I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you. Back in May, my wife of 18 years suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. I found your vlog about two weeks later (by searching for Marmite steak, of all things). I was, and indeed did, face some dark times. However, watching you two enjoying life together has never failed to lighten my mood and bring a smile to my face. So, thank you both for having, what I believe is, a huge positive effect on my mental wellbeing.
So very sorry for your loss Neil, but I’m happy that you found our boys to help you when you’re feeling down. Take care of you & know that there are people here happy to chat at anytime.❤😊
You guys are absolutely fantastic, really admire your ability to just do anything! The van looks amazing, you should be so proud. Nick, I'd trust you to do absolutely anything in my house!! So talented. Hope you have amazing adventures in it, love you guys!
Great job on taking measurements Leigh! Nick will reward you later. You guys look so happy, just like Christmas morning! The wood top looks great. For the backsplash, maybe hexagon shaped plastic tiles?
the end got me right in the feels!! Even though I know you are there I was not expecting the blog to end like that, it put a massive smile on my face. I hope you are living your best lives in the happiest place on earth xx
I didn’t realize we were so close to your trip to Florida until the very end with that neat surprise reveal. The list of what is still to be done on the van sounds daunting, but as much as you have accomplished so far, I have no doubt that the end result will be a big success.
You guys got me there - I was NOT expecting that transition at the end and I just had tears falling down my face seeing how happy you were to be back in the best place on earth. You guys deserve that break after all the van build and to be sitting there dreaming and then suddenly there 🎉 what an ultimate dream to click your fingers and be there. Oh i can not WAIT for Friday now to watch pre travel day❤ adore you guys!! Your voices are my ultimate calming method ❤xxx
You could get your cupboard and drawer fronts covered in clear gloss PPF and that would maintain the colour, keep them nice and shiny, protect them from any water and make them easy to wipe clean. It will also give them protection from any scratches or knocks
😂😂 Loved that little click of the fingers and 'hey presto' your in Florida 😊 brilliant.. now I'm looking forward to seeing the vlogs. A huge well done on the build of your van kitchen, it's looking amazing with the worktop,absolutely superb 👏 I hope your having a great time away guys. Take care 💙💙 xx
What a tease that was lol.lm feeling all giddy about next vlog just like you were feeling giddy about waiting on your worktop .I must say how brilliant its looking what a talent to do something massive like that 👏 ❤❤
Best transition ever!! I knew you were eventually coming back to FL from IG but that snap was a total surprise that made me smile so much. Thanks for the clever ending (just shows you have to watch the videos alllll the way to the end!). Awesome job!
You’re doing brilliant with the van build ! It already looks fabulous! Can’t wait to see the finished product ❤️. That ending ! Fantastic! Looking forward to Florida vlogs yayy. Cheryl x
What The Heckkkkkk, you guys made me spit out my drink with the ending there, holy cow, talk about magic. No one deserves a holiday more than you guys right now, working soooooo very hard on the van, kick back & enjoy every minute me lovelies, Every Day is Best.❤❤😊
Hi,guys Taylor is looking amazing ,I was so engrossed listening to you's to talking about moana n epcot n when nick clicked his fingers n you was there by disney magic 😅 I was like YES!! 🎉🎉🎉
If you put a quarter round as your trim around the countertop it would block the water, cover the gap and give you enough room to use the screen for the window.
Congrats on all the progress you've made on van. We've enjoyed watching all the progress and look forward to all that’s to come. Loved that dose of Disney magic at the end 🪄 ✨️ ❤❤
I would consider putting a non-flamable material on the walls next to your cooktop. Also, you don't need a backsplash. Just put clear caulking along the back of the counter.
I’m glad you mentioned going to Bordeaux. We went there this year for 4 nights and loved it. It’s a fantastic mix of old and new. With van probably best parked not in centre, but try to find somewhere near to trams, which are excellent. There are places you can find to eat 3 course meals really well priced.
Love the ending. I knew you were in Florida from Facebook posts, but a great link. Hope you’re having a wonderful time. Can’t wait till we go next in May
That was a smashing ending. Well done on planning that one - magic (in more ways than one). Glad you took the trim off. We bought a new build bungalow in 1985 in Scotland and the kitchen cabinets had the wood trim on the textured formica doors - so swishy and modern for the 80s 😂😂😂. Your kitchen is fabulous - major achievement, well done. I saw somewhere instead of a blind for the window it was a “plug” that fitted tightly into the window recess. Made of thick furniture sponge and covered in black fabric.
I’m absolutely loving the van build guys,but travel day is coming and can’t wait to watch…am I the only one that gets excited watching them lol. I know you’ve been in Florida for a few weeks now…enjoy your hols. 😊
