Van Andrews Chris and Dione
Великобритания
Добавлен 13 авг 2022
Heading for the wide open spaces. We've been living in our van since July 2023. Dione began chemo for breast cancer in 2023, so our travels were limited in 2023 and 2024. We had many months settled near our local hospital. Hopefully, travel adventures further afield will begin in 2025. Life is good and we love our van, Bryan. #vanlifeuk #vanlife #fulltimevanlife
What will we find today?
We set out to find more interesting places near our campsite. We also get a visit from a great spotted woodpecker.

Don't watch, unless you're part of the Spencer clan 😂, as this is only of interest to family and will be quite boring for others. These are old family videos and photos that Dione wanted to edit and preserve.
Getting LPG and a day out.

Bye bye Somerset

Clevedon is a seaside resort on the River Severn with easy access from the M5. It has great views over the water to South Wales. The Town itself is a mix of old and new. Frome in Somerset is a picturesque town, but very hilly. Chris and I did struggle with the hilly, cobbled roads, but if you're fit and healthy you wouldn't have any issues. The medieval streets are lined with stores, cafes and ...

Exmoor is loosely defined as an area of hilly open moorland in west Somerset and north Devon in South West England. On our way back from Exmoor, we saw a small National Trust sign for Selworthy, which is a sm...

The complete walk is approximately three-quarters of a mile each way, approximately 15 minutes each way. At the end, you’re rewarded with a view of this impressive monument to the Duke of Wellington.

We ventured to Lynmouth which is a village in Devon, England, on the northern edge of Exmoor. We took the scenic route, which costs £2, but is not as steep as Porlock Hill. Lynmouth is directly below the neighbouring town of Lynton, which was the only place to expand to once Lynmouth became as built-up as possible. The villages are connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway, which works...

Whilst on the steam train to Minehead, we met a lovely gentleman who recommended we go to Dulverton, which is a town and civil parish in west Somerset, England, near the border with Devon. What a friendly town!! There were lots of little shops to explore and the town was so quaint. We were so glad this town had been recommended to us. The coffee and cake at the Tantivy Shop are to die for and t...

Small roads in Shropshire and we didn't make it to the top.
Hi guys. Yeah, we grew up next to the canel (or "the cut," as it's called in Brum). They say Birmingham has more canals than Venice. Great video, as always, guys.
Hi both great video really enjoyed I grew up going to different canals my dad loved them he did have a fibre glass boat he just got it ready to go on canal and he passed he Would of loved a barge but to expensive I could live on a barge hubby couldn’t lovely birds the wood pecker wow I feed the birds we have two fat pigeons we call the George and Mildred lol 😂 keep warm both take care Clare x🇬🇧❤️🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🛶🛶🛶🛶⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️🚤🚤🚤🛥️🛥️🛥️🛳️🛳️🛳️⛴️⛴️⛴️🚢🚢🚢🛟🛟⚓️⚓️🪝🪝🪝
Hi Clare!! The barges to rent were like £1000 plus a week to rent. So buying one would need a lottery win 😂. I told Chris it would be cheaper to fly to Spain for a week. What a lovely memory of your dad! I'm glad you have George and Mildred to entertain you. I think pigeons are the comedians of the bird world 😂. Thank you lovely Clare and yes, you both stay warm and keep those pigeons fat and healthy. 🐦🐦🐦🙏🫶❤️x
Wow great video! Love that bird feeder! And wow at the woodpecker! Thats brilliant to watch! And all that frost looks amazing! Proper winter wonderland! The aqueduct is amazing. The amount of weight that bridge must hold is amazing! Especially when it's frozen! Great video guys 🫶💚🫛
We're so glad we bought the bird feeder. It's so soothing to watch the birds and we usually stay at places for a minimum of a month, so we can put it out a lot. I didn't even think about the weight the aqueduct has to endure 😂. Thank you once again for your support 🙏✌️❤️
Wow, I really liked this video. The canal walks were interesting. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching once again. 🙏✌️❤️
Love the bird feeder. Watching birds is so therapeutic. The Aqueduct was interesting. Love watching your adventures. Matt & Bec 😊❤
We're so glad we bought the bird feeder 😊. Thank you once again for watching, we really appreciate it. 🙏✌️❤️
We found loads of local places when we got Desmond. Places we should have known about but did not have a clue.
Thank you David! We will never catch up with all the interesting places you have been to 😂🙏✌️❤️
Enjoyed watching your Q&A. It was a great way to get to know more about you both. All the best for 2025. Matt & Bec 😊❤

