Started watching, then couldn’t stop, your happiness and laughter is addictive.
Hi Eleanor I love Litton lakes I stop there when I need a break in my van Domino my berserk Dalmatian loves swimming in the lake its a great site and the pub 5 minutes away is fantastic. My real all time favourite is whiling away the evening with some beer & cooking a hearty meal over a log fire
Just came acrosz your channel
Absolutely love your accent and your gorgeous face
well done . great vid
Safe travels……….🙂👋✌️🇨🇦
Hi Ellie, that place looked perfect for you to spend some time… showers and toilets!
Hope the lake wasn’t too deep. I would be nervous getting into it.
Have a wonderful weekend!!
Hugs 💜
Just come across this and love it!! Made me laugh a few times. Looking forward to catching up with the rest of your escapades 👍🏻
"Half-sane" is what we need to be nowadays. Wish that I had a wild friend like you to go duck-pond-swimming in! Almost forgot what being wild and free feels like...thank you!
Ahh ..seaside girl in a pond.love how your keeping everything real and lots of chuckles.
Another fab video 😁
What a sweet lady 😊
Your energy and vibe is off the scale Ellie, keep being you and doing what you do👍👍
That’s so kind thank you so much 😄💕
This little break looked amazing and of course it is Ellie special a Costa and cooking in the stitch. The transition looked amazing and something out of a film 😂. The swim looked beautiful, have you thought about getting a wet suit to swim in? You could also treat yourself to a spork ( fork and spoon in one) to keep with your cooking equipment. ❤
Good morning, Eleanor Grace. You're probably awake by now as I didn't find your post until late. Once again you plunge into a freezing cold lake. I love the fact that you're not afraid to do that and you must have anti-freeze flowing through your veins. 🤣 I also love the fact you aren't afraid to put on makeup while recording. Looking great. 🤩💕
Hi. Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you.
You are so adorable Eleanor hope you have a lovely weekend stop picking rainy days lol ❤
Hahaha I know the weather needs to seriously get better now 🤣😩❤️
Ciao Elenora! Lovely surprise and what a great start to the weekend! What a blast! You are the first person I have seen swimming with swans. I think you have got your videos to perfection. Love how we see you cook, make coffee and have great fun. You are totally buzzing! Look forward to your next uploads, as ever, arrivederci e grazie, Rafael.
Love this!! Weymouth is one of my fave places, enjoy!!
Bloody non stop rain! looking good, things starting to fall out, worse problems to have! Fyi, your left rear brake light is out. Cheers, have a splashing great day!
Omg I know the rain is getting ridiculous 🤣 and thank you I realised it was out again when editing the video haha it’s a loose connection on the replacement light fitting I got 🙈😂 (always something). Have a lovely day too 💕
literally just stumbled across your channel, glad I did though. great content by the way, infectious smile too 😊😊
Hi Ellie ,looks to cold to swim ,looks cosy just listerning to the rain,i used to love listerning to the rain when out camping isleeping n the tent ,glad your keeping well,safe travels
Thank you Trev it was such a lovely and cosy night there 😄 Hope you’re having a lovely Friday ❤️
@@EleanorGraceDiaries looked nice,my day was good,thanks enjoy your weekend
Class video ellie look like a lovely place and the swim look great 😊
One thing I really love about you and your channel is you are joyful, funny and adorable. And most of your vlogs are kinda like "not well planned" *kinda chaotic* which makes it even more fun to watch. Also at 3:15 I like how you had to pick up your legs with your hand😂😂
Lovely to see a happy laughing Ellie again :) You really do look so contented on this trip, and surprisingly no dramas!!!
