That video is up there with some of the best van life stories I've seen (and I've seen a few). If there's a lesson to be learned, never be afraid to knock on other van's doors when you need help. There is a fantastic like minded community out there.
Hi Andrew, thank you for your kind words. You know what, we totally agree with you. We have been bowled over by the kindness of the van life community (especially up north), it feels like family up here. Hope you are having a great & warm Christmas 🎄 💚
You two are the most genuine sweetest couple 💑 ever. I was literally crying 😢 with you. You both are a pleasure believe it or not to watch. This is real life at its best. You deserve to keep on getting subscribers & sponsors xx
Some great laughs and sad tears in this episode. What fantastic story telling and I never suspected the final problem of no gas. These are memories you will treasure in the future even if they seem hard now. It’s all character building stuff. I was thinking of going the diesel heater and cooker route if we ever change our van but I have to say your experience has put me off now. LPG may be getting hard to find but I think it suffers far less problems than the diesel heaters do. When the shops are open again I recommend you get yourselves an emergency camping stove, like they use when people go backpacking, or a spirit stove that can be brought out when the gas runs out. They don’t take up much room and can save the day. This video deserves to go viral it’s so good. You are true TH-camrs. When things start going wrong most people put the camera down but it’s exactly the time to keep it rolling so bloody well done filming this story. May 2022 remove the curse of the diesel heater and bring you good fortune. All the very best from us ❤️😁👍
Ah what a fantastic comment! Really appreciate the support guys 🙏 And I think you are right, with 3 diesel heaters now, it's a pain in the backside. We are on the hunt from today for a camping stove as we are actually struggling to find gas. We have found a hot drink though We count our blessings each day, and can't wait to look back and laugh at all this. Heres to Sprout Sandwiches 🥪 ❄️🚐
Just started watching your videos and admire you both for taking the decision to live life in a van. It is so important that you and others have decided to vlog your lifestyle so everyone can see there are some tough hurdles to get over, and maybe it will show it isn't for everyone. The main thing was you got your heater sorted, and I loved that you could laugh at Brussels sprouts/onion/crisp sandwiches for Christmas dinner. Take care.
This happened to me once so I went out and bought a camping stove that works off the gas canisters, it’s brilliant and also can act as a heater to warm the van up in an emergency, for £20 you are sorted. Go outdoors have them in stock.
the other top tip with a gas canister espically with colder temperatures is to shake it up to reenergise the gas molecules. I am so sorry to watch the video, what a time for it to shut down on you :? thanks for sharing the hones side of uk van life
I stumbled across this video and just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed watching it - though i wanted to cry for you when christmas dinner went awry.. the fact you are both realistic and dont show everything as perfect made this for me. I wish you the best of luck and adventures in your van life. My suggestion is to go south for the winter to somewhere warmer so you dont have to suffer through all that bitter cold
You are making memories..you will often look back on this and smile..it may bring a tear to your eye, as you remember how passionate and young you once were..have a blessed new year🍾🥂🌹💑💜
Appreciate your honest representation of van life. It has helped me to conclude that I would not take on the $100,000+ that I would spend for a van conversion, the perils of breakdowns and repairs, water and gas worry, pursuit of overnight parking, and general crowded discomfort. I think I would be better off, keeping my house and planning several trips during the year, staying at various extended stay hotel chains that have kitchens. Although not vegetarian, I focus on healthy eating and easily could satisfy my requirements by taking my seasonings, an Instant Pot, and an electric frying pan. Best wishes for your continued adventures, which, of course, I will continue to follow.
Merry Christmas to you both. I hope you have an amazing Boxing day (or belated Christmas day). Well done for finding the funny side of things. It's never easy. We've been there ourselves a good few times over the years. It felt terrible at the time but we just laugh about it now & think about the memories we made & the experiences it gave us x
Its what Brits are good at 🤣 It's funny though Shelly isn't it, the more plans or expectations we have the more things go wrong - there's a message in there. Happy Christmas anyway
The thing I have always loved about van life is the way most full timers help each other out as when the van is your home it can be very stressful when things go wrong , you seem a lovely young couple 💑
happy to have found you guys..loved the three videos Ive just watched..got a lump in my throat when you got upset and how hard you tried to keep it in..I wish you both all great things in 2022 x
Aww I really feel for you both; you seem to have had one problem after another. Keeping warm is a must at this time of year, so at least your van is now cosy again. Hope you get to have your big Christmas meal as soon as you get gas. It could be worse; like having to work and not enjoying each others company. All the best for happier vanlife in the very near future. Merry Christmas to you both X
Merry Christmas Paul, we thanked what blessings we have and that's why we didn't let it get to us any further. Bit of whiskey and chocolate, and today we are on a mission to get it all sorted 👍
I am turning into a bit of a Vegan myself , I no longer like the texture of meat. And live off soups with a soup maker . French Onion. Lentil carrot and coriander , Broccoli and Stilton , Mushroom etc , we then reheat it transfer it into a food flask and have it with a sandwich 🥪 or toasty it’s quite sufficient in the Caravan .
Glad to see you have heat again , as a truck driver who sleeps in a vehicle all week I Know how painful it is with no heat ! I spotted you parked Near Cirencester the other morning as I legged it north for another load . Keep the faith it will all work out and as a caravaner who has got caught out with no gas always carry 2bottles cos they never run out at a convenient time . Keep the videos coming and merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you John, haha wow we thought we were pretty stealth down that road in Cirencester 🤣 - we liked that spot and will probably be back Unfortunately we have no space for any more gas bottles, but we do have room for a little camping gas cooker...on the list for this week 🤣 Happy Christmas John 🚐❄️
You are correct , we have two large calor gas heaters Flogas it’s cheaper £32 a bottle we bought the bottles second hand we went for 2 for £20 and cos we ate Senior Citizens he let us have the 4 for £20 . So we always replace the bottles when they run out , in our 2 caravans we always have a Calor and a Flogas in each full. So we have a fan heater for £10 in the caravans and just take hot water bottles to bed on a night we are fine with that but may put bubble wrap on the windows in winter.