Hello Chris and Dione, I saw your channel on Millionaire Paul's RUclips Channel. Good job on the video. I am a New Subscriber. Cheers Joe
Thank you Joe! Just subscribed to yours! I will catch up with your videos tonight and have a look. I'm currently watching loads of Gopro videos 😂 as we usually use our phones and have been timid to use our Gopro 😂. Thanks so much for the sub, watch and comment! Dione 🙏✌️❤️
Looks like you had a fantastic day and the weather was on your side ☀️. The Church looked so beautiful. New friends here. Matt & Bec ❤
When the sun shines in the UK, it's beautiful 😁. Thank you for watching and commenting Matt and Bec and hello 👋! ✌️🙏❤️

Thanks Paul! The weather is keeping us inside most days 😂🙏✌️❤️
that was very interesting
Thank you for watching and commenting. It means a lot. 🙏✌️😁
Hey guy's. Back in the 90's, me my brother and our girlfriends used to drink in and around Henley In Arden. Beautiful place. There is also a place bear there called Cathrine de Barnes, right old snobby area, we pulled up to admire one of the big mansions, and one of the owners asked us to move our car because they thought we lowered the tone of the place. Cheeky b*stards. 🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the good work guys.
😂😂 we should find that place, Catherine de Barnes and park our van there and see if attitudes have changed 😂. It is a very pretty place so we need to get out more explore, but this weather puts us off! Easier to stay in the warmth of the van and watch youtube. Thank you Gareth for all your support, 'you know who you are' and I always look forward to your comments. Have a good week and stay warm! 😁🙏✌️❤️
Hi both lovely video lovely church hubby was born in alcester where we use to live the whole village was on lpg we use to have the big bottles delivered it was a pain my hubby always ask me if he’s ok to go in car I say don’t ask me I don’t even know what day it is lol lol 😜 u both take care hugs Clare x🇬🇧❤️🤗
We love alcester and are so close to it now. That's cool that your hubby is from there and so funny about the lpg. Now it's hard to find! I thought today was Monday until about lunchtime when I finally checked it on my phone 😂. Thanks Clare as always, you know who you are, when I say that on the video 😉. Have a great week!!! 🙏✌️😁❤️xx
Great banter between you. Love it. 🙏❤️
As always, thank you!! 35 yrs of marriage either leads to banter or silence 😂❤️❤️
We are amazed by how many times our Sat Nav gets it wrong. Back from our trip now and waiting for some deliveries before we get going again.
Oh lovely! We will get some more Desmonds Donders! Yes, Sat navs are the necessary evil. I used to be quite good at following maps, but I think that part of my brain has not been used in so long! Have a great week. 🙏✌️❤️
There are a lot of places that we just pass by and don't bother to visit, locally. Thanks for another good video 😊.
So nice of you! Thank you once again for watching and commenting! ✌️🙏❤️
I think Chris looked retro eighties in the wig. Happy Hogmanay.
Happy Hogmanay! The wig suited Chris better than me 😂❤️

Hi Clare! Yes, Chris should give it a go, wearing the curly wig. It suits him better than me 😂. We will also be in bed by 10. Chris went to London with a friend a couple of times and I said no thank you 😂. I can't imagine anything worse than the crowds in London and my bladder would not hold out 😂. Happy New Year from both of us to both of you and thank you for your support this year!! ✌️🫶❤️❤️x

MERRY CHRISTMAS CLARE AND HUBBY! I bet you look great in your T shirts and headbands! I hope you have a wonderful day and a great New Year! Fortunately, none of the butterflies dive bombed us, that would've freaked me out 😂. Yes it would freak us out to have William S jump out of nowhere 😂. Thank you for all your support this year, it means a lot. ❤✌️🫶❤️🎅🎄xx
Great video. Didn't know ownthat butterfly place was there! Great to see it as we love butterflies! Stratfords a lovely place, but never walked around before just driven around for work! Merry Christmas to you both! 🎉

