Hi folks. Good luck with 'crossing the water' . If you are going where we think you are we can't reccomend highly enough The Garlic Farm. And don;t leave without trying their garlic ice cream. It's DELISH !
Hi Graham, really can’t think where you mean 😳 but thanks for the heads up and more importantly thanks for watching. Take care, Helen & Dave
Morning Helen & Dave: Excellent as always. We went on a CAMC site this weekend with two of our four granddaughters for the first time. Site was called Blackshaw Moor in Leek. Saturday was glorious, Sunday was heavy showers. Wifi or any signal was woeful. I little disappointed to say the least.
Hi Paul, always good to hear from you. Time away with grandchildren is always nice (as is going away without them lol). Can't believe the amount of rain we are getting currently, no doubt if the weather had been better you would have been able to do more outdoor stuff with the kids. Our grandchildren and us to be fair would be pretty lost without wifi/4G availability which in our opinion must be a given on all sites, it's the world we live in now and is as important as electricity and water we think. Thanks as always, Helen & Dave
Watching from Norwich. We are actually motorhome owners, but love your vlogs. Especially the campsite reviews and your knowledge.
Morning Kevin, thanks very much for watching the channel and you’re just up the road in lovely Norfolk. Lots of Motorhomers watch us and we watch loads of Motorhome channels too. We’re all chasing the same thing just in a different unit 👍👍. We hope you’re enjoying your adventures, stay tuned, Helen & Dave 👍👍
Hi Dave. What a beautiful garden.
Ah, cheers Greg, just need some nice weather so we can enjoy it! it's bucketing down lol.
Hello Helen and Dave, we have just got back from Kendal camc site, it was a gunpowder factory 1857 till 1935, weather was ok on the Friday, lovely and sunny on Saturday, rain Sunday, ok Monday and we more or less missed the rain this morning (Tuesday) departure day, Rob Wise has done a video of this site, enjoy your hot tub 🛀, 👍.
Hi Buster Boy, sounds like you did pretty well with the weather compared with many 👍 We’ve watched Rob & Gail’s video from here and must say the site and the area looks lovely. Safe travels, Helen & Dave 👍
What a beautiful garden you have! In your future reviews please can you add whether or not facilities such as pubs and cafes are in walking distance for us motorhomers who don’t want to move once set up due to difficulties finding parking for huge vehicles. Thanks
Thanks for watching, will certainly do our best to call them out. We do try and fit these sorts of things in but we also forget to do it too. lol. Thanks again, Helen & Dave
Catching up after an unexpected journey. We were not far away but with friends and having a great time. Went away for the weekend and we were away for 10 days so now catching up.
The unexpected trips are always the best we find ha ha. Hope you had a good trip. Helen & Dave
Willowbank in Formby… lovely and sunny
Brilliant! Hope you’ve had a great time 👍
Maybe try some vinyl sticky plastic on the back of the mirror door to finish it off❤
Hi Angela, that’s exactly what we need to do, will investigate it. Thanks Helen & Dave
Hi, we're away until Wednesday at Burford CAMC. Three weather has been mixed, but quite warm when the sun is out. 😊
Hi Claire, thanks for watching. Hope you’ve had a good stay at Burford. That seems to be the sort of weather we have had today. Hope you can get plenty of sun before you leave. Safe travels, Helen & Dave 👍
Greetings from N.I. When you said you were going overseas I thought you were coming to N.I. and I could get you to do a homer in my garden..LOL Garden is stunning that could grace the Chelsea show and win. Regards Robert & Carolyn.
Hi Robert & Carolyn, good to hear from you. We clearly have more subscribers in N.I. Than we first thought. You must be the 5th message from N.I. Today. If you lived closer I could send Dave around, he’s always looking for more to do 😂😂. Stay tuned, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Helen and Dave. Love your garden. Watching from Nottingham as not away this bank holiday due to weather and other half having tickets for Take That.
Brilliant job on the cupboard door and hope it solves the expensive problem of broken mirrors!!
Cheers Terry
Hi Terry, thanks, Helen loves the garden. Don't have to worry about breaking the mirror anymore lol. Hope Take That was good, we saw them a number of years ago and they were superb. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Beautiful garden. I am watching from home in Stalham Norfolk.
Hi Andrea, just up the road, we were at Meales Garden Centre centre the other day 😂 Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave 👍
My goodness you are going to be busy during your summer .
Looking forward to all your site reviews 👍
Watching from the best county 😀
Yay! Can’t beat Norfolk 👍 Yes we have some great plans, just hope we get a summer! Thanks, Helen & Dave
Watching this vlog from Donkey Creek at the tourfest northwest with the addys, caravan logger caravan nut and hey ho let’s tow, had a great weekend, gorgeous garden by the way 👍
Hi Paul, wonderful, hope you’ve all had a good time together. Cheers for watching. Helen & Dave 👍
Just about to purchase our first (2nd hand caravan) at 60 years old! Will deffo watch all your videos again as we have absolutely no idea what we are doing and hopefully trust the dealer is honest x

We went to Shepton Mallet prison oldest in the England opened in 1624 and the Krays spent some time there as well and we are from Worcester England
Thanks
Lee
Hi Lee, sounds like you’ve made the best of the weather. Let’s hope summer kicks in good and proper soon! ATB Helen and Dave 👍
Hi Helen and Dave wow sounds like you are going to be having a busy summer! The garden looks absolutely lovely well done ours is very boggy from all the rain over here in West Midlands!