These are the stories we look back and laugh about! I remember one christmas the electricity went off and our neighbours burglar alarm was going off for hours ... It was hellish but funny in a dysfunctional way. PS I'm Irish and Tayto sambos were gourmet food in our house growing up and my husband used to eat sugar sambos as a child ... Yum!
Lovely chilled vid. We have been to Castlerigg Circle so many times but never experienced Solstace there. It was so nice to see people enjoying the day/night.
Thank goodness you are vegan and could salvage what was in the pan! I hope the new diesel heater is better quality. Everything is an opportunity to learn. Best of luck from Kentucky, US. If you need perspective, I'm just 20 miles from tornado devastation--seeing homes destroyed really is an eye-opener. We are feeling very lucky.
Oh my days, I so wanted to reach through the screen and give you both a hug 🤗..... what a few days you've had! The upside was that, as you say, it was just a Christmas dinner; you are still in the van, with each other and Christmas can happen whenever you're ready. Have a fantastic Boxing Day. Best wishes ☺️
Just Oh WOW!! By The God's Guy's.. I was watching most of this episode holding my breath.. Talk about suspense... ( Be Gone Oh Buggered Heater & Never darken our Door Again!!! ) Liam's Dad is Is Lovely.. & What a Gent is Warren, :) I was so chuffed for you the moment the new theatre started working.. Yay Crimbo in the Van :) Total Happy Day's... Oh Super Nice Drone footage :) Just OMG!!! Shakes Head!! Want to give Janine the biggest Hug... I felt so sad for you guys.. You needs a little bbq or butane cooker just for emergencies .. Tomorrow will be a better day.. Sending much love & Yule blessings. Stay warm n safe.. Mx
Liam / Jan , I cant believe that after all the stress of the van heater you ended up running out of gas for your cooker , and am only 55 minutes away from there no I've got no gas but you could have come to our house and cooked your food at our home xxxx . I just love the way you stick shoulder to shoulder and take it all in your stride
I feel your pain, I’m living in my van and I’ve also run out of gas recently (mine also works the heater) thankfully I was lucky I’d just cooked my meal! It taught me I either need another gas bottle or a back up cooker. Vanlife is so rewarding but also tough at times. Love you guys my fav vegan couple 😊💕
Reminds me of 1977 when my dad was a fireman on strike. No Christmas dinner, just sausages and beans with baked potatoes cooked in the metal bin outside the fire station. Second time was coming off of a 14hr Christmas Day hospital shift and my husband had forgotten to take the meat out of the freezer.... too tired to actually care! Mince pies and baileys were delicious that night!
You really are having a tough time and through it all you managed to put a vlog out. Amazing work ethic. Take care and hope you enjoy the rest of the holidays. You have each other which is the best gift of all.
That's very kind of you to notice! We were up until 2am waiting for it to upload this morning 💚 We really wanted to get a video out on time still, and pleased we did. Hope you are having a great & warm Christmas 🎄 💚
Well I just want to say you guys are amazing. How you dealt with diesel van situations and Liam how you put a positive spin in negative circumstance is truly inspirational. I've just started watching you guys, I'm looking forward to seeing more 😀 Happy New year 🎉
Awwwwww ;D Love how lovingly supportive and positive you both are with each other . That sarnie and your good humoured response to it gave me the giggles ;D))) and of course you could not think of anyone else you would rather eat a sprout and crisp sarnie Christmas dinner with than each other , This was a realistic view into van life and shows true spirit of best friends sticking together and having a few tears and a laugh ;D when the poop hits the fan . This content kept me on the edge of my seat . Hugs ;D and WELL DONE guys, must admit , no one ever leaves my home without piles of food , surprized you weren't packed off with loads a grub from your lovely parents and family
God bless liam for fitting you in. I just love him. He's got a heart of gold. Why don't you just buy something else, just to get you through? Like a mr.buddy heater, or sumthin. Glad you made the best of the situation. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Awwwww guys!!! I cried and laughed along with you both this episode. Never has your theme song been so apt! I just wanted to hug you both. I hope you enjoyed a beautiful vegan vanlife Christmas dinner today! Wishing you all the best (and better luck!) for 2022. Xxx
This video was made from the heart. It shows the bond you guys have and you should be so proud of yourselves how you have dealt with the ongoing problems. You are a credit to other van lifers and despite the tears, you will laugh about this in year to come. I sincerely wish you both a very happy and successful new year and look forward to you sharing your adventures with the rest of us. Take care, but most of all, but happy with each other.
December 4 2022: I so love this video with the night walk thru the quaint town. My goodness the donuts look so scrumptious, but loaded with sugar. You both are very active and I know these will not budge at all your dietary needs😊. This video reminded me of my tour in Germany in the US Army. I was stationed there twice. First in Frankfurt than Stuttgart. As a child my Dad was also in the military and we lived in the American housing in Mannheim. Christmas was always so magically there. But I miss the quaint shops in the little towns. Appreciate your time and sorry for the horrid heater concerns.
I've seen in other peoples channels that those heaters cause massive problems and couple people,e found that the wee wires inside the main heater box were fried! changed them and all was well. of course after the exhaust, filters are replaced as well. good luck. I'd be getting g a micro wood stove and instal a pipe chimney
you have each other and your health that is the main thing i would trade my dinner ,sometimes life is just crap , head down keep going stay strong at the end of the day you have each other value that , i actually prefer boxing day dinner way more relaxed ,wishing you lots of peace,health and warmth
@@ThoseHappyDays just keep positive we have the best outcome when we keep that mental positivity going it can be hard but you got this ps i love my hot water bottle , 2 years ago a week before christmas my boiler crashed we had no hot water , no heat we remained that way for 4 weeks our housing association is well not very good christmas day presents included things like bath bombs somebody even brought me a tea towel with all the fav herbs on it , , the first bath i had with bath bomb was the best bath ever lol just being able to wash up without boiling a kettle was wonderful , when you get your gas dinner will taste the best ever wishing you all the best ps loving the episodes keep me going watching you guys having fun take care
I think you need to avoid that area like the plague. Loving your videos. My husband and I hope to go to the UK in June and are thinking of hiring a motor home to travel around, so watching all your travels have been really helpful, I am 61, and he is 66, so we need a bit of comfort & more importantly, a loo on hand.
hiya guys,years ago i was homeless for about 6 months i saw winter and christmas day homeless,i can remember having biscuits for christmas dinner...love you videos x
Iv been living in vans caravans busses and trucks for 30 years, I got one thing to say, a wood burner is the number 1 most important thing in a living vehicle
Good to see some plant based van lifers kicking it in a transit in U.K. Hope you got all the issues sorted and it’s all onwards and upwards now. (New subscriber) All the best, giz a shout if your ever over this part of the world.
