🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Well "Gooday" BEANS! Love the UK .... my Ancestral Home ! Granddad, the 6+ one left Preston, Lancashire, in 1834 met his Irish lass, married and started our Australian family, (on my Dad's.) Just made it out of England in March 2020 before we locked down. Meant to come back August to organise a 60 birthday ! So very keen to come back to my second home !
Cheers guys 👍 I've been to Exmoor. Stunning place! And as a fellow Brit, I too can confirm what you said about how we like to moan. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS BLOODY WIFI 😂
Cornbeef Hash: 1 tin cornbeef , 2 carrots sliced, 1 large onion finely diced, 2 potatoes diced, 1 beef oxo cube. 2 - 3 teaspoons bistro gravy granules. 1 - 1 1/2 pints water. Method: add onions, carrots, potatoes and most of water to pan, boil gently until all veg are soft. Add oxo cube and can of cornbeef. Gently simmer do no over stir. Then add gravy granules and more water if required as there should be a thick ish gravy. You decide how much water you prefer. To bulk out, this recipe 2 good quality sausage could be added for extra flavour browned in pan first before starting veg. Then just slice sausage and start the recipe. Hope you try and enjoy, good source of iron from cornbeef. ❤️
Fave one pot meal.. xx cook up a spag bog mix - however you normally do it Once cooked, pop into a large place (or whatever plate you will end up eating from) Grab yourself some fajita breads and a bag of grated mozzarella, Then start layering like a lasagne - spag big mix - cheese - fajita - repeat. Lid on and leave on low for a bit to let everything mix up Then slice like a cake and eat :) Yum yum :) Fellow camping Brit - I can cope with any weather apart from the in between stuff !!!! Give me howling winds and thunder and lightning- but who needs drizzle !!! No one !!! Love ya both x
I love seeing the English countryside and all of those quaint little towns. When we were camping we would make “omlettes” in plastic zipper bags. You have to use a larger size because the bag is thicker. We would crack a couple of eggs into the bag and mush it all up. Then we would add our fillings of choice like maybe onions, cheese, mushrooms, ham, etc. Then you place the bottom of the bag with the egg mixture into a pot of boiling water until the egg is cooked. You can eat out of the bag. Only dishes to clean is the silverware and you already have hot water from the pit the eggs were cooked in 👍🏼
That beef stroganoff looked easy & delicious! Bravo 👏🏻💜❤️ I love ❤️ watching all of your adventures. You find the good in everything. Complaining is part of life but you do it with class! Have a fabulous day, From Northern Virginia, next to Washington DC
Kara's peanut butter Ramen 1 Onion 1 green or red pepper 16oz mushrooms 2 cups of broth three Tbl spoons peanut butter ramen noodles cayenne pepper salt start by sautéing the diced onion, then pepper, then sliced mushrooms, add the broth and season, add the peanut butter and ramen noodles. If you have problems finding ramen noodles, buy 4-5 of the cheap instant ramen bowls and just take the noodles for your dish. Let it all cook until the noodles are done and eat! Love you guys. PS Garlic, I forgot four-five garlic cloves finely chopped.
When Alex said his breakfast sandwich was so beige I about died laughing. I often think that about our favorite winter comfort foods like chicken pot pie and sausage gravy and biscuits.
We Dutch have similar weather and a similar love of complaining about it 😂 When it rains my husband let's me know about 50 times a day how miserable the day is. But in summer he complains it's too hot! My go to one pot meal: chop garlic (lots) and 1 yellow onion, sauté with lots of olive oil, chuck in 500 gr of washed risotto rice, add chopped courgette (we do 3) and ham cubes(250gr?), add boiled/hot water until covered. Keep at a soft boil and stir now and then until water is almost gone, add more water if risotto needs it, when done add lots and lots of (goat) cheese, mix well and enjoy. It looks like mush but tastes great!
No way to be remotely sad watching your videos!! Maybe before watching but never after…so delightful being allowed in to see a truly joyous couple! Ofcourse, laughter is like a medicine…no doubt that’s why y’all are continuously healthy! Thankful for this spoonful of medicine today!!
Ahh Gwen! That’s such a lovely thing to say 💛 thank you! It makes us so happy to hear that our videos can bring a smile to your face 🥰 thank you for your lovely comment and for watching!
For someone like me who cannot afford to travel abroad, i get to see those wonderful places through your videos. Thank you for sharing for experiences. I really adore your vlog. God bless and safe travel always.
Alex you are lucky to have Emma as your partner. She laughs easily 😂 Your videos are a joy to watch!. How perfectly suited to each other you seem! I wish you both health and happiness 😊
Love your videos so much, lots of lovely laughter and honesty. I love the idea of a beige sandwich, I know exactly what you mean!! I really love Clovelly, the sleighs are for the residents to fetch their shopping and transport things up and down as cars aren't allowed. Apparently they used to be pulled by donkeys but that's no longer the case. (By the way I believe it's pronounced Clo Velly not Clover lee lol). Keep up the good work, so many great adventures to come and, soon, a lovely new bean to join in with them 🥰
I love Low Key Beans, when you play that smooth Jazz and just be domestic. AND We adore it when you complain because it makes you so British and shows you are real and most likely just like us. Love you Beans and that cute Baby Bump is killing me.
With both of you laughing all the time, I bet your baby will be born laughing, no crying. Lol. It will be wonderful to have you both as parents. Will you adopt me. Lol.
Really enjoy your content, you two are just lovely together , and yep too much dreary weather wears on the body and mind and spirit- I have to actively cultivate joy by literally imagining the feeling of joy! (complaining doesn't do it for this American) however, Alex if you make this dish for Emma, I predict you BOTH will be experiencing a lot of joy!!! 😉😂 Brazilian cod (fish) Stew Recipe - 🌸1 1/2 to 2 lbs of fillets of firm white fish such as halibut, swordfish, or cod, rinsed in cold water, pin bones removed, cut into large portions- I have also used salmon 🌸3 cloves garlic, minced 🌸4 Tbsp lime or lemon juice (used to soak fish in before cooking but also a total must during serving!) 🌸Salt & Freshly ground black pepper 🌸Olive oil 🌸1 cup chopped spring onion with the greens, or 1 medium yellow onion, chopped or sliced 🌸1/2 yellow and 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded, de-stemmed, chopped (or sliced) 🌸2 cups chopped (or sliced) tomatoes 🌸1 Tbsp paprika (Hungarian sweet) 🌸Pinch red pepper flakes 🌸1 large bunch of cilantro, chopped with some set aside for garnish 🌸1 14-ounce can full fat coconut milk directions: In a large covered pan (such as a Dutch oven), coat the bottom with about 2 Tbsp of olive oil and heat on medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook a few minutes, Add the bell pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and onion greens. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, uncovered. Stir in the chopped cilantro. Lay the fish pieces on the vegetables, Pour coconut milk over the fish and vegetables. Bring soup to a simmer, reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes. add more salt (likely), lime or lemon juice, paprika, pepper, or chili flakes to get the soup to the desired seasoning for your taste. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice or with crusty bread, or since I am low carb I add in riced cauliflower, which can be added with the onions and peppers- this is a very tasty dish that is super nutrient dense & I never tire of the taste😋
I loved seeing the English countryside, absolutely amazing! And I wished that I were sitting there in that little pub having biscuits & tea, in front if a fireplace on a chilly winters day! I could have spent all day there! But, I can’t imagine paying to enter a town, how un-hospitable!
