Started watching you last year. Stumbled on this old video that explained a lot for my curiosities (hope I said that correctly). Thank you🚘
I love that you see your granny often in her final years.
I only just got to view this & as lovely as it is to hear you guys answering the questions...just watching those kids playing outside with the ball in the background is sooooo sweet. Also seeing you both by your old van seems strange now you have Morgan. so glad you got your bed sorted !!!
There's nothing like a coffee in a cozy cafe.....especially in winter! Janine's one pot meals look delicious 😋
You are such a well-defined couple...lots of love and respect between each other!
Hello folks, good answers to some great questions. You two are beautiful people so we hope you do have some kids one day as the world needs more people with the get up and go attitude that you have. The UK is spectacular and we are lucky enough to have seen a lot of it but there is always more to see. Stay safe and enjoy the winter that is on it’s way. Winter is one of my favourite times of the year but my Carol is a sun bunny. We look forward to the day our paths finally cross. I think it’s bound to happen at some point. 😁👍
Your words are too kind, thank you 😊 We are always on the look out for the little red camper or the sound of a coffee grinder 😅 Look forward to our paths crossing at some point 🙏🙌
Thank you for the video and being so honest. Looking forward to your Autumn series. Hope you enjoy the remainder of your travels. 😇 🙏🏻
Always honest. Thank you, will keep you posted 💚
A pair of kind souls. A very decent channel and wish u both lots of success
Thank you Pete 💚
What a great video. And the best thing is that I got the answers to questions about the two of you, that I would NEVER have the nerve to ask. 😇😇😇
Haha good, hope we answered them as well as we could 😉
I love your spirit and openness, please keep being you
Thank you Ben, the ultimate compliment to us 🙌💚
Is very refreshing to see how honest you both are, nice that is easy to ve vegan in Uk, here in Finland is difficult even to be vegetarian, but improving. 💚💚
Thanks Esther, yes the UK is great for Plant Based Food 👍
Thanks lovely video get your thermals ready for winter !!! Hope its a dry mild winter for your travels x😀
Haha same! Thank you for watching 💕
Autumn colour and scenery, the Trossachs area in Scotland is stunning!! Just take some blue sky and sunshine with you. However rain creates the most incredible waterfalls!
It's sounds like a brilliant place, whatever the weather 😀
You answered some amazing questions.
Well done both of you .
Thank yoy
Excellent vanlife Q&A vlog and it sounds like Janine & Liam are having fun doing Vanlife. Love 🥰 your video's and love 💕💞Janine & Liam. Have a good remaining Sunday and week.
You too David, thanks for tuning in 🙏💚
Very informative, thank you. Inspires us to want to travel around.
Fantastic!! Hope you are all well 💚
You answered the questions really well not sure I would have done

Stewart
Thanks Stewart, we wanted to be honest and transparent 🙏
I really enjoy your video's and I am jealous of your life style, please do continue as you are a life without the hassles of every day living you really are an inspiration.
Thank you 🙏💚
I always wondered about the cost of van so thanks for information, glad you both love it, definitely makes for fantastic viewing 😍👌
Hope we answered it best we could
The boat ride is awesome!🛶
Yeah it’s really coming on now can’t wait for Liams update. 👏👏
💚
pleased you are staying in the uk for Autumn and winter and experiencing van life at that time , not many others show this (actually cant think of any).....cant wait to see the Vlogs i am actually excited. x
Thanks Jane, got to stick it out haven't we haha
@@ThoseHappyDays yep me in my boat and you in your van
@@janecox4173 looking forward to it
Another brilliant video. Thank you for answering all those nosy questions 😉 Have you been to Northumberland yet? We used to live there and I can honestly say I have always felt ‘honoured’ to have been given the opportunity to live in that wonderful county. Got everything you love. Mountains, forests and beaches, not forgetting the amazing history. Much love to you both 💕💕
You know what, that sounds brilliant 👏 Can you recommend anywhere in particular in Northumberland? 💚
We used to live in a little village named Ulgham. There’s Alnwick, Bamburgh, Amble, Warkworth, Druridge Bay, Rothbury, Seahouses, Kielder forest, Cragside (National Trust). Drive up the coast to Lindisfarne.