OMG. . I feel soooooo guilty now. Just watched your video and you was parked just behind me at Mam Tor. I done a massive pot of stew and would gladly share with you both. Pluss my gas bottle is full and I would have let you use it if needed to and you could have. . Just watched you leave then I saw this video. If u don't find any gas let me know. I'm in the white campervan. Bobby's Box
We saw your van as we left and wondered if it might have been an option had we known! But don't feel guilty, it was all unprecedented. Would have been nice to say hello though...Next time? Will know who you are now Icy this morning wasn't it, we have had to go on hunt for gas ❄️Happy Christmas Bobby's Box 🚐
Just came across your video, I understand the problems you guys are going through. I recently purchased a van for about 10k had nothing but issues with the engine....I haven't even been away in it yet and have to spend nearly 2k getting it nearly right. Really got me down and felt like jacking the van life in even before it got started. I am on my own at the moment so had nobody to share the problems with which just amplified the issues I was having. Hopefully things are looking up, had the mot done today and passed with no advisories. You seem a strong lovely couple and with people who are fortunate enough to have that, everything else is not such a big problem. Best wishes David.
You could have kept warm by heating a brick on the gas stove. Then you'd have had to think about recharging the gas bottle. It worked for my family of 4 in a VW camper van in the snow covered Sierra Nevada. The brick can get red hot without exploding unlike a stone. we left a window slightly open to avoid getting drained of oxygen. It was very effective..
Happy Christmas to you both - thank you for sharing this and thanks for the speedy job on the edit! So pleased you got your heater sorted but gutted that you ran out of gas. Not sure of you could fit a small Safefill bottle in your van - with these bottles they're refillable and you can see how much gas is left. Fingers crossed you managed to get some gas today.
Thanks David, and thanks for noticing the effort to get video uploaded in time. Good shout about the gas gauge, we are looking into it! we hope you are having a warm and relaxing Christmas break 😊
Oh God guys I will tell you how good and raw this video was because I watched it before turning off to go to sleep and as a mum with kids your age I worried about you both to the extent I wished you were in Kent so you could stay in our warm spare room. You really show it how it is very professional. That bloody heater!!! Hope all's ok now bless you. That brussel sprout roll looked nice! Take care. xx
Just remember though it may not have been the first van Christmas you were expecting it will definitely be one you never forget and will look back and laugh one day!
OMG! What an emotional roller coaster! My heart broke for you when you ran out of gas! 😥 Bless you. You had Xmas day in the van, not how you quite planned!! but at least you are still smiling! You have what’s important… Each Other! Happy Christmas guys! Hope you have managed to enjoy your Xmas dinner today! 💖 x x
Well I’m glad you finally got the heater to work. I was going to turn up with a job lot of hot water bottles. So sorry Christmas dinner didn’t go to plan but you’ll talk about that for years and there are plenty more Christmas days where you’ll have a fantastic time. I wish you both a very happy new year and it’s going to be a great one for you both.
Great video guys, boy do I feel for you both. We've only just got our first campervan and been following you for a few days. The irony is we have been to the exact spot today (boxing day) where you stayed for Christmas day ☺ a day earlier and we could have helped you cook your Christmas Dinner. Keep up the fantastic work and my wife and myself look forward to watching your journey unfold. Merry Christmas 🎄 & all the very best for the new year xx
@@ThoseHappyDays Hi you two. Hope your still nice and warm 🤞. The peaks are beautiful Castleton is one of our favourite spots but there's so much to see all around. Just a thought on heat 🤔 have you thought of buying a portable butane gas heater that works off an aerosol canister (about £26 on amazon) might help out in an emergency situation through the winter if your heater plays up again. 🔥🤗
Oh dear. Well the heater is working. Also, and most important, you have each other. Still it was painful seeing Janine cry. I'm looking forward to your next video.
Aaah! Bless you both. Never mind,you will look back on this and it will make you laugh,cuddle up together,happy Christmas both,you are a great couple. Xxxxx
Hats of to you both for making the best out of a bad situation 👍 really hope you get our big Christmas dinner today. Thanks for sharing love your videos they are so up lifting even when things don't always go right. Look forward to seeing you both tucking into your best Christmas dinner to date. All the best for 2022🍻
Aww bless you both. Really felt for you. Never mind. Christmas Day is overrated anyway. At least your heat is finally sorted. Enjoy Boxing Day. Looking forward to spending the rest of the year watching you both xx
Thank you Claire, means a lot. And do you know what, apart from a few Christmas's abroad we were fortunate enough to spend, we have had a good few crap Christmas's here in the UK, like we are cursed or something haha Looking forward to eating all this food today when we find some food 😋
You two are just the sweetest and most real. I was so sad to see that your Christmas dinner didn’t go as planned. There is a gadget that lets you see your level of propane in the tank. Maybe look into getting one of those. Love you both.
Been watching a few of your blogs, watched this one tonight. I think your mad as a box of frogs lol.. Living in a small transit through winter and beyond. Lovely couple, interesting and fun, wish you all the best 👍
So hope you have gas now and can enjoy Boxing day , give us a shout if not we are close by and have camping stoves you could have. Take care and happy travels x
Well I worried ( about that heater), I laughed and I cried all in one video. Sprout sandwiches for Xmas dinner is not ideal but at least you had something to eat. I wish you a fantastic new year, onward and upward
Thank you Lynby, we were going to make sort of Christmas Dinner bowl, with all the trimmings...ah well, today hopefully! Although we have had quite a bit of snow. Let's see what happens. Happy Christmas 🎄
I really enjoyed this video which illustrated how, it's not always sunshine & easy times. I'm new to van life and this shows exactly why expectations can turn out completely opposite. You two wonderful people handled it very well, and I am very grateful to you for showing us some reality. An inspiration to me; The courage to carry on when one thing after another goes wrong, requires more than just putting your money down; Inner strength and the refusal to give in, are just as important when learning how to live a new life., even when sometimes you don't win.
