Would you microwave a cup of tea after its gone cold? 🤔🤔
Often do I run an embroidery and print business mugs of tea go cold daily
Nope.
No i would drink it cold .
Absolutely not. It’s a travesty 😮
I often microwave a cup of coffee ... because I sometimes forget my coffeemaker , when I edit my own videos, or watching others ... same thing, no problem at all ! 30 sec or 1 min in the micro and it is as good as new 😊
When Winston had his spine operation they did not rebuild him, they built him better! Winston is bionic!!
I often joke and say he's like an Avenger 😅👍🏼🐶
an evil spell has disappeared all humans. The valiant Roz and Winston go on a quest to recover the magic glove to restore humanity.
😂😂 and I thought I had an imagination 😅 Sounds like the start to a D&D game
Love Winston and his clock work tail xxx
He's the star of the show 🐶😀
Always happy when a Roz vlog appears ! 👍 lost glove reminded me when I Was a kid and my mom stitched my gloves to my jacket so I wouldn't lose them 🤣🤣
I think I need to put my gloves on a string! 😅
Thanks so much for watching.
@@Roz.S lol we could start a new fashion trend !! Not !!! 👍👍🤣
Wow, I've watched a few of your episodes & recently came across them. Thoroughly enjoy your show & finally met Winston, how special getting a rescue & the bond between you two is incredible, he's adorable, keep sharing your adventures even tho looks freeeezing over there.
It’s still not warm over here, and it’s June!! 🙈😅 Thanks so much for watching. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying our videos. A new adventure series will be starting soon 👍🏼
Hi Roz, the first part of the video with the abandoned tractors and beams etc: did feel quite dystopian, sort of… “The Handmaid's Tale” till the excerpt of someone leaving the toilet seat up…Then we had “The Winston waggy tail” to restore the balance…Great vlog and the campsite not too expensive either!
That campsite was the cheapest of my trip, and it was lovely.
Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed the "balance" in my video 😅😅
Another masterpiece 🙂
Although it's nice to meet and greet people there's something magical about completing a walk without seeing another soul.
It is nice to feel as though you have the world to yourself. 😇
Thanks for watching.
Yes. Butter on Welsh cakes. Yum.
They did taste better with butter 😋
Have you seen the butter Roz has got, 1 lump or 2 !!😢
I like your comment that have your wishes come true and you're all alone.
I often think that and the obvious question of how would I manage on my own. I think I've read The Stand by Stephen King too many times. 😃😃😃
Winston's wee helicopter tail wag coming out the gate.. too cute 😊
He was raring to go 😅 Thanks for watching
You and Winston bound to be a thumbs up !
Thank you 👍🏼
That was spooky and we're safe at home. The machinery looked 👾. alien. Now you know why kids have gloves sewn onto sleeves😅 And just got to mention wasted cuppa😮 . Absolutely lovely to see you and adorable Winston, thanks for taking us along. ❤
I thought it was a bit spooky; it felt very weird.
I really should my gloves on strings 😅 Thanks so much for watching.
As a husband and wife we had planned to travel around the uk, pre COVID we were going to buy a motor home but then we decided to buy a caravan but due to a long history with prostate cancer that was being dealt with we didn’t do anything. He began to have heart problems, that were treated but 14 weeks post-op, he passed away, that week we put a deposit on a caravan that would suit our car because of the of the weight, unfortunately I became widowed, that week. I’m thinking of buying a vw van I admire you commitment and determination to travel. I hope over a period I will be able to achieve this. X
I am so sorry to hear about your loss and that you never got the chance to go caravan travelling with your husband, and I admire you for wanting to go solo. I wish you all the best on your future adventures and I'm sure your husband will be there with you in spirit. Thank you very much for watching my videos.
So sorry for your loss. I hope you can follow your dreams. 👍 ❤
Thank you . I’m going to the caravan sales where would of bought our caravan from because they have a vw camper and a ford and I want to see if I can test drive them. Wish me luck. 🤞
@@janewarburton8884 good luck Jane, hope all goes well. Please update us with your progress.👍❤.
