This is the 2nd upload of this video as I had a ‘copyright’ note! I had used a picture that was online of a set of teacups painted on a wall I believe in Germany. I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong in the public domain, at least I think that’s the reason why. There was no music playing so can’t think of what else it would be ! So I’ve deleted the clip it from this video and re-uploaded. E...

A wee Narrowboat tale, projecting and a rude encounter! 😂
Car Camping Tales!

A montage of my recent Car Camping trip and a quick peek around my Narrowboat!
Just found you 😊. Love your videos You have a really lovely way about you I would love to see a tour of your narrow boat and the things that you have done to it over the years Are you moored in the same place permanently?
Hello from Corbin, Ky. USA, A Bluetti power station charges back up quicker than a Jackery
I absolutely love what you've done with the van so far. Tilly Teacup looks both fresh and cozy, she's definitely a wee country cottage on wheels!
Loving the amazing amount of progress you’ve made in such a short space of time - what a busy 🐝 you’ve been! As a suggestion, I would take those metal plates from the rear windows and use them to make cardboard templates which you could then slot in for times when total privacy / security is needed. A material roof would give a nice soft finish and help with air movement and the inevitable condensation. As long as it’s easily removable to evict the inevitable bugs, critters and flying things that are bound to find their way to the wrong side.
Transit van meets country chic! You’ve done such a lovely job transforming Tilly Teacup. I love it!
@@CollieCrazy 😂😂 I love that! ‘Van meets country chic’ thank you, glad you like it! Thanks for your lovely comment and for watching my little nattering Vlogs! 🌸
Peri you should be very proud of urself...Tilly teacup stunning I love it..well done you...❤
Van is fabulous Peri, I am jealous😂. Well done on all the hard work, much admiration 🎉
@@jojoflowermilady1791 thank you for your lovely comment and for watching. Have to say I’m quite pleased with my van too! Just a few more little bits and she will be finished! 💐
Looks amazing Peri. You're going to have some great adventures in her.
@@annl4329 ah that’s kind of you to say……. Yes can’t wait to spend some ‘at length’ camping time……. Have a bit of a busy time at the mo, more boat painting! But hope to go away in a month or so for 3-4 weeks! Can’t wait. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. 🌷
That’s such a simple way to do a conversion! Looks great
@@ShoestringJane thank you and thanks for your lovely comment . 🌸 I kept it simple because I wanted it to be, and also because I don’t think I could do/am not capable of doing a proper full on re-fit!😂😂 so win win!! 😊 thanks for watching my Vlogs. 💐
Wow, Peri! Big congratulations on the van conversion and your inauguration trip. Even though you have more 'fixin' to do, the country cottage vibe is just lovely. I did giggle at your waving your toast around. I think it indicates how at home you feel on Tilly Teacup! Good idea to cover those windows when you are out or at night. Think getting a bigger mattress so that it fits the bed is a good idea! Looking forward to the next vlog already!
@@user-ix2yz9qh6r ahh thank you for your lovely feedback on my van ‘conversion’. Me and my waving toast! 😂😂 hope all good with you and thanks for watching! 🌸
Oh, what a lovely job you've done, I love it and it looks so comfortable. I sense you will have wonderful adventures in Tilly Teacup xx
@@Susan-hv9mc ahhh thank you! Still a few more bits to week but yes I think I will have great times with Tilly. Thank you for watching my Vlogs. Hope you have a lovely day.🌸
Well done on your maiden voyage. The van looks amazing. Have you tried changing the fuse on the 2nd cigarette lighter? I dont know much about the battery packs but there is a couple called #campoutwest and they use The Jackery. You could put wooden slats on the ceiling to cover insulation and give you hanging space for things like nets for storage and fairy lights etc. Looks like you had a fab weekend ❤️❤️
@@blackpooltownvideo thanks for your tips H, will check out the fuses. Ooo wooden slats, I could dark wax them and make them look like beams in a cottage! 😂😂 that might be going a bit too far! But good idea about the slats. Take care 💐
Just thought of something that may be useful to you - I put stick on pretty window film on the bottom of the downstairs windows in my home, which let the light in, but stopped folks walking past being able to look right in on me - was thinking it would be useful for your on the windows at the back of your van. It looks so comfortable and homely in the back of your van, with your proper bed, and love what you have done to make it your own comfortable and practical space. xxx
@@jillychandler ooooo that’s a good idea, for the windows - thanks. The van is kinda cute! Glad you like it. Hope alls well with you.