Hope you get your op soon Helen it’s amazing how the dates always move isn’t it my wife is waiting for a knee replacement and had a very similar situation to you
I don’t blame you modifying the caravan door as you have it was a poor piece of design and it looks great now and you know it will be much safer
Happy caravanning to you both all the best Daniel
Hi Daniel, thanks as always, hope all is well with you. We're really looking forward to our summer tour. a few stops in Norfolk, then into Suffolk before heading south and eventually we get to board our ferry. Hope your good lady gets her op soon and all goes well. Stay tuned, Helen & Dave
Hi Helen and Dave, great informative video.
We're on a short break in glorious Shropshire on a very nice CL.
You should venture over to Shropshire, you won't be disappointed! The scenery is as good as anywhere in the UK. 👍
Hi Philip, thanks for the heads up on Shropshire, it sound’s idyllic and will have to investigate further for sure. Hope the weather hasn’t been too bad for you. Thanks again, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi guys, we are in Algarve Portugal at mo, 7 week tour, into Spain next week, last rain we saw was in UK 3 weeks ago, hope weather gets better for you, 30d yesterday, best thing you will do caravaning on the continent, we be love it ☀️☀️☀️
Not jealous at all Rob, in fact we're quite enjoying sipping drinks in the rain!!! Seriously, glad to hear the sun is shining where you are and it sounds like you're making the most of it too good on ya. Safe travels back to the Blighty when the time comes (don't forget your brolly). Helen & Dave
Enjoyable watch Dave & Helen Stunning garden, top marks to you both, Gail loves Coco 🦜. He looks very content in his luxury garden room. Gail had a budgie growing up, seven of them over the years and all called Joey ! 😂😂. Your cabinet door looks the business. May I suggest bonding a second panel to the inside to create a smooth internal finish. It would make it more sturdy and also eliminate the need to pack out the hinge. Catch you on your travels and all the best to you both from two Cestrefeldian’s 😀😀
Hi Rob & Gail, hope you've both had a lovely BH weekend. Co Co is no trouble at all, he talks a lot but he also makes a blinking mess lol. My parents (Dave) called their bungalow in Caister Cestrefeld, as you know I am from Chesterfield myself, a Spirerite at heart. Helen also suggested back to back hardboard, I hate it when she's right lol. Take care both and happy travels, Helen & Dave
Nice job on the cupboard door. Garden looking good too. Well done. 👏
Cheers Lesley, hope you’ve enjoyed your trips away. See you soon 👍
Hiya both... We have just come back from Lincoln Farm Park in Oxfordshire. Left you a comment and tagged you and thanked you for 2 of our purchases... Weather was OK ish
Hi Dan, good to hear from you and thanks for leaving a comment. Hope you’re happy with your purchases and that you had a good stay at Lincoln Park Farm. Where is our Summer? Can’t believe the amount of rain we are having. Thanks for watching, Helen & Dave 👍
I’m praying for a good result on your arm Helen..
Thank you so much, that means a lot. Take care 👍
Hi Dave and Helen. Hope you get your op soon Helen . Watching from a soaking wet Edinburgh. We’re away to the Penrith area soon.
Hi Alan, it seems like the whole country is getting it, although the soon is shining now we keep getting sharp showers! Enjoy the rest of your stay. Helen and Dave
Re. Shoulder replacements: I'm so sorry to hear about the tosh that the surgeon told you. Unlike hips and knees, shoulders are not weight bearing (unless Helen is planning to become a professional weight lifter) and therefore replacement shoulders can last much longer. I had my first shoulder replaced Sep 2000 and the other one done in February 2004, and both are absolutely fine. I've taken the occasional tumble (I have 8 joint replacements) since then, and my shoulders are still fine. Please consider going for a second opinion and having one shoulder replaced privately. Yes surgery is painful but it's short-lived. Life's too short to live in pain. Sending hugs to you both. Hayley x
Thank you so much for your message Hayley, it's very reassuring to read this and something that I did wonder about.
I'm delighted that you have have contacted me and also managed well for so long, with so many replacements, you've obviously had your fair share of pain & stress and I can only imagine what you've been through.
You're quite right, life is too short to live in pain and I've never experienced pain like this. Thanks again and my best wishes to you. Helen x
Hello Helen, Dave and Bella. I'm watching from a wet Inverness ( we are the ones that went to wells a few weeks ago on your recommendation)
What a beautiful garden you both have....and I am also a lover of Buddha 😊
Your adventures sound wonderful and I'm intrigued to hear where you're going over the water.