Not that you didn't cause one though.... there I was sat back all relaxed with a coffee in my hand watching this when BOOM! You hit us with the face mask... at which point my coffee nearly made it onto my keyboard as I laughed...lol ;)
Only you could get away with showing us every aspect in your vlogs, but that's what makes your channel so enjoyable for us Ellie xx
Hopefully you've dried out, Stitch is being kept clean-ish, and life is good for you once more :)
Drive safe, keep smiling, and thanks again for making another lovely Vlog :)
Pete xx
You are so funny and you give me so much energy. Ron/Sweden
Aw hey Ron! I’m so glad thank you! 😄❤️
Cool set up 👏 fair play to you 👍
Good Evening 'R'ing Mad Ellie, lovely to see you again, glad your shirt is now baggy ;) Durdle door is amazing, always go there when im down that way, still too scared to climb to the top though. Soo want to go wild swimming one day, im just nervous about it. Hope to see you again soon :) xxx
Heyy! Yeah Durdle Door is one of my fave places in the UK for sure! I know what you mean I was nervous to try wild swimming here cos of how cold and deep it was but did it in small bits with breaks to make it safer. Hope you have a lovely weekend ahead! 😄💕
@@EleanorGraceDiaries You too :)
Hey Ellie fab video as always and you look fabulous x great start to a new adventure and know Weymouth and Durdle Door quite well aa did ny army basic training at Bovington opposite the Tank Museum x had a great thunder and lightning storm where I am the other night I love hearing the rain too x looking forward to your continuing adventure x take car and much love as always Andrew ❤
Hey Andrew! Aw wow really! That must have been amazing doing your training there! Hope you had a fab night listening to the storm the other night! Think we need a lightning storm down here to get it out the way and then some sun finally 😂 Have a lovely bank holiday weekend and see you again soon ❤️
@EleanorGraceDiaries Hey Ellie ill try to have a good weekend even though I'm working x hope you have a fabulous Bank Holiday x take care much love Andrew ❤️
Love that top...very elegant. At first, I thought you were going to bottle it with the swimming...but you did it!!! Well done you. Despite the rain, you made this seem like a summer feel video. We do our supernoodles different lol. Have you tried the curry ones yet? They're lush
Great video, that place looks awesome.
More people should try car camping it's great fun
How much does it affect your insurance?
Good evening Eleanor brilliant we Friday video have a fantastic weekend and all the best from Ireland ❤️🇮🇪🇬🇧
Happy Friday Kevin 👋 Have a lovely weekend too ❤️
Good evening Eleanor. Your videos always put a smile on me and give me wanderlust. I’m not quite ready to sleep in my car yet but I’ve booked a tiny house in the countryside next weekend.
Ellie loves a lake! Looked a great campsite. Dorset is one of my favourite places to visit in the van. I’d thoroughly recommend Eype House or Highlands End. No lakes, but you can park right on the cliff edge and get some amazing views. Great to see you having such an enjoyable trip 😃
🤣😂love it! a new adventure whoop whoop what an awesome start to the bank holiday weekend 😍😘xx
Hey Dan! Aw hope you have a fantastic bank holiday weekend whatever you’re up to 😄❤️
@@EleanorGraceDiaries thank you and you too beautiful 😘xx
Hi Ellie this was an unexpected surprise, great video as always on your car camping adventures and what your up to. Car camping up in minehead tonight. Stay safe out there
Lovely to be on a new adventure with you Ellie! Have fun 😊
My home county I'm near Weymouth ,great video your smile is infectious
Such a beautiful part of the country 😍😄
@@EleanorGraceDiaries it truly is and always so much to do and see .I must admit I'm so looking forward to the next video and to see where you go
I think you are wonderful ... thanks for brightening up my day !!!
heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ellie wow what beautiful scenery of that camp site and one "word" MAD getting into that cold lake :) and love the video :) x
Good on you Ellie with that swim, I wouldn’t have got in by choice after feeling it was that cold lol. Looks like a beautiful place to camp though. Hope you’re enjoying yourself 😊
Great comedy value Eleanor
such a good vid, worth the watch for the lake view.
shes baaaack
Heyyy Lovely! 😄❤️
As a noodle connoisseur, Koka are the best, if not then the cheaper the better believe it or not 😊 Also I've not had lemonade in years, I'm picking that next time. 😊 Great vid Ellie
You must be in England huh? Well glad I found your channel... You are Adorable
Take care till the next one
Hi Ellie, what an unexpected surprise this was tonight, great video as usual, great sense of humour totally made me smile, you and the adventures with stitch. Car camping myself in Minehead tonight. Ps I’ve still not done those dark window tints yet. I’ll keep you posted. Stay safe out there
Love the humor. The editing war really good on this video. Nice to follow the progress. 😁
Looking forward to the next chapter 😁💪🏼🏆
Hello good for you follow your dreams.🌹🖖
Enjoy yourself at the lake good video
The way you grab your leg to get out the car lol 😂
Hi Ellie, that top at the start of your video suits you. It's sad that you feel self conscious, own it Ellie, you've got this.