Well done you. You're so funny.
You could have a nest in the hole, as bees etc have a way of getting in small spaces? Love your van, and good luck in all the work you are putting into her. xxx
@@jillychandler thank you ! ☀️
Loved your camp site! It was so clean and lovely in the loos and showers! I used to live in Little Milton, so not far from Oxford City, I now live in West Devon - where are you in the West Country, as I have only just come across your You Tube channel yesterday? Blessings from Jilly & Madge the rescue greyhound. xxx
@@jillychandler oh hi again Jilly and your dog Madge. Yes that campsite was beautiful! I’m in the Gloucestershire area of the SW. Here and Devon are beautiful parts of the country. Hope you continue to enjoy the rest of my Vlogs 🌸
Hello there, love your video. Living in a boat must be exciting 👍😀
@@cath7099 hello to you too! And thanks so much for watching my little Vlogs. Living on a boat, for me is the best life……. Not for everyone, of course. But it’s so calming, quiet and mindful being so close to nature on the canals. Hope you have a lovely day. 🌸☀️
I am sure that you have heard this before, but you remind me so much of Petula Clark to look at?! You just came up on my You Tube lists, so I have subscribed to you and given the thumbs up. I love narrow boats, and have never been on one, but always fancied doing so, and even living on one as you do. I suffer sever anxiety now, and only go out of my rural home to walk my rescue greyhound Madge, and to take the re cycle and rubbish to the end of our lane. I sold my car, because I was unable to drive more than 10 mins without having to stop to be sick, and I so miss driving. I get everything delivered to me. I have not been out and about (part from having to be taken to the dentist locally to have a tooth taken out) since January 2020. I wish I could find someone like yourself on You Tube that lived near me in West Devon, as it would be lovely to have someone come to my home, just to have a bit of human company. I do love living on my own though, and doing my own thing, and I love my home. Thank you for this video, and I have subscribed to you, and given you the thumbs up. Blessings to you from Jilly & Madge. xxx
@@jillychandler thanks so much for liking and subscribing, and for your lovely comments. Funnily enough, it’s a long time since I was told that I look like Petula Clark! But when I was younger , a few people did remark on it. I’d forgotten all about that ! 😂Also when I was a kid, I used to have her single ‘Downtown’! 😂 Sorry to hear about you anxiety, and that it’s stopping you from doing all the lovely things you want/like to do. Have you tried a local Facebook group in your area. I joined a women’s car camping group, before I bought my Van, and this weekend I’m meeting up with six other women who camp in cars/vans who I’ve never met before, so that worked really well and a group like that might work for you! Not to go camping but to pop in and see you, I hope you continue to enjoy my Vlogs and hopefully they make you smile. 😊
@@Peri-mylifeinateacup Thank you for your kind reply. Hope you have a lovely day. xxx
I live in west Somerset…just found you. Kathy
@@kathyblatchford3608 Hi Kathy, thanks for commenting and watching my Vlog. West Somerset not too far away at all know the area quite well. Hope you enjoy my funny little Natterings! 😂🌸
You're working wonders with your van, it's going to look amazing. I love the sound of your colour scheme. Hope the hornet departed and you hear no more buzzing!