We are planning Holland in September - never been abroad in our van and haven't been abroad since my recovery...so, very much hoping we go ahead! Keep up the good work guys
Hi Sharon, hope you enjoyed your stay in Wells. (Think you had better weather) Glad you like the garden and the vids. We’re sworn to secrecy on the overseas trip but it’s not Holland (which we hear has some fab caravan sites) Take care, Helen & Dave
Watching from Morvich C&MC near the Isle of Skye. Look's a lovely sun trap garden you have👍
Hi Folks, we love Morvich and the Kyle of Localsh area, Skye, Plockton is lovely. Bet you have better weather than us too 😂 Enjoy the rest of your stay. Helen & Dave
Hello we sold our camper last weekend as we had bought a caravan. We are not away in it this weekend as we are in Side Turkey for 14 nights 31 degrees yesterday 👍😃
Hi Simon, well I know where I would rather be, even in 31 degrees of scorching sunshine. Hope you enjoy your caravan and the rest of your holiday. Cheers, Helen & Dave
Dave just put another bit of of hardboard back to back so you have the same finish on the inside as well and you will have no need to use packaging bits the it will be stiffer. Use a good adhesive 👍🏻
Good idea Christopher, annoyingly, that's what Helen suggested in the first place!!!!! I hate it when she's right lol. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave
Hi Helen & Dave, we're catching up with you both on this showery Monday morning here in Kettering. We were booked to go away this bank holiday at a place you recommended, Sandy Gulls Caravan Park, and were excited to hitch up and drive to your neck of the woods last Friday. But on my way home from work on the Wednesday before my beloved Range Rover Sport decided to break its crankshaft! So no car for the time being, which means no trip to Sandy Gulls! But we will recover very soon and re-book. All the best to you both,
Kev n Kay
Hi Kev & Kay, really sorry to hear about the Range Rover and hope that your repair bill will not be too big! We loved Sandy Gulls, very peaceful place. Take care, Helen & Dave
Hi Helen dave n Bella, we are watching from brecon beacons in our fantastic swift challenger ,love the hot tub ,love your vids ,keep em coming ,thanks
Hi Mike, lovely, hope you’re having a great time and thanks for watching. Helen & Dave
sun sun sun in Wareham, Dorset despite tbe eratberman saying it would be a rainy Sunday. My grandaughter even got heat rash on her arms!
weatherman
Fantastic! Hope you've had a great weekend. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
We are watching this on Sunday morning after an eight mile run in the rain , it was lovely to watch such a lovely garden in the sunshine we could feel ourselves warming up. Off to Church next where we’ll put a word for Helen’s shoulders . X best wishes Helen and Martin .
Hello H&M, hope you've adapted back to the UK weather, sounds like a very energetic start to the day. Thanks for putting a word in for Helen, she is delighted to know that so many people are thinking about her. She will be a new woman after her operations and can't wait to get some level of normality back into her life. Take care both. Helen & Dave
On your recommendation we are at Fields End water but in the paddock and on grass/ Astro turf, very nice place.
Hope you’re having a nice stay there and it’s not too wet! Happy holidays, Helen and Dave
Watching from sunny Sussex we were in Caister over the Bank Holiday and sad that it rained all the time we were there. Ah well.
Your garden is beautiful and looking forward to you’re Isle of Wight trip we were going to do it but the ferry fares put us off
Hi Laraine, reckon we may have had the worst of it over here on the Norfolk coast but it’s a bit better now. Where in Caister did you stay? Hope you had a good time and thanks for watching. Helen & Dave 👍
We were at The Grange so not strictly Caister but we went to the village and we were looking out for you 😀
Hi Helen & Dave good to see you both, loving the new hot tub great addition to your amazing garden. You did a good job with the bedroom cupboard door, maybe paint the inside white same as the outside,quick fix and im sure you have a bit of paint left so wont cost you anything either lol.
We are away at Chatsworth Camc site just for the weekend, saturday was lovely we went to the house and gardens warm and sunny then today we were going to have a walk out but we have torrential rain with thunder & lightning so we are just chilling in the van, going home tomorrow 🙄
We live in Cheshire, next weekend we are off to Eye Kettlby for a week, cant wait, look after each other and see you soon xx
Hi Julie, thanks, hope you’re well and despite the weather it sounds like you’re making the most of your time at Chatsworth. By the time you get to EKL let’s hope we’re all basking in hot sunshine. Best wishes, Helen and Dave 👍
We are at Somers wood on Friday and we are from Nuneaton in Warwickshire
We have a stay at Somers Wood later in the year, never been before but it looks lovely. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave 👍
Hi, took your advice from a previous vlog and visited Naburn Lock and had a great time. They have demolished the facility block so had to use our own. The new block should be open in July
Hi Stephen, glad to hear you had a good time. We really enjoyed Naburn Lock too. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
What at stunningly beautiful garden and hot tub (wife loved it thanks)
Ah Cheers Paul, glad she liked it and thanks very much as always for your support. Cheers, Helen & Dave
Great vlog again and wow what a fantastic garden you have. Sorry to hear that there is such a long waiting list Helen. I was the same waiting for a total hip replacement but my Consultant also did private work at The Nuffield and I was put on his list for a short notice cancellation and only waited 3 weeks. Had it done at the Nuffield as an NHS patient. Xx
Hi Mather, that would be a dream come true for me. Hope you’re now feeling like a new woman and enjoying life. Best wishes, Helen and Dave 👍
Hi Dave & Helen watching from a very wet Crewe in Cheshire. We tend not to go away bank Holidays because traffic is normally manic. Our next trip is a week in Pwllheli the day after the Touring Car at Oulton Park. I will be doing some Kayaking as the coast round Pwllheli is beautiful.