Greek beef stew (stifado) You can look up a recipe but it is basically a stew with pearl onions, tomato, red wine, garlic , allspice and serve over mashed potatoes. You can use any meat the name in Greek means game stew. The onions take out any gamey taste
We're not sadd, We're going to Mexico tomorrow... if our flights okay...and they don't lose our bags! Wife and I always look forward to watching you Beans every Monday night.
Try some scouse lad a Liverpool staple look it up on the tube on how to make it but only use proper stewing steak an a little kidney you will love it one pot meal great show you guys keep it up 👍
I'm pretty sure it's the lack of vitamin D. Over cast winters often made me miserable. But during the pandemic doctors encouraged taking vitamin D for immunity and inflammation benefits. Now with vitamin D 10,000 IU I'm happy every day no matter what the weather. Try it, prove me wrong Alex!!! That's a challenge for you mate.
AG1 Should help with that too as they apparently give you a years worth of Vitamin D - but remember your body cannot absorb it without A And K very key elements there people don't know or forget
I agree!! My dr even thought I was anemic by my symptoms and appearance. Nope! Vitamin D deficiency! Got on a high dose regimen and never felt so good in my life!
I live in Perth Australia. It has the most sunshine of all major cities in Australia. Over 300 days a year. So a cloudy, wet, cold day looks beautiful. I yearn for that weather.
You two are so much fun! And it's so nice to hear British English. I am Belgian, but my late dad was from Oxford, married my Belgian mom and lived here in Belgium for most of his life. I was thus raised bilingually (Dutch/English), so proper (British) English will always be my favourite 😊 Mind you, I have also lived 7 years at the Arctic Circle in Finland (Rovaniemi) and 7 years in Odessa, Ukraine. The stupid war forced me to come back to my home country Belgium. Not regretting it though, I have certainly found a second love for Belgium again ❤ As for one pot recipes, one thing I always loved was a mix of all kinds of stuff: Boil chopped up chicken breasts with some bouillon cubes, and add some pasta (I love the spirellis). Add some diced up potatoes as well. After a bit, you can add whatever else you like. I used to add onion, garlic, mushrooms, carrots, peas. Spice it up with some curry. When it's all tender, add cream and/or flour to make the liquid thicker. And enjoy! I loved this during Winter time 😊😋
They say : "You can never go home again ". In your case Alec and Emma, it's the van. It gave you an opportunity to reconnect with family and familiar terrain. It's not always about the weather. You asked if we had any suggestions for one pot dinner recipes. The simplest is stir fry anything you have available and add some of your favorite oil and spices. Well done Alec for the wonderful meal you made. Harriet and I never miss a video. Sending much love 🙏❤🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
Clovelly is so pretty but so steep to walk back up. The sledges are used to put their bins out as no bin lorry will fit down the street, so they have to pull their rubbish up to the top.
I can’t believe you’re not even at 300K subs yet. My goodness, your videos are funny, informative, educational, and just a darn good time. You two are so sweet together. Keep the videos coming. Can’t wait till the littlest bean arrives!
Another awesome video. You three are so much fun! Here ya go.... A few one pot/skillet meals. Sweet Potato Hash: In a large skillet, saute some diced or chopped sweet potato in olive oil until nearly but not quite fork tender. Then add some chopped onion , garlic, and zuchini and continue to saute with sweet potato until done and nearly caramelized. Add salt, pepper, and cumin then add some ground chorizo sausage or whatever sausage you've got and sear it off good. Push everything to one side of the skillet , lop in a little butter and crack a few eggs into the pan to fry. Mix it all up, toss in some cheese if you like and a splash of Cholula Hot Sauce. Smashing! Ribollita (Peasant Stew): Chop a couple carrot, an onion and a couple stalks of celery and toss in a pan with some olive oil to saute until translucent. Toss in a can of crushed tomatoes, a can of drained cannellini beans, some chicken broth or stock, a small wedge of parmesan, pepper, dried basil and oregano. Add some torn kale and crusty bread. Delish and so comforting! Posh Beans on Toast: To a pan add olive oil and butter, then add some broad beans or lima beans, peas, pearl onions, a little chopped garlic, a squeeze of lemon, some chopped parsley and green onion for flavor and color. Spoon onto a slice of crusty bread and crumble some feta over the beans. For Alex: Slap another piece of crusty bread on top and you've got a post beans on toast sandwich! lol Enjoy and as always, safe travels Beans! My best, LIsa G.
In that private village you are exactly right about the sleds they're for goods because it's so steep and cobbley and the fee is the control over tourism is the summer
Here in Astoria Oregon on the coast we get a lot of grey,wet,gloomy days too, but when the sun is out, it's glorious! You two crack me up. Taco soup is good. 💜💙
We visited Clovelly many years ago, at that time there was no admission fee. It is such a beautiful little village, we have two prints hanging on our living room wall called “up along Clovelly” and “down along Clovelly”. Brings back great memories of that charming village.
"hamburger soup": brown some ground meat and onion, add broth (chicken, veggie, etc), add a bag of frozen veggies, whatever herbs you want (I usually use thyme and bay leaf...I'd add thyme to just about anything if I were allowed), add a can of diced tomatoes...let simmer til veggies are the consistency you want).
I’ve seen the sledges being used by the locals in Clovelly on TV. Everything is brought in and out by sledge - even the rubbish. So eco friendly 😊🥰🏴
Oh yes, and a one pot meal…lentil stew is one of my favorites…add onion, garlic, herbs and seasoning, potatoes, carrots, or any veg you really like and to make it really thick and rich add bovril or marmite with a splash of vinegar at the end; can also have with rice (but then is 2 pots 😕) hope that inspires…😉
One pot meals?? Ramen is the ultimate! Buy a good quality ramen like Shin Ramen and then you can supplement with any leftover veggies, proteins and eggs cooked right into the broth. ANYTHING goes with ramen. You can't beat it for convenience, transport and preparation. The possibilities are endless. Oh and if you're worried about sodium content, just add more veggies into the mix and less of the seasoning packet. Taste as you go. It is so yummy and versatile. It never ceases to amaze me that a woman's body is capable of producing and carrying another life. Women were born to sacrifice and nurture. Emma, you are amazing!!!! Stay safe!!!!!
