Hi Morne thank for watching all our love dave and Bonita xx
Happy new year to you both. Looked a bit windy on the beach. Have you been to see the seals ,Niel put a video up the other week. Think its further up the coast. Wish i lived closer to go and see them. Xx
Hi belle,happy new year to you as well, was very windy we seem to have a lot of wind here, were abouts are you from ?, All our love dave and bonita xx
@DaveandBonitasVanlife oh i hate it in the van when it's blowing a gale and raining. I live in Hull so not far away,I did want to come and stay on site last year while Niel was there. But didn't get the chance to get up. Maybe another time we may come up. We have a tourer,we had it about 3 years this one. Have had old vans years ago,and had 2 static caravans. But the cost of the ground rents are ridiculous. We had 1 at Reighton sands on the east coast about 20 years ago. Moved off there as it was nearly 4 grand a year,now it's 6 grand. And a few years later we had on near Hornsea on the east coast that was just over 3 grand 10 years ago. But got rid and went back to a touring caravan. We haven't ventured very far in it really just down the east coast. And stayed at Grange leisure caravan park Mablethorpe was a lovely park. Hope the weather starts to pick up soon,I dont like winter dark nights hate them. Take care xx
We are going to have frigid cold weather this coming week. We are not used to that in the southern states. Y'all stay warm and cozy.
Hi carol, hope you are well, i watched the nfl play off game with the kansas city chiefs last night and it looked very cold there,stay safe and warm all our love dave and bonita xx
@@DaveandBonitasVanlife I watched that game too! There was one game earlier in the season that the teams played in the snow. They had to scrape the snow off the yardage lines. I was cheering for the Chiefs and Lions. Oh, well. 2 more games today. 🏈
I watch every Sunday I like to have a bet on it, done Kansas last night and have done eagles tonight. I love it
The bills game doesn’t start to 11.30pm tonight so if I watch that one it won’t finish till 3am
@@DaveandBonitasVanlife Love 🏈

I do love those caravans, i wonder if have to renew them every ten years though? some sites do
Hi jackie,thank you for watching,I think some have a 15 yr limit but it's up to the site you are on, some of the sites in skegness have really old statics on them,we would have to look into it if we ever decided to buy one but we are very happy in our motor home at the moment, all our love Dave and Bonita xx
We have a holiday static , they cost a lot and you loose a fortune that I can honestly tell you. Anybody buying one anywhere seriously do your homework 🤔

We've been having diesel heater and electric heating on in van warm as toast ,but looking forward to summer we are on a site for three months till April then back on road .Think it's a case of buckling down till the season changes but I quite like living in the seasons when your in a van makes you appreciate the simple things in life that modern living can rob you of ,enjoyed your video 😊

Hi, Thanks for the cooking segment. I like that you can have all your ingredients prepared and just put it in the skillet to cook up. I don't have a large air fryer, I would just put it in the oven to brown. Looks very yummy.
Hi Carole thank you for watching the air fryer is so handy for the motorhome as we pay for our electric on a fixed daily charge so daves on gas, glad you enjoyed the cooking segment, weather has been so bad had to bring our vlog indoors lol, all our love dave and Bonita xx
@DaveandBonitasVanlife We've had horrible winter rain storms and (30⁰F) very cold weather for Louisiana. We only have snow once every 3 or 4 years. So far not expecting any this year. Youngest son lives near Chicago and they have had bitter cold and tons of snow. Brrr!
There is a place called Hubbard's hills in Louth, well worth a visit any time of year but especially in summer. There is a stream running through which kids and dogs love to splash around in. There is a car park and an old wooden cafe.
Hi thank you for the tip, will give that a look up, thank you for watching and for your comment all our love dave and bonita x
