Sending love to Helen, I really related to her talking about her presents from her Mum and it making her feel sad. I find Christmas a really sad, bittersweet time since I lost both of my lovely parents.
I've only just found you're channel & I really enjoying watching you're adventures. I'm Scots born n bred, but went out with a Sunderland lass for a while, so it was lovely to see you're tour of the city. Keep up the good work, here's wishing you good health to enjoy you're vanlife.
I think they always do a few new towns and city's and finish off in benidorm from the vlogs I've seen .Helen likes benidorm as much as James infact I think when they are out drinking there it's Helen who would stop out later at night 😂 Great couple hope they keep up the good work
I am a volunteer for Age UK and the lady I speak to every Thursday is a Barnsley Lass, she is in her 80s and a right laugh, bright as a button, I am a Wakey Yorkshire lad so we both understand each other.
UA-cam is not an easy thing to do, but it is fun. When it comes to trolls, the way I look at it is, if they are watching your content then it adds to your watch time, so you benefit. If they say something horrid, you can hide from channel. If I don't like a video then I just find another, but if I like one, I make sure I comment and like. I'm all for positivity! I've been doing UA-cam a year and had a few trolls, but I focus on just enjoying the journey and the great people who interact. Takes nothing to be nice! Great Q&A guys. Andy.
Hi James and Helen, an hour long that vlog was, and no it wasn't boring, to me it's like having a friend in my living room. Hope you both had a good new year's eve, I had a couple of Guinness's with my daughter and because I don't normally have alcohol I confess I was sloshed, my daughter thought it was hilarious....well keep up the good work both of you. Happy new year... Debbie brid
Tell you what I miss, the two of you spending weekends away visiting towns, bars and restaurants. I get you moving the channel on to earn income but be nice to see you go back to do some of what probably attracted many to watch. It brought out the best in you both 👍🏻
Father Ted once explained the different shades of black. The ones you think are black are actually just really, really, really, really dark blue. Normal people do not have access to priest black.
Hi guys, feeling a bit sad for Helen...she clearly was saddened when you mentioned a new van in a couple of years. You are a great couple ❤ I totally get why she won't marry you unless you live with her. So come on James get it sorted ❤
LOL you two really make me laugh, I am so glad you don't let the trolls get you down, You are doing a great job, I love your channel and all your videos, Happy New year to you both xx
If you mean Definition? Then it kind of refers to very bitter, self loathing people who post their spiteful/pointless s***e online in a pathetic attempt to get a reaction because they hate their own life. Hope that helps🤗
Great couple supported from the start . Keep up the good work ps love the Spanish vlogs where you show some of the more Spainish cultured towns then finish off in benidorm on a good crawl always great watch.
hey guys you know we adore you both and consider you as two close friends and i’m sure we will all be together soon putting the world to rights 😂😂😂❤🐕 chicco wants helen hugs 😂
Hi James and Helen, I've been a subscriber to the channel from the start but what I am getting to see more of is this relationship tends to be a bit one sided in your favor James. Please let Helen have more of a say, remember this channel wouldn't be what it is without Helen.
Hi there! Thanks so much for being with us from the very beginning - we truly appreciate your support. Helen's voice is incredibly important to what we do. We'll definitely keep your feedback in mind and try to ensure it feels balanced in the future. Wishing you a wonderful New Year! 😊
Once you find somewhere you like it’s difficult deciding to give it a miss. Love Benidorm and it can be a bit different each time you go 😂. Ok if you have plenty of time to fit in other places on the trip. Enjoyed the vlog guys x
Happy new year both 🎉 Love your channel. Power wise I invested in echo flow and got the alternator charger, game changer in the winter. Hope to bump into you guys at some point. ❤
Helen, I have you and James on, watching and listening....but right next to my tablet I have my phone, and in the background I have a "best of" compilation of the best pimple popping videos this year! 😂
Re “shout outs”, I was at two pantos last week and at the end of each of the performances, there were mentions for some of the audience. As James would say “ what’s that abaat?” I had my two granddaughters with me from Vienna, but who really is interested! Just get on with the show and stop messing about!
Absolutely lovin these videos. Me n my steve met on pof. N its coming up to 10yrs in June with been together ❤️. James n Helen remind me of myself n my steve. Keep the vids coming x
Bob Mortimer is my best mate actually, met him once in the early 90’s in the back of the Star & Garter pub in Boro. He wouldn’t hang out with the posh boys with their Commodore 64’s, he was a Spectrum lad 😂
So good you gave Patrick Dickinson a shout out "Hi there!" Lol. Of course I love you two aswell. On your own James, or with Helen, I look forward to all your vids equally 👍
@@bythecurb I would be nervous doing this with my wife, as she’d go full on Borat mankini type embarrassment for me , where as I wouldn’t have the nerve to get anything but flattering clothes for her 😂 Cant wait for the charity shop and wear episode 💕