Great fun to watch 😂 that swim deserves my subscription 👍🍻
you seem so much happier than a few months ago but still as daft as ever!!. have you ever thought of a lockable roof box to put extra things in and get your windows tinted limo black from the rear doors to the rear screen, that's what i did when i was using my 4x4 for weekend camping
Ellie is just pure awesome!
Hi Ellie have you ever thought about getting like a roof box fitted to stitch it might help out you out when It comes to storage,
Great video once again I hope you get to make it to Weymouth it’s such a beautiful quirky sea side town, you’ll love it
That water looked absolutely freezing 🥶 you’re braver than me Ellie. Great video x
It was like swimming in a lake of ice 😂 Thanks mum ❤️💕
What the hell, why have I been to work on a Sunday..... Hang on its only Friday! 😂♥️
While im usually on your wavelength with most things but that water looked freezing. 🥶
great video as always ❤️❤️👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
good afternoon from michigan USA what a great video thanks for sharing i hope you have a wonderful weekend
Heyy back from the UK 👋 Have an amazing weekend too 😊💕
Love your south west accent ❤
Amazing lake swimming in winter ❄️ would be great
Evening lovely, love the video, how bursting did the characters on the loo signs look at that camp site! Also I can’t believe we have the same Winnie the Pooh trousers 😂 hope you are well Ellie x🙏❤️
Hahaha seriously?! We have great taste in PJs 😆😂 Hope you’re well too Adam have a lovely Friday evening 😊❤️
@@EleanorGraceDiaries 😂 only joking of course but secretly I am jealous of yours! Hope you have a wonderful evening too Ellie x🙏❤️
Swimming! Oh yes. Shirt top just needs a little hemming to not show as much and be good as new! Definitely better storage techniques! Could get suction cups for the front window for tie points.
Amazing hot showers, clean up area, bathroom's! Great spot! Don't think we got spots like that here, though I wouldn't know I suppose! Looks like some very nice cold water! Get that blood pressure under more control haha!
Don't forget your bamboo ms panda
Rain does sound amazing!
Hey Steve! It was an amazing experience and a gorgeous campsite I’ll definitely go back! 😄 Hope you’re having a lovely day 😊❤️
@@EleanorGraceDiaries Definitely a must! Hopefully warmer next time you do. Sure am. Little yard work here & there. Enjoying the sun, hope you're as well!
That place looks so idyllic. You're brave getting in that lake though
Was soooo cold 🥶 but worth it for the experience felt amazing after haha 😄
Good you survived the duck mafia 😂🤣. Great episode, what's your plan for the week? Are you uploading every evening or are going to save what you film for a later episode? I'm away in 4 weeks, can't wait, I need a break. Stay happy see you soon. ❤
Hey Ian! Haha those ducks were on to me 🤣 I’m going to be next uploading this Sunday as usual, wanted to get an extra one up today though. I’m tent camping over the next couple of nights 😊. That’s awesome you’re going away soon too! Hope you have an amazing time! ❤️
By the way you have a beautiful smile
hey you 💖💖😘😘
A very good Friday evening
Hi I adore you
❤❤ xx❤❤ from Jonathan in Ireland 🇮🇪 xx
Hi 😊have a wonderful day🌱 grace and see you later🕊
Thank you and you too! ☺️
omg whered you get those cute bins????? please I need a link @Eleanor Grace Diaries
The plastic boxes or the round bin? They’re so cute and both from B&M 😊
You're looking well Elle
Aw thank you 😄💕
@EleanorGraceDiaries You look absolutely stunning 😍(seriously I would love to take you out to dinner one night) I agree with one of your other commentors the top you were wearing at the start just needs taking in a little bit and it will fit you just fine again. There is nothing wrong with eating out of the sauce pan (us truckers do it all the time) saves space in the vehicle saves on extra washing up and reduces the risk of knocking the plate/bowl flying and then having to clean super noodles out of knocks and crannies you never knew existed 😆 the view from your back window was lovely. When i'm on the road I usually sleep feet to driver side head on the passenger side this gives me quick access to the controls such as the horn (should I need it in an emergency) obviously if I'm parked on a slant and I cant level up then i change round because I also found if my head points down i wake up with a stonking headache either during the night or the next morning and as for the rain drops falling on the roof ohhhhh that is just the most relaxing sound and is a little bit of heaven on earth (i put it in the same bracket as sound of Bagpipes) properly played pipes that is and not the strangled mess of noise i make 😆.
