Anyone saying Helen is acting needs to give their head a wobble. She's a joy, and you and her make a lovely pair - it's refreshing to see a bloke be open about his feelings for his other half too. 🙂
Gone through the comments section and am having trouble finding these people saying derogatory remarks against Helen, I am confused.
@@norrishude6177 it was mentioned in the actual vlog, probably comments on other vlogs and possibly now removed. 🙂
Give their head a wobble ? What is that supposed to mean ? Oh yeah, others have used that line on social media and it was ridiculous the first time.
@@oddities-whatnot people like me who live in Northern Ireland have been using the phrase since forever. Have a lovely weekend. 😉
Thoroughly enjoying this! So open and honest. Missing Helebobs on her holibobs though! 🎉. 😢
Wealth distribution in this country is getting so bad it’s actually sickening … rich people buying properties in places they’ve no intention of living meaning locals have to leave their own home town
Dead right in my country locals forced out by rich buggars from Sydney and Melbourne buying out the town cheers n beers Marty Yeppoon Qld Australia Yeppoon 25yrs ago was a small coastal town of 12,500 today 25000 such is life as ned said
Getting? Remember England was once a place of rich and poor, so have things really changed?
@@bruceketcheson4877 50 years ago young people knew they could get a house with a bit of hard work. Now, not a chance
Vacuous comment.
@@grangetowncardiff6935 please explain why
I really like that you and Helen both tell it as it is - no drama - just fair and honest. Thanks for the trip around Padstow and the Rock - we've been to Padstow a few times but never tried the fish and chips. You just did it for us!
Another great vlog James, it's nice to see these places out of the holiday season. You and Helen are so much fun and honest it's so refreshing. Nice to see the pint and fish and chips back. I miss them so much😢. Look forward to the next one. Thanks again
Just found this channel by pure chance and tucked in to watch a couple of vids (like you do) I’m happy to say I’ve subscribed. There’s something about a calm, honest and personable RUclipsr that I like to see !! …… your one of them , keep up the great work buddy 👍
My Mother-in-law was from Cornwall, but I've never been. What the season lacks in warm weather it makes up for in fewer tourists. Thanks for the tour, James!
Just wanted to say that we look forward to your vlogs with or without Helen, you put so much northern humour and grit into them that is so refreshing.
Keep em coming James and Helen and we will keep enjoying them. Kay and Paul.xx
I'm currently having a night out in my van on my own, down coast in Anglesey, eating fish n chips watching a man eating fish n chips.......Ignore the comments Helen, sadly trolls will be trolls.
Love this channel! The amount of Fish & Chips I’ve ordered since subscribing is insane 😊
Haha Sorry!
What you need to bear in mind is that Rick Stein is a brand so you are paying half the money for the food and half for the name, those fish are involved in two catches of which one is in a trawler net and the other is catching the customer.
Brilliant James … so lovely to hear Helen’s voice on phone she is such a lovely person and so are you 🙂 love your vlogs .. Thankyou 👍🏻😎
Great yet again matey, love the channel and keep them coming
Your editing has come so far! 🔥! The start… amazing
Love it!
Thank you so much!!
Great stuff love it when a new vlog lands , Time to put the kettle on relax and have a watch 👌
Thanks for the tour of Padstow. Doesn't look like worth a 8 hour drive from Yorkshire. We are fortunate to have Whitby Scarborough etc
it’s not even worth a 40 minute drive from Camborne
I love these videos! Just ordinary things but strangely entertaining!
Bude is a lovely spot to visit in Cornwall! Love it down there! Enjoy your time exploring and thanks for sharing
Helen is real as is James there both genuine there's no acting. Just normal couple enjoying life and eachother 😊😊
Firstly, Helens a Brahma (as we say in Barnsley) you're always going to have your critics.
She's a breath of fresh air and you make a fantastic couple because you're both nutters(in the nicest way possible)lol
You're becoming quite the connoisseur of fish and chips, James and I certainly appreciate you giving us the heads up where the best meals are.