Van life is exactly this isn't it Thomas, Life is exactly this in fact 🙏 We wish you well on your adventure and hope to bump into you one day on the road
If the battery you run the heater off is too low in power the heater will stop so the battery doesn't run down too low. The other problem could be the control for the heater if fitted too close the heat of the heater, has the control is also the thermostate and will switch off because the thermostate signaling the heater to turn off.
Thank you Joe, we used to just start the heater up on its own, now (thanks to comments like yours) we have the van engine on for all heater startups 🙏🚐
Just started watching your channel. Love it, so well made and gripping drama. I know the story of the diesel heater and the gas have been tough for you but if it's any consolation it's been a dramatic watch !!!! Hope your both have a great Christmas and New year
Merry Christmas guys! Gutted for you! But I hope you are having a wonderful Boxing Day!! And I’m sure it’ll end up being even better after that set back !! 🎄❤️
@@ThoseHappyDays you will manage !! I’m sending the positive vibes!! There is bound to E stuff open as it’s crazy sale day ! 🤞🏼if it’s any small consolation me and my little one are having our Xmas day today too… just think of it as making a new tradition! Ha
Omg just discovered your channel. My heard breaks for you. No what’s it’s like to have things go wrong continually. It will only get better. A crisp sandwich is thebest. Take care . Your enthusiasm has just filled me with oy. Happy new year x. Hope to see you on the road someday
I am so inspired by your van life videos. I have recently got my van named ‘Heidi’ and hoping to do the NC 500 next year! I would just like to make you both feel a little reassured that you were not the only ones plagued by the Xmas grinch. My family have had an Xmas disaster with COVID. My mum kindly gave us Xmas doggy bags but it has been a very sobering Xmas. We have tried to make the best of a bad situation aswell. I am so pleased you got your diesel heater sorted! I am also a paramedic and the mechanics are excellent! X
Ah yeah, the cursed covid has gotten everywhere this year hasn't it. But just think about that Scottish road trip you will be taking in Heidi, its such a brilliant thing to do 🙏🚐
Good for Liam for going all out to help you. Just found your channel and wish you both well. I was relieved that you got a hotel room to give you some respite from the van problems. Better days ahead. Live the dream.
Ah no!!!! So sorry about your Christmas plans. Glad you saw some humour in it in the end but I could have cried for you both. Life certainly likes to pull the rug out sometimes! I hope your New Years Eve was better x
Last Christmas, my oven broke down, just as guests arrived for Christmas Eve. It meant not only could I not cook for guests, I also couldn’t cook my Christmas Goose for the family. Sometimes, we all get bad luck. I know you had the diesel heater issue as well. I think it’s just teething problems. Perhaps you can get some gauge to prevent the surprise of no gas happening again. Great channel though. Thank you!
Oh no. Your luck must improve soon. I hope you manage to get a Christmas dinner eventually, and may your New Year and the whole of 2022 be your best ever x
Been following you now for a few weeks and catching up on older content sometimes the realisation of circumstances can be a real insight and drama which adds to your channel 😀
We just show it how it is 🙈 If things are going wrong then it will be in the video, if things are going right it will be there too. We want to give accurate portrayal of living on the road full time 🤙
Merry Christmas.. I always have a butane burner and some spare canister’s in the cupboard just in case gas runs out..At least you got the heater sorted..Your video’s have kept me going while my van is being repaired.. looking forward to the next one..
Thanks Tommy, unfortunately we don't have the space. That said, we can get emergency smaller backups of things...like a camping stove! Happy travels and best wishes for your journey ahead 🚐❄️
Hi! My first time watching. I'm so sorry your plans didn't work out. You worked so hard to make them happen. But years down the road you will laugh at the memory and the experience and how you got through it with laughter and tears and each other. Here's to a very Happy New Years' celebration!

What a wonderful Christmas story for years to come. You are with someone you love on Christmas day, how lucky you are.

And I think you are right, with 3 diesel heaters now, it's a pain in the backside.
We are on the hunt from today for a camping stove as we are actually struggling to find gas. We have found a hot drink though
We count our blessings each day, and can't wait to look back and laugh at all this.

Thanks David, and that is exactly what we will do 🙏🚐
Unfortunately very naive. Living in Scotland even in house we have a back up plan
Make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm for peace of mind.
A great idea...can you get the little one pound cannisters in the UK? A few of those as spares can make all the difference.
the other top tip with a gas canister espically with colder temperatures is to shake it up to reenergise the gas molecules. I am so sorry to watch the video, what a time for it to shut down on you :? thanks for sharing the hones side of uk van life

Appreciate your honest representation of van life. It has helped me to conclude that I would not take on the $100,000+ that I would spend for a van conversion, the perils of breakdowns and repairs, water and gas worry, pursuit of overnight parking, and general crowded discomfort.
I think I would be better off, keeping my house and planning several trips during the year, staying at various extended stay hotel chains that have kitchens. Although not vegetarian, I focus on healthy eating and easily could satisfy my requirements by taking my seasonings, an Instant Pot, and an electric frying pan.
Best wishes for your continued adventures, which, of course, I will continue to follow.
Each to their own Sandra 💚

Merry Christmas Paul, we thanked what blessings we have and that's why we didn't let it get to us any further. Bit of whiskey and chocolate, and today we are on a mission to get it all sorted 👍
I am turning into a bit of a Vegan myself , I no longer like the texture of meat. And live off soups with a soup maker . French Onion. Lentil carrot and coriander , Broccoli and Stilton , Mushroom etc , we then reheat it transfer it into a food flask and have it with a sandwich 🥪 or toasty it’s quite sufficient in the Caravan .