😢
Welsh cakes are the best from a welsh fella 😊
They were rather tasty 😋
great vid as usual....cute as a button
Thanks for watching.
When you said about the construction, hanging people, I spat my drink out 😂😂😂😂
Haha, sorry! I don't know what else they could be used for 😅 and that's the first thing that came to my mind. 🙈
Have butter on your Welsh cake, 😊with a cup of tea.
They did taste much better with butter 👍🏼
Lovely quiet walk in the woods ( very quiet! ! ) you had the whole day to yourself. Winston’s tail never stops wagging . Thanks for sharing your adventures, but you can keep Winston’trump hahaha ,take care young lady 🐕🦺👍
Winston's trumps are silent but deadly 🐶🙈😅
Thanks so much for watching.
Just found the channel.Absolutely love it👍
Glad you’re enjoying it. Thanks so much for watching 👍🏼
I would recommend getting a hotel Chocolat velevetiser they come in very handy not just for making chocolate drinks but I also use mine to make coffee as well sadly I found some flavored sachet coffees don't seem to dissolve properly but in the velevetiser one smooth coffee also if my cup of tea gets cold (I've got a one cup water boiler) make sure no bag left in pour into velevetiser push button and it does the rest no waste.
For an old dog Winston is very sprightly.
Thanks for the tip! 👍🏼
Winston is doing great for his age 🐶 Always happy and full of life.
Thanks for watching.
Great video, Roz. Can’t beat a relaxing day just pottering, give the soul time to catch up. But microwaved tea? It’ll be air fried chips next😉 Cheers for taking us along, glad the weather’s improved.
Just got a mini airfryer for our next big trip 😂😂
I don't like wasting a good cup of tea 😅
Thanks so much for watching.
@@samuelbeckett4632 Yeah it's just another thing to carry though. And I don't use much gas anyway; 3.9kg lasts me about 6-months. I'm trying to travel with less, not more 😂
That water looked cold when you were paddling Winston, you brave wee dog.
Was that our Paddleboarding video on Windermere in the Lake District? That video was recorded last year just before summer, I think the temperature was about 20C. Quite warm, but a bit windy out on the lake.
Thanks so much for watching. 👍
Another entertaining vlog. Loved the design of the cup with Winston and yourself enjoying a peaceful environment. I now know why mittens used to be attached with string. Memories flooded back when you explained why you had the pod door open. Great stuff totally enthralled by your vlogs and can't wait for the next it looks like fun was had making it.
Thank you, the mug was a present from a friend.
I'm in my mid-30's and I think I need to put my gloves on a string 😅
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed that one, pod days and short walks are my favourite of your videos😃
Thank you. I thought that people might have found this video boring since we didn't go on a bit adventure.
What do you think Winston would say if he could talk."phew the boss has done it again"!,"if only I could open that door"works both ways😂😂😂
I'm sure his are worse than mine! 😅 Although, he does have a stronger sense of smell. 😅🐶
When he Trumps lol never heard that before, kinda fitting here with you know who 😅
Trump is a common name for farts here in the UK. I did giggle as a child when I very first heard the name Donald Trump 😅
@@Roz.S haha too funny 😅
I watch too many crime shows too i would've been concerned about the noose things too 😅..cool Old tractors. Never knew Mercedes made tractor..its my daughters name also 😊
Hangman gallows was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw them; I don't know what else they would be used for 😅🙈
Thanks for watching
Love your videos Roz &winston very entertaining ✌️
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
It is spooky to not see anyone then its also spooky to see someone 😅
Ohhh you're right. I think I would have been more freaked out if I did see another person 😅
@@Roz.S 😀
I’m always looking forward to see your videos. I like to watch the landscape with you and in a funny way it’s like I’m walking with you even tough I can’t. What struck me this time is that you went for a walk in the woods and then was surprised that you didn’t see anything else but threes😂😂. Your question about heating up the tea in the microwave, I saw the reviews and now do believe this isn’t British 😂, I’m Dutch so I don’t see the problem but you had a bit of comments about that. Thank you for yet another entertaining video. I love them.