@@ThoseHappyDays Craster is a lovely wee village (there is a large car park) walk into the village then follow the signs for the coastal walk to Dunstanburgh castle.
Can you park overnight or for more than one day?
Yes, you’re able to park your vehicle overnight in most of our ncp car parks, but please refer to the opening times of the specific car park using our find a car park feature. Some of the car parks are not open 24 hours a day, so keep in mind that once the car park closes, you’ll not be able to access your vehicle until the car park reopens the following day.
Btw the soya milk at Lidl. And soya milk at Tesco in carton, are equally nice. Lidl especially.
Only recently found your channel and I am really enjoying it.
Thank you 💚
Next time you are in Stratford Upon Avon you should try The Music Cafe. The menu is 100% plant based and the food is amazing!
Looking forward to seeing where Autumn takes you x
Oooo we will!!! Especially on your recommendation 💚
Awwwww you two bounce of each so well 😊😊✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
💚💚💚
Ahhhh my home town of Stratford-Upon-Avon. Suprised not to have seen you at the Campervan and Overlander show here at the racecourse just gone by. Was an awesome weekend. Looking forward to following your Autumn and Winter adventures in the UK and maybe we'll bump into you on the road or in town someday :)
Hey Kirsty, had no idea it was on 😔 Love Stratford. I hope we do bump into each other at some point 💚
@@ThoseHappyDays I think they have it twice a year, July and Sept, so keep an eye out for next years.
I saw the sad news on the community, my condolences to you both and your family, sorry for your loss ♡
@@kirstyashforth9397 thank you ❤
❤ My Favourite way to spend my lazy Sunday mornings with you guys 😊 It was great to learn about your plans for the future. I cant wait for you to share all your travels with us. I have a feeling that it's going to be epic 😁 ( I can just see travelling around places like Sweden or Austria or through France... Maybe even Canada in the not too distant future... The opportunities are endless. ( Hows about starting a patron page for us 'Those Happy Days' Lovers ?)❤ As always Thanks for this. Stay safe guys & Happy Trails Mx
You are so kind! Thank you. Yes all those adventures sound great - let's do them all 😍
Hi Liam and Janine , lovely vlog , im watching all from the start now , funny enough i was at the full moon party in 2006 , and i have been to Thailand 41times in 12years but i have never seen most of this country , scotland or ireland , having been around the world , keep it up , Good Job .
Ah wow, we could have been at the same full moon party 🥳
@@ThoseHappyDays haha i tell you i had the mother of all hangovers , ,felt ill till end of holidays , i had a condo in bkk at the time
Just found you guys and enjoying your channel. Love that you are vegan, so I don’t have to fast forward the video when you eat.😂
Thank you 💚
Great video guys, with some useful information. We are thinking about getting a van and doing some part time van living, but as we are both nearly 70 we don't think that we could do it full time.
YeH you can 😉
@@ThoseHappyDays Only if we have to.
Honest👍
Plymouth has some incredible woods & vegan cafés
Ooo sounds great, any suggestions?
@@ThoseHappyDays PowerPlant cafe
Cosmic kitchen
Samphire brenson 😌
Walks - Ham woods, saltram, Plym woods
Dorset is a show stopper I love Dorset .
Bravo👏
Thank you Peter 💚
❤️
Where can I find the video mentioning the toastie maker, and also where were your new cups purchased? Are they on your website at all?
❤❤❤
Make van more reliable. Check equipments on Japanese van life cooking,heating, refrig
👍🚐
Hope you got this resolved? It sou ded like the common dpf issue but was an injector blocked as well? Had you been doing a few short journeys?
Hi,Janine Liam what a great blog to answer you questions truly was so interesting I’m not a Vegan and never will be to old to change my Ways,but I love you blogs I love the smile of Janine gives me goose pimples lol ,I think the toilet question was a good question but you did not answer it very good ,I think most people who watch any motorhome or camper van always wonder about the loos ,I did myself,I hired a motorhome in June and went to travel the west cost of Scotland and the isle of sky absolutely stunning if I was not disabled I would have my own motorhome,,looked fun on the river in the row boat great fun
Really enjoyed this blog it was very interesting listening to you both answering the questions as truthful as possible,so guys till next time take care keep safe,John 😂😂👏👀🇬🇧🌹🌹🤷♀️🥂💕💕🥰🍟🍟
Hi John, so glad you love Janines smiles 😃 Wow I bet you had a fab time there, it really is some of the nicest scenery in the world up there 💚
I saw in a pevious comment that you use leisure centres for showers. Is there a membership scheme that allows you to use a certain chain UK wide? I know that's possible in the USA.