I would double check the nationwide insurance as you may need to live at the same address for Helen to be covered. We have it too and luckily haven’t had to use it yet 😊
Great video guys an can I say you to are so lovely an funny as well bugger what any haters say we all get from time to time hope you both come back to Northallerton one day we would definitely want to meet up for a few drinks 🍻 🍷😊
What was that "Can you see me, mother?" near the end? I'm sure you know the 1930s comedian Sandy Powell who was from Rotherham: his catchphrase was "Can you hear me, mother?", and his delivery was very similar..!
Happy New Year you two beautiful souls! I love your chats, great entertainment and very thought provoking. I'm so glad I discovered you both this past year when I first saw the video when you stayed at The Grand in Scarborough. I watch lots of the other channels you mentioned (Mr Blot Oooh Matron! Grizzly Gaz and Sheffield pub garden Pat) and just wanted to add some more, even though there's so many of them. Other ones are: Wandering Where. Those Happy Days, Tiny Cabin Man, Alex Wild, Wild Bear, Offcamp Billy, Lundy's Wildcamp, Andy Wardle (keep him away from water!), Outsider Tank, Brothers Wild, Muddy Bootlaces, Lucy Orangina, MCM Outdoors, Wild Cat Adventures, Mr Wild Wales. Outdoor Boys, AB Camping, Steve the Transit Camper, Bushman n Blue and of course the legendary Steve Wallace. There's loads more still! YOUR ALL TOTAL LEGENDS! Looking forward to seeing all your adventures in 2025! XXX❤
It was through watching both Steve Marsh and Planes, Trains and Automobiles that got YT's algorithm to promote your channel to me and a mighty fine suggestion it was.
Hello James and Helen. Just watched all your double video questions and answers etc. Really enjoyed it. Love your humour, great Yorkshire couple. I was born in Jessops in 1966 but people down here in Norfolk are a bit stale with no humour. Been here since I was 10. Your van looks nice same as other utubers we watch called leisure bit..love to u both. Happy New year. Best wishes David and Beverley Norfolk
Helen is right, do other parts of Spain and France, everyone makes vlogs of Benidorm I always watch your channel, I watch a few, st Christopher of Atlantis are good too Happy new year and happy travelling
Hi you 2.. i once walked up Gable straight up from the stretcher box .. it was very steep one from there, it was a remembrance Sunday and once on the top there was a small service.. it was jammed with people..ATB from Canada 👍🙏
Hi just watching this flog or your a lovely couple your made for each other or and be proud of Barnsley we nice people didn't now you lived at this end of Barnsley who wants to live at silkstone posh end well yeah me haha all the best for you both for the new year 🎉
Oysters are filter feeders, I would never eat a raw one, or even a cooked one for that matter as no texture just like a bowl of slime🤣 ! I will eat cockles and mussels that have been cooked even though they too are filter feeders. Gaz Yorkshire
Nice blog and you mentioned the c word and lock down just a smoke screen for the whole world and it was nice hear the greatest steeple Jack of all fred was mentioned in your blog and today he would have agreed with you its all gone sadly Britain is not so great anymore Best wishes to you both on your travels ❤
Keep doing what your doing James and Helen. And just ignore any negative comments alas some specimens have nothing nice to say about anyones youtube content. OH im one of those looking forward to the rant blogs.
Now you mention other UA-camrs who you like, have you ever seen John Rogers or Joolz Guides? They both do tours of London, Joolz does the posh parts, and John does the more out of the way places. They are both very sweet in their own way. Joolz did one about Sherlock Holmes, it was fantastic.
Sending love to Helen, I really related to her talking about her presents from her Mum and it making her feel sad. I find Christmas a really sad, bittersweet time since I lost both of my lovely parents.
Yes, I wish James had let her share…
Never mind what the miseries think, bring back the rants - you are the Archbishop of Ranterbury.
You two are fantastic. You make me laugh out loud. Sod the trolls, keep up the fantastic vlogs. I love the both of you. x x
Thanks mate
I've only just found you're channel & I really enjoying watching you're adventures. I'm Scots born n bred, but went out with a Sunderland lass for a while, so it was lovely to see you're tour of the city. Keep up the good work, here's wishing you good health to enjoy you're vanlife.
Happy New Year to you both and just keep being yourselves . Ignore the miserable sods with negative comments. ❤
What a good laugh watching these two vlogs. We’re a right nosey bunch! Looking forward to the vlogs and trips in 2025! Take care guys!
You two are brilliant, enjoyed this Q&A. Also really like the wandering turnip xx
More rants, please James 😂😂😂😂 they're a tonic 😊
Happy new year to you both , looking forward to watching your travels in 2025
Thank you, Happy New Year :-)
James,please let Helen choose where to go in Spain-you can go to Benidorm after Helen has done a new part 👍 😊
I think they always do a few new towns and city's and finish off in benidorm from the vlogs I've seen .Helen likes benidorm as much as James infact I think when they are out drinking there it's Helen who would stop out later at night 😂 Great couple hope they keep up the good work

