I thought you might like some more background on why there are defibrillators in phone boxes in the uk. It’s because the locations are already central to villages, already undercover and protected, unused, and already connected to power! Defibrillators only need trickle charge once charged, so BT actually provides power to these locations free of charge as a charitable donation. All you have to do is ‘adopt’ a phone box and get a defibrillator (usually a community effort). BT will keep it running and gift the space! Kind of cool :) So here for the Canada series, my favourite place in the world. Happy Christmas guys :)
That is really cool re defibrillators and of course readily available to the public in the event that they are needed! Merry Christmas and Have a Happy New Year! We have something called Public Access Defibrillator Program with Apps to tell you where they are but honestly, they are available all over the place…malls, golf course, gyms and fitness centres, ski hills, and private homes as well! I still like your experience of having them in the telephone boxes!
Don’t give up on the banter it’s just good fun, the content you put up and the van builds are brilliant, keep up the good work , your channel really makes my Saturday morning.
Oi Oi ❤ How you two haven't got over 500K by now is beyond me! Your channel has all the food groups, Travel, Food, Tools (John mainly 😂) Comedy and just pure Joy. I always enjoy your Saturday morning vids. Lee
I know i thought it was Monday again without the sunshine, skies are grey as fook in the UK, you ain't missing much, looking forward to the Clear blues
Watching you two is so refreshing. The sort of people I love to spend time with, down to earth and naturally funny together. Really enjoying your adventures.
How nice it is to watch a couple that actually are prepared for a cold weather trip. You are a lovely breath of fresh air . Enjoy the breathtaking scenery and the locals great video. Lets share these videos these guys deserve to get to 100k subs
My best Xmas present. I was teaching my step son to ride motor bikes around our local quarry. I had a dog of a Honda XL185, so I brought a rough old Yamaha DT125 for my step son around October time and kept it a secret at my dad’s. Over the next months I re built it, sprayed it, re covered the seat and got new chino plastic for it. It looked mint. On Xmas day we went to mum and dads for dinner and popped to the toilet, but really went and dragged the DT out. We told my step son to get some cards out of our car and he just casually walked past the bike, never said a word. When we told him it was his he nearly collapsed. Best present ever was seeing his face. Happy Xmas 🌨️🌨️
Favourite Christmas present - a Black and Decker electric drill, when I was 10 years old in 1976. My folks were religious so naturally we went to chapel on Christmas Day to the service, and as kids you were allowed to take a present along. The kids were invited to the front of the chapel to show off their gifts, and imagine how proud I was with my drill. I distinctly remember being stood next to one of my cousins who was 11, and feeling so superior as I had an electric drill, not a kids toy. I still have the drill, not that it gets used any more, but it’s priceless to me. I now have a tool collection to rival John’s, and something must be subliminally telling me to hoard drills, as I have so many now I don’t actually know how many I have. 😀
By far my favourite TH-camrs.. fantastic video footage, John definitely has a crude sense of humour. 😂 I think you’re fantastic and I’m all ready looking forward to the next video. Stay safe ❤
Glad to see you enjoying Home Depot, reminds me of B&Q back home. So funny when Jess became concerned about Jon's piece re thankful of our women, I'm still laughing. Nice to see the kilt out again. Perhaps it needs a revival, you are in New Scotland after all 😉. Fave Xmas present Sindy car and horse from the 70's. Have fun guys 🤍💛💙
my favourite xmas prezzie was from my wife this year , i suffered a heart attack 2 months ago an while i was in hospital , i managed to bugger up my ipad , so bless her she got me a new one, merry xmas to you both and everyone else watching , also have a great new year
Just watched the vlog. What a wonderful place that is. Re Christmas presents I'm a 63 year old lady but my best pressie was a series 1 Raleigh Chopper in the 70s, wish I still had it! ❤
That was a hilarious video 😊 We can’t wait for the next one. Since we are preparing for our Arctic trip in our DIY campervan, can you tell us about the shoes, and jacket and other clothing for those cold conditions. Maybe you could make a small item about it. Greets from The Netherlands 🇳🇱 Sjoerd & Claudia
Merry Christmas to the nicest couple I know ❤ I’m stoked about your trip to Canada and so grateful you’ve taken us all along with you. This video series feels more personal and relaxed. Your camerawork is fantastic and you both look happy and excited about your trip. Spat my tea out over the morning glory buns…😂 My best present ever was a metal detector ( I know…sad geek alert). Ooohhh I’m all excited for you. And you thanked me first! I’m so touched guys. Love ya both tonnes ❤🫂
Ah thanks very much that’s so kind, I’d love a metal detector too, when the farmer ploughs his field I’d like to go out hunting as apparently there’s meant to be some lost jewels round by us 💙
What a fantastic first journey into the brave new world. Epic landscapes, stunning scenery, magnificently captured and narrated to perfection. Thankyou for being you 😊
Belated Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas! I’m very jealous of your adventures, and can see you’re having a great time! A Christmas without concussion for once Jon!! You guys are great, and your videos on a Saturday morning make my weekend! Keep up the superb work! 👍🏻
Glad you’re on your way! With regard to pick up trucks with snow plough blades - having lived in Alaska, many people buy the blades for their trucks to plough the access roads they live down, where the municipal ploughs don’t go. They then would plough wherever they were driving to as well, just out of kindness 😊
OMG!! 🤣 Skegnessians 🤣at 1:24 and I just knew I was in for an absolute treat of a watch. Thanks for a real blast that literally had me laughing out loud 😂😂😂
In Minnesota, the Department of Transportation runs an annual contest where residents come up with names for the big orange snowplows. My personal favorites are Plowy McPlowface. Other winners have been Betty Whiteout and Ctrl Salt Delete.