Could cry for you. Hope things Improve

Keep the videos coming and merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you John, haha wow we thought we were pretty stealth down that road in Cirencester 🤣 - we liked that spot and will probably be back
Unfortunately we have no space for any more gas bottles, but we do have room for a little camping gas cooker...on the list for this week 🤣
Happy Christmas John 🚐❄️
I live in my van in the netherlands.
I have two litle campingaz bottles whit a regulator just for changing
The bottle
You are correct , we have two large calor gas heaters Flogas it’s cheaper £32 a bottle we bought the bottles second hand we went for 2 for £20 and cos we ate Senior Citizens he let us have the 4 for £20 . So we always replace the bottles when they run out , in our 2 caravans we always have a Calor and a Flogas in each full. So we have a fan heater for £10 in the caravans and just take hot water bottles to bed on a night we are fine with that but may put bubble wrap on the windows in winter.
These are the stories we look back and laugh about! I remember one christmas the electricity went off and our neighbours burglar alarm was going off for hours ... It was hellish but funny in a dysfunctional way. PS I'm Irish and Tayto sambos were gourmet food in our house growing up and my husband used to eat sugar sambos as a child ... Yum!
Haha yes I am sure we will, thanks for watching/commenting 💚
Lovely chilled vid. We have been to Castlerigg Circle so many times but never experienced Solstace there. It was so nice to see people enjoying the day/night.
Thank goodness you are vegan and could salvage what was in the pan! I hope the new diesel heater is better quality. Everything is an opportunity to learn. Best of luck from Kentucky, US. If you need perspective, I'm just 20 miles from tornado devastation--seeing homes destroyed really is an eye-opener. We are feeling very lucky.
Sadie, we were so sorry to see that devastation, and it really puts it into perspective and we count our blessings each day ❤️
Oh my days, I so wanted to reach through the screen and give you both a hug 🤗..... what a few days you've had!
The upside was that, as you say, it was just a Christmas dinner; you are still in the van, with each other and Christmas can happen whenever you're ready.
Have a fantastic Boxing Day. Best wishes ☺️
It was a right ol journey! Thank you for watching and commenting 💚 Hope you enjoyed your Christmas break 🚐🙂
Just Oh WOW!! By The God's Guy's.. I was watching most of this episode holding my breath.. Talk about suspense... ( Be Gone Oh Buggered Heater & Never darken our Door Again!!! ) Liam's Dad is Is Lovely.. & What a Gent is Warren, :) I was so chuffed for you the moment the new theatre started working.. Yay Crimbo in the Van :) Total Happy Day's... Oh Super Nice Drone footage :) Just OMG!!! Shakes Head!! Want to give Janine the biggest Hug... I felt so sad for you guys.. You needs a little bbq or butane cooker just for emergencies .. Tomorrow will be a better day.. Sending much love & Yule blessings. Stay warm n safe.. Mx
Thank you Melody, and Happy Christmas 🎄 We are on the hunt today for a camping stove as we can't find gas 😭 That Christmas food will be cooked 💚
Liam / Jan , I cant believe that after all the stress of the van heater you ended up running out of gas for your cooker , and am only 55 minutes away from there no I've got no gas but you could have come to our house and cooked your food at our home xxxx . I just love the way you stick shoulder to shoulder and take it all in your stride
I feel your pain, I’m living in my van and I’ve also run out of gas recently (mine also works the heater) thankfully I was lucky I’d just cooked my meal! It taught me I either need another gas bottle or a back up cooker. Vanlife is so rewarding but also tough at times.
Love you guys my fav vegan couple 😊💕
It's so frustrating isn't it...pleased to hear it's not just us 😫
Reminds me of 1977 when my dad was a fireman on strike. No Christmas dinner, just sausages and beans with baked potatoes cooked in the metal bin outside the fire station.
Second time was coming off of a 14hr Christmas Day hospital shift and my husband had forgotten to take the meat out of the freezer.... too tired to actually care! Mince pies and baileys were delicious that night!
You really are having a tough time and through it all you managed to put a vlog out. Amazing work ethic. Take care and hope you enjoy the rest of the holidays. You have each other which is the best gift of all.
That's very kind of you to notice! We were up until 2am waiting for it to upload this morning 💚 We really wanted to get a video out on time still, and pleased we did. Hope you are having a great & warm Christmas 🎄 💚
Well I just want to say you guys are amazing. How you dealt with diesel van situations and Liam how you put a positive spin in negative circumstance is truly inspirational. I've just started watching you guys, I'm looking forward to seeing more 😀 Happy New year 🎉
Awwwwww ;D Love how lovingly supportive and positive you both are with each other . That sarnie and your good humoured response to it gave me the giggles ;D))) and of course you could not think of anyone else you would rather eat a sprout and crisp sarnie Christmas dinner with than each other ,
This was a realistic view into van life and shows true spirit of best friends sticking together and having a few tears and a laugh ;D when the poop hits the fan .
This content kept me on the edge of my seat . Hugs ;D and WELL DONE guys, must admit , no one ever leaves my home without piles of food , surprized you weren't packed off with loads a grub from your lovely parents and family
Thank you ✨️
God bless liam for fitting you in. I just love him. He's got a heart of gold. Why don't you just buy something else, just to get you through? Like a mr.buddy heater, or sumthin.
Glad you made the best of the situation. Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Looking into all this as we speak! Yeah love Liam 💚🚐
Awwwww guys!!! I cried and laughed along with you both this episode. Never has your theme song been so apt! I just wanted to hug you both. I hope you enjoyed a beautiful vegan vanlife Christmas dinner today! Wishing you all the best (and better luck!) for 2022. Xxx
Thank you Kate, you kindness is much appreciated 😊 Hope you are having a great & warm Christmas 🎄 💚
This video was made from the heart. It shows the bond you guys have and you should be so proud of yourselves how you have dealt with the ongoing problems. You are a credit to other van lifers and despite the tears, you will laugh about this in year to come. I sincerely wish you both a very happy and successful new year and look forward to you sharing your adventures with the rest of us. Take care, but most of all, but happy with each other.