Love the whole van build. Totally enjoyed all of the decisions and problem solving. Only thing is Nicks hand is always so close to the sharp tools ! The shop with the Loungefly bags is Angela Bare and it's also good if you like shoes. Great independent shop and fab service with great prices, but I have ordered and can confirm.
Hi guys love your van vlogs. Regarding your future tours in Europe with Taylor I have been watching scenes of Bruges it looks so beautiful and if you tied it in with location shots of the film In Bruges it would make a great vlog. Southampton to Ostend ferry then drive to Bruges. I expect you are getting a lot of suggestions but one to consider it looks so nice. Plus chocolate 😉😊
Thanks for another vlog. The splashback is looking really nice against the new work top. Enjoy your holiday and hurry back as can't wait for more updates from the van and cosy winter nights from the lodge. X
Love you two and that u do more than Disney we are locals and have learned all sorts of new things to Do in Celebration and Kissimmee thanks to you guys! You can almost understand your Manchester accents now.😀
The green on the cupboard doors is more noticeable, when you first painted them it just looked grey. It's all coming together and looking very impressive.
Oh wow what an amazing ending. Even though I know you went it still shocked me. Absolutely loving watching these Van vlogs it’s taking over my evening TV. Cannot wait for another Disney vlog. X
That Ending was Fantastic, loved it 😃. I can t believe the progress you have made with Taylor. Multi talented or what. Its a huge effort but the results are incredible. Enjoy Florida. 😊😊😊
Loved the ending ...... felt like I had been surprised with a holiday lol!! We have just come back from florida but we didn't do disney this time!! If you get a chance to do Rock springs kayaking do it!! We did one in clear kayaks with a tour guide (get up and go kayaking) and the tour guide was the same lady that took Jane Mcdonald on her tour if you seen the florida series she did!! Was Brilliant!
We’ve loved the van vlogs , as caravaners ourselves we’ve been fascinated , but there’s one thing that worried us I hope you don’t mind us mentioning it , we really worry about the gas hob next to the wallpaper , in our caravan there’s heat resistant glass between the hob and the nearest surface , we would hate for anything unfortunate happening after all your hard work .
Loved the ending. The wife discovered you both earlier this year via the Bazza's who she has watched for a while. Problem is we now want to visit Florida again but have already been this year.
Hi Guy's, you have both done a fabulous job on the van. You are going to have the best adventures together . Love the special ending & looking forward to your video's of Florida . Take Care ❤ X X
I don't know if u r going to Paris in end of July to beginning of August that's when it's going to be crazy with a lot of people being the summer Olympics. U van looks so awesome can't wait for the finished product
Great ending guys! Made me smile, I think that the splashback in the van looks fine, also I think it has the effect of making the grey look more greeny grey than bluey grey, Hubby and I both agree that you made the right choice about not using the decorative strip, as Leigh says , it looks more modern without. We're very impressed to see what you've achieved on your very first van conversion (I'm thinking that you might be tempted to do another, now that you have gained all that knowledge)
I love the worktop its going to look lovely when its done. I love your vlogs & the end where you were suddenly in Florida was magical. I can't wait for the new Florida vlogs ❤❤
Wow. What a creative and fabulous ending to this vlog. I think your window solution will look just fine. I don't know what the insert that came with your window looks like. But any chance of milling some of the bottom away to make it fit?
Loving the van build, have you thought about doing a trip round west coast of scotland. Beautiful place and great for van lifers. Lots of apps too that have park up info on.
Vans looking nice. When you do your big road trip next year in France when you’re coming back up through to Brittany take a little detour on route and visit Le Puy De Fou it is a fantastic attraction to visit. Looking forward to seeing Orlando vlogs, albeit you are probaly back home now working on the van again 😂😂😂🤪😜
I love the tile splash back I hope you decided to keep it breaks it up a bit especially with the black appliances, yea didn’t like the wood strip! Looks amazing though! Loved the ending!!!
Yay 😀!! Can’t wait for some more Florida vlogs so I can live vicariously through you two ❤ I could really do with some of that Florida heat 🥵 as it’s getting cold and dark here….. Hope you’re having the best time xx
I can't imagine how you guys managed to do all of those van videos without mentioning the trip! I knew you were in Florida from Instagram, but I just thought maybe you did a last minute trip. Cracked me up! 😂

So sorry to hear of your loss Neil. Glad we can help in a small way ❤️
Please take care of yourself.I agree the lodge guys are the best.
So sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear this, I lost my son and my daughter has the same illness and these vlogs gives me a lift and help me on a daily basis. Mega hugs xx

Keep up the great work. Your v blogs are awesome!

It will also give them protection from any scratches or knocks
It's eggshell so is soft sheen and protected so we can wipe them clean
😂😂 Loved that little click of the fingers and 'hey presto' your in Florida 😊 brilliant.. now I'm looking forward to seeing the vlogs.