I thought that if I went to the top of the hill, I would get to see above the trees, but nope. Just more trees 😂 I think I may lose my British Nationality over microwaving a cup of tea 😅🙈
Thanks for watching.
Always with scones butter AND jam - heaps !
Scones = jam first and then cream 👍
@@Roz.S don't forget the butter !
Evening Roz. Just watched your vlog glad your taking R&R days it can be exhausting work and travel and adventure... Winston looks very bouncy and happy on his walk ..
Stay safe be safe and see you next week. Frank Spain
I thought Winston might of been a little tired after our big hike the day before, but obviously not 😅
Thanks so much for watching.
Omg that’s one of my pet hates 🚽 seat 😠🤣 x
I only hate it when I don't notice beforehand and my backside falls into the bowl 😂
Great vid, Welsh cakes are so good with butter on them! That brew looked good too, a real builders brew. Watching you from our caravan whilst away in Shropshire, chilling out after a really stressful 6 months of family disasters, the caravan is really our only place we can chill out. Watching you and Winston helps too! Keep up the good work 👍
I agree, the Welsh cakes did taste better with butter.
Hope you're having a lovely time away and the weather is being kind to you. Thanks so much for watching.
Much as woodland is my favourite place to be, some woods are just spooky and I find that tends to be fir tree woodlands, not deciduous. But nice to have the walks to yourself; sometimes you just need no people to really switch off. Looks like a nice campsite too.
I did enjoy having the morning to myself, even if it was a bit spooky 😅
It was a nice campsite; the cheapest of my trip, too.
Thanks for watching.
Butter or jam not both lol they do vary some are quite dry , find some fresh baked ones 😋
Next time I visit Wales, I'll try to find a bakery 👍🏼😀
Welsh cakes are wonderful things to eat with a cup of coffee anytime at all 🏴 . We love them just as they are.
Nice video, glad you've enjoyed my home country.
Nos da Roz & Winston 😴
Happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Hello and hello, Oh I think you don't have to be afraid in the forest. Your Winston will be on the lookout in case someone is there. With tea that has become cold, you can of course warm it up, it's no problem or just drink it cold. Until last year we also went camping with a hobby caravan. But my health no longer allows it. Unfortunately. Have a good time and stay healthy, VG Oldie👍
Winston is the worst protection dog; he would be more scared than me 😅
Sorry to hear about your health, but I hope you had lots of adventures in your caravan.
Thanks so much for watching.
Another fantastic video..the welsh cake definitely needs butter on it..can't wait for the next episode. David
The welsh cakes did taste better with butter on 👍🏼
Thanks so much for watching.
The finest sous chef?
Great video Roz. The campsite looked very nice. I liked all of those pieces of machinery. Hope you and Winston are having a good week. 🙂
It was a lovely campsite, and the cheapest one of this trip.
Thanks so much for watching, I hope you are keeping well.
We loved it my wife said she'd be so easy to buy gifts for just gloves gloves and gloves
I honestly don't know how I've managed to keep this pair of gloves for so long! 😅 I frequently lose one (or both) but I always manage to find them again.
Thanks so much for watching.
I would have put the tea in a pan and heated it up(gently) Roz or just have it cold like an iced tea (with milk) but I'm a bit weird.😁I think our imagination goes into overdrive when we are alone and see things we consider odd, so you're not the only one!
I'm sure Winston cared not a jot when he was eating ham (his piggie).So glad you got a better day for your walk.See you on the next one.Safe travels.
I can't drink cold tea, so I resort to microwaving 🙈
I don't know what else those log structures would be used for? 🤔😅
Winston and I shared some crackling off a pork joint that I roasted the other day; he loves his piggie this way 😅
Thanks for watching.
