Storm Bert put our travel plans to the seaside on hold so we decided to redirect the money we would have spent there to upgrading the interior of motorhome.

I don't know why anyone would be rude, you're a lovely couple & always make me laugh, I love seeing Pablo & Dora & really enjoy the videos 👍
Thankyou very much for this 👍👍👍
Not sure I understand why people would be rude to you either? Some people are vert strange. Keep it going 👍🏼👌🏼
@@crazyelephantlady I'm wanting to do that life I think what you said about carry on see what happens is correct we should all have the right to choose are own life style
Just found your videos, and I absolutely love them. I can’t believe some people take the time to leave nasty comments! They must have very sad lives?
My husband thought I was mad when I insisted we find a motorhome that could accommodate my need to have a bedtime brew and a drop down bed I didn’t have to climb into! We wanted a rear lounge too and eventually we got it all! Bailey Adamo 75-4dl. I know this is bigger than you need but my advice to anyone looking for a motorhome, is definitely hire a couple of MH’s first.
Keep videoing and making me smile! 😍😍
Hello and welcome to our channel. We are delighted you found us. Happy travels to you ❤️👍❤️👍
Thank you for your lovely comments on our Cafe , from Jo & Clare @ Wheels & Walkers😊😊
Our pleasure! We absolutely love your cafe and can’t wait to return ❤️👍
My dog is jealous of the breakfasts! I'm not anywhere near Barnsley, though. 🙁
I like the northern humour and the honest reviews of campsites and attractions
Thank you 👍
when i watch your videos i see two honest truthful people its why i watch xx
Thankyou 👍
I was shouting at the screen saying send me the curtain and I will sort it for you.......Your videos work because all couples watching can relate totally. Blue and pink lives. Have a good week guys.
Hey.. we still need curtains 😂😂😂😂😂👍👍😂😂😂😂
Great vlog again 👍
Your motorhome looks fab with the new additions. It's amazing how some small changes make a big difference.
Loved the cafe and mill.
Great humour from you both. You certainly brighten up our day. There is always lots of bad news on TV, but watching your vlogs makes such a difference with your banter and humour.
So thank you so much. ❤
I don't understand how people can be so rude to you both! There's no pleasing some people. 😡
Always look forward to your vlogs
Thanks again 😊👍
Hello. How are you and thanks for watching our video. We agree, sometimes the news is a bit much so always want to try and lighten things up.
Have a great day 👍👍👍👍
@Stchristopherofatlantis Thank you both, You too have a great day and of course Pablo and Dora too. 👍
I love your banter between you both
“Relationship goals” my living room is blue and mustard so I love the new look❤
Hi. Thanks for watching 👍👍
We really like watching your adventures even tho we are not motor homes and we had to sell our caravan a while ago. You are a very likeable couple and obviously enjoy your adventures. You take pleasure in nature and our lovely country as we do and it's good to go virtual motor homing. 😊 Keep at it. ❤
Hi. Thanks very much for watching our videos 👍👍
Very clever interior design , marching the highlight cushion colour to the steering wheel lock👍
It’s a real skill 😂😉😂
You two are funny with your passive bickering😊. And the van is looking good.
Now you have released your inner blue peter presenter with your expert use of sticky back plastic, I hope your pre Christmas episoode includes a how to make Christmas decorations with tinsel and a couple of old coat hangers, or an orange and 1/2 ton of cloves
Now there’s a cracking idea 👍👍👍😂
We absolutely love your videos, makes a Monday worth waiting for 😊 What a shame that a small minority of folks need to be rude!
Thank you for this fantastic message ❤️
I love your videos..whether you’re out & about in the van, chatting about stuff or even on your bike! Your humour is very similar to me & my hubby’s and I enjoy each video..keep up the good work ❤
Love to read this. Thank you for taking the time to watch and support 👍👍
We’re hoping to start with our first campervan in the spring. Your videos are wonderful and always bring a smile to our faces. Thank you :)
We love reading this 👍👍 go for it and let us know how you get on
ignore the haters theyre just living a sad jealous life as we think you both do a great job bringing the weekly and fun videos ..van looks fab with tbe splash of new colour although the red of a madri or cruzcampo might clash 😂😂
Hi. How are you? After a few Madris it will be fine 😂😂😂😂😂
@Stchristopherofatlantis im.fine ..and after a few all colours blend into each other 🤣🤣
Oh Claire and andy you have made me laugh so much. You are just like myself and my husband with the banter between you both thank-you 😂😂
Love that! Thank you
I like how you have carefully coordinated the new cushions with the crook lock.
