was so pleasant to see that. Try to be safe and enjoy life, Maranatha
In my youth I liked to cook my bread right over the top of the gas stove! I haven't done that in years.. everyone complained about the smell of the burned bread but I really enjoyed it.. I hope you liked it... Cheers from Missouri USA David..
I admit I was skeptical that I'd still love your vlogs sans you personally boating, but you have rewarded my loyalty. This one actually shows more of YOU, slices of life. Great job, and thanks.
Great video- watching while waiting for husband to finish cooking dinner ( half an hour to go, he says) - just when you are making your faux McDonald’s.! Could eat one right now! Lovely area to visit. CynthiaB
If you are worried about sausages and their content, try Kosher sausages, they only use the finest cuts from the front half of the cow, no nasty cow bits. Those vegan foods often contain large amounts of soy beans which contain estrogen, hence if consumed too much, you might be needing a bra in the future, You certainly don't want that I'm sure. Cheers from a Texan where meat is almost a religion... BTW LOVED THE VIDEO!
Hey David, I must admit, I absolutely agree showers should be at least pleasantly warm. Turn my skin red and steam out the bathroom, is best. 😊 I am trying to figure out the cheese you use, different names on this side of the pond. 😂 enjoy your breakfast. bye for now
My mom (French Canadian) loved grilled cheese sandwichs with cheddar cheese plus strawberry or blueberry preserves. Butter bread on both sides. Put very finely sliced cheddar then preserve then cheese again (fruit spread in the middle). Put slices together and grill on a cast iron skillet. Slowly. Use challah or brioche bread. Angels freaking weep. It's crusty, melty, fruity sweet. 😋 Also did that with Philadelphia cream cheese with marmalade or raspberry preserves. Same deal 😋 The trick is not to incinerate the bread. You want to golden crispy brown. Real butter does this beautifully. Patience is totally rewarded.
Lovely calming video David......nice to see adzventures get a mention too....good little channel that - check out his van-build episode, its excellent. 👍
I look forward to the moment when you come across with your old narrowboat, be it on a canal visiting journey in the van, or a reportage on CtC channel.
Wonderful David. Thank you for the tour of the Retford area. Your culinary expertise is improving immensely. It is time to stretch your skills to Bangers and mash for breakfast. Hope you are over your cold and feeling much more chipper. Take care, stay well and have an exceptional weekend.
Poor David! You can't stay away from water for long, can you? Canal and rivers that is! The tepid showers in unheated cubicles sound really miserable. But hooray for the bagel breakfast and being able to use someone else's washing-up facilities.
Watched earlier ...having had a cold myself ( just recovered) it no fun without tepid showers - dashing for the amenities and wet weather! Get well soon Jan Adelaide
David, I've used a toaster (grill) similar to yours for many years. After going through the electric toasters (all failing after a short time), I found the stovetop variety a better option. Cheers from the USA! 😊
Hi Roger...I am much to my family's laughter ( and continuing comments about my museum piece - yes we have seen on display!) still using my grannies drop down door toaster. I have used it since the 1970's and it is possibly from 40's? 50's?. It makes great toast and is much loved and when it finally ...I can't say it! I will need therapy and a drink or two! I HATE modern toasters so ???? Jan Adelaide S.A .

Glad you like them!
I absolutely love to listen to your commentaries. Love watching you cook.
I do enjoy a van trip with some of the "mundane" daily stuff. Seeing other folks' methods can be informative. Also, bonus points for a canal fix👍👍
Deepest sympathies on the tepid showers but kudos on the fab bagel breakfast sammie! Hilarious restaurant in an old police station, romantic dinner in a cell and then home in handcuffs, if you're into that sort of thing... 😁
Very good David. A bit of normality, in a crazy world.🙏👍🇦🇺
i honestly felt i just watch a program from the BBC lol. The narration is superb.
In my mind, episodes of Vandemomium and Cruising the Cutting of this nature are part of a show called "Ooo, lovely. With David Johns".
Hahaha I like that
This episode brought me joy, made me hungry, and gave me a little peace. Thank you
“Let the incineration begin “ started me laughing out loud !
You're getting good at making tastey food. I really enjoy you're video's they are very well presented and deserve to be on the tv.
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent shot of the Grey Wagtail.
So that’s what it was! Ta 👍

You wouldn't have to shell out much for it either....
Or crumpet rings.
That sausage and egg bagel sandwich looked so delicious. A masterpiece indeed.
Hehe you said "Grotty" which I've said for 25 years after watching a hard day's night, haven't heard it said in the wild much, especially on TH-cam, it should make a comeback!
I've been saying grotty for almost 60 years after hearing it from George. And I'm a Yank.
I watch enough Brits on TH-cam that I’ve taken to inventing my own
British slang. “Winky-wombley” is my signature phrase now.
YAY! Good to see you!
I just had to watch this again. I enjoy all your videos but there is just something about your cooking that tickles my fancy and makes my day. Cheers!!!
That was a good looking sandwich. Now you need a cooking show.
That breakfast bagel looks delicious! Almost as good as the legendary cheese sandwich!

I read the title and thought wow that is so cozy!! And then I saw "the curse of the tepid shower" and I am very sorry for your troubles

Thanks 😄😄
Lovely video, David. Glad you’re recovered now.
As usual, another interesting and informative vlog! Thank you, sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you David. Just wondered if the cold could be Hay Fever. Its bad atm. Take care and loved the video 🙂
"The Beast" sleeping pod. Highly recommended and will keep you warm. We use them in a tent down to 0'c and are very comfortable.

Best camping toaster ever, I like it so much I gave one to a friend.
That was a nice weekend trip. Can't wait to see your next adventure. Maybe a cheese sandwich with a mildly mature cheese?
Lovely vlog as usual. Hope your cold is gone. Bagel looked yummy! Happy trails
Thank you, I am much better
So glad our tour of the U.K. with you continues.

Congrats on the aged cheddar, the only way to go. "Master Chef" now, are we? The proof is in the tasting.

Campsite showers are meant to be tepid, no loitering. Greggs also do veggie sausage rolls.
And very good they are too
