It's my first time watching your channel. I loved it. So heart warming. My husband passed away 2 weeks ago and it's been so difficult for me but it made me feel warm and happy watching you both together enjoying your life. X X
I’m sorry you have lost your husband! All I can say is I hope you have a good friend that you spend more time with you, maybe she/he maybe in the same position?
Just found you tonight, and subscribed right after your video. You have a beautiful calming aura around you both. Also a quiet, dry humor I love. Can’t wait to see what else you treat us to in the future!
I lived in the New Forest for over 20 years. Used to often go down the road to Milford on Sea. Nice place in some ways, not in others. Thanks for the vlog xx
I as a former coach and bus driver always double the amount of distance between whatever I’m driving and the the vehicle in front but more often than not some numpty will always try to get one car ahead of me and then they’ll often come a cropper because of their impatience. It still doesn’t detract from your wholesome videos.👍🙏
Great hat save Ken. Fast on your feet, committed to the task. You could teach the England team a thing or t two there. Entertaining as always. thanks :)
02:00 sound of the mast stays is nectar - i can fall asleep to that and the wind and rain after years of sitting in the shelters that used to line the Princess Pier in Torquay as a child in an effort to ponder life.
My Dad was a police officer in the USA and taught me about the road grease when it first rains. You're absolutely correct. He was also in a fatal accident investigation team so he saw first-hand how it played out. ❤
Lovely video. thank you. I am enjoying the meals for two that you make look so easy and taste. I could smell the soup all the way to St. John's, Newfoundland, where I live! All the best.
I've been watching a lot of camping in the rain videos and your VANLIFE UK came up. Very nice sitting back and watching you two making the very most of a tremendous storm. Have subscribed . . . . take care
May I be so bold as to give you a wee tip on elevating your celery soup…? I’m 45 and have been making this since I was 19 when my ex mother in law gave me a Mary Berry cookbook (along with 3 others!) to make sure I was feeding her son 😂 what I’ve learned along the way is, using a peeler to peel the ridge from each celery stick will give you a smoother soup. Always soften your ingredients in butter and/or oil before adding the stock. It massively increases the flavour. Finally, don’t add too much liquid during the cooking process. But at the end, add some milk or cream to give it a rich flavour. 👌🏻 I now also add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, but that’s a personal preference. Loved watching you cook your omelette! And you look like you’re having a lovely cosy time in your camper. Just discovered you today and look forward to watching more. But lol that weather! Almost like our Scottish summers! 😅
Watching both of u relaxes me ur both so lovely a beautiful couple & u can tell how much love u have for each other which is also beautiful both ur voices are so calming I’m just catching up on ur blogs thank you for sharing them & ur motorhome is a balance between really comfortable & homey I love it take care on the roads ❤
Great video. I’ve forgotten all about the 5 months of rain we had now the sun’s shining. I always enjoy seeing what you cook in the van. Delia does a lovely white onion sauce for smoked cod/haddock. You use the poaching milk and add chopped hard boiled egg, delicious. Mind the peas would be nice added too. We sometimes have the Lidl Frikadellen in their panini rolls with cheese and tomato sauce and we call them the Carol and Ken’s 😁. Thanks as always for sharing another entertaining video.