This is funny 👍👍👍👍😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant! Very informative! Love it 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're a great couple,thoroughly enjoy your videos.keep up the good work.
Luvvin, the upgrade on your MH,looks really cosy and well put together.
With your help ( i.e., visit to Dunelm), we purchased the sticky stuff you viewed and fitted it today in our MH. Just wanted to say big thanks for improving our van as well.
Thank you very much.
Watching you from France, in the UK visiting love shopping in the UK, you have to go to shop called Homesence lots of good home furnishings. Its a good job Andy brought the smoothing tool I think it saved another argument. The blue vinal and blue extras did look nice inside, Not sure about the crazy moon walk, I think you should of been brave and gone for the green plant design. WE just brought Magnolia Paint to take back home to France,
Hi. How are you guys? I think I’ve seen Homesense so will need to nip in now you have suggested it 👍👍 I need another dangly plant 😂😂
Another great video, We love your humerus comments and banter. The motor home looks fantastic. Glad you managed to sort the curtains Andrew. 🤣👍 Me and Mandy can't believe you two get any negative or rude comments, your a great team and make fantastic videos.
Had a few this week!!! Eeek
Thanks very much for watching 👍👍👍
Well done guys the moho's looking very homely like the blue colour theme and cosy lights, best wishes and look forward to sharing your adventures come spring time.
Thanks so much 😊
Turned out nice guys. Lovely job. Andrew is exactly the Same as my husband, hates “ stuff”round the van , I love the colour combo. Don’t understand why anyone would be nasty. You absolutely don’t deserve that kind of feedback. We think you’re a great couple, down to earth and funny. Keep up the great work. 👏👍😘
Thanks so much! 😊 👍👍
Really enjoyed the vlog. Love the fact that when you do things you do them right and tend to go on nice sites and eat and drink in nice places. I hate watching the one where they complain about paying an extra £10 for a nice clean site with facilities, yet spend 50 - 100k on the motorhome. Ignore the haters, you can politely point them in the direction of the many other doom and gloom sites on utube.
Hello. Thank you for this, we do like a good campsite 😂😂
Spray soapy water on surface it stops adhesive sticking. So you can smooth out & position the vinyl the soapy water evaporates then the adhesive holds
Thank you
You're both a great teem. Your like a camedian act. Love the blogs.
Thanks so much
Hi guys love watching you all counting the cute dogs as well. So funny love too see you out shopping Andy is so funny the fact flowers look 🙈
😊 thank you
Just found your channel today.. from Barnsley myself. Love your videos ❤
Welcome to our channel. We are delighted you found us. Have a great day ❤️👍❤️👍
That looks lovely Andy and Claire, very homey and warms it all up, we were stopping the video at the chocolate to check the prices for when we get there in 3 weeks 😅. thanks for showing us round the Dunelm and B&M 😂❤ How about a 1ft by 5ft board between the mattress and the bed frame, you can pull it out in front of the door and it'll make a little side table for your cuppa Andy.😊 Have a lovely day folks ❤🇨🇦♥️
Hi. Not long until you are back 😎👍
That table sounds great… but it means Andy will have to get his tools out again 😂😂😂😂
Absolutely hilarious! Your DIY skills are like mine. When you were fitting the Avalon, I thought I was going to wee. Great video as always and the motorhome looks top.
This made me laugh and I nearly weed 😂
If it's any consolation my missus makes me watch endless camper van videos until she batters me into submission to buy one and your channel is one of the ones I don't mind.
Keep it up.
Get one. Get one.
Let us know what you get 😉😉
@Stchristopherofatlantis will do
Another great video, we had a right laugh....theres always 1 joker , or think they are !! You have made a cracking make over and threw some laughs in too , love it ❤😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved the makeover guys! You can’t beat a trip to Dunelm and B & M 😊 thought the wrap looked great, I wouldn’t have had the patience 😂
Keep doing what you’re doing especially the riff 🤘 loved that.
Ignore the losers….. they’ll soon find someone else.
Thanks so much for your kind words 👍
👍👍👍👍
It looks lovely, you have done well. 👌👏
Thankyou x
Interesting vlog, and insight into the Andy/Claire relationship off script. I think you are lucky to have each other and remain engaging even under pressure.
Thank you so much! 😁😁👍👍
Lovely job. ❤
Thank you! 😊
Hi you four, keep on entertaining us we love it , oh yeah
More to come!
Great vlog as always. Love the colour, warms it up, not so clinical. Also love the banter between you both.