Thank you, that means a lot ❤️ we hope you are having a warm and relaxing Christmas break 😊
I really felt for you both 😭 what a week you've had. You'll look back and laugh at this. Here's to warmer weather and some great memories 💚
This was actually the first video I ever watched. This video actually was a suggestion beside a wills whereabouts video been hooked ever since
December 4 2022: I so love this video with the night walk thru the quaint town. My goodness the donuts look so scrumptious, but loaded with sugar. You both are very active and I know these will not budge at all your dietary needs😊. This video reminded me of my tour in Germany in the US Army. I was stationed there twice. First in Frankfurt than Stuttgart. As a child my Dad was also in the military and we lived in the American housing in Mannheim. Christmas was always so magically there. But I miss the quaint shops in the little towns. Appreciate your time and sorry for the horrid heater concerns.
Hi just watched some of your blogs and really enjoying them, really felt for you both when the gas went.👍👍👍👍👍
I've seen in other peoples channels that those heaters cause massive problems and couple people,e found that the wee wires inside the main heater box were fried! changed them and all was well. of course after the exhaust, filters are replaced as well. good luck. I'd be getting g a micro wood stove and instal a pipe chimney
Thank you, we would love a wood burner 🔥 bit late now though unfortunately
you have each other and your health that is the main thing i would trade my dinner ,sometimes life is just crap , head down keep going stay strong at the end of the day you have each other value that , i actually prefer boxing day dinner way more relaxed ,wishing you lots of peace,health and warmth
Love the optimism...and you are right, Christmas Day can be a bit stressful! If we find gas today we will be happy 🚐💚
@@ThoseHappyDays just keep positive we have the best outcome when we keep that mental positivity going it can be hard but you got this ps i love my hot water bottle , 2 years ago a week before christmas my boiler crashed we had no hot water , no heat we remained that way for 4 weeks our housing association is well not very good christmas day presents included things like bath bombs somebody even brought me a tea towel with all the fav herbs on it , , the first bath i had with bath bomb was the best bath ever lol just being able to wash up without boiling a kettle was wonderful , when you get your gas dinner will taste the best ever wishing you all the best ps loving the episodes keep me going watching you guys having fun take care
I think you need to avoid that area like the plague. Loving your videos. My husband and I hope to go to the UK in June and are thinking of hiring a motor home to travel around, so watching all your travels have been really helpful, I am 61, and he is 66, so we need a bit of comfort & more importantly, a loo on hand.
Haha we started to think maybe it was Castleton that was cursed and not us 🤣
hiya guys,years ago i was homeless for about 6 months i saw winter and christmas day homeless,i can remember having biscuits for christmas dinner...love you videos x
Iv been living in vans caravans busses and trucks for 30 years, I got one thing to say, a wood burner is the number 1 most important thing in a living vehicle
Thank you Lisa, it's definitely something we are thinking about 💚
you still got each other and i envy you wish some better luck
Thank you 🙏🚐
Good to see some plant based van lifers kicking it in a transit in U.K. Hope you got all the issues sorted and it’s all onwards and upwards now. (New subscriber) All the best, giz a shout if your ever over this part of the world.
Thanks so much, that's very kind 😊
When we appreciate the little things, we appreciate almost everything.
Agreed 💯
OMG. . I feel soooooo guilty now. Just watched your video and you was parked just behind me at Mam Tor. I done a massive pot of stew and would gladly share with you both. Pluss my gas bottle is full and I would have let you use it if needed to and you could have. . Just watched you leave then I saw this video. If u don't find any gas let me know. I'm in the white campervan. Bobby's Box
We saw your van as we left and wondered if it might have been an option had we known!
But don't feel guilty, it was all unprecedented. Would have been nice to say hello though...Next time? Will know who you are now
Icy this morning wasn't it, we have had to go on hunt for gas ❄️Happy Christmas Bobby's Box 🚐
OK well are you stopping in this Area if u don't find gas just let me know and you can borrow my bottle 4 cooking 2day / night x
Just came across your video, I understand the problems you guys are going through. I recently purchased a van for about 10k
had nothing but issues with the engine....I haven't even been away in it yet and have to spend nearly 2k getting it nearly right.
Really got me down and felt like jacking the van life in even before it got started. I am on my own at the moment so had nobody to share the problems with which just amplified the issues I was having. Hopefully things are looking up, had the mot done today and passed with no advisories. You seem a strong lovely couple and with people who are fortunate enough to have that, everything else is not such a big problem. Best wishes David.
Persist David, you may have been through the worst so keep going 👍
You could have kept warm by heating a brick on the gas stove. Then you'd have had to think about recharging the gas bottle. It worked for my family of 4 in a VW camper van in the snow covered Sierra Nevada. The brick can get red hot without exploding unlike a stone. we left a window slightly open to avoid getting drained of oxygen. It was very effective..
Ah yeah, I have similarly heard something with terracotta pots and candle lights...Good for an emergency 🚐🙏
It's the best Christmas you never forget it... It's perfect...
Agreed we will never forget it haha
Happy Christmas to you both - thank you for sharing this and thanks for the speedy job on the edit! So pleased you got your heater sorted but gutted that you ran out of gas. Not sure of you could fit a small Safefill bottle in your van - with these bottles they're refillable and you can see how much gas is left. Fingers crossed you managed to get some gas today.
Thanks David, and thanks for noticing the effort to get video uploaded in time.
Good shout about the gas gauge, we are looking into it! we hope you are having a warm and relaxing Christmas break 😊
Oh God guys I will tell you how good and raw this video was because I watched it before turning off to go to sleep and as a mum with kids your age I worried about you both to the extent I wished you were in Kent so you could stay in our warm spare room. You really show it how it is very professional. That bloody heater!!! Hope all's ok now bless you. That brussel sprout roll looked nice! Take care. xx
Thank you Tina, don't worry we are better prepared for next time 🤣😭🚐
Just remember though it may not have been the first van Christmas you were expecting it will definitely be one you never forget and will look back and laugh one day!
Very true Amber 👍
OMG! What an emotional roller coaster! My heart broke for you when you ran out of gas! 😥 Bless you. You had Xmas day in the van, not how you quite planned!! but at least you are still smiling! You have what’s important… Each Other! Happy Christmas guys! Hope you have managed to enjoy your Xmas dinner today! 💖 x x
That's so true Tracey, you count your blessings at Christmas 🎄 And we did just that. We hope you are having a lovely Christmas break 😊
Happy Boxing Day. Good times and warmer weather are just around the corner.