I am a first timer here also. What a charming little adventure.. love seeing you cook things up while all cozy in your lovely van.. with a storm blowing outside. Thank you for sharing. Waving from New England. 👋
A great video Carole and Ken pleased to see you avoided the worst of the storm as I can vouch on the coast was pretty bad as the waves were coming over the harbour wall in Bridlington East Yorkshire.
My first time watching your channel tonight, I will be watching again. Wow your wee home on wheels looks so cosy, I love storms and would love to sit and watch the rain through the windows.
Enjoy watching you both, love seeing how you are getting the most out of life. Thank you for sharing, 👍 Prayers for your well being & safely. wa state, u.s. of a.
I love your van! It always looks so cozy in bad weather. And the food you make looks so good! Hope you get a break from the rain and wind. Send some rain this way to Colorado where it is so very dry. My mother used to make the peas and onions in a white sauce all the time. . Thank you for the idea!
Just in case you're interested... 😁 The rough white water was probably just wind against tide (outgoing tide in a channel, pushing against the water the wind is blowing the other way) which can be REALLY SCARY when you're in a boat amongst it! And the mast thingys... well, they're called mast stays or shrouds and it's the wire of those shrouds that you hear screaming. That's also REALLY scary when you're on a boat in amongst it! 😂😂 We're definitely going to try out Onion and Pea Sauce. Cheers and thanks again. always enjoy your videos.
We live on the Isle of Wight, and right on the south coast ….the wind was nothing like it can be! We are near where the land slide was! But I can tell you once you have lived here you get used to the wind!
I do love you two! As always, so much useful information (to me at least). About to enter my fourth month of FT van life and the comment regarding the rough weather being fun made me laugh... thank you!
Oh wow I have just found your Chanel and I must say it’s delightful Thankyou so much for sharing your adventures. Looking forward to the next one And catching up with older posts x
Just came across your channel, what a joy to share to travels. Will definitely join you on your travels around. You are so calm and sweet with each other. Regards from Australia. 🇦🇺
We never worried about the wind when parked up, and we had a coachbuilt on a few stormy days. Weather forecasts usually exaggerate wind speed, it's always 'up to x miles' which could mean anything 😂. I've never seen a panel van blown over whilst parked up 😂.
First time watching for me as well, what I would have done if you had another 10 amp fuse in the box was take the other one out put it in the one that was blown charge your phones then switch it back, the following day go and get a packet of knew fuses. Keep the new packet in the van for future use.
It's my first time watching your channel. I loved it. So heart warming. My husband passed away 2 weeks ago and it's been so difficult for me but it made me feel warm and happy watching you both together enjoying your life. X X
@@peggysioux5yrs so sorry for your loss. Glad you had some comfort from watching our video. Take care ❤️
Awwww😢I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🏻❤️
So sorry for your loss it must be really difficult. Please take care.❤ XX
I’m sorry you have lost your husband! All I can say is I hope you have a good friend that you spend more time with you, maybe she/he maybe in the same position?
Take care my lovely....time heals and eases but in your own time...