We have this in Scotland as well, if you go to the Transport Scotland website you can get real time tracking of all the gritters/ploughs, some brilliant names! Double Snow 7 Spready Mercury Gritney Spears Skid Viscous Sled Zepplin The list goes on 😂
Lovely video guys, love the scenery such a beautiful place to be. Looking forward to seeing more videos in 2025, where more laughter will be shared. Just want to wish you both a very Happy New Year and see you next time😊😊
Absoulty beautiful location to start with stay safe. Look forward to the next adventure in Canada. Lastly when Jon asked alexia to turn off the lights my house went into darkness 😂
Pretty daring to visit Canada in winter living in a van. I applaud you. Enjoying your adventure can't wait to see what you are up to next, it's a beautiful country to explore. I live here and still find new experiences every year.
I'm from Finland and I think the biggest reason we don't use utes for clearing snow is just that we don't have as many of those as in North America. They are also lighter than lorries so they would be less usefull when there is a lot of snow. What you didn't mention is that we use a lot of regular farm tractors for smaller/city streets and pedestrian areas. That is probably also because they are very common and much more useful to us than utes.
That’s true, was just something we noticed that was different, of course they do have the big trucks and tractors here but lots and lots of the utes with ploughs too
It was so fun to see you guys here in Halifax Jess and Jon! You are now absolutely Official Maritimers! LOL Krista has caught me watching this episode and now I have to rewind! Giggle! Have a wonderful trip and enjoy our wonderful country! Hugs to you both!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both. Meant to say on one of your other videos with regards to condensation etc, if you ever find yourselves in a bit of a bind, cheap tights and crystalized cat litter, works just as well as the pingi de-humidifier pads and can double as a draught excluder.
Jon's going to luv this one. My favourite Christmas present was a red cantiliver metal toolbox for me to separate all my tools for doing car engine reconditioning with a mate. Plus putting an 1100 engine in an 850 Mini from 1963.
Yay!! Saturday & Canada🥳🥳 I love your "rude" banter & to anyone who doesn't 🤬😂😂 Another brilliant vlog with a bit of everything in it. I also love the wildlife....what man doesn't like looking for a bald eagle or wild beaver?😉 I'm subscribed to Mr Hewes & he (& his crew) do some amazing & crazy things. I'm also subscribed to JP Lameroux (think I've spelt that right🤔) He & his mrs & dog do campervan travels, but he's also into wildlife & survival skills, so a mixture of everything thrown in. Anyway, so far, so good on your travels. Looks like you had a great Christmas. Did I hear you say its Jons birthday?🤔 If so, Happy Birthday & Merry Christmas. Hope you enjoyed your Morning Glory Muffin Jon & it was Mmmmm😂😂 Merry Christmas to everyone & Happy New Year🥳🥳🍾🥂🍻
@@truebluetravellers Aw it's a pleasure watching you. Thanks for taking us on your adventures & making the videos, which are just brilliant. It's not just the banter between you both, but some of the scenery you show is just stunning.
You've only seen a very minute bit of Canada. Our snow clearing vehicles are legendary. Actually I was suprised that the pick up trucks were used to clear snow in Nova Scotia. If you have time, please take the road to Tuktoyuktuck in the North West Teritories ( it's a long trip but one that will never be forgotten ).