Have a Merry Christmas both. All the best. 🎄🎅❄
Merry Christmas Gareth! Thank you for all your support this year, we really appreciate it. Happy New Year! ✌️🫶🎅🎄❤️
Fascinating. The saying goes, "Two counties separated by a common language". Bill Bailey does a brilliant routine about us Brits saying "Not too bad" when asked how we are. I really struggle with the majority of American comedies which I rarely find funny 😁 Loved thus video 👍 Warm wishes and Happy Christmas from Millionaire Paul 😀 (off to the toilet now 😅😅😅)
Thank you Mr Millionaire! I'm back in the UK now, phew 😂 and no I don't really like American comedies, usually too predictable! Happy Christmas and New Year!! 🙏✌️🫶🎅🎄
I'm just off to make a nice cup of dee...! Innit. Loved this video. Mind you I'm a terrible tipper 😅. Warm wishes from Millionaire Paul 👍
Hi friend 😉 thanks for the watch! I think US is the only place that is so tip conscious, innit! 😘✌️🫶🎅🎄
Another great video Great to hear the differences between the US and the UK Merry Christmas to you both Morgs Jo and Boo ❤
Thank you for watching and subscribing to our little channel! I have subscribed to yours as you have been to lots of places we want to visit 😊. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Dione 🙏✌️🫶🎅🎄
Morning Just discovered your channel so looking forward to following your adventures ❤ Great to see prices in US supermarkets. Have a great weekend ❤ Morgs, Jo and Boo
Sorry I missed this message! Thank you!! ❤️🎅🎄
I think the honest answer is money talks in the US. A great topic Dione. 🙏 Oh, and have a Merry Christmas, and all the best for the New Year. 🥳🥳
Thank you again Gareth! I was a bit worried as my content was a bit different this month! 😅 I'm back now and despite the weather, it's good to be home! Have a wonderful Christmas and here's to a great 2025 for you! 🙏✌️🫶🎅🎄
Hi Dione, loved your video and listening to the differences between uk and US , take care Merry Christmas x Julie and Tony x
Thank you so much for watching ❤️. Not our usual content! 🙏🫶❤️🎅🎄x
Hi Are you alright new friend. 🤣? Just watching this and will catch up with part 2 Later. There are some big differences between American and British banter but im glad your getting to grips with it. Keep it up.A&B.x
Hi friend 😉 thank you! And like you, I do like to reply to all comments. This is not our normal content, but the best I could do whilst visiting my parents 😂. 🙏✌️🫶🎅🎄
I just can't understand why every single American doesn't want to have an NHS style system over there. The NHS us just amazing!! Warm wishes from Millionaire Paul 👍 👋
When Clinton tried to change the system, Americans that have 'good' insurance were afraid they would get less good coverage if it were more universal 🤷♀️ thanks as always!! ✌️🎅🎄🫶
Hi 👋 ho ho ho merry. Xmas 🤶yeah the nhs has been great to me Ludlow practice is great to I take quite a lot of tablets every day p2u deliver it’s not right is it in the us 🇺🇸 they should have free health care we are lucky with the nhs bet u are looking forward to seeing Chris and Brian u take care Dione hugs Clare 🤶❤️🇬🇧 ps I was going grey me and hubby have gone white with our new kitten 🐈⬛ having his first injection tomorrow little bugger lol 😂 x
Hi Clare!! Congratulations on your new kitten!! How lovely! It does take kittens a while to calm down 😂 and good luck at the vets🤞. I just couldn't believe all the medical horror stories I kept hearing in US! So I was feeling it 😂. I got back Sunday morning and I'm still a little jet lagged 😂 but I'm so glad to be back! I had my heart test today and kept thanking everyone 😂. Thanks again Clare, you always make me smile 🙏🫶🎅❤️🎄❤️ xx
Good for you for giving the NHS a big shout out. We need to make sure we protect the service we have her despite all its flaws. 🤗❤️
I heard so many medical insurance horror stories whilst in the US and meanwhile my treatment was fantastic in the UK, so I was feeling it! Thank you as always and I did keep up with your adventures in Scotland 😉🙏🎅❤️🎄❤️
I live in Scotland and have had much better experiences with the NHS here than in England. Thanks for the informative video 😊.
Thank you again for watching. I wish others knew how lucky we are. ❤