Take care and stay safe. 😊
Thank you! You too!
Even though you were not on your travels it was an enjoyable video.
We love that new look in the M H well done👏👏
If you are doing a Q&A I would like to ask how long have you've been together please, we have been together for 52 years now.
Looking forward to next week's already.
52 years is fantastic 👍👍👍❤️
Fabulous!!! We laughed alot at your peel n stick antics 🤣 turned out well in the end! Love the colour addition. 💙 x
Thanks so much 😊
Hello both, Clair I think you are a lucky lady to have a decor enthusiast working with you. My partner would say something like “what do we wanna do that for!” I like it 😊 Lesley
😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍
You two always make us giggle, our favourite UA-camrs ❤
Love this ❤️👍❤️👍
Another great video I thought the beer can was going to be part of the makeover 😮😊
😂😂👍👍
Actually did a good job in the end. Great video!
Thanks!
Sticky back vinyl…peel backing off about 1 inch and make a sharp fold, stick the 1 inch strip to surface. Place a plastic ruler (preferably shatterproof 😂) along the width of the roll at the top. As you peel off the remainder of the backing, slide the ruler down. Voila! No bubbles. 👍
Was my job in the 90’s 😂😂
No bubbles?!?!?!?! We can only dream of no bubbles 😂😂😂😂😂
Lovely job and I reckon the colour's worked nicely, the stick on wall paper was a great job, its more difficult working in tight spaces, loved the place where you ate, Pablo and Dora's breakfast looked great. When a person is hanging new curtains I always wonder if they match the carpets. lol. I do love the easy going chemistry between you too. Cheers.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 thanks for watching
We love it❤ done the same with our 2010 elddis 302 caravan ❤ lovely what a difference ❤
thank you 👍👍
Great video guys, not laughed so much for ages, love your content, keep up the good work
Thank you. We absolutely love to read this 👍👍👍👍
New to your channel and find it very refreshing, great sense of humour and don't take yourselves too seriously, We'll keep our eyes open for you on our travels 👍
Welcome to our channel ❤️👍❤️👍
Instead of throws, in our caravan we bought elasticated cushion covers. I think Stu got them of Temu. So cheap, Andy will like that 😂
Hi. I am going to look into these
Thank you 👍👍
Hi guys we really enjoyed the transformation of your van. We are sorry that people say bad things about your videos. It’s a shame they are really entertaining and fun to watch. Always some rotten apples in the basket. Keep up the good work. Tony and Suzie in Kalgoorlie. Ps we are looking at a Avida motor home made in Australia.
Hello in beautiful Australia 👋👋
Thanks for watching
You two are great ignore the numptys you put out some great stuff and go to some great places, I will never get tired of listening to Claire’s laugh always makes me smile and Andy your sense of humour definitely relates with me! Just remember for every troll you have there are many many more likers of what you do!
Thank you very much 👍❤️👍❤️
Thanks for showing us your local area very nice. And always a funny vid😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m with Andrew its not OCD its just doing it right
😂😂
Looks good! SHEIN 2 seater sofa covers are brilliant for covering the chairs with dogs. We use them in our Roller Team 590, so think they should fit x
I think we need some of those! 😂
OMG, I thought it was curtains for the St Christopher😲. Never mind the haters, we enjoy your videos a lot. Thanks for taking the time to produce, edit and post. You guys have a great bond and that sticky back vinyl looks so frustrating. All the best👍
Thanks for watching!
Hi , I recently discovered your channel and what great viewing it is, love it 😁 . Looking forward to watching many more. Nice to see the bike test being passed, there is a whole new world out there to cover in some biking vlogs. Also, Claire is awesome , just saying 😊
Hello, Welcome to our channel and we are delighted you found us 👍👀👍
Have a great week
Best double act on You Tube thanks guys. Motorhome transformation looks great 🚐👍
Hi Eric. How have you been?
Wow, thanks for your kind words x
Love your videos & a great little makeover. It appears however that your attempting to compete with hotels with all those cushions😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😎
Looks lovely and cosy! Sorry your trip was cancelled but you definitely made the most of the budget! xx
Thankyou 👍👍
I’ve never had Percy Turner’s pork pies, but many older folk in and around Barnsley will remember Albert Hirst’s pork pies and his black pudding. The shop was on Eldon Street near the bottom of the arcade. Whilst I’m on about the arcade, there was a cafe/restaurant near the bottom called Rayner’s. Their pies and gravy, which was more like a liquor, were fantastic.