Our new mantra 👆👆👆
Well I’m glad you finally got the heater to work. I was going to turn up with a job lot of hot water bottles.
So sorry Christmas dinner didn’t go to plan but you’ll talk about that for years and there are plenty more Christmas days where you’ll have a fantastic time.
I wish you both a very happy new year and it’s going to be a great one for you both.
Thank you 😊 and that's a kind gesture. Here's to the new year eh 🙏
Great video guys, boy do I feel for you both. We've only just got our first campervan and been following you for a few days. The irony is we have been to the exact spot today (boxing day) where you stayed for Christmas day ☺ a day earlier and we could have helped you cook your Christmas Dinner.
Keep up the fantastic work and my wife and myself look forward to watching your journey unfold.
Merry Christmas 🎄 & all the very best for the new year xx
Thank you Barry, and to your wife 💚 How lovely is the Peaks eh? we hope you are having a warm and relaxing Christmas break 😊
@@ThoseHappyDays Hi you two. Hope your still nice and warm 🤞. The peaks are beautiful Castleton is one of our favourite spots but there's so much to see all around.
Just a thought on heat 🤔 have you thought of buying a portable butane gas heater that works off an aerosol canister (about £26 on amazon) might help out in an emergency situation through the winter if your heater plays up again.
🔥🤗
Oh dear. Well the heater is working. Also, and most important, you have each other. Still it was painful seeing Janine cry. I'm looking forward to your next video.
Thank you Debra, we hope you are having a warm and relaxing Christmas break 😊
Merry Christmas guys! Despite all your issues I hope you managed to enjoy your Christmas xx
We are getting there haha thank you 😊Hope you are having a great & warm Christmas 🎄 💚
Great video. Thinking of you here in hot Saigon. Belated merry Christmas
I bet its lush there now Kieron! Happy Christmas mate 🚐🙏
Watched wills whereabouts he's got error ten on his Chinese heater again ,what a night ,great videos guys enjoy your freedom 🌲🌲🌲
Ah no, not again! I know where he is coming from poor lad 😭😔
Aaah! Bless you both. Never mind,you will look back on this and it will make you laugh,cuddle up together,happy Christmas both,you are a great couple. Xxxxx
So true 👍 we hope you are having a warm and relaxing Christmas break 😊
Hats of to you both for making the best out of a bad situation 👍 really hope you get our big Christmas dinner today. Thanks for sharing love your videos they are so up lifting even when things don't always go right. Look forward to seeing you both tucking into your best Christmas dinner to date. All the best for 2022🍻
Thank you Susan 💚 We try to be thankful for what we do have. Happy Christmas 🎄
Just watched to the end bless your hearts what top people you are I really hope all your dreams for 2022 come true you really are special 👍
Hi. I feel in love with the Peak district when my ex-husband introduced me to cyce touring. A time of happiness
Very much like the frost photography, the aerial photography,and the visit to the Peak District. Like your food content.thanks. Happy Christmas!
Thank you Jan, and happy Christmas 🎄
So open en honest vids, wish you the best of happiness!
Thank you Robert 😊
Aww bless you both. Really felt for you. Never mind. Christmas Day is overrated anyway. At least your heat is finally sorted. Enjoy Boxing Day. Looking forward to spending the rest of the year watching you both xx
Thank you Claire, means a lot. And do you know what, apart from a few Christmas's abroad we were fortunate enough to spend, we have had a good few crap Christmas's here in the UK, like we are cursed or something haha
Looking forward to eating all this food today when we find some food 😋
You two are just the sweetest and most real. I was so sad to see that your Christmas dinner didn’t go as planned. There is a gadget that lets you see your level of propane in the tank. Maybe look into getting one of those. Love you both.
💚💚💚
Been watching a few of your blogs, watched this one tonight. I think your mad as a box of frogs lol.. Living in a small transit through winter and beyond. Lovely couple, interesting and fun, wish you all the best 👍
Thanks Gary, will take that as a compliment (I think 🤣)
So hope you have gas now and can enjoy Boxing day , give us a shout if not we are close by and have camping stoves you could have. Take care and happy travels x
Thank you Jane, that's very kind 🙏🙏 Have a lovely Christmas break
Well I worried ( about that heater), I laughed and I cried all in one video. Sprout sandwiches for Xmas dinner is not ideal but at least you had something to eat. I wish you a fantastic new year, onward and upward
Thank you Lynby, we were going to make sort of Christmas Dinner bowl, with all the trimmings...ah well, today hopefully! Although we have had quite a bit of snow. Let's see what happens. Happy Christmas 🎄
Get yourself a camping gas stove the canister type as a backup.
On the hunt for one as we speak
thank you for sharing how amazing plant kitchen has got from a 'sparkle' based high street store :)
If anyone can get through this it is you two.
New year will be so much better
Thank you for the vote of confidence Geraldine 🙏🚐
I really enjoyed this video which illustrated how, it's not always sunshine & easy times. I'm new to van life and this shows exactly why expectations can turn out completely opposite. You two wonderful people handled it very well, and I am very grateful to you for showing us some reality. An inspiration to me; The courage to carry on when one thing after another goes wrong, requires more than just putting your money down; Inner strength and the refusal to give in, are just as important when learning how to live a new life., even when sometimes you don't win.
Van life is exactly this isn't it Thomas, Life is exactly this in fact 🙏 We wish you well on your adventure and hope to bump into you one day on the road
Hi from Rhodes Greece.I have just found your channel. Hope this year finds you with great luck, health and prosperity.
Hugs and kisses 😘 Debbie
If the battery you run the heater off is too low in power the heater will stop so the battery doesn't run down too low. The other problem could be the control for the heater if fitted too close the heat of the heater, has the control is also the thermostate and will switch off because the thermostate signaling the heater to turn off.