Hi Neil, good judge, we let the working families have the space they need at bank holiday time too. Sounds like you're in for a good trip to Pwllheli, hope you have a great time, Helen & Dave
Hello Dave and Helen I hope Helen gets sorted sooner than later we where at Powfoot in Dumfries it was beautiful Friday and Saturday it was a lovely site and very clean i liked the pebble mirrors hope you enjoy over the water 👍😭Have a nice time Paul
Thanks Paul, great to hear from you, will have a look at Powfoot, always like to checkout new sites. It’s a long way from us but might be an interesting stop off on our next Scotland trip. We get lots of compliments on the pebble mirrors, thanks 👍 Take care, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Dave we at club feast in Staffordshire very wet but really enjoyed
Nice one, did you see Jason Donavon and Dan Trudgian? Hope you had a great time, shame about the weather. Helen & Dave
@@HelenandDave yes met Dan fantastic guy Jason no he was rubbish according to other people had to take my grandson back home
Watching from Australia. The caravanning in UK is very different from our vanning here.
I was just thinking that that wire you have exiting the door may have been the cause of your mirror breaking. Glass doesn't like to bend so if it opened then slammed back on the wire it could have broken that corner off.
All the best to Helen
Hi David, lovely to hear from you from Australia, we have quite a few subscribers from down under, which is fabulous. I e watched a nu
Bet if CZcams channels from there and the caravans look vey well equipped all terrain type vehicles and look really strong too. Wild/beach camping must be amazing. I’m very sure it was a dodgy catch in our case but loads of people have said their cupboard mirror has been broken too. Stay tuned, great to hear from you. Helen & Dave
Watching from Harlow !! lol
Thanks for watching, Cheers, Helen & Dave
Watching from home in Barton under Needwood on the Staffs/Derbyshire border. We are off to a site near Much Wenlock in Shropshire this week. Lots of great garden ideas gleaned from this weeks vlog. Looking forward to your french trip review. We are off to the Vendee via Portsmouth/Caen later in the year. Driven over there a lot but this will the first time towing.
Hi Neil, thanks very much indeed. Hope the weather is not too bad for you. Looking forward to our adventures and hope you have a lovely time on your travels too. ATB, Helen & Dave
Hiya, lovely to see you both again on the video. Just watching from our second home in sandbach, great to hear you are travelling south soon, drop by for a glass of viz or two when you are down this way 👍👌
Hi Jonathan, thanks very much for watching. We are looking forward to our trip South and hopefully with some better weather too. Thanks for the offer, where is your first home lol ? Cheers, Helen and Dave
Huddersfield in West Yorkshire is our other home c location.👍 if you are ever up that way 👌🥰
Your garden looks so lovely and neat, great apprentice obviously well supervised. Ours is currently a work in progress, my apprentice is building a fence. We’re in the Polden hills in Somerset with wonderful views towards the Mendips. For various reasons we’ve yet to get away this year so looking forward to going to Moreton in Marsh in a couple of weeks. Weather here was glorious yesterday Saturday, today is overcast but thunderstorms forecast
Sandra, I am a good apprentice but Helen is a strict supervisor, always demanding more and more. Goodness knows why I'm not a 32'' waist! It sounds like you live in an idyllic location, hope your apprentice is cracking on and fingers crossed that the summer kicks in proper before too long. Helen & Dave
Love the cupboard .. great job. So looking forward to your trips away.. hopefully going abroad to find the hot sun will help your shoulders Helen ..🙏🏼 lovely garden by the way. Can I ask Helen where did you get your lovely T shirt.?
Hi Donna, thanks so much. Helen reckons the T shirt was from Sainsburys about 3 years ago 😂 She buys em, puts em in the wardrobe for a couple of years before wearing them and then tells me she’s had em for years!!!! Take care, Helen & Dave 😊
Great watching we are in Suffolk but just been to Volkswagen in Lowestoft today to buy new tow car
Hi Colin, we’re just home from Lowestoft, Pakefield actually. Hope you managed to sort a new car. Thanks for watching. Helen and Dave 👍
Morning Helen and Dave,
Lovely vlog and what a stunning peaceful garden well done to you both 👏.
Great job on the cupboard door, maybe you could just paint the inside white.
Sounds like we are in for some great upcoming trips 😁
We are like you avoid bank Holidays, too busy.
We are watching from a miserable wet Wakefield with thunderstorms due 😮.
Looking forward to our Scottish trip in 4 weeks 😊.
Hope Helen gets the op sooner rather than later 🙏.
Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️.