Keep up the good work.
Hi. Can’t beat Barnsley for good snap! 🥧
We love gravy 👍👍👍
Love the video hope your all well ❤❤❤❤❤❤ addy saying he can moonwalk hahah dont quite your day job 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Hi guys love watching your channel your both really entertaining and have a great banter on screen, a top tip for the thows we got some on Temu and they have like a rubber backing and they also make them for the size you need too !! Vans looks awesome great job both of you ❤
Hi. We definitely need to get some throws will not slip off 👍😂 thanks for watching
Liking the colour combo! We have booked Hawes CAMC site next March after we watched your video. You should get paid by the Yorkshire tourist board. Keep up the great content.😊
Hawes is absolutely brilliant 👍👍👍👍
Hi you two, what a lovely transformation, I know who to ask next time I’m using the dreaded sticky back plastic at work, Andy!
Why anyone thinks it’s ok to leave nasty comments is un fathomable and they must lead a very dull life!
You pair always make us laugh and we know it’s not an act as you’re both funny in person too. 😊
We’re intrigued at your most asked question 🤔. Take care x
Hello. Thanks for watching and we are delighted you laugh 😂😂👍👍
Smashing job, love the new colours, you can't beat some twinkly lights 🤩
I’ve been dreaming of these lights for 18 months 😂😂😂😂
@@Stchristopherofatlantis 😍😍
Ignore the haters. Hubby and I love watching your videos. We have an Adamo 69-4 so similar set up but our bed does go down lower so easier on the knees! Keep doing what you both do - love to the Dora and Pablo from our little Angus x
Thanks so much! Gotta look after the knees nowadays 😂😂
One tip for decorating always karate chop the cushions after placing them in position!
Seen it done on high class decorating shows.
This is the best tip we have been sent 😂😂
Another great vlog! Love the blue & mustard colour scheme! We just leave the key in for our bed.
You should get tickets to Vanlove Fest, especially as it’s in your neck of the woods, Yorkshire. We went this year & it was absolutely fab! Loads of doggos there too & such a great atmosphere with hundreds of vans parked up on the runway 🚐
Hi. Thanks for watching and this recommendation. Will take a look at this, we have no plans at the moment
It looks stonking! Xx rude guys can trot on, love you guys x
Thankyou
Very cozy setup.
Thankyou
I love it… 🥰 xx
Thankyou
Ta for sharing! We are doing a House sit near there next year! Great place to visit & take our hosts dogs! Saved to visit! Tick!! 😊
Tick ✔️
Loved the makeover in the van, just a little change makes all the difference, don’t know how anyone can be rude to you pair your so lovely and funny and thoroughly enjoying your vlogs, can’t wait for the next one ❤️
Helloooooo and thanks for watching 👍
Good call on the colour choice 👍
Thank yooou
Proper Barnsley feng shui ...love it
😂😂😂
Thanks both ❤
Thank you too!
'Lovely Jubbly' Great job on your interior makeover ❤ Super entertaining vid as always, love from 🏴 ❤
Glad you enjoyed it in beautiful Wales ❤️👍
If you two are happy with the blue look then that is fine, it's a personal choice, thanks for sharing.
👍👍
Loved this video looks lovely, andy had more patience than i would of had putting that sticky stuff up, soz cant remember whats its called. 😂
Thanks so much 😊
As always brilliant vlog
Thanks again!
Great job 🎉 definitely worth doing 👍
Thank you
Brilliant job, it looks lovely !x
Thank you! Cheers!
Looking good 😊❤
Thank you! Cheers!
❤Your dogs Pablo and Dora are soooooo Cute 🥰 OMG that food looks amazing. Got to agree about our rubbish transport system. If they can run amazing cheap public transport systems abroad, why can’t we get that same cheap reliability in UK. 😂The bike scenario and the knee knock walk😂 Brilliant 🤩.EEK! Measure twice cut on a flat surface, where’s the tool u bought? Hooray you found it! Top tip don’t buy sticky wall paper.😂 Lovely job well done.👏
Hello and a big thanks for watching 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed, have a nice day
Eyup, cracking job lass...and lad 😊
👍👍👍👍
Thought what you spoke off regarding restrictions very good but things can change we all have a right to live as we choose🎉
Thanks for watching
Wonderful job looks amazing,
Thankyou ❤️👍
Hi you two, sorry a bit late to watch your latest creation !! Loved the different context and still as entertaining as usual ! Hope you get to the seaside soon and enjoy your revamped surroundings with the fab blue additions. Now get out there and top up that wine rack....shamefully low on stock for xmas 😂😂😂 all the best Andy & Lyn. (don't give the tw*ts any of your precious time and delete them....oh you have!! Good on you)👍
We had a cracking party the night before 🤷♀️🤷♀️😂😂😂
Thanks for watching and supporting us
Have a great day ❤️❤️
Very nice sprucing up guys. Looks great! 👍
Thanks 👍
Hellooo Guy's
What a transformation 👏 it looks great 👍.