The best haddock and chips I ever had was from Chish and Fips in Llandudno. Maybe keep that in mind if you're ever up that way!
Keep up the great work guys
God bless 🙏
Thanks, I will remember that name because that's what my mum always calls them 'chish and fips'. Wonder if she got it from there?
Yet another great video my friend looking forward to seeing the next 2 blogs. PS Helen is lovely❤
I think if anyone says anything against Helen its out of pure jealousy, shes a lovely friendly girl no hairs and graces what u see is what u get and i for one love her, great vlog James bit of burnt gives it taste lol
@@michelles2299Pubic ?
Plenty of hair(s) but no airs 😊
Thank you :-)
predictive text lol @@michelles2299
Thanks for the review James on the chippy I would have waned a bigger portion for that price 😃 I think they took the pease 😁with the portion of pease I have never had a carton they small and the price £1.75 was pleading petit pois indeed lol thanks James enjoy your break. Helen is fantastic everything a woman should be fun to be with, loving and gorgeous what you see is what you get. You are a lucky man. Tom
Really enjoyed this video James, looking forward to your next one.
Yet another brilliant video. Thanks so much for taking the time to film and share.
Get to Kingfisher fish n chips if you haven't already. Best ever😋😋😋
All the Best, Mack and Maggie, Huddersfield 👍🏻
You have integrity mate. It comes across in your expert review of Steins chippy! 👍😊
Thank you
Just finished watching your vlogg mate, keep up the brilliant content, when i get my van next year and see you parked up I'll buy you a pint or 2 and thank you personally for your entertaining realness. I hate living in me flat, definitely a free spirit who loves the countryside, especially peak district. So cant wait.
I am a Yorkshire man who has been doing missionary work in wales for the last 30 years and watching you and Helen make me homesick. She is a keeper our kid ,love from Wales.
Good to be honest mate
she certainly is a keeper i agree
Your doing Missioary work in "WALES"??--I Thought they all had been TAMED ???-(only the occasional punch-up)
Great vlog as always James. Perranporth has a nice beach (not been in years though). Not far from Newquay. Bit more going on. See thee:)
Great video keep them coming you're doing brilliant 👍🏻
I love you both! Keep doing your thing guys! X love the new look van too.
Merry Christmas to you 🎄 X Stumbled across your channel by accident and so glad i did 😁 love your content and you seem such a down to earth guy.. You have got yourself a new subscriber lol ❤💥 X
James , this is my first post about your channel, i have been watching your output for the last year , and i am sending my love and best wishes to you and Helen, you are both lovely people, please keep posting mate, and best wishes to you both. Tez in London
Another great video. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more of out of season Cornwall. Do take care with your health munching all those fish n chips (although nom nom lol).
Great quality camera. Quality video as always regards Howard from Cyprus
Well done James, a decent, honest review. It would have been good to see a head to head with the other padstow chipshop, maybe 🤷🏻♂️
We love your honest reviews and your philosophy. Keep it up. One thing, you need apicture on the van wall. One more thing, Bill says you should try local caught fish. ❤🇦🇺
I use to travel threw the night, and get there in the morning. Thank's for the showing around Cornwall. Love walking around with you Guy's and haveing a pint.
That's what l like to hear somebody with a real honest opinion. Well done mate.
Nice visit. Thanks. Love a good fish n chips. Have you ever visited I think it’s called Helford? Visited there years ago. Lovely spot.
Take no notice of those who try to find fault. Love watching all your videos they are great. Loving all the places you visit better than normal television.
Drives 600 mile round trip. Spends £150 on fuel. Result...."These were the most expensive fish and chips I ever had" 😂😂😂
£160!!
🤣
Worst chips ever
Worst fish and chips I’ve seen in Cornwall 😂
😂
Who could possibly say anything negative about Helen?! Jealousy is a terrible trait to have,who ever you are !!
Ignore the idiots Helen ❤
Sarah's in Looe for the best pasties, also try Inkies at Goliatha Falls for great self-smoked meats plus scenery (not sure but you maybe able to park there, it's in the middle of nowhere).