PS sorry to ask Dave but will you be cheering Leeds on this aft 🙃, good luck next season
Morning Paul & Joanne and thanks for tuning in this Sunday morning. The sun is breaking through now, yes!!!! Difficult question you have posed me there but the truth is, I think Daniel Faroe is a good manager, got Norwich promoted twice in during his tenure at Carrow Road so would like to see hime do it, if only to prove to the Norwich management/board that they made a bad decision in letting him go. Hope you enjoy Scotland and by then the summer is firmly in place. Cheers, Helen & Dave
@@HelenandDave
Thanks for the reply,
🤞
Let's hope summer is coming.
Was worried you might block me for asking 😂.
Take care .
@@Meggy6571 don't be silly, it's only a game (come on you Reds). Catch you in the next one and good luck to Leeds.
Hello. Great video great job on door I'll be checking ours as its the same. Your garden is fabulous love the water feature. We're at home this wkend Somerset nxt for us. Thankyou. Xxx
Hello Alison & Keith, didn't think it would be too long before you're away again. Somerset sounds good, you will need to drink scrumpy, it's mandatory. lol. Can't beat the sound of running water from the water feature and it's a lot cheaper to run than Helen's new water feature!!! Cheers, Helen & Dave
We are at clumber park for 5 days to do some biking
Great Harry, hope you're having a good time. This is somewhere we have yet to visit but fancy a look at Clumber Park before too long. Cheers, Helen & Dave
Just up the road from me
Hello Helen & Dave, been watching you vlogs for a while now, Nikki and I have never commented before but you both give us a good laugh 😂 ATM were just on our last night Old Oaks Touring Park Glastonbury absolutely stunning site, weather was hit and a miss... Thank you both for all the hard work 👍🏻
Hi there Alex, great to hear from you and Nikki and thanks so much for watching the channel. We’ve had a lot of people recommend Old Oaks to us as a great site to visit, so we’ve got it on our list. The weather so far this summer has been pretty awful so we hope it’s not put too much of a damper on your stay. Stay tuned and safe travels to you. Cheers, Helen & Dave
Watching from Wymondham, South norfolk! Not away this season yet as without tow car at the moment! May half term is usually out favourite time to get away so feeling rather sad it's not to be this time round. 😢
Hello Amy, thanks for watching and we hope you get sorted with a new tow car soon. Hope it's not still raining where you are, the soon is trying to show it's face now over here on the coast. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Were at Stanwell farm in finningham Suffolk a CL 5 van site and it's been pouring down.
Hi Pete, such a shame that it's been another BH washout. Hope you've managed to make the best of it and thanks very much for watching. Stay tuned, Helen & Dave
Hello Dave & Helen from Florida. It’s hot and humid here, nearly 33c with 60% humidity. Beautiful sunny day here today even though I’m inside in the A/C. Enjoy your bank holiday, it’s our Memorial Day 3-day weekend honoring those members of the armed services who gave and lost their lives for the US.
Hi Marianne, lovely to hear from you from sunny Florida (not at all jealous 😡😂) We’ve never been to the USA but we can tell you live in an amazing part of the world. Respect to the service personnel who gave their lives for your country. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend. PS the sun made it to Norfolk UK today and the Mercury reached a sizzling 18c 👍 Best wishes, Helen & Dave
We are just down the road from you in Scratby? You’re not wrong it’s totally chucking down …. Left motorhome at home this weekend tho as staying in a static …. Oh well trip to Lathams to spend some money xx
Hi Ali, the sun is trying hard to breakthrough now. Bet Lathams car park has some big puddles in it! Always an interesting look around there though. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave
We are watching you sitting in our caravan on the Isle of Wight, are you coming to see us in July?
Hi Paul, Isle of Wight, now that sounds like an idea, wonder if our ferry would drop us off there for a few days ha ha. Watch this space and stay tuned! Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Great job with the cupboard door Dave and the garden is looking terrific. Hope you get your operation soon Helen. Here’s to some sunshine 👍
Cheers both 👍
Watching from the van in Cambrils Spain, nice to see the grass is getting a watering 😂 at home, would it be the Waveney river centre you made reference too, I drove down solo and couldn’t accept the stress towing down there although we store the van just down the road at Aldeby
Hi Les, bet you're drinking a cervesa as I send this. Yes, it's the Waveney River Centre. Had a drive there today and the last two miles is totally single track but there are two routes in, one is SLIGHTLY better than the other. When we got to the site there were several vans there the same size of ours but we met 3 cars on that single track and I'm not sure I fancy it either. Shame, because it's really lovely here. We took our boat there some years ago and it's looking really nice today (despite the thunder storm). Enjoy the rest of your stay. Helen & Dave
Wow that garden! Wouldn't want to go away!😅 Top marks! to you both!