There was a lot of waffle in this vlog 😅.
Tried using that sticky stuff ourselves it went in the bin 😳, Andy has more patience than me.
Watching Andy, tooking the throws in, is just like me it drives Jo mad 😅.
We don't argue neither I just do what Jo says 😂.
Sorry you didn't get away, for the best we think though.
Take care and stay safe 🙏.
Paul and Joanne 👍 ❤️ X.
Intrigued as to the question 🤔.
Cannot believe you get nasty comments 😪.
Glad the pic came down OK, damn sticky stuff.
Hi. Thankyou
Lots of nasty ones last week 🤷♀️
The pic came down but we had no sticky to put it back up, but it’s going back up. We love it 👍👍👍
@Stchristopherofatlantis
Hi,
Still can't believe it 😢.
Maybe if you get enough sticky, Andy will also do the plants, 🤣
Thanks.
❤️
Did you know you can get dry robe seat covers, oooosh
@Stchristopherofatlantis Thats terrible Claire, just block them and know we all love you guys ❤❤
Oh yes. Merry Christmas to me 😂😂
❤️👍
Congratulations on getting that sticky backed wallpaper on. I tried to use that on renewing kitchen cabinets, let's just say, it went in the bin, and we had a new kitchen fitted. 😂😂
Hope you're both doing OK. Andy.
This is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
@Stchristopherofatlantis I had a swear jar and put a pound in it for every swear word I used whilst putting on the sticky wallpaper. That swear jar paid for the brand new kitchen 😂
Love you guys, you always make us laugh! I like your improvements! 🤣🤣🤣
Yay! Thank you!
As usual fresh and innovative guys - a little bit blue with shades of colonel mustard in the lounge 😂😂 - enjoy your week 😀👍
“Fresh and innovative” did you watch a different video 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi faststeve 👋
We did away with throws and went with Timu seat cover. Looks nice though guys 🎉
This is something we might look into if we have issues 👍👍
Bane of my life straightening throws, then the dogs scratch at them to get comfy pulling them out the corners 😡
Brought some from Temu but the Pilote seats are weird sizers so didn’t look right. I haven’t got OCD, like Andy I like it to look right 🤔
Wish I was like Claire, & good with a sewing machine ( haven’t got one), & I’d make some 😂.
Keep up the good work guys, bringing a smile to our faces, @ educating us on the wonderful places in the Uk.🇬🇧
Hello Liz. How’s things ?
Thanks for watching 😂👍😂👍
Today UA-cam gave me an up to date video!! I do hope that doesn’t mean I’ve caught up. I would miss watching you both in the bus on tour.
With regard to the haters, please don’t let them affect you. 99.9% of people enjoy your content and company. Just block them and move on. Try focusing on all the good comments. Thanks for all your content and work
Hi. Have you really watched them all? Even the yodelling one in Switzerland (my favourite?)
@ no! Thank Christ. Normally UA-cam shows me the next one, and today it showed me yesterday’s. I then went to the next one in the old van in a pub carpark. Phew. Still a year behind. We travel full time and currently watching you on the beach free parking in the Peloppenese, hardly anyone here, sunny and water temperature 21°. Looking forward to seeing you going further away soon. We also have a drop down bed. We leave the key in it, turned on.
Plenty of videos 😂😂😂😂😂
You guys gave me some laughs today! Loved the smoothing tool.Claire, just cut that curtin panel in half and do a simple machine hem.Dusted and done !❤❤
Thanks for the tip! 😂😂
Lovely to see a bit of Barnsley, great video, can't go to B&M without a trip down the doggy isle 😂
Glad you enjoyed it. How are you guys?
Oh wow, we’ve recently bought a house in Thurnscoe (no judgement please 😅) we are so happy you have shown Wheels & Walkers Cafe!! Never knew this was here! We have Nelson, our Labrador, he loves a good sausage!! Oh er missus, Sorry cannot comment on the rest yet, as paused you to write this comment 😅.
Hello Nelson 🐾👍 Hello Tony
Fab cafe, a must visit 😁😁