Your mushroom stroganoff looked delicious. A dish that I find fairly quick and easy to prepare and cook is bacon tagliatelle. It needs two pans though to cook the pasta separately to the rest but it only takes about 15 minutes to cook and ten minutes to prepare the ingredients 4 slices of bacon sliced and diced , frozen bacon is easier to cut as it’s not slimy. A couple of teaspoons of green pesto , a clove of garlic chopped, half a yellow or red pepper sliced into small pieces. A couple of sliced mushrooms. Half a pot of crème Fraiche, and some grated Parmesan cheese to stir into the sauce. Fry the bacon off with chopped garlic then add the mushrooms and peppers and cook until soft. Stir in a couple of teaspoons of green pesto and cook through until the pesto is cooked into the ingredients. In a separate pan boil 4 bundles of tagliatelle for around 12 minutes with a pinch of salt to season. A few minutes before the pasta is ready boil some frozen garden peas in the same pot as the tagliatelle or cook in the pan with the bacon and other ingredients. Carefully stir in half a pot of crème fraiche but don’t let it get really hot or it will split. Add the cooked pasta and stir to cover it with sauce and serve. Also add some grated Parmesan to the sauce and stir in to melt. Quick and tasty food and cheap to make
my current favorite (very simple, but very delicious & affordable) one pot meal: sauté chopped onion + chopped poblano pepper in a little coconut oil. Add garlic powder + ginger powder. Then add the flavor pack from one package of ramen (my favorite is soy sauce flavor.) Add chopped bell pepper + chopped tomato. Next, add the noodles from the package of ramen and water - not completely covering the ramen, just covering it about half way. Cook with the lid on over medium heat. Stir the noodles around after a couple minutes so both sides get submerged in water (they come apart easily after cooking for a little bit.) Next, add two slices of swiss cheese (I use dairy-free cheese, but I’m sure regular swiss cheese or any cheese you have on hand would be great.) Finally, stir in some garlic chili sauce and serve sprinkled with chopped green onions - seriously so easy and creamy and packs so much flavor!
Hi beans, the one stop for curry and a beer in toilet was hilarious. 🤣 A huge pan of stew is good, lasts a few days and tastes better the next day. Winter time I'm OK if it's cold, frosty or snow just not crazy about the rain. Yet summertime it's nice when it rains now and then. 🤣 and cools down. In uk we talk a lot about the weather. ❤
I love how much you too laugh with each other, I'm on my own now with 3 kids but watching you guys and some of my other favourite you tube couples really does make me smile!
Recipe please! That meal looked delish. Getting recipes from your subscribers is an excellent idea. It would be a great segment to your travel series. I suggest you watch the RUclipsr channel MAV that is also an outdoor/camping series. He also cooks meals on his channel inside his camper van and tries recipes his fans send in. I recommend an Instant Pot if you have the room. Love your channel BTW.
I love how your always laughing and find Joy in the little things. One pot meal I love is Polish sausage sauté in a pan cut up potatoes put those in the pan open two or three cans of green beans put those in the pan and left and simmer and pepper Delicious. Enjoy
Had the pleasure of visiting Clovelly with my best friend many years ago. That walk is a real workout. I believe the sleds outside the cottages were meant to be pulled by donkeys. Beautiful village. You two are adorable and I enjoy watching from Ontario, Canada.
I lived in Seattle for 22 years. My depression was horrible. I now travel full time to follow the weather in the US. I'm fortunate that I don't have to go far to find dependable sunshine. I think having sense of humor, as you both do, helps with not letting the gray weather get to you. Love your channel!
One pot meal- can of pork n beans, 1/4 cup ketchup,1/4 cup brown sugar, dash mustard,2 cut up hotdogs. Mix all together and cook in a pot til heated up good and enjoy. Crackers are good with it.
The Mediterranean Dish has an amazing Turkish red lentil soup, easily done in one pot. I made a lot of substitutions, based on what I had, including onion for a large shallot, sweet potato for regular potato, and a spice-ish turkish spice mix for the aleppo pepper. Add in some crusty bread, and OMG, it's delish!
Peanut butter chicken! 1 onion 2 cloves of garlic Chicken thighs Bouquet garni Bay leaves Tomato paste Chopped tomatoes Peanut butter Sauté onion and garlic then add chicken thighs until lightly browned. Add tomato purée, bouquet garni, bay leaves and chopped tomatoes then cook on low/medium heat. When cooked through slightly shred the chicken thighs and add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter then just add the rice ! Total comfort food in one pot 😋 Love your videos and here’s to many more 😊
You should walk to Baggy point in that part of the coast. I absolutely love camping in the rain, researching or reading fiction with the rain pattering on canvas, steel or fibreglass. It’s so relaxing, the same walking with a good umbrella. I don’t like hot sticky days too hot to do anything. Fajitas can be great to make in one pot, take jars of soured cream guacamole and salsa either home made or shop bought. Place plates instead of pan lids and heat the wraps between them, one up one down. Just need peppers, onions and whatever else you want to make vegetable or meat derived versions. Take pre mixed spices.
One pot meals my favourite. Always start with onions, garlic add meat, tofu of choice, throw in some diced vegis, salt, pepper, curry, herbs, seasonings. Add boiled pasta, simmer. My favourite lately is spicy Italian sausage, take off the casing, then add pieces of the sausage to your onion and garlic, go from there.🇨🇦❤️add some white wine or vegi stock for a bit of liquid if needed.
Right Alex, as you asked I have a meal that is easy to prepare, easy to cook and maybe not so easy on Emma's internals and it is this : Buy a Turnip (Neep) , skin it and cut into smallish chunks and boil in salted water for about an hour till soft. But that is not the meal side of it, as you need 2 bowls or Pyrex deep dishes and into them large spoon 3 spoonful's of Rough Oatmeal. Add salt and black Pepper for taste, give it a swish round and ladle off as much of the turnip bree as you want. The more you have, the better the meal is. Stirring continuously so there are limited lumps , when the bree turns cloudy, spoon into your gobs and feel the heat internally slide down to your gullets. And that is it 2 satisfied well fed adults and the Neeps can be used for another meal the next night with dare I say sausages and mash or an alternative !!
Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Hi Beans and Baby B 😃, Oh I just Love you two , Happy no matter what 😂😂, even with Al's huma 😂😂😂🤣 Take Care Beans , look after her Al 😂😂❤️
i always smile and feel happy when i see you have uploaded your next vlog whatever the weather is outside.... I'm from Yorkshire and live in Greece.... It's very cold here now in Athens and we're expecting snow this next weeekend!..... the difference is that whatever the weather ...we can depend on a hot summer🙂 take care and it was lovely to see a part of England I'm unfamiliar with.... and i agree you can always depend on a pub !
First time watching your videos sharing van life…I almost bought a narrowboat until an awful survey scuppered that…now looking at vans instead as another option…very funny and entertaining, thanks 😌🙏
I am Really happy to see you again in this amazing video, I can’t believe you are going to be parents!! So happy for you!! Best Wishes from Colombia!!!
Thank you for another great video, makes me want to visit the English countryside. My daughter had her baby 12 days ago. I am continuing my o pray fir your little Bean to be super healthy. Yes, I have one. white chili! You can make it with chicken or even just vegetarian, you can add cilantro or curly parsley, and use whatever beans you like. You can had the same rice that you used for your stroganoff, or make it with potatoes! Enjoy. A bientôt ❤
The weather plays a huge part in how your day is. Here in Washington state during the winter it is the same way as the UK, but the veiws and amazing camping is well worth it.
Beef stew is always a good one pot meal. Mac n Cheese (but you can add veg to it) If you have a sauté pan you could always do a stir fry. You could probably do this in a pot. I’ve just never tried that method. I like making cashew chicken: diced up boneless chicken thigh / breast Thinly sliced carrots Onion (white) - cut into bite size chunks Celery cut into 1/2 inch pieces (I also use the leaves) Minced garlic (2 cloves and of course use more / less depending on how garlicky you like stuff) Green bell pepper, cut into bite size chunks Sauté the veg in some neutral oil (like canola). Toss in the chicken. Add some soy sauce and black pepper. If you want heat, throw in a little diced red chili OR shake in some crushed red pepper. Make a corn starch slurry…a little warm water mixed with a spoonful (or two) of cornstarch. It’ll help thicken the juices in the pot / pan. When everything is nearly done, toss in some crushed cashews. I usually get the whole cashews with pieces and put them in a zip bag…then lightly tap with the full end of a knife. Can leave some whole if like. Lastly, taste it and adjust seasoning as needed.
I live in Somerset and have an 8 month old boy. I recommend walking all of the costal path from Minehead up to the Valley of the rocks it's unbelievable. I only explored there after lockdown. Maybe not recommended heavily pregnant though lol saying that I walked up cheddar gorge in my third trimester and was fine haha
I absolutely get affected by the weather here in the west of Ireland in winter... wake up and see sunlight and..wow ..energy and the winter landscape is so clear and it's more beautiful than in Summer. Wake up and see dull grey cloudy sky, that sheet of gentle Irish rain blown sideways past the window by a gale force wind ..and knowing that grey sky will shorten the already shortmid winter day.. and the energy saps right from one before the kettle's even boiled.. ah well then it's, on with wellies and the raincoat .. and who knows, tomorrow might be sparkling clear and beautiful again... oh the joy of anticipation and living in hope .. it's worth it! 🤣🤭🥰
We here in the Pacific Northwest in USA have the same weather and reactions to it. Except that if we have dry sunny weather for too many weeks, we start whining about drying out and blowing away. Plus if the temperature goes over 80-85F we are melting and non-functional. 🥵 Love your videos. Stay safe and warm.
Beautiful coastline! It reminds me of the Atlantic Canadian coastlines. Rugged beauty. And similar wet, maritime weather at certain times of the year. And the grey days certainly can lower the your energy levels. Those are definitely curl up by the fire, cook some warming meals and enjoy a cuppa hot tea days!
When you live in a part of a country that doesn’t see a whole lot of rain and too much drought you absolutely learn to love the rainy days and appreciate them so much. I adore wet cool days
"It tastes so beige." You crack me up. My laugh scared my kitty. Thanks for what you do and how you do it. And yes I am 100% affected by the weather. I live in the Pac NW US. Yuk.
One pot meals are great. For the carb part of the meal, try wraps, cous cous (just boil a kettle), cook pasta in your one pot before cooking the main course then pour on boiling water and drain just before serving - same with rice and boiled potatoes.

Alex & Emz are you guys going to start up some kind of Baby shower donation thingy I’m sure many of us would like to help out the New Parents & Bubs ❤
Alex you need cornflour to thicken the stroganoff 😂
Ok cancel that the rice did it 😂
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Well "Gooday" BEANS!
Love the UK .... my Ancestral Home !
Granddad, the 6+ one left Preston, Lancashire, in 1834 met his Irish lass, married and started our Australian family, (on my Dad's.)
Just made it out of England in March 2020 before we locked down.
Meant to come back August to organise a 60 birthday !
So very keen to come back to my second home !
Cheers guys 👍 I've been to Exmoor. Stunning place! And as a fellow Brit, I too can confirm what you said about how we like to moan. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS BLOODY WIFI 😂
Cornbeef Hash: 1 tin cornbeef , 2 carrots sliced, 1 large onion finely diced, 2 potatoes diced, 1 beef oxo cube. 2 - 3 teaspoons bistro gravy granules. 1 - 1 1/2 pints water. Method: add onions, carrots, potatoes and most of water to pan, boil gently until all veg are soft. Add oxo cube and can of cornbeef. Gently simmer do no over stir. Then add gravy granules and more water if required as there should be a thick ish gravy. You decide how much water you prefer. To bulk out, this recipe 2 good quality sausage could be added for extra flavour browned in pan first before starting veg. Then just slice sausage and start the recipe.
Hope you try and enjoy, good source of iron from cornbeef. ❤️
Emma giggles so much even when depressed.
Yes, at every single thing Alex says!😂
Sorry, but wait until labor starts....rrrrrr
Nine months of hearing endless laughing and little new bean should be a very happy bean.
Big like 👍. Very entertaining video 📹 to watch.
Fave one pot meal.. xx cook up a spag bog mix - however you normally do it
Once cooked, pop into a large place (or whatever plate you will end up eating from)
Grab yourself some fajita breads and a bag of grated mozzarella,
Then start layering like a lasagne - spag big mix - cheese - fajita - repeat. Lid on and leave on low for a bit to let everything mix up
Then slice like a cake and eat :)
Yum yum :)
Fellow camping Brit - I can cope with any weather apart from the in between stuff !!!! Give me howling winds and thunder and lightning- but who needs drizzle !!! No one !!!