Thanks Paul, it keeps us that busy that we feel like we need a holiday when we’ve done it 😂😂
A very sunny 89 degrees 96% humidity SW Florida USA
Virginia!!!!! now that's what we need here in Blighty, mind you, the humidity might not make it so comfortable. Bet you would love to be in a cool wet place like England, come on, admit it, you would lol. Hope you're comfortable. Take care, Helen & Dave
@HelenandDave I enjoy your travels so much. I'd rather be anywhere except paralyzed in this bed with stage 4 cancer. You are my enjoyment and all the beautiful places you go. TY....Helen I love your parrot 🦜 and garden ♥️
@@virginiawestcot3111 we cannot begin to imagine how life must be for you right now and we are glad that our channel brings a little light into your life. We always look for your comments and we send you our love and best wishes. Helen & Dave
We are watching this on Sunday evening from Poppyland in Thorpe Market. We have managed to stay dry wherever we have been over the last few days. Had a warm sunny day at Sandringham today for the car show.
Hi Michelle, we love Poppyland. Pam & Billy the owners are just fantastic and the honesty shop is a massive plus. Glad you’re making the most of it and not letting the weather put a damper on your stay. Hope you had a good day in Sandringham. Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi, we are watching from Barcelona where we live. A lovely sunny day here. We camp in Norfolk every year so we know it well and love travelling around with you. Good luck with the shoulders Helen and thank you both for the interesting videos. Suzanne and Garry.
Hi Suzanne & Garry, wow, living where you do must be amazing. We used to spend a lot of time in Southern Spain and we love the culture and the climate! Thanks for your best wishes, I’m sure once my shouldered are made of plastic I’ll be like a new girl. Stay tuned and thank you again. Helen & Dave
Hi Helen & Dave, good to see you’re both well.
Great vlog and looking forward to seeing the upcoming ones too… especially the overseas in July. Are you going to vlog the journey over to where you’re going?
We’re currently at home in rainy Manchester… typical North West Bank Holiday!!
Hi Adam, thanks as always, yes we will be filming our trips away, it's the main reason we go lol. I used to live in a rainy Manchester (Middleton) but like most places of the `uk, it looks so much nicer when the sun shines. Stay tuned, Helen & Dave
@@HelenandDave what a small world!! I know Middleton well, we live on the border of Whitefield going into Bury. Enjoy the rest of your weekend away.
Great Video, Dave is a good gardener. Watching from Suffolk, it's raining here too.
Cheers Tom, great catching up with you earlier 👍
Hi Dave & Helen,
Great to hear all your news and plans and we both think the gardener has been doing a tremendous job in the garden 😉
We are on our third and final night at Sheep's Meadow CL in Suffolk. Our first time here on a working farm.
Mixed bag of weather but three beautiful evenings.
Went to Southwold today and popped into the Adam's store to stock up on supplies. We thought of you Dave as we passed the Ghost Ship shelf 😊
Enjoy the hot tub Helen and make sure the pool boy keeps it nice and clean for you 😉
Best wishes from us both
David & Rachel 🥂
Hi David & Rachel, did you say you walked past the Ghost Ship shelf??? That’s something I’ve never managed to do 😂 Hope you’re enjoying Sheep’s Meadow, these CL’s are often some of the best stays. Helen is enjoying the hot tub but I am far too busy to enjoy it myself. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay and thanks as always for watching. Helen, Bella, Co Co and the pool boy/gardener 👍😊
Hi Dave & Helen we are away on Anglesey at the moment and as I type the rain has stopped, gone off like a switch. Weather was lovely yesterday we enjoyed a drink in the sunshine overlooking the beautiful Menai Straits. Mrs Rim is the gardener too, I help with any heavy work and bit of watering.
Hiya Colin, we really need to get back to the Anglesey area. We went when we first started caravanning and really enjoyed it, although it's a trek for us from Norfolk. Hope the weather continues to behave. Safe travels, Helen & Dave
Great vlog-once again.
Smashing job done on the garden, it looks terrific, anytime you’re not in the van a relaxing break in the garden beacons! 😁
Watching you from Braithwaite and weather has been a bit mixed but not to worry just have accept it 🥴.
We’re coming down your way to the broads in July so hopefully weather will be nice and sunny 🤞.
Going overseas??….Isle of Wight perchance? 😉
Cheers for now and enjoy.
Hi Dino, thanks for your lovely message, think the weather is much the same in most parts of the country. Good to be away though. Sworn to secrecy on the overseas trip so stay tuned 😂👍 best wishes, Helen and Dave 👍
We are watching Sunday rainy morning from Pinecones near Dersingham. Happy Caravanning x
Yep we know Pinecones, looking forward to seeing it again now that it's been revamped. Hope you're enjoying your stay despite the rain. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
What a beautiful garden - congrats!
Ah cheers Steve, nice of you to say so. Best wishes, Helen and Dave
The willows milldenhall
Hope it was good Paul.
In Northern Ireland to rain later
Hi Christina, you're the second person from Northern Ireland that's been in touch today and it's great to hear from you and thanks for watching. Most parts of the UK seem to be getting rain although it's trying to brighten up in `Norfolk just now. Take care, Helen & Dave
Hi dave & Helen what a lovely looking garden you have looks so peaceful & calming love the grey slabs stay safe lovely an sunny down here on South Coast of Dorset away first week in June
Hi Paul, thank you, Dave is getting better at gardening 😂we need to head south by the sound of it. Hope you enjoy your trips away. Cheers, Helen and Dave
Your garden is stunning. If it was mine I'd find it hard to go away in the van as much as you do
Hi Vivienne, we scratch our own heads sometimes when making the same decision. We just love getting away though but maybe that's why it's always nice to come home again. Thank you for your lovely comment. Helen & Dave
We’re having a lovely time in Clayton bay CAMC Site,
Lovely site and your review all be it very honest actually made us choose this site.
