      Thats why I started. Being stuck in lockdown and not being able to go anywhere made me start watching travel vlogs to live vicariously through them, but I've remained ever since. Plus it's good for travel ideas too :)

Lots of family have taken their little ones there and they have all had a fab time 😊Sending lots of love to you all and hope you are having a wonderful time on your adventure! 💕

    I must admit it took me a few tries before I liked Marmite. I started eating it when I was pregnant with my son, 23 years ago. Love marmite toast now! Marmite and smashed avocado with poached egg on top is good, too.
    Love the Cotswold’s as well. Haven’t been there in years, though.
    Thank you for sharing your adventures with us,looking forward to more adventures in England and wherever else you take us! I’m sure they will be great!

Now he is 27 , we came back to live in India, son lives in Seattle, your lovely video made me nostalgic.. 😍😍😍😍..You should eat Trout fish in Bourton on the water.. .. what a wonderful place ❤

Have fun you three. Love your content.

You have that great set-up for private exterior showers (and bath for Hunter). And camping spots seem to have toilet facilities constantly available.

    Bourton on the water was where I came across a very grumpy man. I think he lived there and was annoyed with the tourists , we were taking a photo on that little bridge and I was in the way of him and his bike. He actually pushed the bike into my legs to get passed me ... not so nice living somewhere where there are always a heap of tourists.

    I’ve been following for some time so I’m super excited to see you’re here with us in England! 😄
    Depending on what you’re looking for there are plenty of places to see…
    Beaches:
    I recommend Devon or Norfolk for these.
    Any of our wonderful national parks:
    - New forest and see the wild ponies
    - Peak District. The Matlock bath illuminations are running at the moment so worth a visit there if in the area. I believe they have fireworks at the weekends too.
    - Lake District
    - Snowdonia, Wales
    Or if you’d like some attractions:
    - Eden project, tropical biomes in Cornwall.
    - Chester Zoo
    - Alton Towers theme park
    - Peppa Pig World for Hunter
    - Woodlands Family Theme Park, Devon. This is somewhere I used to love going as a kid, they have their own campsite and the theme park is aimed at younger children with lots to do!
    - one of our living museums, such as the Beamish museum for an immersive experience of past times in Britain.
    Historical or picturesque towns or cities:
    - Bath, for its ancient Roman history
    - York, plenty of history within this walled city
    - Portmeirion, a Welsh costal village with Italian inspiration
    - Whitby, a beautiful seaside town
    - we’ve also got plenty of stunning castles to see, I can’t name them all 😅
    There will be many more places that I haven’t mentioned but I hope I’ve managed to give you some inspiration. I can’t wait to see what you get up to next ☺️