There's an app called Hussle...but we just roll up on the day and ask and you can find some great deals that way
Any tips for winter van life would be great im starting full-time this Feb #thelostnative
Haha will let you know as we progress, so far the issue is condensation 🤔
furkids only? awesome :)
You know it 😜
So I have a great place for you to stay in Scotland....West cost near Fort William you cross on a small ferry (Corran ferry) , onto the ardnamurchan peninsula and travel right to the farthest most tip, Mallaig keep driving to sanna bay beach, There's sand dunes, silver sands, lighthouse,viewing point, a walk between the dunes to the cairns, there's mountains it's truly beautiful, sanna bay beach this it the most westerly point in the whole of the uk and there's lovely walks, there's public loos, free, overnight free parking . Also there a walk called the "ring of fire" it's long13km but think you would love it there's visiter centers, cafes, and eating places ,water sports and on, the further along the peninsula you get the more desolate and wildly natural it becomes.The water can be warm to swim in because the water is warmed by the gulf stream and this causes a mini micro climate that means there are very unusual plant insects birds and animals live and grow that are not usual for such a westerly point.
compostable items, only compost if they are aerated and left to decompose above ground. most items sold as compostable end up in landfill so take just as long to decompose
We need council compost bins
You have lovely hair...you should show it off once in a while or try a long like Liam the Terrible or Hollywood actors.
Keep making Plans but remember 'When Plans unravel Adventures unfold.'
You know what, we totally agree. Only unplanned journeys are true adventures, and always the best adventure! Keep it up 🙌
Found a couple of fake instagram profiles pretending to be you, so I've blocked and reported them. They have underscores/dash written differently. 👍
I love your vegan recipes btw! 😋
Thank you ❤️
How do you receive post or parcels etc 💞
Good question, we try not to get sent them now as much. But letters go to parents house.. and parcels we do click and collect all over the country
How do you shower
So, how much did your van+conversion cost?
A lot haha
What are your guys favorite type of coffee and tea?
Liam drinks yerba mate every morning, janine has a tea and coffee. We love so many hot drinks, how about you?
@@ThoseHappyDays I like Chaiology Darjeeling Whole Leaf Black Tea and MATCHA DNA Certified Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder. That’s my favorites
@@matthewdavis4342 nice! Wouldn't say no to any of them! We have spent time in Darjeeling, but all the best tea there got shipped to the UK 🤣
@@ThoseHappyDays how was it there? Never been there and would it be a great place to check it out?
@@matthewdavis4342 when the world opens up again, we really recommend it 👌 Beautiful with Beautiful people ❤️
What did you both do for work before you started van life.
Had a gardening business
@@ThoseHappyDays thanks
what is this place called? where you can go on that boat?
It's Stratford Upon Avon where Shakespeare used to live. Very beautiful place to visit, you can visit Shakespeares House, hire boats or just walk through the park watching the buskers on your way 😊
Who was the backing music by at the end 🤔
Cody Francis- Weather Any Storm
Getting back to the toilet question 😂
😅😅😅😅
I wish my boyfriend would do this with are 2 children but he won't
Keep plugging away at him 🙏💚
@@ThoseHappyDays I am going to keep trying but I think I will have to try and learn to drive it scary me cause I'm 46 year old
Shame you don't want kids I think you would make great parents
What a lovely compliment
It is certainly great being childfree. As soon as you have kids one is absolutely trapped
Yeah I can imagine things take more thought
What a horrible comment,You are only "Trapped" if you dont love you're children,Otherwise you build your life around them,They didn't ask to be here .
I’m a mom of two and one of the things I appreciate is watching a couple who are same age as me having adventures like I had before kids. It’s just as fulfilling to choose this and I appreciate following the journey. Yes, you can love your kids and recognize you’re trapped in a sense because your freedom is so limited in comparison