Hope you get your shoulders sorted soon Helen.
Keep up the great content!
Hi David, hope you’re having a great time. There was a lot of building work going on when we were there and we overpaid for the pitch but actually it was a lovely site and in a fab area too. Love Scarborough. Thanks for your good wishes and for watching the channel. Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
The family are at Carsington Water Club Campsite
Hi John, Hope you're all having a great time and the weather is being kind. This place get's mentioned to us a lot, we need to investigate! Safe travels, Helen & Dave
Morning Helen & Dave
Lovely garden. Watching the video in the caravan at Poston Mill Hereford. We’ve had good weather, rained all last night but very sunny this morning.
Travelling back to Dorset tomorrow on a Bank holiday Monday unfortunately, got to be at work on Tuesday morning.
Hi Barry, thanks, the apprentice gardener is getting better!! Hope you've had a lovely stay and at least you have some sunshine, it makes all of the difference. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Just like you we can pick and choose when we go away. Just come back from Berwick Tuesday 21st to 24th May and it was absolutely horrendous rain. Stuck in the caravan all the Wednesday. The silver lining is that our double awning rail sealant repair at our dealers, courtesy of the warranty has done the trick. Dry as a bone and we were in it there to witness it, which is a worm out of my head.
Hi Steve, we don't want rain on holiday but at least you now have peace of mind with the repair job so that's good news! When will summer kick in??? Best wishes, Helen & Dave
We are at eye kettleby lakes…..Saturday was beautiful weather 😎 here all week hope to see the 🌞 again 🙏🏻
Hi Wendy, blinking weather! Have you been to the farm shop/cafe yet(just up the road) and a brilliant pub in the village just past it? Hope the sun returns for you soon. ATB, Helen and Dave
Love that farm shop, steaks are amazing 😜
Also gates garden centre with awesome restaurant 😂
Not forgetting fosse retail park for shopping 🛍️
Have fun guys
Hi Dave and Helen, sadly you never replied to my email, also sadly we never managed to get the caravan that we were looking at, however we have managed to upgrade to a 4 birth with fixed single beds, a Compass Kensington 574, and thankfully it has a motor mover fitted, and we pick it up on the 7th June, happy days ahead, been away at Chequers caravan park Folkestone, a lovely quiet little site since Thursday and go home Tuesday so 5 nights this trip,all the best and safe travels, Neil
Hi Neil, apologies we haven’t responded to your email, it may have slipped through the net or even into the junk folder but as you can imagine with over ten thousand subscribers and over 90 thousand other viewers a month and with Helen practically out of action I really do have a lot to deal with so I hope you’re not offended that I haven’t got back to you!! However it sounds like you’ve managed to make a good decision for yourself and we do hope that you have many happy trips away in your new caravan when you get it. Happy travels, Helen & Dave 👍
@@HelenandDaveWould it be possible to get replacement stickers from you for the new van door, thanks muchly Neil
@@mentalneil hi Neil, yes, of course.
If you could just email us your address again please. Cheers, Helen & Dave
Hi Dave & Helen, watching from Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Unfortunately not away in our caravan. Our eldest is studying for her GCSEs and we promised her we wouldn't go away until they are done! Roll on late June.
Looking forward to your overseas trip. Thank you for another great video.