Great vlog as usual guys, best Christmas present was a full set of Chipperfield circus animals wagons, trucks, fencing, big top from cogi, 1960, I'm now 74,wish I still had it now worth a mint 😢😢,you have to keep your innuendos, in your storyline John it would not be the same without them 😂😂😂 have a great time there, and happy new year from foggy Kent, ❤
Thanks for all the great content, guys. Here's a few bob to buy more of those morning glory muffins. Honestly, your double-entendres are getting worse. I have something in common with Jon, I haven't been in a supermarket for years. And Jon, I think you've got a penchant for wearing jess's clothes😂
Favourite Christmas gift, wasn’t really a gift. Getting my lurcher on Christmas Eve 12 years ago. She’s still with us and as been the best dog ever. Safe travels. All the best for your future. 👍👍🚐😎🏴
Cracking video as always, great to start Saturday with a chuckle, but something that doesn't get mentioned enough, the quality of your filming, editing and general prowess as filmmakers, over the last two years has developed to a standard that's on a par with the professionals, well done on the brilliant content, so looking forward to the rest of your time in Canada, and many more adventures to come. Happy New Year / Bonne Annee to you both.
My best Christmas Pressie was in 1983 🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫 A Raleigh Tuff Burner BMX bike with the yellow Skyway mags. I thought I’d got all my presents when suddenly I found a massive wrapped object hidden behind the sofa. It was my BMX! 🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫 I bloody loved that bike! 🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫
Johns morning glory and beaver watching 😮looks like an amazing start to your journey some spectacular scenery have a great time and I’ll see you next Saturday Happy New Year
Hello BOTH!! I so enjoy al the content of the video, it's so funny (with those comments of double meanings) with great laughter and fun. The views of the countryside, along with the information about the area is educational. My favourite Christmas gift memory is when I was very young I received a three-wheel cycle with a "bread bin" carrier on the back, wore it out through constant use! What I appreciate is the way that you involve the viewer(s) and make it all interesting! "Happy Christmas" and many more video's for the coming new year! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
My favourite Christmas present was a 41 piece A/F, Metric and Whitworth 1/2” drive socket set. Still got it 40 years later and I still use it on my old Brit bike
What a lovely Sunday treat! Merry Christmas to you and thank you for showing the world how beautiful Nova Scotia is! And you’re just getting started. You’ll find Canadians across the country are just as nice as the maritimers you’ve met thus far. Happy New Year to you both!
Looks beautiful there with the snow. Living in Vietnam has its benefits, but all year heat with the lowest temp of 8c in 20 years, I must say I do miss winter and snow. Have a lovely time guys. 🚐
Yay, Happy Christmas to you both & Happy Birthday Jon. Brilliant adventures so far can’t wait for more. Those morning glory muffins although nice, big and moist, I’d imagine they’re time consuming to get through when you’ve a day of adventures to get on with…. Best saved for a lazy Sunday at home?!? 🤣☺️😜 You have yourselves a great week, Happy New year 🎉xxxx
The Canadians appear to be such a welcoming and friendly lot. Hats off to them. General Jess your planning skills are off the charts. Coupled with Captain Jon Sparrow (man up with the rum 😂) you make the best travel vlogging couple on TH-cam. Love the content, and your camera work and filming keeps on getting better and better. Stay safe, stay warm, stay funny. Stay trueblue
Yes we will even watch you, watching birds!!! ❤ We were trying to speculate which direction you would drive…. We were totally wrong!! Beautiful scenery!! You had us giggling Jon!!The year I turned 13 I was given an old manual Toyota truck with the promise that I had to drive backwards wherever I went on the farm, for a whole year! My dad was a firm believer in girls learning to drive stick and that not enough people know how to back up properly with your mirrors 😂I loved that Christmas gift!!
Looks like you pair are having a blast in Canada it looks amazing. Keep the videos coming please you two make our Saturday. Happy Christmas and a happy new year
What stunning scenery, its only day 1 and I'm jealous already. Johnny I thought I was alone in the world, but I'm not someone else's thoughts like mine and start off at a gutter level. 🤣😂 👍
Jon at his innuendo best this week! Looks like you two have picked up that winter travel once again. Fun and safe travels! Can't wait for all the adventures.