Thanks for the laughs, as usual!
Would love to see a colab with Blot Outdoors! 😂😂💜
Completely agree with Helen regarding main stream media not to be trusted...
UA-cam is not an easy thing to do, but it is fun. When it comes to trolls, the way I look at it is, if they are watching your content then it adds to your watch time, so you benefit.

Thanks Andy
People can be 1 dimensional, they don't take the time to realise we are all going through a journey.
Hi James and Helen, an hour long that vlog was, and no it wasn't boring, to me it's like having a friend in my living room. Hope you both had a good new year's eve, I had a couple of Guinness's with my daughter and because I don't normally have alcohol I confess I was sloshed, my daughter thought it was hilarious....well keep up the good work both of you.

Hope you enjoyed the Guinness Debbie 🙂

Commodore 64 loved it , fav game international soccer and daley thompson decathlon lol
Haha I loved international soccer! 🤣

Hi guys, feeling a bit sad for Helen...she clearly was saddened when you mentioned a new van in a couple of years. You are a great couple ❤ I totally get why she won't marry you unless you live with her. So come on James get it sorted ❤
I agree. There are several, subtle signs in this video that Helen is not 100% happy.
Absolutely love you two, you've been an inspiration. Love Helens charity shopping, which ones have been her favourites?
Thank you, Helens favourite charity shop is St Luke's
LOL you two really make me laugh, I am so glad you don't let the trolls get you down, You are doing a great job, I love your channel and all your videos, Happy New year to you both xx
Aw, thank you so much for the kind words and support! ❤️ Happy New Year
What is your dethanition off a troll? Would love you to share your view.. Instead of just a reply comment to this channel??
If you mean Definition? Then it kind of refers to very bitter, self loathing people who post their spiteful/pointless s***e online in a pathetic attempt to get a reaction because they hate their own life. Hope that helps🤗
Shirley Williams was a Labour and SDP MP.
She always reminded me of Ken Dodd, funnily!
@stephenogden5470 I can see that, now you mention it 👍😃.

Surprisingly I was born in the hospital 2 minutes from Ken Dodd's House 😊 I live in Knotty Ash.

Can't wait to see you. Watched your latest video today can't believe what a great year you've had. ❤
Hi James and Helen, I've been a subscriber to the channel from the start but what I am getting to see more of is this relationship tends to be a bit one sided in your favor James. Please let Helen have more of a say, remember this channel wouldn't be what it is without Helen.

Happy new year both 🎉 Love your channel. Power wise I invested in echo flow and got the alternator charger, game changer in the winter. Hope to bump into you guys at some point. ❤
Helen, I have you and James on, watching and listening....but right next to my tablet I have my phone, and in the background I have a "best of" compilation of the best pimple popping videos this year! 😂

Great vlog guys, love it 😊

24 hours in the corner sponsorship? YES, but you're allowed a toilet break 😂
Happy new year too you both
James idea ‘ 24 hrs in the corner of my van’ = bad 😂. Helens idea ‘ Charity Shop and wear’ = Genius.
We're definitely going to do the charity shop thing 🤣
@@bythecurb I would be nervous doing this with my wife, as she’d go full on Borat mankini type embarrassment for me , where as I wouldn’t have the nerve to get anything but flattering clothes for her 😂

Eco flow are good.. ❤ for solar n batterys etc

What was that "Can you see me, mother?" near the end? I'm sure you know the 1930s comedian Sandy Powell who was from Rotherham: his catchphrase was "Can you hear me, mother?", and his delivery was very similar..!
Yes, I loved Sandy Powell, a true entertainer. My grandma was friends with him so I pinched the catchphrase and altered it a bit 😂
Hope your both well ❤