I love being inside a trailer with that special someone, toasty and warm and protected while the world rages outside ❤
Yes we love it ❤️
I must say that unlike most, I love grey skies and rain. 😮😊
I'm the same way rainy days are my favorite, and my favorite times of year are fall and winter.😊
I love it too ⛈️
Me too. Other people’s “bad weather” is my good weather!
Me too xxxx
We look forward to it and celebrate with a nice cup of tea
My 3 year old grandson always thinks a yellow traffic light means “boot it” 😂😂
As long as the van is not leaking, it is part of the fun😅
Agreed 👍
This sure beats watching a movie. You two are lovely 🥰
@@unicornloverxoxo7692 thank you ❤️
Enjoyed the video. Your van looks so cozy when you are all inside and the rain is pouring outside and wind is blowing . Take care .
Thanks 👍
Wow .. that’s sweet , he thanked her for cooking
My husband does almost every time ❤
My husband cooks for me as I'm disabled and I say please and thank you for every single thing he does for me
Every meal it’s very lovely.
Well done Officer Ken for chasing down that fleeing cap, you’ve still got those cop instincts.
😂
@@LifeistooshortCK At least it didn't fight back when you caught it! :)

I could list to you both all day !!! I love the fact you have a van with more room - you both deserve it ❤
Thank you 🙏
Ken’s very lucky to have an excellent cook
@@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957 YES I agree, I’ve copied a few ideas from , I enjoy the cooking part in the videos
Have just found your channel. What a treat.the howling of the masts was my one of my favorite parts. Greetings from across the pond.
@@TheAyurvedic welcome. Thanks for watching 🙂
I love how y'all take turns cooking 👍👍
I don't know if anyone's ever told you but your voice sounds like the guy on Winnie the Pooh it's so sweet y'all have a blessed day
You cannot beat a home-made soup. Much better than a can. Butternut Squash & Carrot is one of my favourites.
I feel like I've just been on a mini break watching this. The food you cooked looks so tasty! ❤
Snoopy = a safe, cozy haven in a storm ❤
l so much enjoyed you both from the state of Georgia in the USA
great viewing ...showing the real life cooking in camper vanning ....well done ken and charlie brown 🥰
So bizarre to watch this whilst we are all sweltering, strangely comforting 🤷♀️Great video as always
So cozy hearing the wind blowing outside while you cooked. Nice meals are part of the small joys of life. Have a great summer ☀️🌸
So true. Thanks, you too ❤️
I enjoyed the cooking segments. That weather was horrible, but you were cozy on the inside!
Just found you tonight, and subscribed right after your video. You have a beautiful calming aura around you both. Also a quiet, dry humor I love. Can’t wait to see what else you treat us to in the future!
Thanks for subscribing and we are glad you like the videos 👍
I really enjoy your company. I disabled so it’s lovely seeing you both on your adventures. You’re both so nice. Thankyou x
Glad to have you watching our travels ❤️
Hi, I'm from North Dakota in the States, I just love your channel 😁
Hi Jenifer 🙂
Have you thought of cookbook for vanlife? You're good at being inventive. ❤
Maybe one day ☺️
Toasties a firm favourite in the van. Your fuse issue made us think, must get some spares 👍
They have been added to our emergency kit along with the cable ties and gaffer tape 😄👍
I love hearing his voice, in so smoothie😍
I lived in the New Forest for over 20 years. Used to often go down the road to Milford on Sea.
Nice place in some ways, not in others. Thanks for the vlog xx
Despite the weather conditions your both making it a fun trip & you drove past my Road ( Boscombe) 😊 great video thanks for sharing 😊

I thought that wind would tug it away from me so I gave it the full body slam 😁👍

Such a cute couple!
Thanks again for having us along on your journey!
Thanks for watching 🙂
Beautiful video! Thanks.
Love the way you are both so creative with your meals. The van is really cosy with that storm howling outside.
I love watching you both, I'm trying to convince my husband to get a campervan now.
Thank you for being so friendly, interesting and true to life. X
We enjoy it a lot. Give it a try 😁👍
Try renting one first before you buy. Might find out it isn’t for you.
Wow! What a fabulous video! Your editing is excellent! Definitely subscribing! ❤Joy from Vancouver Island, Canada
Cheers and welcome 👍
My Dad was a police officer in the USA and taught me about the road grease when it first rains. You're absolutely correct. He was also in a fatal accident investigation team so he saw first-hand how it played out. ❤
Yes it catches a lot of people out. That first little bit of rain is the killer.
"Black Ice"
We learned that in drivers ed when I was 15.
Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware and I appreciate it
@ureallyannoyme there's no 'drivers ed' in the uk. We learn from a family member or an instructor and they don't always include things like this.
The van seems to handle inclement weather quite nicely. That looked delicious. Very nice video.
Hi Larry. The van is doing great 👍
I don't really care much for watching people travel & cook, but I enjoyed your video.😊 New Subscriber
Thanks for the sub 😁👍
That’s just what I love about van life. It wouldn’t do for us all to be the same though would it!
Awesome video and soo happy you guys were okay in the storm,cheers from Halifax Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️🤗

A pot of live chives would be a good addition to your van, as they are so good in many recipes.
👍

We wouldn’t have wanted it to be any worse 😅
If you cut up the sausage in to bite size peices they will cook quicker and mix nicely in with the rice 😊
My first time watching your channel tonight, I will be watching again. Wow your wee home on wheels looks so cosy, I love storms and would love to sit and watch the rain through the windows.