Brilliant video as always and simply stunning scenery!! Yst you finally bought the heated vest/jacket. John cannot do food and normal shopping but give him a home Depot or Lowe's and he will spend the whole day in them!! Merry Christmas to both of you too!! Thank you for all the laughs in the video and thanks for all of the words of support over the past year too as they have kept me going. Hope all is well, take care of yourselves. Also wishing both of you a happy and healthy 2025
The reason why so many old BT phone boxes have defibrillators or AEDs is that the box needs a 240v supply, BT will often gift the box and maintain the minimal cost of electricity rather than pay contractors to remove them. They are also very easy to spot, which let’s face it if someone needs jump starting the last thing you need is to be wandering around looking here there and everywhere
You two are just priceless and you have just done a beautiful job of presenting our province of Nova Scotia in Winter! Heck, we haven’t been to a few of the places you have visited! Cape Split is gorgeous in the snow….and Merry Christmas to you both! I can’t wait to see where you go next!!!!! Cripes, I didn’t know it was your Birthday Jon! Hope you had an awesome day!
Congratulations on getting through your first bit of the Maritimes. Thank you for showing parts of Canada we have not managed to get to over the past 55 years together. Can appreciate the Monte Python humour. If you are looking for snowy winter, don’t bother with Newfoundland. Hardly any snow and the ferry keeps getting cancelled due to the storms over the past 6 weeks. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Oh the look on John's face when he had a little sip of rum Mmmmmmmmmmmm That was a great first Canadian post, thank you and Happy New Year. Take care ❄☃❤
Another great video guys loving the scenery I thought you were a bit tame with the tools Jon well done.Jon Mustang Doooh no hope Jess take it easy getting in the van mind your shins. Looking forward to the next one stay safe guys.
I got an offroader when I was about 11, it was some sort of custom home built job, similar wheel base to a mini, quad wheels/tires on the back and smaller front tires, a 400cc motorbike engine in the back, was brilliant, spent hours and hours driving that thing around the farm.
Yaaay, that extraction in the snow was en pointe, go Sainsbo 💪🏼👏👏 Lmao I don’t find it rude as I grew up in male dominated sports and motor worlds, so love the bants and innuendo, in fact spot the opportunities just as Jon spouts his banter 🤣🤣 Happy birthday Jon, and happy Christmas to you both, my favourite present (it took many birthday and Christmas wishes to get there) was also a pony, Burlington Bertie of Bow was black with a white star just as I’d wished for 😍 My younger brother who died this year, got one later but wasn’t as interested, so Sixpence became mine too, double bubble 🥰
Best thing ever on a Ssturday morning, tea and toast in bed watching the latest "True Blue Travellers" vlog. Happy New Year and safe travels across 🇨🇦. You're so funny 😂 I could watch you two every day ❤ (GaryinSpain)
I thought you might like some more background on why there are defibrillators in phone boxes in the uk.
It’s because the locations are already central to villages, already undercover and protected, unused, and already connected to power!
Defibrillators only need trickle charge once charged, so BT actually provides power to these locations free of charge as a charitable donation.
All you have to do is ‘adopt’ a phone box and get a defibrillator (usually a community effort). BT will keep it running and gift the space!
Kind of cool :)
So here for the Canada series, my favourite place in the world. Happy Christmas guys :)
Thanks for the information, love little facts like this 👍👍👍
That is a brilliant bit of kit :)
That is really cool re defibrillators and of course readily available to the public in the event that they are needed! Merry Christmas and Have a Happy New Year! We have something called Public Access Defibrillator Program with Apps to tell you where they are but honestly, they are available all over the place…malls, golf course, gyms and fitness centres, ski hills, and private homes as well! I still like your experience of having them in the telephone boxes!
Never worry about the PC police, you two are hilarious. Please never change. Its so refreshing

Snow,scenery and morning glory muffins absolutely living the dream guy's thanks for another great show

Favourite Christmas gift, wasn’t really a gift. Getting my lurcher on Christmas Eve 12 years ago. She’s still with us and as been the best dog ever. Safe travels. All the best for your future. 👍👍🚐😎🏴
BEST GIFT EVER 🤩 love all dogs but really love lurchers, unpopular opinion but I think old dogs are as cute as puppies 🥰
Mr Hewes is one of my favourites......after TBT, I want a Foden!
😂😂 thanks mate
Cracking video as always, great to start Saturday with a chuckle, but something that doesn't get mentioned enough, the quality of your filming, editing and general prowess as filmmakers, over the last two years has developed to a standard that's on a par with the professionals, well done on the brilliant content, so looking forward to the rest of your time in Canada, and many more adventures to come. Happy New Year / Bonne Annee to you both.