Thank you Joe, we used to just start the heater up on its own, now (thanks to comments like yours) we have the van engine on for all heater startups 🙏🚐
Just started watching your channel. Love it, so well made and gripping drama. I know the story of the diesel heater and the gas have been tough for you but if it's any consolation it's been a dramatic watch !!!! Hope your both have a great Christmas and New year
I think the fact you tell a story makes your channel stand out
Thank you so much, 💓 that means a lot. Happy New Year
Bless you both. Gutted for you when the gas ran out. You made the best of it x
Thank you Carol, happy new year 🎉
@@ThoseHappyDays Happy New Year both 🎉
No! Out of gas??!! Omg...my heart is breaking for you. What frustrations you've been faced with. May 2022 be a complete turn around for you.
Thank you, appreciate it 🙏 💚
Guys I'm crying here (you will never run out of gas again we have narrow boat did it once lesson learnt!!!!)x
Exactly Jennifer, its a one-off 😭🤣🚐
The both of you are a sweet couple ,,i hope you get this taken care of .
Merry Christmas guys! Gutted for you! But I hope you are having a wonderful Boxing Day!! And I’m sure it’ll end up being even better after that set back !! 🎄❤️
Happy Christmas Kat, yeah we are looking forward to having our Xmas Dinner today when we find gas 🤣
@@ThoseHappyDays you will manage !! I’m sending the positive vibes!! There is bound to E stuff open as it’s crazy sale day ! 🤞🏼if it’s any small consolation me and my little one are having our Xmas day today too… just think of it as making a new tradition! Ha
Lifes too short advocated using bubble wrap on the windows to combat condensation. Their vlog gives outcomes. Merry xmas!
Thanks Robert, yes love those guys thank you 😊
Hope you have a Happy New Year with love, joy,Peace,safety and No More Van Problems!
Thank you Jacqueline, and to you too 😘
Omg just discovered your channel. My heard breaks for you. No what’s it’s like to have things go wrong continually. It will only get better. A crisp sandwich is thebest. Take care . Your enthusiasm has just filled me with oy. Happy new year x. Hope to see you on the road someday
Thank you Ros, hope you had a lovely Christmas break 🙂🎄
you could get a back up butane camping heater as long as you are aware about having ventilation when in use
I think we are going with a camping stove, if we can find one. Apparently there is a national shortage 😔
I am so inspired by your van life videos. I have recently got my van named ‘Heidi’ and hoping to do the NC 500 next year! I would just like to make you both feel a little reassured that you were not the only ones plagued by the Xmas grinch. My family have had an Xmas disaster with COVID. My mum kindly gave us Xmas doggy bags but it has been a very sobering Xmas. We have tried to make the best of a bad situation aswell. I am so pleased you got your diesel heater sorted! I am also a paramedic and the mechanics are excellent! X
Ah yeah, the cursed covid has gotten everywhere this year hasn't it. But just think about that Scottish road trip you will be taking in Heidi, its such a brilliant thing to do 🙏🚐
My apologies to you have a nice new year.
Good for Liam for going all out to help you. Just found your channel and wish you both well. I was relieved that you got a hotel room to give you some respite from the van problems. Better days ahead. Live the dream.
Thank you Mary 💚
Ah no!!!! So sorry about your Christmas plans. Glad you saw some humour in it in the end but I could have cried for you both. Life certainly likes to pull the rug out sometimes! I hope your New Years Eve was better x
Last Christmas, my oven broke down, just as guests arrived for Christmas Eve. It meant not only could I not cook for guests, I also couldn’t cook my Christmas Goose for the family. Sometimes, we all get bad luck. I know you had the diesel heater issue as well. I think it’s just teething problems. Perhaps you can get some gauge to prevent the surprise of no gas happening again. Great channel though. Thank you!
Thanks Lee, hoping we are getting steadily more equipped for nasty surprises now. Happy New Year💚
I am in Fairbanks Alaska and in my Honda Oddessey and using the vans front and rear heater. Works like a Champion :) Miles Cobbett, Author
Thanks Miles! Sounds like a hell of a trip
Oh no. Your luck must improve soon. I hope you manage to get a Christmas dinner eventually, and may your New Year and the whole of 2022 be your best ever x
Thank you Lorraine 😊
I felt for you both right at the end of the video what bad luck I hope you have a great rest of the week and enjoy what’s left of the festive period.
Thank you Nicky, we are persevering 😣 Have a great Christmas 🎄
Awww, I feel so sad😥 for you. AT least you had each other♡♡for 🎄 Christmas.💘
I felt for you! Wishing you both continued warmth, and good vibes going into next year. 🙂x
Thank you Jacky, we hope you are having a warm and relaxing Christmas break 😊
It’s definitely a memory, the Christmas we ate brussel sprout rolls.
Haha never again
So that’s real van life! Made me cry too
Very real haha
Oh gosh I was praying. Bless you what a fantastic channel you got. Happy New a year. To you both 🌹
Thank you Sharron 💚🚐
Been following you now for a few weeks and catching up on older content sometimes the realisation of circumstances can be a real insight and drama which adds to your channel 😀
We just show it how it is 🙈 If things are going wrong then it will be in the video, if things are going right it will be there too. We want to give accurate portrayal of living on the road full time 🤙
You can get a gauge to put on your gas pipe to tell you how much gas you've got in your bottle.
By God we need that! Where from please
@@ThoseHappyDays Amazon sell them. Search for gas bottle regulator with pressure gauge.
Merry Christmas.. I always have a butane burner and some spare canister’s in the cupboard just in case gas runs out..At least you got the heater sorted..Your video’s have kept me going while my van is being repaired.. looking forward to the next one..
Thanks Tommy, unfortunately we don't have the space. That said, we can get emergency smaller backups of things...like a camping stove! Happy travels and best wishes for your journey ahead 🚐❄️
Hats off guys showing the realistic ups and downs, Good luck on your future travels subbed
Thank you for subscribing 💚🚐
Hi! My first time watching. I'm so sorry your plans didn't work out. You worked so hard to make them happen. But years down the road you will laugh at the memory and the experience and how you got through it with laughter and tears and each other. Here's to a very Happy New Years' celebration!
Thank you, I agree. Happy New Years to you too 🚐🙏