Love ya both x
I love seeing the English countryside and all of those quaint little towns. When we were camping we would make “omlettes” in plastic zipper bags. You have to use a larger size because the bag is thicker. We would crack a couple of eggs into the bag and mush it all up. Then we would add our fillings of choice like maybe onions, cheese, mushrooms, ham, etc. Then you place the bottom of the bag with the egg mixture into a pot of boiling water until the egg is cooked. You can eat out of the bag. Only dishes to clean is the silverware and you already have hot water from the pit the eggs were cooked in 👍🏼
Problem with this is the plastic leeches chemicals and int good for you!!!
Alex. That dinner even looked lovely.... Well done you....
That beef stroganoff looked easy & delicious! Bravo 👏🏻💜❤️
I love ❤️ watching all of your adventures. You find the good in everything. Complaining is part of life but you do it with class!
Have a fabulous day,
From Northern Virginia, next to Washington DC
I can relate being from New England same crap weather in winter 😂
Kara's peanut butter Ramen
1 Onion
1 green or red pepper
16oz mushrooms
2 cups of broth
three Tbl spoons peanut butter
ramen noodles
cayenne pepper
salt
start by sautéing the diced onion, then pepper, then sliced mushrooms, add the broth and season, add the peanut butter and ramen noodles.
If you have problems finding ramen noodles, buy 4-5 of the cheap instant ramen bowls and just take the noodles for your dish.
Let it all cook until the noodles are done and eat!
Love you guys.
PS Garlic, I forgot four-five garlic cloves finely chopped.
You forgot a crap ton of chopped cilantro too... she adds tons of that....
That’s the first thing that came to my mind too!
@@Kiwi91663 What's that called in Europe?
Not before a date or time with someone who's not just eaten garlic unless one wants to split up or sleep in a separate room.
Cilantro is “fresh Koriander” in Europe!
When Alex said his breakfast sandwich was so beige I about died laughing. I often think that about our favorite winter comfort foods like chicken pot pie and sausage gravy and biscuits.
I'd love a breakfast sandwich like that
Sausage gravy and biscuits is great any day!
We Dutch have similar weather and a similar love of complaining about it 😂 When it rains my husband let's me know about 50 times a day how miserable the day is. But in summer he complains it's too hot! My go to one pot meal: chop garlic (lots) and 1 yellow onion, sauté with lots of olive oil, chuck in 500 gr of washed risotto rice, add chopped courgette (we do 3) and ham cubes(250gr?), add boiled/hot water until covered. Keep at a soft boil and stir now and then until water is almost gone, add more water if risotto needs it, when done add lots and lots of (goat) cheese, mix well and enjoy. It looks like mush but tastes great!
No way to be remotely sad watching your videos!! Maybe before watching but never after…so delightful being allowed in to see a truly joyous couple! Ofcourse, laughter is like a medicine…no doubt that’s why y’all are continuously healthy! Thankful for this spoonful of medicine today!!
Ahh Gwen! That’s such a lovely thing to say 💛 thank you! It makes us so happy to hear that our videos can bring a smile to your face 🥰 thank you for your lovely comment and for watching!
Agree , agree, agree
Clovelly wasn't always chargeable. I went in the 90's and we never paid. They had donkeys walking up and down the cobblestone hills.
The Bay of Fundy by Nova Scotia has some pretty high tides. Probably the number 1 you mentioned in Canada.
I love that you don't hide the bad stuff from us. Being transparent is always the way to go.
Also, I've never seen click bait with you two.
Oooh - I'm not sure that some of Alex's historic choices of photos of Emma almost disrobed wouldn't qualify ?! 😜
For someone like me who cannot afford to travel abroad, i get to see those wonderful places through your videos. Thank you for sharing for experiences. I really adore your vlog. God bless and safe travel always.
Just a fab , heart warming couple and you make me laugh out loud xxxx
Alex you are lucky to have Emma as your partner. She laughs easily 😂 Your videos are a joy to watch!. How perfectly suited to each other you seem! I wish you both health and happiness 😊
Love your videos so much, lots of lovely laughter and honesty. I love the idea of a beige sandwich, I know exactly what you mean!! I really love Clovelly, the sleighs are for the residents to fetch their shopping and transport things up and down as cars aren't allowed. Apparently they used to be pulled by donkeys but that's no longer the case. (By the way I believe it's pronounced Clo Velly not Clover lee lol). Keep up the good work, so many great adventures to come and, soon, a lovely new bean to join in with them 🥰
I love Low Key Beans, when you play that smooth Jazz and just be domestic.
AND We adore it when you complain because it makes you so British and shows you are real and most likely just like us.
Love you Beans and that cute Baby Bump is killing me.
With both of you laughing all the time, I bet your baby will be born laughing, no crying. Lol. It will be wonderful to have you both as parents. Will you adopt me. Lol.
Even those of us in the US are affected by gray, misty, miserable days. Sunshine just makes you feel better!
You need to get a pressure cooker and an airfryer. One pot wonders those are. We have both in our trailer and don't use anything else.
Really enjoy your content, you two are just lovely together , and yep too much dreary weather wears on the body and mind and spirit- I have to actively cultivate joy by literally imagining the feeling of joy! (complaining doesn't do it for this American) however, Alex if you make this dish for Emma, I predict you BOTH will be experiencing a lot of joy!!! 😉😂
Brazilian cod (fish) Stew Recipe - 🌸1 1/2 to 2 lbs of fillets of firm white fish such as halibut, swordfish, or cod, rinsed in cold water, pin bones removed, cut into large portions- I have also used salmon
🌸3 cloves garlic, minced
🌸4 Tbsp lime or lemon juice (used to soak fish in before cooking but also a total must during serving!)
🌸Salt & Freshly ground black pepper
🌸Olive oil
🌸1 cup chopped spring onion with the greens, or 1 medium yellow onion, chopped or sliced
🌸1/2 yellow and 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded, de-stemmed, chopped (or sliced)
🌸2 cups chopped (or sliced) tomatoes
🌸1 Tbsp paprika (Hungarian sweet)
🌸Pinch red pepper flakes
🌸1 large bunch of cilantro, chopped with some set aside for garnish
🌸1 14-ounce can full fat coconut milk directions:
In a large covered pan (such as a Dutch oven), coat the bottom with about 2 Tbsp of olive oil and heat on medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook a few minutes, Add the bell pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and onion greens. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, uncovered. Stir in the chopped cilantro. Lay the fish pieces on the vegetables, Pour coconut milk over the fish and vegetables. Bring soup to a simmer, reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes. add more salt (likely), lime or lemon juice, paprika, pepper, or chili flakes to get the soup to the desired seasoning for your taste.
Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice or with crusty bread, or since I am low carb I add in riced cauliflower, which can be added with the onions and peppers-
this is a very tasty dish that is super nutrient dense & I never tire of the taste😋
I loved seeing the English countryside, absolutely amazing! And I wished that I were sitting there in that little pub having biscuits & tea, in front if a fireplace on a chilly winters day! I could have spent all day there!
But, I can’t imagine paying to enter a town, how un-hospitable!
Greek beef stew (stifado) You can look up a recipe but it is basically a stew with pearl onions, tomato, red wine, garlic , allspice and serve over mashed potatoes. You can use any meat the name in Greek means game stew. The onions take out any gamey taste
We're not sadd, We're going to Mexico tomorrow... if our flights okay...and they don't lose our bags!
Wife and I always look forward to watching you Beans every Monday night.
For best cooking ever, 2 words: cast iron! One or two skillets is all you need! With well fitting lid. Keep it up, you’re so refreshing!
Try some scouse lad a Liverpool staple look it up on the tube on how to make it but only use proper stewing steak an a little kidney you will love it one pot meal great show you guys keep it up 👍
I'm pretty sure it's the lack of vitamin D. Over cast winters often made me miserable. But during the pandemic doctors encouraged taking vitamin D for immunity and inflammation benefits. Now with
vitamin D 10,000 IU I'm happy every day no matter what the weather. Try it, prove me wrong Alex!!! That's a challenge for you mate.
AG1 Should help with that too as they apparently give you a years worth of Vitamin D - but remember your body cannot absorb it without A And K very key elements there people don't know or forget
I agree!! My dr even thought I was anemic by my symptoms and appearance. Nope! Vitamin D deficiency! Got on a high dose regimen and never felt so good in my life!
I've been taking 10000 IU Vit D every day last two years. Thanks youtuber Dr. John Campbell
.
Your visit to Clovely took me back over 50 years when I visited with my family. Still looks the same. Memories. ❤
We love CLOVELLY!❤️ It's most beautiful in the summertime.
I live in Perth Australia. It has the most sunshine of all major cities in Australia. Over 300 days a year. So a cloudy, wet, cold day looks beautiful. I yearn for that weather.
You two are so much fun! And it's so nice to hear British English. I am Belgian, but my late dad was from Oxford, married my Belgian mom and lived here in Belgium for most of his life. I was thus raised bilingually (Dutch/English), so proper (British) English will always be my favourite 😊
Mind you, I have also lived 7 years at the Arctic Circle in Finland (Rovaniemi) and 7 years in Odessa, Ukraine. The stupid war forced me to come back to my home country Belgium. Not regretting it though, I have certainly found a second love for Belgium again ❤
As for one pot recipes, one thing I always loved was a mix of all kinds of stuff:
Boil chopped up chicken breasts with some bouillon cubes, and add some pasta (I love the spirellis). Add some diced up potatoes as well. After a bit, you can add whatever else you like. I used to add onion, garlic, mushrooms, carrots, peas. Spice it up with some curry. When it's all tender, add cream and/or flour to make the liquid thicker. And enjoy! I loved this during Winter time 😊😋
They say : "You can never go home again ". In your case Alec and Emma, it's the van. It gave you an opportunity to reconnect with family and familiar terrain. It's not always about the weather.
You asked if we had any suggestions for one pot dinner recipes. The simplest is stir fry anything you have available and add some of your favorite oil and spices. Well done Alec for the
wonderful meal you made. Harriet and I never miss a video. Sending much love 🙏❤🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
Clovelly is so pretty but so steep to walk back up. The sledges are used to put their bins out as no bin lorry will fit down the street, so they have to pull their rubbish up to the top.
I can’t believe you’re not even at 300K subs yet. My goodness, your videos are funny, informative, educational, and just a darn good time. You two are so sweet together. Keep the videos coming. Can’t wait till the littlest bean arrives!
You two are so likable and sweet. Great sense of humor!
What a beautiful countryside. Well Mom and Dad, Baby Bean is coming soon. Can’t wait.
Another awesome video. You three are so much fun! Here ya go.... A few one pot/skillet meals.
Sweet Potato Hash:
In a large skillet, saute some diced or chopped sweet potato in olive oil until nearly but not quite fork tender. Then add some chopped onion , garlic, and zuchini and continue to saute with sweet potato until done and nearly caramelized. Add salt, pepper, and cumin then add some ground chorizo sausage or whatever sausage you've got and sear it off good. Push everything to one side of the skillet , lop in a little butter and crack a few eggs into the pan to fry. Mix it all up, toss in some cheese if you like and a splash of Cholula Hot Sauce. Smashing!
Ribollita (Peasant Stew):
Chop a couple carrot, an onion and a couple stalks of celery and toss in a pan with some olive oil to saute until translucent. Toss in a can of crushed tomatoes, a can of drained cannellini beans, some chicken broth or stock, a small wedge of parmesan, pepper, dried basil and oregano. Add some torn kale and crusty bread. Delish and so comforting!
Posh Beans on Toast:
To a pan add olive oil and butter, then add some broad beans or lima beans, peas, pearl onions, a little chopped garlic, a squeeze of lemon, some chopped parsley and green onion for flavor and color. Spoon onto a slice of crusty bread and crumble some feta over the beans.
For Alex: Slap another piece of crusty bread on top and you've got a post beans on toast sandwich! lol
Enjoy and as always, safe travels Beans!
My best,
LIsa G.
In that private village you are exactly right about the sleds they're for goods because it's so steep and cobbley and the fee is the control over tourism is the summer
Here in Astoria Oregon on the coast we get a lot of grey,wet,gloomy days too, but when the sun is out, it's glorious! You two crack me up. Taco soup is good. 💜💙
Definitely get SAD feeling on grimville dull days but the blue skys are totally motivational❤
How can anyone be SAD with you two (nearly three) vlogging...love the BEANS
We visited Clovelly many years ago, at that time there was no admission fee. It is such a beautiful little village, we have two prints hanging on our living room wall called “up along Clovelly” and “down along Clovelly”. Brings back great memories of that charming village.
"hamburger soup": brown some ground meat and onion, add broth (chicken, veggie, etc), add a bag of frozen veggies, whatever herbs you want (I usually use thyme and bay leaf...I'd add thyme to just about anything if I were allowed), add a can of diced tomatoes...let simmer til veggies are the consistency you want).
I’ve seen the sledges being used by the locals in Clovelly on TV. Everything is brought in and out by sledge - even the rubbish. So eco friendly 😊🥰🏴
Oh yes, and a one pot meal…lentil stew is one of my favorites…add onion, garlic, herbs and seasoning, potatoes, carrots, or any veg you really like and to make it really thick and rich add bovril or marmite with a splash of vinegar at the end; can also have with rice (but then is 2 pots 😕) hope that inspires…😉
One pot meals?? Ramen is the ultimate! Buy a good quality ramen like Shin Ramen and then you can supplement with any leftover veggies, proteins and eggs cooked right into the broth. ANYTHING goes with ramen. You can't beat it for convenience, transport and preparation. The possibilities are endless.
