    The little metal pin is supposed to go up the bottom of the pole. Helps secure everything in place. Peg the ring into the ground.

    SAD is awful I suffer from it too and count down the days until lighter nights. I grump my way through the dark nights from October to late January when the nights slowly get lighter. We have watched you guys for a couple of years now and you have given us so many helpful tips. I remember we found your channel on our first outing in our wee Susie the Swift caravan when we had an issue with the loo and managed to fix it thanks to you guys. We’ve since upgraded to our very first new van a Bailey GT75 Brindisi 😊 It’s lovely to see you both back out caravanning and uploading content again ❤

    Hey guys. Just wanted to say how much I've loved watching your videos. Me and the wife have just purchased our first tourer and have our first holiday coming up in north Yorkshire which is where we call home. Bit nervous for our first trip but extremely excited. First time towing for both of us😬 If we have as much fun as you guys do then it will be worth it. Keep the vlogs coming. Love you guys.❤

    As 3872 says they should be fitted up into the poles, that way you should get the correct tension when pushing up the final bit of the pole, something to do with if you are on a sloping pitch. kind regards Keith & Trish

      SO GLAD THAT YOU AND Keith are getting away in your lovely Van, it is so similar to ours, same upholstery and colour scheme etc, Just remind Keith to put his gloves on when fitting the "ear rings" as he called them as they can bite. Best wishes from the north west. Keith & Trish. @@keithandmichele

    Get yourselves a piece of Visqueen plastic membrane from your local builders merchant. Same size as your awning carpet. Use it on hard standings, stops damp coming up and protects awning carpet from stone damage. Keeps your socks dry too 😂

    Our caravan came with a 4m air awning .. used it for summer then sold it. I like the look of this small porch awning, especially over winter, just not sure we’d ever put it up 😂. We have same sink/drying rack in our Unicorn. I usually slide it over the sink/washing up bowl when cooking to free up more bench space. Unicorn has a great sized kitchen for Caravan Cooking Show!

    Great vlog both of you and great to see you out again . Weather looks a lot better than it’s been up here in the frozen Norf.
    That dangly ring thing is so you can attach the awning to your key ring and you don’t leave it at home and it’s always handy to put up when you get on site . 😉

      Hi @user-ov3bb3dd9w We’ve had a few air awnings over the years, the newest one hasn’t been used yet. This little poled porch awning is absolutely perfect for short breaks away ❤️ Thanks for watching, Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx

    Used to go by Henlow bridge lakes twice a day on the way to/from work at one time, never have stayed there though. Can wholely understand that there could be some noise at times. Only about 25 miles from home though, will definitely book up for a weekend later in the year. Loved the awning limpits, will be ordering some of those for ours. Thanks again for a great vid 👍

      Can you give me any tips how to get the pin in the end of both poles?? I have a sun canopy for the caravan (first time using it today) and it seems impossible to get both pins in the end of the poles. Too much tension and not enough slack. Help! Thanks.

I’m so glad to see someone else cooking properly in their caravan, I had begun to think it was just me. I’ve just taken delivery of my plate and cup/glass holders following your previous video. I’m delighted with them so thank you again.

    Hi Keith & Michelle
    I used to go there a lot as my parents and sister live just up the road in Stotfold, unfortunately not now as my caravan was stolen 2 years ago. Have you tried the caravan club site in Ashwell about 30 mins from Henlow very quiet site not as big as Henlow but very friendly.

      Hi @geoffknight7322 Many thanks for watching Geoff ❤️ Honestly, it went up easily, first time we’ve had a poled awning & we’re really happy with it. The larger one for longer breaks away is an air awning, which we have had before, but haven’t used this one yet. Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx

    • @keithandmichele
      @keithandmichele  2 месяца назад +2

      Hi @clivehewins Many thanks for watching Clive & Sally ❤️ Recipe is quite simple really, just flatten the chicken breasts, cover in French mustard & pepper. Lightly sauté the chopped onions, crushed garlic & ginger. Add the chicken, some Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce, a splash of red wine & simmer until chicken is cooked. Add some double cream, stir until thickened & serve 🤗 It’s also nice if you add some sliced mushrooms & can be served with rice instead of potatoes. Towing cover arriving this week 😘 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx

    Hi guys , great vlog thanks,
    Would be interesting for us here in Australia to see how much it costs for the site fees, if that's OK?

      Hi @stephen8266 Many thanks for watching Stephen ❤️ This site for 2 nights, at this time of year, cost us £23 p/n plus £7 electric charge p/n making a total of £60. For the same pitch in mid July, it’s more expensive, costing £30 p/n plus electric, totalling £74. Hope this helps, it would be interesting to hear how this compares to you in Australia 🤗 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx

    Seasonal affective disorder is improved vastly, with vitamin D, which north of manchester is total devoid from sunlight, during the winter months, leaving us to last on vitamin D stored in our fat cells and liver over winter. Vitamin D is also found in oily fish like Mackerel. If you don't like fish, take one of the cod liver oil capsules regularly, they swallow without taste. The inuits from Alaska eat a lot of fish and mammals that also eat a lot of fish, which they get all their vitamin D from. They live far north in Alaska but still have dark skins, because all the extra vitamin D from fish eating has prevented the need, to evolve white skin, to absorb more vitamin D from sunlight, which we have done because vitamin D from fish has never been a large part of the northern European diet. The other thing to improve affective seasonal disorder is to go to Benidorm or Tenerife, twice every winter like we do, you can go to Benidorm for twice the time for the same price as once staying at Tenerife, as well as vitamin D absorption, it is warm as well.
    Vitamin D also reduces bad cholesterol levels naturally, which is very important for particularly your hubby but for you also !