Great honest review thanks
You and Helen are fantastic , i wait ur vlogs u two are the real deal thank you for sharing ur journey x
I do worry about you being on youre own camping helen you take no bloody notice we all love you hun x
Been and done cornwall dozens of times and it has its charm .hope you enjoy the rest of it .port issac is worth a look for a typical cornish fishing villiage
Seriously you need to go over to Dorset and go to Weymouth, the harbour is absolutely amazing, there are 2 chip shops very famous, lovely beech, amazing pubs
Hi thank you for sharing your journey, AND all so we NO what to expect whenever you go somewhere NOW. 👍👍👍
I go to Padstow quite regular and you've hit it head on lad, a good truthfull vlog, nice one pal
If you're still in cornwall, try falmouth, truro and look in to st Michaels mount...I think that's what it's called. We went one summer and loved it. Might be a bit different in winter. Enjoy x
Well done, thank you. Looking forward as always to your next post. 🎉
Helen's an absolute keeper
I reckon you can set off at any time in your van. Any traffic, then pull over and chill in the back 👊👊👊
Or *chilli* in the back, for the next review lol
Love your vlogs,keep them coming Helen is brilliant, ignore the haters. Love Cornwall especially Port Isaac and Polzeath. Enjoy Cornwall!
Great video James. Others may have mentioned it but bottled Doombar is actually brewed in Burton upon Trent. The cask version is actually brewed at Rock. Safe travels mate 👍
Loved your vlog - but missed Helen 🤪. We live in Cornwall and it’s great to see you down here. Some tips for you - for a decent pint try Hicks or Tribute. Both St Austell brewery and much better than Doom! If you come back here in Summer, then come in May of June. We’ve lived here since 2008 (moved down from Bradford) and those months are best weather and not too busy. July & August are a nightmare cos of school holidays, and August is the rainy season - believe me! If you’re still here and want to see a lovely beach, come down to Hayle where we live and head for Godrevy - National trust, and see the gorgeous beach. 3 miles of beautiful sand. Good pub is The Bucket of Blood - in Phillack, Hayle. Then if you do want to see St Ives it’s just about 5 miles further down the coast. Hope you get down here, it’s lovely. X
Watching your Padstow vlog. Love it down in Cornwall. Been to Padstow a few times. Should have hired a bike and ride the Camel Trail to Wadebridge or Bodmin. If you're in Cornwall for a while longer, Fowey is a lovely little village, so to is Mousehole and Marazion.
Best fish and chip packaging. Lovely vlog xx
We love Cornwall, our first van stay was in Fowey back in 95, we can well recommend that town for a visit.
Enjoy your Cornish travels and pasty’s, and cream teas!
Hi James, just watched your video and wow that brought back some happy memories and scary ones too ! We used to holiday every year and camp near Trevone so always visited Padstow at some point, it looks like where Rick Steins fish and chips is where I remember the lobster warehouses used to be ? Can remember going in and looking at all the lobsters that had been caught. Also the house in the harbour with the little window and face, I can remember a little old lady sitting in the middle window dressed in black and white, she used to scare me as she was always sat there when we used to go ! Funny how you can remember things, I must have only been about 7 or 8 years old. Last time I went to Padstow was for a dirty weekend when I first met my husband lol We;ve been married over 30 years now ! Loving the scenery brings back so many memories enjoy your trip, shame Helen has to work.
All credit James a very honest review
Get down to port isaac, where doc martin was filmed. Beautiful spot to visit.
Great tour, thus far. Totally agree about your Fish and Chips verdict, having said that I was expecting a lot better as they looked truly amazing. I think you need to end your visit at Lands End. Dave
Lovely to see Padstow, I went on a cookery course with my brother some years ago at Rick Stein’s cookery school, which is above where his chippy is and has great views overlooking the harbour. I don’t think when we went that the chippy was there then. I think that Gordon Ramsay has a holiday home on Rock - if not there in Padstow. Great vlog, thank you
Exactly right about road cones and nothing happening, plus they tend to extend the cones a hell of a lot further than necessary.
