Brits living in Spain
Spain
Приєднався 1 тра 2020
Exploring, eating & drinking our way around Spain and the rest of the world! Primarily based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, Spain.
We´re the Brits living in Spain (also known as Tdotandco)
Our Channel is about (mainly) Helen and Andy and living life as British expats on the Southern Costa Blanca in Spain.
We live in Torrevieja, Alicante, Spain and near to Balsicas, Murcia, Costa Calida, Spain.
We try to highlight all the great things both the local area and Spain as a whole has to offer travellers and those wanting to make a permanent base here. We also take family, friends, subscribers and viewers with us on our journey of exploration- both within Spain and on our travels around the world. (Remember, though, it´s all about the food, right?)
We also feature Bob (Hi Bob!), Maddie, Chesca, and often Maddison (plus others) in our videos.
We show what life is like for expats/ immigrants living- and working- in Spain.
We hope you enjoy what we do. Want to help the channel- subscribe

Christmas Food offerings for Expats in Torrevieja | Living in Spain | Christmas Shop Spain
Want to know what speciality Christmas foods the Spanish supermarkets have for Christmas?
Join us as we take a look at offerings from the Spanish chains such as Lidl, Aldi, Carrefour and Mercadona.
We also brought some items back from the UK to try- unsure whether they will arrive in Pepco here in Spain. Horlicks Banoffee pie flavour, and Horlicks Jam Roly Poly flavour... Find out what we think!
We also do some home cooking, this time Andy makes cottage pie, testing out the new Osmo Pocket 3 camera.
Chris from @talesfromthecaveside paid us a visit relating to editing software and we get an update from Bob´s allotment.
We take a day off work to see the Cages (this time as a duo) LIVE at The Marina Bar in La Torretas, Torrevieja, and we also manage to pay a visit to the Christmas Shop in San Luis.

Happy Christmas Helen, Andy, Bob and family. Thanking you for all your wonderful videos over the passed year, that were full of useful information. We hope to move over to Spain in the next 12 to 18 months and have found this channel so helpful. Keep up the good work and again thanks.
Thanks for watching and the comment- hope you've had a great Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Thanks for watching and the comment 👍
Love the banter xx❤🌹
😁 makes it easier- thanks for watching and the comment 👍
Missed this due to Christmas prep too. I tried eel from a stall in Islington Market 30 odd years ago and never again.
Ha ha ha.. Andy still not sure about trying it. Keep thinking of water snake... thanks for watching and the comment- hope you guys have had a good Christmas 🎄 😊
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 🎉 Harold and Mirna 😁🇪🇬🕊️🎄👋
Same to you! thanks for watching and the comment
good video but be a lot better if she wasn't constantly talking over the chap
Thanks for watching and the comment 👍
Loving your video. Watching from a hotel room in Bordeaux. We almost bought the DJI like yours but got a DJI Mimo instead but after seeing yours we wish we’d got that one 🙄. We’re the couple who live in France but hoping to move to Spain next year and hopefully we’ll be popping to your estate agency next March for a chin wag. Hope you enjoy the cheesecake. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅 🎉
Dji mimo Is the app you can use to control it? (we use it for the Osmo mobile 6 gimbal and the pocket 3)- still getting to grips with it... thanks for watching and the comment- hope you've had a great Christmas 🎄
@ yes sorry I meant we have the gimble too 😂. It does take some getting used to but to be fair we don’t use it that often. We need more practice I think. We’ve had a lovely time thanks. Hope the same for you. All the best.
@Brits living in Spain helen, look up Darren mcgredy the ROYAL chef he demonstrates the no bake cheesecake, DIVINE! I'm 4 hours behind.
Thanks for watching and the comment. Hope you've had a great Christmas 🎄 the cheesecake is Lush 😋
Merry Christmas to you all. The quality with the Pocket 3 looks awesome.
Thanks for watching and the comment- definitely better in low light situations. Hope you've had a great Christmas 🎄
Defo do Chang mai and Chang Rai the food capitals I want Andy to try a Scorpion and stay away from them lady Boys Andy. I don't mind looking after your dogs for you at yours neither so you don't need to worry about kennel fees ❤
Thanks for watching and the comment. Avoiding scorpions and bugs as well as more aell known international restaurants... dogs are sorted, thanks- Chesca not coming with us 😊
Have a great Xmas from mark and Denise from chesterfield
Hi guys! Hope you're both well. Thanks for watching and the comment- hope you've had a great Christmas!