@@Jacquiandteddy hey thank you. Yes, the buzzing did stop. I forgot to mention it on my Vlog ☺️ and up to now not heard it since so I’m guessing it’s gone. Phew, I can sleep easy. 😂 thank you for watching. Hope you continue to enjoy my Vlogs. Have a lovely day.🌸
Hiya, i thought I was going mad. I watched your video this morning a nd thought Ill message you once I got to work and I couldnt find it anywhere. It wasnt in my history and I thought, what the hell!! It makes sense now if you had a "copyright" infringement and it had disappeared, learning curve, haha. Its all looking good you clever girl. I can image a little cottage style, Tilly Teacup sounds fab ❤
@@blackpooltownvideo ha ha! ahhh no not going nuts! I had to delete - and re-jig but still not sure what the ‘copyright’ problem is….. wish YT would say……. Hopefully it should be ok now…… I must say I’m proud of me!! Can’t wait to finish it……. Hope all good with you xx
@@Peri-mylifeinateacup all good here, could do with a bit more sunshine but I don't actually think we are having it as bad as other places. When Tilly is finished, free parking at Ashton Golf Centre, Lancaster ♥️♥️
@@blackpooltownvideo I may very well take you up on that!! ❤️
I have been on my first micro camper night. I have been dreaming about it for years now. Finally got my van….and I Just feel deflated today. I don’t know why. I didn’t sleep well. Had weird dreams… My partner and me had big dreams about travelling in a camper, watching all the RUclips videos etc. then he got diagnosed with bowl cancer and passed away a year later. It’s been one and a half years since he passed and I just wanted to make our dream come true in a much smaller version but still. And now I think am I doing the right thing??? I know I have to give it a few more goes and you are definitely an inspiration to me. So I will try again next weekend 🤞☺️
@@petrabutler3463 I’m so sorry to hear about your Partner…… that’s awfully sad, and like you said it was a dream for both of you. But I think if you really want to be a ‘micro camper’ / camper/vanlifer, I think you should do this for you……. Your partner can be by your side, in your thoughts as you go on your adventures! Grab it all with both hands. Surely their passing shows you how short and fragile life can be! Be happy and enjoy everything!! Happy Camping! 🌸
Hi Peri, I had issues using images in academic work in the past. Apologies if you already know this but it's a useful tip to search for images on Google and then narrow that down to 'Creative Commons License'. These images aren't all copyright free but mostly they are (and free to use). Worth checking out Creative Commons images next time you need a jolly image or three!!
Good morning!.... Ohhh you're well worth a subscription. I love a good true view of CP sites. Ive been worried about the bit of chatting I do in my videos, but then again I'm always invested in what others have to say 😂. I'm half way through and thought I'd pop you a comment. Lovely video, and will be watching plenty more . Keep it up and stay safe... From one cheese freak to another 😁🐕🚐
@@YorkieMallarkeys hey thanks so much for subscribing, watching and your lovely comments. I’ll check out your Vlogs……☺️ it’s always a bit of an unknown- how much to say, and I do ramble on a bit, 😂 but people seem to like it, which is lovely. 🌸
Sensible person staying safe.
@@xvsupremacy7190 yep just looking out for myself! No one else will! 😂😂
Enjoy your channel, thank you
@@Myworldrightnow hey thank you. That’s so nice of you to say. Hope you continue to like my silly little Vlogs! ☺️🌸
At your request, $ in savings? You have me considering whether or not I could car camp on my own. I have never even considered it. Hope your progress continues unhampered!
@@bobbiejo8747 that’s made me LOL, thank you, much appreciated! And yes July’s savings have been put back! 🤩 If you’re considering car camping, then go for it. My first trip as you know was a biggie! What is it they say “Go big or go home” ! 😂 it may not be for everybody but until you try you won’t know. You can just start with the basic equipment, but make sure that your bed, whatever you use is comfortable and warm, the rest will follow maybe for your first few trips out onto campsites, to feel a little bit safer, before you wild camp. If you do start ‘Car Camping’ you’ll have to let me know how you get on. 🌸
You're amazing, well done! During the first bit when you were trying to get the bulkhead off, I was just waiting for you to say it was time for tea, haha. I'm really looking forward to the next installment with your van now 😊
Looking good, take care of my tool 😆
@@morts6565 😂😂😂😳😂😂
Well done you...knowing u it look fab when u finished ❤
@@susansullivan9800 thanks Sue…….. it’s insulation day tomorrow!! 😂 see ya soon x
Lost in admiration at your attitude to new ventures Peri! You are determination personified! And look at the wonderful (bespoke!) space you are creating! More power to your elbow Peri! Quite literally! 😂Can't wait to see how you progress with this adventure!
