Keep an eye out at 23:39 for a rogue shoe 🙈👀 Thanks for watching gang!
We feel the same crossing the border. A bit strange for Aussies, but it's now our 3rd time together ❤️
its always a nice feelign arriving back in Scotland
I just love the autumn colours, they are spectacular near the Grey Mare’s Tail waterfall, with the orangey-red of the bracken and the beautiful golden trees. In my mind that made up for not being able to get the very best view of the waterfall. Having moved from the Highlands to live in Spain 10 years ago, autumn colours are one of the things I really miss.
Hello to Scotland from Izmir/Turkiye
✋😀
Hey there 😁 thanks for watching!
Amazing, beautiful, and fun like always, thanks for sharing ☺️🙌
Thank you 😁 so glad you enjoyed it shiva! ❤️
Should get a window roller blind to use as a screen for the projector, then roll up when not using it.👍❤
That’s a great idea 😁 need to look into it
Great video again I saw a picture of the grey mares tail waterfall frozen and some climbers climbing up it. I think it was in Saint Rhonan’s Well.
Aw wow that would have been amazing! 😍
Oh I was born and brought up in the village at bottom of that hill, Strathblane! Only moved away 4 years ago 😊
Aw how beautiful! We were talking about how nice a place that would be to live there 🥰
Great video funny leaving the shoe
Haha so daft of us 😂 glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😁
Hi love wachinh yous l a old Scottish lady my mummy is a cambell 😊
So glad to hear you are enjoying the videos 😁
Awww the heart was singing at the end. Cheers guys. Great job putting it all together....and also retrieving the wayward boot!! LOL too funny. I love the improvised projector! Very cool on the outside especially. Next time might wanna remember to bring any footwear back in :) Yes the tea kettle is cute. Wonderful video again
Thanks Scott 😁 it was such a lovely surprise! Haha at least we found it again 🙃 what am I like?! Thanks for watching
Hari OM
Good to know about the Hawick parkup and the quirky campsite too... and that plans continue to progress for your happy day! YAM xx
Yeah they are both great! 😁 the trick with the second one is to say you are fulltime and have been for years 😜
Yes, know the area well !!!!!! Will show you more one day. Great video.
Thank you 😁 glad you enjoyed it!
What you need there is a large piece of white card that you can roll up and several fridge magnets.....
That’s a great idea! Can stick it straight to the side of the van 😁
Six weeks until the shortest day - I’m just hibernating 😊
Aw man 😂 that’s a though haha
seeing you in tour cozy blanket hoodie gemma reminded me to say have you seen the oodie dressing gown.... im getting one for winter. looks like a bit of you that does...looks so cozy and they have a sale on 😊😊
It is so good for winter 🤣😍
Fantastic video. I'm eventually getting to see your beautiful homeland. Heading to Scotland soon,first time. Its been like a carrot dangling in front of a horse,watching your videos there.
Aww we hope you have an amazing trip 🥰 so many beautiful places to see and we have loads of free guides on our website if you want help planning 😁
Great video, you definitely got a welcoming back home to the beauty of Scotland in the Autumn. My fiancé and I visit Scotland in October most years and it never fails to wow us. On our way home this year via visiting our friends in Moffat we too were able to see that outstanding waterfall. Wedding plans are really coming together for you, so happy for you both and hopefully look forward to seeing your wedding when it happens. Oh lucky boot find eh,
It is such a lovely time of year 🥰 thanks for watching!
Great video again guys . Good to be back in Scotland again. Loved the drone shots.
Thanks so much Dougie 😁 we’re loving being back in Scotland so much ❤️
You two are always fun to watch. Delightfully upbeat every single video! If you ever get to Southern California the wife and I have a pit stop for you if needed. Great fun to watch you guys explore!
Aw thank you so much 🥰 glad you enjoyed it
Cracking video, even more beaming smiles than usual 😁 Good luck for the future 🎉
Thank you so much 😁🥰
Come on Campbell, surely you can afford to replace your broken handled mug 😂
It gives it some character 😂 one day we’ll get round to buying a new one but it still does the job for now haha
@@highlands2hammocks 😂👍
As a fello Scot’s of an older age I realise the stresses and strains and the responsibilities of being a best man, I therefore put myself forward to be a standin of said duty in case said fellow man is a tad under the weather and therefore can’t undertake said responsibilities/duties.
I also put myself
forward as standin
father of the bride
Again in case said person is a tad blootered the night before.
My kilt is on standby
Haha thanks for the offer! You will be top of the backup list 😆
@@highlands2hammocks “result”🤣
Great to see you back in Scotland 🏴
It’s good to be home 😁
Welcome home you two. ❤ Wrap up warm. 😂
Thank you 😁 haha we will need to!
What happened to the sound at the end? It was playing really fast
Aw really? That’s a shame haha was more just bar music and jibberish anyway 🙃😆 hope you enjoyed it anyway!
Decorative pumpkins? How very Hallmark! 😂
But the question on everyone's lips... Having been to both towns and _obviously_ tried both; Hawick Balls or Moffat Toffees?
Haha I know 😂 oooh we haven’t but we will definitely need to on our next visit 😆
Ellie needs some TLC 😊
She sure does 😂 been hard at work at it!
lovet amazing❤
Thanks Tomas 😁
Nothing like coming home no matter the weather. Thanks for your video!
Absolutely! Always a warm (if still cold) welcome 🥰😂
Mmmm we were told £20 each person when we were there in 2020 😮
At the west highland way place? We spoke to him and he mentioned that fulltimers can negotiate 😁
Yes same place- looks like he’s upped his game since 2020. There were no facilities or parking bays when we were there - we had to reverse next to the house and were happy to pay £20 but he insisted it was £20 each which we thought was excessive so didn’t stay.
Using any type of blind for a screen ...its not a rocket idea is it....... something thats nice and bright to reflect ....but then I don,t think you guys are all that bright in the first place ...(thinkabout all the mishaps there,s been in the journey,s).
So unnecessarily rude 😂
Must be great being perfect George
Pretty boring I’d imagine 😜
@@j.f.m5936 It realy is......caravaning for over 30 years and never ever any mishaps or F$$K UPS.....
Think it is you that is ' not all that bright ' by making uncalled for comments like that; Keyboard warrior springs to mind. The fact that these guys are happy to record, and show, their mishaps goes a long way to saying they are genuine - and human 🙂. I for one enjoy laughing with them and seeing what they get up too.
Campell sory spell rong 😅😅😅😅😅
Looks atrocious
😂😂