If you get chance go to Watergate bay its a stunning beach and we stay overnight on the council car park when we are there (not allowed but never had any trouble)
Good honest bloke from Barnsley , loved your blog 😊
This is where your electric bike would have come in handy. You could have put the bike on the ferry and then ride around The Rock. Ever think of putting a bike rack on the back of the van? Nice to hear Helen pop in for a chat, she's got spunk, always love the banter between you two. Well that was a nice walk about in Padstow, hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Cornwall. At least you got a decent fish and chips and worth another meal there sometime in the future. I just looked up a recipe for an authentic Cornish Pasty so I'll be ready for your taste test. Enjoy your travels!
Been a few years since we were down there , btw what kettle do you use in your van and where ya get it from I love it , keep the videos coming love them all x
I love your show I've watched it several times now and it's always cheers me up.
Your van is looking amazing. I love to see you go places, it makes me want to try them out myself.
However, Cornwall wouldn't be on my list. Maybe better in the summer. 👍
Just discovered and subscribed your blogs.. Well impressed your video of Padstow and brief view Rock. Visited both several times but not recent years. Have say Rick Steins fish chips looked very nice, the crunch of the batter suggested a quality portion fish chips and at 16 quid an acceptable price. I've had dearer although not take away. No doubt in high season prices jump up! Anyway enjoyable video look out for future editions.
Hi James, great video as usual. Any chance of telling me what kettle that is please? I need to buy one.
Thanks. It's a Navaris Compact Electric Travel Kettle from Amazon
Hi James great video as per usual love your content mate both you and Helen do a cracking job. I love Cornwall so really enjoyed this one I love your fish and chip reviews even if they do make me hungry lol. I watched one the other week and it really made me fancy fish and chips and I was going Chesterfield way so went to a chippy called Chesters have you ever been? I had fish chips and curry sauce I normally have cod but decided on haddock because it’s what you have so thought I’d give it a whirl. If you’ve never been to Chesters I’d recommend giving them a whirl 👍🏻 keep up the Awesome work both of you
Sorry I didn’t catch your name, that’s the first one of your videos I’ve seen and I have to say I really enjoyed it. I’ve subscribed to your channel now. I really like your plain and honest review and down to earth approach. I’ll be watching more.
He's called James 😁 H x
@@bythecurb Thanks Helen. Just been watching your trip to York last year when the river was flooding the King’s Arms. York is my home town, but I’ve lived in Scotland for many years now. 😄
I think most places will be out of season now, but Port Isaac (Port Wenn in Doc Martin) is quite nice.
Went have been down Cornwall a few times with our caravan staying at one near St Ives and it cost us over a £1000 for 10 days.
We then found places that you can rent and we stayed at a bungalow, two bedrooms, tow bathrooms, kitchen garage ETC and that was a £1000 for 2 weeks.
So that is what we do from now on and leave the caravan at home.
We stayed in Redruth which is in the middle part of Cornwall,.
but then all the coasts around were around 30 minutes away so it is well recommended.
If you haven't left Padstow? the blue building in the background 19:39 is a hatchery where they bring up baby lobsters to keep the population growing and you can visit that.
Another place to visit, but not sure if they do beer is 'Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm' where you can taste different varieties.
I would love to live in Cornwall, but at my age now, I don't think it is going to happen.
Great video and lots of memories for me (Albeit a lot warmer when we go).
Hey James they've done a cracking job on your little van mate...it's the ideal mobile home...and that panini doesn't look burnt to me mate..😋...I've only just got onto your vlogs ...great stuff!...and you 'n" Helen are perfect for each other....life's a laugh...that's what it's all about...good luck on your travels mate...and come back and see Liverpool again..👍🏻
Hello, love watching you and your wife on you tube, love the content. Fair play to you driving all that way on your own and back, hope you keep it going mate. Kind regards.