@@user-ix2yz9qh6r thanks so much, it’s words like this that also encourage to do what I’m doing ! 🌸 Rain stopped play today - I got soaked - again! Hey ho! It’s stopped now so late lunch and crack on again this afternoon - July in the UK!☔️☔️☔️ 😂😂 have a lovely afternoon.
@@user-ix2yz9qh6r hey just to let you know I had to take my last Vlog down and delete a picture- well I think that was the problem, as I got a ‘copyright note’ ?? Anyway just wanted you to know that I did see you lovely comment and I did answer…….. but it may have disappeared now! 🌸
@@Peri-mylifeinateacup Hi Peri, what a pain! I did see your latest vlog (since taken down) and your reply but thank you for the explanation. I suppose it's still a learning curve but don't let such matters get you down. I really enjoy your posts!
Well done you, I knew you could do it 👌cant wait to see the finished van. #frenchicpaint is absolutely the best. That is so funny... £1.50😂😂 Don't spend it all at once. Looking forward to next update and cant wait till you are touring with her. Hopefully passing in this direction ❤️🤗
@@blackpooltownvideo 😂 I’m surprising myself! But really into getting it finished! Yeah shock horror at the scrap yard! Take care 🌺
Oh, well done. I'd leave those small side panels too, they look like a real pain to get off. I love car camping and like you, my dream is to get a little van. But I'm in no rush really. You're going to have so much fun. Enjoy 💕🦋 xx
@@Susan-hv9mc hi fellow car camper ! Thank you for watching. Yes I did love my Vauxhall Vera car camper, but because I want to go away for a couple of months at a time, I just felt I needed something bigger. Hope you get time to do lots of car camping. 🌸
So glad I found your channel. I love your enthusiasm and zest for life. Looking forward to the progress of the camper van - great stuff Peri 😀
@@CollieCrazy hey thanks for watching my little Vlogs. Glad you enjoyed them. Yes I’m quite excited about the campervan. Let’s see how it turns out. Have a lovely day.🌷
Hi Peri, in Farsi Peri means Fairy 🩷 happy to see your cozy vlog for the first time!
@@403fruit hi, yes that’s right my name does mean Fairy’ my father is from Cyprus and my grandmother was from the Middle East . So pleased you enjoyed watching my Vlog thank you. Hope you continue follow along. Have a lovely day. 🧚♂️
@@Peri-mylifeinateacupoh how wonderful!! Thank you for your message ❤
Go you, with the van, that's brilliant! And congratulations on becoming a celebrant. I'm a priest, and find walking alongside people in these really important times of their lives very special. Good luck with your first wedding!
@@Jacquiandteddy thank you……. Really can’t wait to start on the van. I’ve got 2 weeks before a camp out date that’s already pre-booked when I had my ‘car camper’! Yes being a Celebrant - if I decide to continue after my first wedding - will be quite interesting. Thanks for watching my little Vlog 🌸
Hope you have many great adventures in your new van
@@jackiejones1684 thank you. Just ordered all my insulation materials…… ready to start next week. Can’t wait! Thanks for watching 🌷
I've just found your vlog and love it. Good luck with the van. Hopefully, we'll be pensioning it in a narrowboat very soon.
@@raymondc5473 Ahhh Thank you! . So pleased you found and liked my little Vlogs. That’s so exciting that you’re going to retire to a Narrowboat! All the best, sure you will love the life! I e just been out in the van, had a good look at what needs doing……. All looks ok…… so here goes! 😂🌸
We're in the process of selling our little townhouse in Spain, which has been the early retirement place, beautiful mountain village. Friends think we're nuts, I do wonder 😁
@@raymondc5473 😂😂 it is a very different life style……. But so freeing , tranquil and off grid. Have to say tho’ not for everyone! 😂 guess you watch loads of narrowboating Vlogs! ☺️Narrowboats hold their value so you could always sell up and go back! 😂
Peri, I love your woven scarves. You are a very talented lady. I love your creativity. I am looking forward to following you on your adventures. You are very inspiring.