Fancy wasting a brew. Lol. Could of spent age's looking at the equipment for logging. Caravan site looked excellent. Great watch yet again. Thanks Rozz and Winston 😊😊
I wonder how long those tractors have been there? 🤔
It was a lovely campsite, and the cheapest one of my trip.
Thanks for watching.
@@Roz.S I loved the Mercedes tractor. Stuff like that is so interesting. Pity nobody was around to ask about the logging operation. Take care and looking forward to the next adventure
Really enjoyed that vlog, Roz.
I’d love finding all that machinery in the woods and having a good nose around.
You have a very vivid imagination. Woodland gallows and the last woman on earth.
You really hit that reduced to clear section hard.
We’ll have to agree to disagree about the toilet seat😂
The machinery was an exciting find. I should have had a proper look around them, but I was afraid someone would jump out of the bushes 😅
I love the yellow sticker section; it's my first stop at any supermarket 😅👍 When I'm at home, I can freeze my yellow sticker buys until I want them, but when in the Pod, I need to eat all of my purchases 😅
Wait until you've fallen arse first down a toilet bowl, and you might change your mind 😂😂
Thanks for watching 👍
@@Roz.S as a bloke, it's a bit frustrating when you just want a wee and you get agro for any splashes in the seat. So you have to lift the seat up which means extra time and having to touch the seat. Then you have to remember to put it down.
I think it's the responsibility of the sit down wee-er to put the seat down when required. Just turn the light on and check the position of the seat before you sit down.
Yes, I've had this discussion before😂
@@matthewvaughan6327 I prefer the full seat down (top closed) when in the bathroom. When I go to the loo I lift the lid, sit and pee, drop the lid, and then flush. So, if both agree to keep the lid closes, then it's the same amount of work for both of us when going to the toilet. Failing that, you can have their own urinal put in the bathroom or just pee in the sink 😅😅
P.S. I didn't expect this discussion to go this far 😅
@@Roz.S sounds fair, Roz😂. Yes, of all the topics shown in the vlog, you wouldn't think the toilet seat would be the longest discussion😂
As usual Roz a great video, thanks for sharing. Yep, I would microwave the tea! It must be doubly tough when Winston trumps in the van if he fans it around with his tail hahaha! John B
Glad I'm not the only person that uses a microwave in this way! 🙌
I wish Winston's tail would blow it away! It sometimes lingers for too long! 😷
Thanks for watching.
As usual love Wales. Great video too. Nice when th ere aren't too many peeps about. We're over in the UK staying in rural Leices tershire surround by fields. Very few people around. Discovering the delights of Nordic hiking. Have you ever tried it? Might not be pr atic al with Winston. Sorry for.the typos. My Kindle Fire.is rubbish. 😂
😅 That message took me a while to decipher and I had to Google Nordic Hiking 😅 I would be open to trying it, but in general I like to have my hands free.
Thanks for watching and commenting, I hope you're having a wonderful time in Leics.
@@Roz.S I have back problems and a tendon issue in my left ankle. My wife suggested the nordic thing, but I didn't like the idea of looking like an old f**t walking with 2 sticks. Of course that is just plain stupidly on my part. The sticks really do help me to walk well and after about 20 mins I feel better and am not hobbling so much. So I'm converted. Trouble is, it will be impossible to walk Dolly our dog at the same time.
Bon continuation... 👍🏻
Enjoying your vidoes thank you for sharing
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for another great video Roz. Love it
I do think though it’s time you connected your gloves with some string and threaded them through your sleeves. 👍🏻
I think you are right! I'm forever losing them. I don't know how I've managed to keep them for so long 😅
Thanks for watching.
I had a little laugh when you thought you had walked to the hangmans gallows 😂 . Them welsh cakes look lush but i would have smootherd them with butter . Give Winston a hug from me . 👍
I can't think of what else they would be used for other than gallows! 🤔😅
I did but putter on the other welsh cakes; they tasted much better then!
Thanks for watching.