Hi from Leeds Uk
Hello stranger! Hope you're well. Thanks for watching and the comment- hope you've had a great Christmas and all the best for the New year 😀
Merry Christmas from falkirk, more cooking and restaurant videos please
Thanks for watching and the comment!- cooking tends to be in almost every weekend vlog (watch for the lives if we do them- most of those are done in the kitchen!)- We've got a LOT of restaurants we want to try in the future. Hope you've had a good Christmas!
Feliz Navidad to all 💓🙏⛪
Thanks Bruce. Thanks for your comment and support - we hope you and the family have had a great Christmas 🎄
What do you think of the new camera? I am so used to to seeing the GoPro wide video from you guys
New camera is great in low light. Still getting to grips with settings etc. Love the gopro for the wider angle view without fish eye, and also great when walking doesn't appear to "bob" up and down. May start using the wide angle lens on the pocket 3 more (we bought one)- doesn't appear to be fish eye either, thankfully... thanks for watching and the comment. 👍
Merry Christmas guys
Igualmente!
Merry Christmas to you all. Now back in Scotland since Mid December and really enjoying the videos. Two and a half years in we have mostly dropped the traditional British fayre and migrating albeit slowly to local cuisine. If Andy at Mountain View Farm delivered internationally we would have them weekly. My wife and I are debating, do we return to Spain in February for our 90 days or grow organic veggies in our polytunnel over the summer and come back late September. Having been in Valencia on the 29th /30th we hope "Pretty Boy" is well and not too traumatised from his work there as we know from first hand experience how awful it was and so shocking that it has dropped of the international news feeds.
Thanks for watching and the comment. Deliberations with timings there! Alvaro is good- thanks for asking- we didn't realise he's not been in a video since. The situation from Valencia is also dropping from local news feeds as well, which is not good. We may see if we can do an update in the future. We think a lot of things have been.. "hidden" from the press etc. Hope you've had a good Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas to you all and thank you for the videos. Keep up the great work!👍🎄
Merry Christmas! Thanks for watching and the comment- glad you enjoyed the videos 😊
The cottage pie looked fit must say merry Christmas Helen Bob and Andy from me and Heather ❤
Cheers guys! Not only Helen that can cook 😋 hope you guys have had a great Christmas!

Why do people not make everything themsleves better most things you mention you can makse yourself including coleslaw without additives
Hi Darren. Thanks for the comment. Obviously you don’t regularly watch our channel as it includes LOTS of home cooking (and home grown veggies!) but the point of this video was to show the variety available from the largest supermarket chain here in Spain. That being said, if you work full time and have a busy life it’s not always possible to make everything from scratch and it’s good to know that you can get a good, ready made alternative in the supermarket.
To much processed food sorry I do bodybuilding never put poison in my system always cook from fresh and make my own spice mixes and dry rubs and make my own soups no processed cans herbs in Spain is terrible not that good in Spain lard is good and natural don't cook with seed oils cause cancer pork is dirty meat and carries germs if anything I cook leaves fat in the pan it's not going in my body
Thanks for watching 👍
Great music, loved it !! 😎

Thanks for watching and the comment 👍
You're a proper Delia Smith Andy! 😂
🤣🤣🤣 apart from i don't do football, and I've never been to Ipswich...
@britslivinginspain Your footie point proven Andy, Delia is a Norwich supporter 😀. You looked as though you were enjoying your kitchen time anyway. A step up from the baked beans of last week 😆
@simonhopkinson1815 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
You need to be careful with sobrano brandy and flaming it, it is only 30% not 40% like most other brandies so does not always cook off so well.
@@our-placeinthesun did the job for what we needed 😁 thanks for watching 👍
Happy Christmas to you all ❤x❤🍸🎁🍸x
Many thanks- igualmente! 🎄
Wonderful spirit of Christmas 💓