Hi Jo, good to hear from you, especially from my (Dave) home town 👍 Born at Scarsdale Hospital, lived in Hollingwood before moving into the old grammar school house on Sheffield Road. Not great weather just now so maybe late June will be scorching 👍😊 Thanks for watching, Helen and Dave 👍
We tend not to go away for bank holidays leave the pitches available for the folk who as you said are still working or need school holidays retirement has its advantages
Home is in Yorkshire 17 mile from York excellent job with the cupboard door know it’s a job done right when you do it yourself a dealer promised our friends a new front locker door on a faulty 2023 CV he assured them it was a new one little did the dealer know our friend had written his name secretly hidden can you imagine his face when he showed him his name on the supposedly new door 🤞for not a long wait for your operation Helen but Dave is learning all new skills 😀
Hi Shiela, we love York and had a great stay last year at Naburn lock. Agree bank holidays at home work well for us too. Cheeky dealer!!! Bet his face was a picture 😂 Helen cannot wait for her op and says thanks for your good wishes. ATB, Helen and Dave
Greetings from South Yorkshire. and I'm at home relaxing in my snoody watching you both. Hope Helen's shoulders get better soon and ready for the summer hols. I'll look forward to seeing the 'over the water' video as well as any others you put together. Happy Caravanning :-)
Hi Chris, many thanks for watching and your good wishes for Helen. Hope the weather hasn’t been too bad for you. Stay tuned, Helen and Dave 👍
At home in Hemsby
Good judge Linda 😊👍
Hello, Helen and Dave, Your garden is beautiful so very well set out. OOh and the hot tub, this should help your shoulders Helen, sending hugs, such a shame it will take so long for your operation. Your T shirt Helen is gorgeous. Loved hearing about all your adventures to come and the trip across the water very exciting, take care both x Julie and Tony x
Hi Julie & Tony, thanks as always. Dave is getting better in the garden but I have to keep a close eye on him 😂. Enjoying the HT and it helps a lot. Look forward to catching up with you again in July. Cheers Helen & Dave 👍
@@HelenandDave bless, you yes we are looking forward to catching up with you both too xx
Garden is beautiful ,
Thank you Linda, that’s very kind of you to say. Cheers, Helen and Dave
Beautiful garden loved your parrot amazing video as always. Look forward to next video trips sound fab. watching from home very cloudy here in Farcet near Peterborough going to rain here very soon
Hi Helen, my sister (Dave's) used to live in Farcet and I used to work in Peterborough most weeks too. Co-Co is a good parrot and he talks a lot but he don't half make a mess!! Thanks as always for watching. Helen & Dave
Watching you from County Tyrone Northern Ireland. You have a great garden there
Cheers Mark, Dave is getting better lol. It's you that watches us from Northern Ireland, thank you very much we appreciate it. Hope the weather is not too bad where you are. Take care, Helen & Dave
Wow what a beautiful garden ( puts ours to shame 😂) really enjoyed hearing about your plans and looking forward to following you on your adventures. Thankyou.
Thanks Janet, it takes a fair bit of work to keep it ship shape, really don'y know how we find the time! Looking forward to our forthcoming trips too. Stay tuned. Helen & Dave
Morning watching from close to Newmarket so not far away , we enjoy your videos 👍🏻
Thanks so much Paul, the sun finally arrived here this afternoon. Hope it’s bright and sunny for you too. Helen and Dave 👍
Morning, I'm on Hayling Island and I pick up my very first caravan tomorrow 👏 so excited. Thankyou for all your videos, I'm learning lots x
Love Hayling Island, we also stayed at Concierge camping not far from you, very special. You will be feeling like a kid on Christmas Eve tonight. Sleep well and enjoy your new caravan. We love Caravanning 👍 Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
I knew there was a nice garden to be seen when I asked for a tour. Thank you for allowing us to see your tranquil place at home. It is an absolutely beautiful garden. I watch your channel (and others) with much interest as I am wanting to start caravanning but I will be a single lady of 60 with two dogs and never towed before. I am familiar with caravanning with parents and presently do camping but the knees are now preventing the efforts required when tenting. Love your life balance. I am Cheshire.
Hi Janet, that tour was just for you really but I couldn’t find your previous comment to give you a mention. We have met many solo caravaners and they all seem to get along just fine. (Not youngsters either). Best thing we ever bought. Good luck, Helen & Dave
Well Janet , I started at 60..
My tip , if you can keep your head when all around you are losing there’s you’ll be ok..
What a fabulous garden, not showing you ours but we are very envious. The cupboard door looks really great, very arty. Love the bubble tub too and the gorgeous parrot. I could go on but we are just leaving a CCC site in the Malvern area and I’m hoping we aren’t bogged in on our grass pitch with all this rain we’ve had last night. Take care both and we hope Helen’s operation comes round soon, I’ve had both knees replaced and it’s been life changing. BFN :)
Hi guys, good to hear from you and we hope the weather hasn’t put too much of a damper on your weekend. Hope you got out safely too. Safe travels, Helen and Dave 👍
Hi 🖐 Watching from Mid Norfolk, Walnut tree farm (you went there recently) is just across the field from us and yes its pouring with rain 🌨 We are fair weather campers and like you don't have to go at weekends. Beautiful garden and really enjoy watching your vlogs. Rae x
Hi Rae, yes, we really enjoyed Walnut Tree Farm. The weather is rubbish and must say, caravanning/camping isn't much fun when it's like this. Thanks for watching the channel and please stay tuned. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Watching from Braidwood, NSW, Australia. Cold weather (nearly winter here) and no, we aren't away in our caravan. Next trip is July to a very cold place near Tamworth, NSW. Love your channel. Thank you.
Hay Dot, good to hear from you again. It must be evening in Australia by now, can't imagine it being cold there, strange! Hope you have a nice trip in July and thanks for watching us, we really appreciate it. Safe travels. Helen & Dave
You have some lovely Buddha and Budai statues in the garden, making everything very serene. A hot tub is a must for anyone. Good job with the mirror/door, looks nice. Well done on using the word 'funky', haven't heard that since 1974, next you'll be using 'super' hahaha!!!! Enjoy the rain x
Ah Bry, lovely to hear from you our friend. Yes, thought the Buddha and Budai statues would be right up your street. They are very funky & super additions to the garden and with the sound of running water and serene music it makes for a great place to meditate 🧘 Hope you’re well. Helen & Dave