That’s such a lovely compliment thank you, we are always trying to do better 💙 happy new year to you too 💙
thx for these beatifull views and the fun that both of you are giving us especially with that muffing

A Raleigh Tuff Burner BMX bike with the yellow Skyway mags.
I thought I’d got all my presents when suddenly I found a massive wrapped object hidden behind the sofa. It was my BMX!

Happy New Year
😂😂😂 thanks mate
Hello BOTH!! I so enjoy al the content of the video, it's so funny (with those comments of double meanings) with great laughter and fun. The views of the countryside, along with the information about the area is educational. My favourite Christmas gift memory is when I was very young I received a three-wheel cycle with a "bread bin" carrier on the back, wore it out through constant use! What I appreciate is the way that you involve the viewer(s) and make it all interesting! "Happy Christmas" and many more video's for the coming new year! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
Thanks so much John, your bike sounds like a little ripper 👌 so glad it made you laugh 💙
My favourite Christmas present was a 41 piece A/F, Metric and Whitworth 1/2” drive socket set. Still got it 40 years later and I still use it on my old Brit bike
👌👌 happy days, always come in handy them hey
Love your videos and the humour. The rude bits are so refreshing and natural !!
So glad you enjoy them thanks 💙
Absolutely loved the video. Loved it, so funny and yourceditingbis exceptional.
John's first drink of Rum.... haha brilliant. Mmmmm... lol
Finally catching up after work, taking a second to say that Jon in the kilt (skirt) on the hills reminded me of a quaker oats advert 😂
😂😂😂 too funny
What a lovely Sunday treat! Merry Christmas to you and thank you for showing the world how beautiful Nova Scotia is! And you’re just getting started. You’ll find Canadians across the country are just as nice as the maritimers you’ve met thus far. Happy New Year to you both!
Thanks very much mate 👍
Looks beautiful there with the snow. Living in Vietnam has its benefits, but all year heat with the lowest temp of 8c in 20 years, I must say I do miss winter and snow. Have a lovely time guys. 🚐
Yay, Happy Christmas to you both & Happy Birthday Jon. Brilliant adventures so far can’t wait for more. Those morning glory muffins although nice, big and moist, I’d imagine they’re time consuming to get through when you’ve a day of adventures to get on with…. Best saved for a lazy Sunday at home?!? 🤣☺️😜
You have yourselves a great week, Happy New year 🎉xxxx
😂😂😂😂😂 lucky speed I have in my favour
@@truebluetravellers😂😂😂 Jess, you lucky girl 😂😂😂 Don’t come a knocking if the Sainsbury’s vans a rocking! Give it 5 😉
The Canadians appear to be such a welcoming and friendly lot. Hats off to them. General Jess your planning skills are off the charts. Coupled with Captain Jon Sparrow (man up with the rum 😂) you make the best travel vlogging couple on TH-cam. Love the content, and your camera work and filming keeps on getting better and better. Stay safe, stay warm, stay funny. Stay trueblue
Honestly I think they definitely are the politest people we have ever met, such a lovely place, thanks very much 😊💙
Yes we will even watch you, watching birds!!! ❤ We were trying to speculate which direction you would drive…. We were totally wrong!! Beautiful scenery!! You had us giggling Jon!!The year I turned 13 I was given an old manual Toyota truck with the promise that I had to drive backwards wherever I went on the farm, for a whole year! My dad was a firm believer in girls learning to drive stick and that not enough people know how to back up properly with your mirrors 😂I loved that Christmas gift!!
Looks like you pair are having a blast in Canada it looks amazing.
Keep the videos coming please you two make our Saturday.
Happy Christmas and a happy new year
Thanks so much we are loving it so far 💙
What stunning scenery, its only day 1 and I'm jealous already. Johnny I thought I was alone in the world, but I'm not someone else's thoughts like mine and start off at a gutter level. 🤣😂 👍
Jon at his innuendo best this week! Looks like you two have picked up that winter travel once again. Fun and safe travels! Can't wait for all the adventures.