It’s nice to hear rain through the night but have you been in stitch when there’s a thunderstorm
Your a funny young lady. Lol
💪💪🇮🇪🇮🇪🙏 You are lovely🙏👍👍💗💗
I am so envious, you have the life I tried to have. Even though I tried to plan it out and even travel a little it didn't happen. All my parents had always worked so I had work in my blood. So I was always working and girls (girlfriends) kept turning up and my last girlfriend was work orientated well we got married and kids popped up (as they do)... well I am now single so I could do things a bit now BUT working so hard through my life has left me disabled and even though I am now on benefits I an trying to save up for an estate car so I can do a bit of single person living; Well apart from another girlfriend that popped up and in my 60's. also when I was your age "computer" was just a word, no social media, no mobile phones, no satnavs, So it was a lot harder to plan things then ETC ETC
You just described my life too , I wish we had CZcams when we were young, I think that’s why I enjoy watching videos like these so much, take care Paul 👍🍻
How much they charge at campsite and was it just for vehicles or were tents aloud il come for a swim with you save you from the birds lol
It was £22 for the night. Such a bargain and one of the best campsites I’ve been to 😄. You can use a tent there too 😊💕
@@EleanorGraceDiaries sounds great could you send me a map of place if I give you my email
Hi you should come down to the new forest, i have a tent ill camp with you xx
Ell😂Ello you absolute fruit loaf, watching you swim in that lake gave me the shivers 😂making bits shrivel up just watching it 🤣you brave little donut. That place looked incredible I would of bought an inflatable kayak and had a paddle around that lake as well, deffo one of the best places so far you gone, looked safe and well equipped with shower and toilets. Was you in the car camping when we had that thunderstorm the other night? By the way I love that top you was wearing at the start as well☺️❤x
Have you decided what van you buying? Make/model I mean.
Never go swimming alone, especially in cold reed filled water.
Let's normalise dress swimming again.. just don't go right under like Ophelia did 😁
Well that definitely was premature jubilation. I was editing a short video that I took at a local spot I call lickerland, simply, because it is right near the women’s prison. I know, that’s politically incorrect, but I don’t care. Anyway, I looked at my phone and noticed you had posted a video, so I stopped editing to see what sort of crazy stuff you were doing this week. As an Aussie, I don’t know what the hell you are doing going swimming in a lake when it’s freezing cold and pissing down with rain. There’s not many lakes that we can swim in here simply because there are too many birds on our lakes and you’re gonna be swimming in bird turd. There are a few lakes in the country with minimal birdlife on it that you can swim in. Apart from that, we have plenty of ocean to swim in. Our rain drought is officially over although over three days we probably didn’t even have 10 mm of rain, but at least it was widespread. It was still 22 or 23° and fairly humid anyway and now we have at least a week of fine weather. It’s going to be around 24 or 25° so that’s pretty good for the last month in autumn. It’s a pity that when you lose weight it starts off at the Norks. If you end up looking as flat, as Keira Knightley, you know you’ve gone too far. I heard that she first auditioned for the role of the sunken chest in pirates of the Caribbean. I’m still slowly getting my ambulance together and trying to decide where I’m going to have what. I’ve been changing my mind so much I think I’m transitioning into a woman. Just kidding. I’m just working out how to utilise my space a little bit better. I have 2 50 L fridges that I have to fit under some seating that may turn into extra bedspace (in case I get lucky).
As usual, I will await your next episode to see what sort of mischief and mayhem you create for yourself .
Travel safe. Cheers from Perth Western Australia, where our winter is still better than your summer.