Oh and if you're worried about sodium content, just add more veggies into the mix and less of the seasoning packet. Taste as you go. It is so yummy and versatile.
It never ceases to amaze me that a woman's body is capable of producing and carrying another life. Women were born to sacrifice and nurture. Emma, you are amazing!!!!
Stay safe!!!!!
You two are so sweet that, even when you’re whining, you’re adorable.
Your mushroom stroganoff looked delicious. A dish that I find fairly quick and easy to prepare and cook is bacon tagliatelle. It needs two pans though to cook the pasta separately to the rest but it only takes about 15 minutes to cook and ten minutes to prepare the ingredients
4 slices of bacon sliced and diced , frozen bacon is easier to cut as it’s not slimy. A couple of teaspoons of green pesto , a clove of garlic chopped, half a yellow or red pepper sliced into small pieces. A couple of sliced mushrooms. Half a pot of crème Fraiche, and some grated Parmesan cheese to stir into the sauce. Fry the bacon off with chopped garlic then add the mushrooms and peppers and cook until soft. Stir in a couple of teaspoons of green pesto and cook through until the pesto is cooked into the ingredients. In a separate pan boil 4 bundles of tagliatelle for around 12 minutes with a pinch of salt to season. A few minutes before the pasta is ready boil some frozen garden peas in the same pot as the tagliatelle or cook in the pan with the bacon and other ingredients. Carefully stir in half a pot of crème fraiche but don’t let it get really hot or it will split. Add the cooked pasta and stir to cover it with sauce and serve. Also add some grated Parmesan to the sauce and stir in to melt. Quick and tasty food and cheap to make
My wife and I live in Minnesota and it is always very cold and very very cloudy in the winter. England does not look too bad. We Enjoy your channel.
With all the amazing places you visited it is alway the beauty of home that makes us treasure even more.
my current favorite (very simple, but very delicious & affordable) one pot meal:
sauté chopped onion + chopped poblano pepper in a little coconut oil. Add garlic powder + ginger powder. Then add the flavor pack from one package of ramen (my favorite is soy sauce flavor.) Add chopped bell pepper + chopped tomato. Next, add the noodles from the package of ramen and water - not completely covering the ramen, just covering it about half way. Cook with the lid on over medium heat. Stir the noodles around after a couple minutes so both sides get submerged in water (they come apart easily after cooking for a little bit.) Next, add two slices of swiss cheese (I use dairy-free cheese, but I’m sure regular swiss cheese or any cheese you have on hand would be great.) Finally, stir in some garlic chili sauce and serve sprinkled with chopped green onions - seriously so easy and creamy and packs so much flavor!
As a brit, we love it when we have a sunny hot day. We strip off and make like we are in the South of France. Love Somerset
Hi beans, the one stop for curry and a beer in toilet was hilarious. 🤣
A huge pan of stew is good, lasts a few days and tastes better the next day. Winter time I'm OK if it's cold, frosty or snow just not crazy about the rain. Yet summertime it's nice when it rains now and then. 🤣 and cools down. In uk we talk a lot about the weather. ❤
I love how much you too laugh with each other, I'm on my own now with 3 kids but watching you guys and some of my other favourite you tube couples really does make me smile!
Recipe please! That meal looked delish. Getting recipes from your subscribers is an excellent idea. It would be a great segment to your travel series. I suggest you watch the RUclipsr channel MAV that is also an outdoor/camping series. He also cooks meals on his channel inside his camper van and tries recipes his fans send in. I recommend an Instant Pot if you have the room. Love your channel BTW.
I visited Clovelly 40 yrs ago in my teens and it hasnt changed much. one of the most beautiful unspoilt jems in the UK in my humble opinion.
I love how your always laughing and find Joy in the little things. One pot meal I love is Polish sausage sauté in a pan cut up potatoes put those in the pan open two or three cans of green beans put those in the pan and left and simmer and pepper Delicious. Enjoy
Had the pleasure of visiting Clovelly with my best friend many years ago. That walk is a real workout. I believe the sleds outside the cottages were meant to be pulled by donkeys. Beautiful village. You two are adorable and I enjoy watching from Ontario, Canada.
Alex looks so happy with a mouth full of sausages ❤. Love the channel.
I lived in Seattle for 22 years. My depression was horrible. I now travel full time to follow the weather in the US. I'm fortunate that I don't have to go far to find dependable sunshine. I think having sense of humor, as you both do, helps with not letting the gray weather get to you. Love your channel!
One pot meal- can of pork n beans, 1/4 cup ketchup,1/4 cup brown sugar, dash mustard,2 cut up hotdogs. Mix all together and cook in a pot til heated up good and enjoy. Crackers are good with it.
The Mediterranean Dish has an amazing Turkish red lentil soup, easily done in one pot. I made a lot of substitutions, based on what I had, including onion for a large shallot, sweet potato for regular potato, and a spice-ish turkish spice mix for the aleppo pepper. Add in some crusty bread, and OMG, it's delish!
This channel feeds my soul.
Peanut butter chicken!
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
Chicken thighs
Bouquet garni
Bay leaves
Tomato paste
Chopped tomatoes
Peanut butter
Sauté onion and garlic then add chicken thighs until lightly browned.
Add tomato purée, bouquet garni, bay leaves and chopped tomatoes then cook on low/medium heat. When cooked through slightly shred the chicken thighs and add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter then just add the rice ! Total comfort food in one pot 😋
Love your videos and here’s to many more 😊
Great idea adding the rice right into the pot. Makes perfect sense.
You should walk to Baggy point in that part of the coast.
I absolutely love camping in the rain, researching or reading fiction with the rain pattering on canvas, steel or fibreglass. It’s so relaxing, the same walking with a good umbrella. I don’t like hot sticky days too hot to do anything.
Fajitas can be great to make in one pot, take jars of soured cream guacamole and salsa either home made or shop bought. Place plates instead of pan lids and heat the wraps between them, one up one down. Just need peppers, onions and whatever else you want to make vegetable or meat derived versions. Take pre mixed spices.
Yes I am effected by the weather. Raining.. I just want to read a book. Sunny…let’s go!
