    The best decision I’ve made on youtube is pressing the subscribe button for this lovely no nonsense genuine down to earth couple. You make my day.❤️👍

    Love this. I was with my wife for 37 years and believed it was forever. The last few years she started to change to the point I didn't recognise her. Anyway, she decided that life for her would be better somewhere else. That was 5 years ago. I've had a couple of unsuccessful attempts with women since then but it's so hard to find someone that really clicks. So nice to see you two hitting it off together. ❤

    In a world where social media is all about sharing rose tinted lives and creating idealistic setups to enhance the experiences they are having, here we have two lovely authentic people talking about their lives while driving a van. Honest, truthful and real. What a refreshing difference to the glitzy, pseudo content of so many van-life channels that flatter to deceive! I look forward to every video, no matter what it's about, since I know it will always be trustworthy and genuine and therefore hugely watchable!

    Omg that was soooooo lovely - Helen getting emotional was very touching and like she said it shows you are both very real.
    I had it in my head that Helen was something like a legal secretary or worked in the court or prison system. I think she is a very intelligent lady and could see her doing that job but i do think that midwife suits her down to the ground as shes the most loving, caring person ever❤❤❤❤

    What a super video. I have been divorced and on my own for 3 years, I'm happy as I am. But if I ever decide to try and meet a partner again, its a great reminder there are some great people still out there looking for a great partner. I loved that Benidorm video and have watched a few of these now and subscribed now. You are great and Helen is just fantastic. I hope this channel gets bigger and bigger. There is definitely something special about you both 👍🙂🎉♥️

    How wonderful to have you as a midwife, about to give up the will to live in agony "trying to haul out little peter and in you pop all smiling and happy,just fabulous! Some real lucky ladies on your ward Helen and your colleagues to whom i bet Absolutely love working alongside you.

    I almost met mine in the Southwest.
    I travelled from Plymouth to Barnstable to see her .
    She was a midwife separated from her husband.
    On our first date her husband died of a heart attack.
    I had to take her and her daughters to the hospital to see him.
    I eventually got home in tears but couldn't see her again.
    Meeting on the day of her husband's death.
    Her daughters thought I was a family friend.
    Anywhooo loved the Benidorm and Elche trip.
    Good luck to you two.

I had a brief period of loving Publiic Enemy, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Eric B and Rakeem. But my second favourite band of all time (The Beatles will always be number 1!) is The Smiths so I'm chuffed to bits you both love them too!

    Best channel Ive come across in a LONG time.
    This video needs to explode just from the intro alone😂😂.
    Keep up the brilliant work guys. Superb content!!

    I’m baffled, you two met online, I’ve got full faith in tinder then because I’d believe you two have never been separated 😂you need your own channel he said 🤣I bet it be exact same subs and views then because youse two are a package and I wish you many more healthy years of filming and travelling and hiking together ❤

      I'd love to set her a channel up but she works really long hours. Maybe when she's retired!! 😂

    Found your videos after watching the one on Ludlow this evening. I’m lucky enough to live in the centre of Ludlow. I’ve subscribed to your channel now and look forward to watching more of you two. Thanks so much.