@@annl4329 hi - thank you for your really kind comments and for watching my funny little Vlogs. Glad you enjoyed them hopefully they’ll be another one uploaded towards the end of next week. Have a lovely weekend.🌷
Hi! Really fascinating.Just found you,and Im going to enjoy your vlogs very much.Congratulations on the van and the celebrant distinctions!Im from Northern Ireland ,living in Spain for 40 years ,and I absolutely LOVE getting to see British countryside.It's like the desert here!
@@joanmelville8310 hey thanks for your lovely comment and for watching my little Vlogs, glad you like them. Wow along time in Spain! Nice to know I’m reaching other parts of Europe. I’ve never been to Northern Ireland, but I’m half Irish and planning next year to take my van around both Southern & Northern Ireland ….. should be a fab trip. Northern Ireland looks beautiful! Yea I lived in Crete for 7 years and that’s what I noticed when I came back to the UK , how green everything was! So glad you get to see some of that green in my Vlogs. 🌸
Hi. I've just come across your flog. How have I not seen you before. Absolutely loved it. I am now going back watching all your flogs that you have done. Love your boat and all the things you do. Great inspiration to us mature peeps. I'm nearly 67 and live in Gloucestershire, do knitting and crocheting mainly. Have an old (26 years old) motorhome and love it. Keep up the good work x
@@salliefisher3508 Hi ‘neighbour’ 😂 Wow great that you have a motorhome and still love it! It’s such a joy isn’t it to get behind the wheel be at one with nature…… Thanks for watching my Vlogs and hope you enjoy all the others too! 🌸
Hello! Subscribed
Just subscribed. Your boat looks gorgeous! Agree with you about Glastonbury. I still enjoy a smaller festival but won’t camp again. Hope to get a camper van at some point
@@ShoestringJane thank you subscribing and for your lovely comment about my boat…… have to say I’m a bit in love with her myself! 😂 I’m picking the van up in 2hrs!! Then work begins on it on Monday!! Have to say ‘Van RUclipsrs’ have been a great help for info on how to insulate and self build….. so here’s hoping! Hope you get your van soon. Would love to see how your ‘van journey’ goes. 🎉 for small festivals eh! Have a lovely weekend! 🌸
Congratulations Peri
Congratulations
@@Gwlana-h2f thank you ! 🌺
Love the pull out magazine page....Love Actually Weddings on the other side😂
@@tomoobv ha ha!! I wondered whether you would recognise that!! I’ll be charging advertising fees next!! 😂😂
Peri, I love your natterings! Well done to you, some lovely things to celebrate. You are a breath of fresh air ❤
@@Nutmegcottage63 hey that’s lovely of you to say and it’s a joy when people say they like my little Vlogs…… hope you’re having a good day. 🌸 Thanks for watching as always! 🌷
Hey🎉 in your Distinctions, you clever girl ❤ Great news about the van too. You'll surprise us all with a full conversions, I'll bet haha. If you can grind down paint on the boat you can absolutely refurb a transit. "There's a YT vid for that" haha Great video and cant wait to see you in the van. Not sure even @dovephotographyuk could revive the lavender. Take care ❤
@@blackpooltownvideo ahhh thanks Helen, but don’t get too excited it will be a ‘No Build’ build! Everything free standing! But I will insulate it as I mentioned - I think! 🤔 can wait to get started. Funny you mentioned YT I’ve been watching that most of the afternoon of how to convert your vans. I’m having a great time. ! Hope alls well my friend xx
Peri ~ when you say you have to film yourself conducting a marriage and a funeral, does that mean a literal or figurative one? You mentioned you have pictures to prove you tented at Glastonbury....would love to see them! I keep thinking how interesting your history seems and it would be great to see snipits and hear your stories. I echo others' congratulations to you for being a life-long learner and adventurer! You should put out a shingle when you travel and see how many impromptu weddings you can muster. 😂
