    What a fantastic episode. A death and moving house, two of the most stressful things you will have to deal with but you came through with flying colours. You fell on your feet with that last park up which proves someone is watching over you. Glad the heater is fixed. Really appreciate the work you put into your videos, top quality from a beautiful couple. Well done 👍❤️

      You are right, so much good stuff happening along the way. With every day after the move it has felt like a huge weight has been lifted off our backs, we are back in that wonderful campervan life flow, where everything just sort of works out because you are free 💚

You filmed the beautiful trees in all their glory and coped amazingly together with the problems that arose with the van and park up. You manage to keep calm and positive where others would crumble including me. I'm a little sad about your caravan home but I know you are definitely doing the right thing. Can't wait for the next one but get a very good rest now and have some cosy time together. Lots of love guys. xxxx