Do a out door fire with march mellows
Hi Roz, we have a 2018 Go Pod (which has an oven) for just over a year and used it a few times which have been brilliant. Our main complaint is the massive front cushion, getting things out of the front lock is quite tricky, have you heard of any solutions to this? Thanks and keep the videos coming.
Yes, the anything under the front seat is almost impossible to get to. I just recently had to battle with it when my bed slats got stuck. Tbh, I try not to store anything under the front seat for that very reason, however I do know other Pod people that have removed the hinges and they say that has made it easier. If you're on Facebook, join the group "Go Pod Owners (Go Podpals)," they often have creative solutions for problems such as this.
Hope that helps and thanks for watching our videos.
I have never put a cold cuppa in the microwave, I tend to drink them cold when I have forgotten about them.
Nope, I can't drink a cold cuppa 🙈😅
Just discovered your videos after discovering the go pod! Do you have any advice on where to go to see them in real life? / buy second hand?
You can see brand new pods at Red Lion Caravans in the North West of England, you’ll also be able to see them at a lot of caravan shows. You can also go into the Go Pod website and find “owner viewings” where you can put in your post code and it will show you your closest go pod owners that you can contact to have a look at their pod. When it comes to buying second hand, some are available at Red Lion and Three Shires Leisure, and also on the usual marketplaces such as Autotrader and EBay. Hope that helps.
It looks like an abandoned forestry commission forest!?
That’s a good shout 👍🏼
Thanks for watching
Farmers just leave it where they finished with it.
You know that it is really annoying when you go to the loo and find that someone has been really inconsiderate and put the loo seat down.
😂😂 but if you go to pee and find the seat down, the worst thing that's going to happen is that you're going to get a little bit of pee on the seat (if you have poor aim). If I go to pee and the seat has been left up, my arse falls down the bowl, my knees get squeezed up to my chest, and I get stuck. 😂😂
@@Roz.S I was drinking a cup of (non-microwaved) tea when I read that and you now owe me a new keyboard.
I'm sure that there are people out there who would pay good money to see that happen though. 😁
@@deanstuart8012@deanstuart8012 The worst is when that happens in the middle of the night, and it's dark and you're half asleep. It feels like someone has pulled a chair out from underneath you as you go to sit down 😅
I’m with you on this one Roz, couldn’t have said it better myself 😂. The ice cold ceramic at night adds to the shock!
@@andreathomson4376 😂😂 It definitely wakes you up! 😅
Have you tried making a pudding in the air fryer?
I haven't. What type of pudding are you talking about? Like a yorkshire pudding? Or like a cake?
@@Roz.S cake, like banana loaf - I've just tried the first one now using the air fryer but it did have a bake option.
Turned out very well. Though the banana's were at the wrong end of the ripeness scale...
@@muntusmaximus Not tried it in my air fryer. Although mine doesn't have a bake option. Might give it a go one day.
Enjoy your banana loaf 👍🏼
Seams such a waste when you feed dogs sliced meat as it just goes straight down without touching the sides. my dogs do exactly the same thing
I know what you mean; he doesn't even taste it!! 😱 But I wouldn't of been able to eat all of it on my own along with all the other food, and I did buy it reduced with him in mind 😇
Thanks for watching.
🖐🫠🫠👍👍👍👏❤❤
😀
You should stich some cord to your gloves and run the cord through the sleeves...haha you look like a one year old but you wil never loose your gloves again....lol
I am in my mid-30s, but I do think I need my gloves on a string. I am forever losing them! 😅🙈
Put it in a own and warm it up come on girl use Ur loaf ..
Do you mean oven? I don’t have an oven in the pod. Only a gas hob.
That whole set up you found yourself in reminds of a horror film “The Hills Have Eyes” creepy! With regards to glove situation you owt to do what mum did for me, attach string to both gloves run the string through the arms!!!! Just a thought!!😂😂
I think I do need my gloves on a string, even though I'm in my mid-30s 😅
Thanks for watching.
Your RUclips adventures with that love little guy Winston are really good please keep going! And remember come up to Cumbria!!??