@@bobbiejo8747 ha ha I literally had to film myself and pretend I was giving the service for both a wedding and a funeral. It’s then sent off to the assessors!! It’s such a funny thing to do too, even tho’ I’m used to talking to camera’ 😂 maybe I will dig out some Glastonbury pics……. My history!! Tbh, I have had a great time with still more adventures to come…… but there are a few things I want to talk about in the future in my Vlogs in the hope that what I say about my experience will help others…….but don’t want to get too deep! 😂 I’m supposed to bre making people smile!!! 😂😂 Hope you’re well and hope you’re having a good day 🌸
@@Peri-mylifeinateacup It is our Independence Day here in the USA. I gather y'all have an important election today as well. It is forecasted to be 97° F (37°C) here in South Carolina today. History is a funny thing, 20/20 and all that. We survivors don't want to be pittied, but want others to grow and LIVE. I am clawing my way out of an f-up and your are truly inspiring to me, thank you.
@@bobbiejo8747 of course! Sorry I should have said “Happy 4th July!! “ 🎉🎉 yeah our election will be much like yours in November! 😂😂 I feel honoured that I’m an inspiration to you……. Thanks again for watching and hope all works out for you soon 🌷
@@bobbiejo8747Happy 4th of July from Knott End. I went to my cousins wedding in Greenville SC, beautiful place and weather was amazing. xx
@@blackpooltownvideo Thank you, Blackpool! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Greenville is about an hour NW from me. Yes, it is lovely. I see that Knott End is coastal, I am sure it is lively as well.
Congratulations Peri - what wonderful news about gaining your celebrant qualifications and your new van purchase...how exciting!!! I'm from Somerset originally but live in Aberdeenshire and your natterings are comforting to listen to as they remind me of home. I also took the plunge and recently bought a micro camper too (in the process of converting it) - bring on the van life adventures and hopefully some good weather too 🚙😄
@@JaneYeaman hi Jane thanks so much for watching, how exciting for you, you will love it. You’ll have to start a Vlog for your camping journeys!! I’m so glad my Natterings and accent reminds you of home🥰 . I lived in Burnham on Sea for a while many many moons ago!! Not sure if you have seen my car camping Vlogs but I did 2 weeks around the West Highlands in April and I just loved it……. ❤️ Sorry to see Vera go, but can’t wait to go to my first camp out in my van!! All the best with you camper conversion , love to see your progress! 🌸
@@Peri-mylifeinateacup aww how lovely I know Burnham-on-Sea well, about 30 years ago I worked at Holimarine Holiday Park when I first left school not knowing what to do with my life lol 😆 Yes perhaps one day I will be brave enough to do a Vlog, for now I will enjoy watching yours and have a wee nosey of your West Highland Vlogs 👍All the very best with your new micro camper.....exciting times 😃🏞🌻
@@JaneYeaman Holimarine! That’s rang a bell!! 🌸
Wow congratulations on both the certification and the van. What lovely adventures you will have and with a bit more comfort too. My garden is allotment sized but sadly full of ants and I hate using chemicals, so we tend to share whatever I grow. In fairness though, I'm not really a gardener but I do like to try. This year, I have resorted to pots and so far, I'm not doing too bad🙃 Enjoy the New Moon. Lots of love 💕🦋 xx
@@Susan-hv9mc ahh thank you. And thank you for watching! Yeah can’t wait for my first camp out, in the van, which is actually on the 19th of this month! Will be a bit ‘rustic’ as I won’t have time to set it up properly- but that’s fine. I’ll make it cosy. Ants! Didn’t think about them eating my sown seeds, there’s quite a few ants nests in my soil…….. but like you don’t like to use chemicals……. Hey ho! Always next year 🌸 have a good rest of your week.