I think the word for this video is wow it’s so beautiful there ❤
Brilliant video as always and simply stunning scenery!! Yst you finally bought the heated vest/jacket. John cannot do food and normal shopping but give him a home Depot or Lowe's and he will spend the whole day in them!! Merry Christmas to both of you too!! Thank you for all the laughs in the video and thanks for all of the words of support over the past year too as they have kept me going. Hope all is well, take care of yourselves. Also wishing both of you a happy and healthy 2025
The reason why so many old BT phone boxes have defibrillators or AEDs is that the box needs a 240v supply, BT will often gift the box and maintain the minimal cost of electricity rather than pay contractors to remove them. They are also very easy to spot, which let’s face it if someone needs jump starting the last thing you need is to be wandering around looking here there and everywhere
Didn’t know that makes sense and interesting thanks 👍
You two are just priceless and you have just done a beautiful job of presenting our province of Nova Scotia in Winter! Heck, we haven’t been to a few of the places you have visited! Cape Split is gorgeous in the snow….and Merry Christmas to you both! I can’t wait to see where you go next!!!!! Cripes, I didn’t know it was your Birthday Jon! Hope you had an awesome day!
Great video, thanks for taking us along. you will enjoy the Mr Hewes vid's they are mad too. cheers
Amazing first video from Canada 🇨🇦. You’ve only just started and already epic views 😍
Never change John, sorry Jess. Love you both happy Christmas and health and happiness for 2025 x
😂😂😂😂 I’ll do my best, thanks very much 😊💙
Loving the videos guys and been showing my Hungarian mrs LOST aswell and she loves it 😂 keep up the great videos guys and enjoy the travels x
Congratulations on getting through your first bit of the Maritimes. Thank you for showing parts of Canada we have not managed to get to over the past 55 years together. Can appreciate the Monte Python humour. If you are looking for snowy winter, don’t bother with Newfoundland. Hardly any snow and the ferry keeps getting cancelled due to the storms over the past 6 weeks. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Great blog pleased to see you enjoying yourself Canada looks wonderful.
It really is! Thanks so much 💙
Oh the look on John's face when he had a little sip of rum Mmmmmmmmmmmm That was a great first Canadian post, thank you and Happy New Year. Take care ❄☃❤
😂😂😂😂 thanks very much, it certainly gave me a kick 💙
@@truebluetravellers LOL
If you like fresh made cakes, make sure you try the cinnamon rolls along the ALCAN Highway. Great video guys, best viewing on TH-cam.
Oh yes will definitely have to try them 😊👍💙
Another great video guys loving the scenery I thought you were a bit tame with the tools Jon well done.Jon Mustang Doooh no hope Jess take it easy getting in the van mind your shins. Looking forward to the next one stay safe guys.
Omg. You guys make me lol especially Jon (sorry Jess ) enjoy the cold and snow, know it well
😂😂😂 thanks Victoria 😊
You’re back and so am I. Happy travels
Thanks very much 😊👍
I got an offroader when I was about 11, it was some sort of custom home built job, similar wheel base to a mini, quad wheels/tires on the back and smaller front tires, a 400cc motorbike engine in the back, was brilliant, spent hours and hours driving that thing around the farm.
The best present ever that, and u had the land to enjoy it on too 👌
Keep the inuendos coming, hilarious. Happy new year.
Merry Christmas to Jess and Jon! I’m so looking forward to your travels and where you’re off to next! Just love your banter you fantastic two! 🎄🎅🏻🥰x
Ah thanks very much 😊💙
Belated happy Christmas guy's, John had me in stitches with the morning glory or a muffin pun 😂😂❤🍻
😂😂😂 thanks very much
Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you both. Really looking forward to this adventure with you.
I've been looking forward to this all week, you two never disappoint - absolutely brilliant. #morningglory 😉
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yaaay, that extraction in the snow was en pointe, go Sainsbo 💪🏼👏👏 Lmao I don’t find it rude as I grew up in male dominated sports and motor worlds, so love the bants and innuendo, in fact spot the opportunities just as Jon spouts his banter 🤣🤣
Happy birthday Jon, and happy Christmas to you both, my favourite present (it took many birthday and Christmas wishes to get there) was also a pony, Burlington Bertie of Bow was black with a white star just as I’d wished for 😍 My younger brother who died this year, got one later but wasn’t as interested, so Sixpence became mine too, double bubble 🥰
Best thing ever on a Ssturday morning, tea and toast in bed watching the latest "True Blue Travellers" vlog.
Happy New Year and safe travels across 🇨🇦.
You're so funny 😂 I could watch you two every day ❤
(GaryinSpain)
😂😂 thanks Gary, I hope your enjoying the sunshine mate 👍
Both dogs sitting crossed legged but I just had to watch ! Lovin it thanks
😂😂😂😂👍