Love Cornwall, bit of a hike for us too from Essex.
Broke down outside Rick Steins last time we were there… in my Fiesta in amongst the Range Rovers & BMWs… sat with the bonnet up waiting for AA man, with our 2 spaniels in the back… oooh 😂😂
Helen is the best, people have always got to say something…
Have a safe trip… Lucy x
Fantastic Couple love your Vlogs . Keep them coming .
Love the content ❤
If you ever go to the Kent coast go to aussies fish and chips in tankerton near whitstable. Its the best I've ever had . You can sit in with a beer or takeaway
Daymer Bay. I also forget Charlestown, where they filmed Poldark. Hugs to you both
Nice humorous,genuine vlog. I did skip sections as 20 mins is generally long enough and it's aching someone eating is not for me. I'll take a look at others of yours. Haven't seen Hellen yet.
think you missed out on a brewery in Rock, any how as a yorkshire man living in newzealand great to see your channel and appreciate content , humor and reality, cheers
Just watched your video, the first of yours we have seen and liked it 👌
The best chippy in Cornwall is Gorran Haven.
The best pasties are at ChoughBakery in Padstow or from the butchers in Fowey.
We will be watching more of your videos . Enjoy Cornwall 🌞
I would like to see your vlog about Levant Tin Mine beam engine. Fred Dibnah has been there and its great.
Hi, James. If you get a chance, try a Cornish beer called "Proper Job", it's the best drink down there.
Next time you're in Scarborough, there's a fish and chip shop near Peasholm Park called, North Bay Fisheries, they are really nice. And Bridlington, there's a chippy near a pub called The Friendly Forester called 149, it's on Marton Road.
Keep up the good vlogging. 👍
Another brilliant vlog watch them cheeky seagulls James 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If the Minack theatre is still doing its free show describing the history of the place, it's really worth it. Also, a climb up to the lighthouse at Cape Cornwall, then drive to Mousehole for a drink in the Star pub.
There's no VAT on takeaway food but there is 20% VAT on food served at table. Your videos are always very interesting. good to see other parts of the country/world through your eyes. Thank you Correction, there is no VAT on COLD takeaway food, but there is 20% VAT on hot takeaway food
Another top vid mate. Be nice to see you in St. Ives.
They should be pretty fresh Haddock being on the sea front in Devon. But I’ve heard there nice there too n they do some nice sauces Another nice spot down there James is Salcombe especially in the summer when the Regatta is on
That was really fun. Thank you!
I've got an old cine film of me with my kids and ex wife, standing outside Rick Steins place...about 30 years ago.
We had a rather nice pasty from the bakers in Padstow.
And...a lovely boat trip out to a small island just off the Camel Estuary.
It's really beautiful down there in the summer James.
😊
Great video James. Helen your a lovely bubbly happy person, you are both always a pleasure to watch ❤ Beautiful place btw
Great choice of travel music🎵🎵
Padstow is pretty but I bet everywhere is expensive, not just rock stein's 😊 Doom bar's very popular darn sarth.
Great trip thank you 😀 Newquay is fab 😀
Dt Ives is beautiful but usually bedlam for parking.
For pasties go to Hayle - best pasties EVER and straight down the A30 💜
Regarding pasties, I found Philps pasties were amongst the best, there's a shop in Hayle on the river, it's en route to St Ives.
We used to live in Cornwall, near Mevagissey.
Nice vid James 😊👍😎
Top Video James!! Loved it. Padstow is on my list to do… get yourself to Port Isaac!! Absolutely stunning!! Stay safe mate and enjoy! ….. Smithy
Hi James I really enjoyed seeing Padstow, Cornwall is a place ive never been to. Helen is a good soul and salt of the earth, keeps you on your toes lol. You need to get yourself a woolly hat to keep you warm. Fish and chips looked tasty 😋 look forward to see where you head next 😊
Go to Gorran Haven and Mevagissey whilst down there. Lovely spots.
While down there you must go to the watering hole at perranporth! Best pub on the beach x