Seasonal Depression is real. That dish you you made, Alex looked so yummy. Have a great week. Mary 💕 Fred
One pot meals my favourite. Always start with onions, garlic add meat, tofu of choice, throw in some diced vegis, salt, pepper, curry, herbs, seasonings. Add boiled pasta, simmer. My favourite lately is spicy Italian sausage, take off the casing, then add pieces of the sausage to your onion and garlic, go from there.🇨🇦❤️add some white wine or vegi stock for a bit of liquid if needed.
Quick cold dish - Baked beans and sliced tinned peaches mixed together. Delicious.
Right Alex, as you asked I have a meal that is easy to prepare, easy to cook and maybe not so easy on Emma's internals and it is this : Buy a Turnip (Neep) , skin it and cut into smallish chunks and boil in salted water for about an hour till soft. But that is not the meal side of it, as you need 2 bowls or Pyrex deep dishes and into them large spoon 3 spoonful's of Rough Oatmeal.
Add salt and black Pepper for taste, give it a swish round and ladle off as much of the turnip bree as you want. The more you have, the better the meal is. Stirring continuously so there are limited lumps , when the bree turns cloudy, spoon into your gobs and feel the heat internally slide down to your gullets. And that is it 2 satisfied well fed adults and the Neeps can be used for another meal the next night with dare I say sausages and mash or an alternative !!
Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Hi Beans and Baby B 😃, Oh I just Love you two , Happy no matter what 😂😂, even with Al's huma 😂😂😂🤣 Take Care Beans , look after her Al 😂😂❤️
So Happy For you Two
Exciting Time having a Baby
Congratulations !
Let's see more of England !
Cheers !
i always smile and feel happy when i see you have uploaded your next vlog whatever the weather is outside.... I'm from Yorkshire and live in Greece.... It's very cold here now in Athens and we're expecting snow this next weeekend!..... the difference is that whatever the weather ...we can depend on a hot summer🙂 take care and it was lovely to see a part of England I'm unfamiliar with.... and i agree you can always depend on a pub !
Seattle is so similar. They turned coffee into a religion. Helps get you through the rainy season which runs from July 1 to June 30th.
Wonderful watching u 📿 beans 📿 as always! I can't wait to see if you'll still love van life when the little bean comes!!!
First time watching your videos sharing van life…I almost bought a narrowboat until an awful survey scuppered that…now looking at vans instead as another option…very funny and entertaining, thanks 😌🙏
hahahaaaa you both are so funny: “we are extracting joy out of complaining” always spreading positive vibes ❤
We have the time change so in winter, it’s dark by 5 pm. That really effects my mood. Your videos are great! Alex’s bedroom comment made me lol.
Love the laughter on your channel. You are both so much fun 🙂
I am Really happy to see you again in this amazing video, I can’t believe you are going to be parents!! So happy for you!! Best Wishes from Colombia!!!
Thank you for another great video, makes me want to visit the English countryside. My daughter had her baby 12 days ago. I am continuing my o pray fir your little Bean to be super healthy. Yes, I have one. white chili! You can make it with chicken or even just vegetarian, you can add cilantro or curly parsley, and use whatever beans you like. You can had the same rice that you used for your stroganoff, or make it with potatoes! Enjoy. A bientôt ❤
Your both amazing and you'll make a amazing mum and dad, so right together x
3:19 "No n-n-never at all." Good answer. But I suddenly imagined Emma punching someone through a driver side window. 😅
The weather plays a huge part in how your day is. Here in Washington state during the winter it is the same way as the UK, but the veiws and amazing camping is well worth it.
Beef stew is always a good one pot meal.
Mac n Cheese (but you can add veg to it)
If you have a sauté pan you could always do a stir fry. You could probably do this in a pot. I’ve just never tried that method.
I like making cashew chicken:
diced up boneless chicken thigh / breast
Thinly sliced carrots
Onion (white) - cut into bite size chunks
Celery cut into 1/2 inch pieces (I also use the leaves)
Minced garlic (2 cloves and of course use more / less depending on how garlicky you like stuff)
Green bell pepper, cut into bite size chunks
Sauté the veg in some neutral oil (like canola). Toss in the chicken. Add some soy sauce and black pepper. If you want heat, throw in a little diced red chili OR shake in some crushed red pepper.
Make a corn starch slurry…a little warm water mixed with a spoonful (or two) of cornstarch. It’ll help thicken the juices in the pot / pan.
When everything is nearly done, toss in some crushed cashews. I usually get the whole cashews with pieces and put them in a zip bag…then lightly tap with the full end of a knife. Can leave some whole if like.
Lastly, taste it and adjust seasoning as needed.
We love clovelly! Def go back in the summer when the donkeys are walking up and down and you can spend time with them in their pen ❤
I live in Somerset and have an 8 month old boy. I recommend walking all of the costal path from Minehead up to the Valley of the rocks it's unbelievable. I only explored there after lockdown. Maybe not recommended heavily pregnant though lol saying that I walked up cheddar gorge in my third trimester and was fine haha
I absolutely get affected by the weather here in the west of Ireland in winter... wake up and see sunlight and..wow ..energy and the winter landscape is so clear and it's more beautiful than in Summer. Wake up and see dull grey cloudy sky, that sheet of gentle Irish rain blown sideways past the window by a gale force wind ..and knowing that grey sky will shorten the already shortmid winter day.. and the energy saps right from one before the kettle's even boiled.. ah well then it's, on with wellies and the raincoat .. and who knows, tomorrow might be sparkling clear and beautiful again... oh the joy of anticipation and living in hope .. it's worth it! 🤣🤭🥰
We here in the Pacific Northwest in USA have the same weather and reactions to it. Except that if we have dry sunny weather for too many weeks, we start whining about drying out and blowing away. Plus if the temperature goes over 80-85F we are melting and non-functional. 🥵
Love your videos. Stay safe and warm.
But it’s been yukky cold 🥶 way to much now. 🥲
Beautiful coastline! It reminds me of the Atlantic Canadian coastlines. Rugged beauty. And similar wet, maritime weather at certain times of the year. And the grey days certainly can lower the your energy levels. Those are definitely curl up by the fire, cook some warming meals and enjoy a cuppa hot tea days!
When you live in a part of a country that doesn’t see a whole lot of rain and too much drought you absolutely learn to love the rainy days and appreciate them so much. I adore wet cool days
Ooh! Sausage and hash brown bap! Heaven in your hand!
To correct. You make every place you go fun.
"It tastes so beige." You crack me up. My laugh scared my kitty. Thanks for what you do and how you do it. And yes I am 100% affected by the weather. I live in the Pac NW US. Yuk.
One pot meals are great.
For the carb part of the meal, try wraps, cous cous (just boil a kettle), cook pasta in your one pot before cooking the main course then pour on boiling water and drain just before serving - same with rice and boiled potatoes.
It is so good you can select the life travel in the road . I am so admire your life style.
