Really glad I found your blog as I thought you’d stopped. Really inspirational what you have done and opened up to your personal beliefs. Looking forward to catching up on all your life adventures. Chapeau Tim&Mandy.
Im at the farm campsite now, I can see why you like it so much Tim, what a magical place! The views are just stunning, and so peaceful.
What Van are you in Jason?
@@savedpurplecat I see you’ve just pulled up, white VW opposite.
Glad its working out for you both. Hope if things continue to ease up you can get out and about this summer. Not sure why anyone would dislike such a gentle vlog?? Must be Richard Dawkins fans ! :)
Haters gonna hate John, this is our our experience of full time van life...not just going to make videos to get the likes. Hope your doing well mate :) Tim/Mandy
@@savedpurplecat All good thanks.
Was getting worried good to see you guys 👍
Lol we are still alive my friend thanks for stopping by :) Tim/Mandy
Tim & Mandy, thank you for this sample for the 'Good Life". Loved the music, the daffodils, the pancakes (with syrup) and the volleyball. Love your neighbours, the life choices and the resilience to keep going despite setbacks- literally putting roots into the land. It really does sound like the past 8 months on the farm has been an amazing experience and that you both have put your own roots into the land, living in the present and with the seasons and the weather. The Hymer still looks beautiful, as does your trips😊 Amazing and inspiring stories of connections and change😊👍
Hi Gerry thanks so much for stopping by buddy, yes my friend we have enjoyed the whole experience and it has changed us in some ways. We kind of live in a community now, something I never really wanted but here we are and life keeps on bringing along more and more surprises...bless you bro :) Tim/Mandy
Sitting in my room watching this jealous as hell Tim! I would love to be able to just go and live that life no wonder you and Mandy are thinking of making it permanent and i hope you do mate!!! Got to admire Mikey & Natasha for taking a chance on making life feel better seem to be happy as larry and i hope it last forever and he's no bad on the guitar either :) Thanks for uploading this chapter Tim can only wish you & Mandy all the very very best of luck at this time brilliant mate:)) PS wee Jess @ 30:52 "will ye shut up and throw my wee ball" ha ha ha great stuff take care, peter.
Thanks Peter its strange because we were worried what family and friends would think about us living like this and as its turned out people are very accepting. I think its one of those things that if you get a chance in life to do it...go for it. I do believe it has done us all good. Meeting Mikey and Natasha was such a blessing they are the perfect neighbours. Some people do come on here and don't get that we are here to help each other and hopefully enjoy ourselves along the way but they are few and far between. The simple life is the best life. Thanks for dropping by mate :) Tim/Mandy
@@savedpurplecat Your very welcome mate!!! Fingers crossed :)
God bless you Tim. I will never forget the day we met for all of my days, I don't know where my life would have led if the Lord hadn't led me to Him and His saving grace.
Niether me Jordan it was a divine appointment and a remarkable blessing to know you :) Tim/mandy
Hi Tim and Mandy, its been a while since your last upload. Hope you're both keeping well and healthy.
Utterly excellent! Such earthiness with the spirit in amongst you all.
Fine work sir, finely inspired. Perfect! Made my evening Tim. Thanks.
Thanks Sinclair...maybe this pandemic has been used by The Lord to shake us into a far more simple way of living with a faith that is real not "fake it till you make it" again brother thanks for the anointed music :) Tim/Mandy
It’s lovely to hear how well you have fared during these strange times. A beautiful film - thanks for sharing your lives with us.
Thanks guys :) Tim/Mandy
What a beautiful story Tim & Mandy, so much of it touched me in so many ways that I had to let you know. Firstly I also live in my van, five years now and counting. I can't see myself ever going back to any sort of "normal" life. Not because I'm sick of renting or to save up, but because this simple life close to nature is in my opinion where we should be, close to the sacred soil. Secondly I have been Buddhist since my teens, following the Dharma, and it's shaped who I am or maybe who I thought I was. Since CV and fully understanding what's going on globally I felt these teachings came a little short on answers. If evil exists, real tangible evil on such a large scale then surely pure good has to also exist. In Buddhism we create our selves through the laws of karma so no need for a god, higher beings yes but a creator God no and this is where I began to struggle. The reality of that has opened my heart to Jesus, absolutely. I now feel a peace that I could never know before. Thank you Tim for opening up on camera, like I said it moved me and will surely move others.
Jim you have made my day! its always a worry that people will hate you for sharing Jesus... but after all he has done for us how can we remain silent. Thanks so much for sharing my brother :) Tim/Mandy
Good afternoon Tim, thank you for the video and beautiful scenery in Scotland. Take care and stay safe 👍😎🇬🇧.
Hi Wayne good to hear from you bro :) Tim/Mandy
Tim , it looks to me that yours and Mandy's decision to live life this way, was totally RIGHT for you..it feels like your decision has put a smile on Jesus face. You've had some life changing experiences and caused them to happen for others of course along with God . This video was so wonderful to watch and see what it has been like. Totally a blessing for me to watch and absorb. I hope all this continues and may God's will be done as it is in heaven. I love you both.
Thanks Maria hope all is well for you and Penny. We feel privileged to be living like this. Some people see it as a shameful kind of life but there truly are many hidden blessings to living this simple life. God bless you Maria :) Tim/Mandy

I guess this may come to late, but it would be great to meet you if you fancy a tea break in Tebay on your way to or from Scotland.
Sorry we are in Scotland now, would have been nice.
No worries.
Have a great holiday, and the offer is still there for the return journey!
Fantastic video brother, loved every part of it, scenery is beautiful and you have lovely neighbours, be blessed brother in Jesus name and carry on camping. ⛺⛺🌞

You have chosen the right move living in your van
Thanks Gary yes I believe your right :) Tim/Mandy
Fantastic. Good luck guys.
Thanks Lee :) Tim/Mandy
@@savedpurplecat BTW, not sure you'd remember now, I was the embarrassed one in the back of the Bongo up in Scotland at Easter a couple of years ago! I was embarrassed that my wife and father-in-law approached you after I recognised you both :)
@@lengravy Oh Yes! apple cross! Do you know your father in law looked at our engine in the transit and said something was amiss...it had a huge crack in the engine, cost us 2K to fix! tell your father in law he was right lol
The scriptures tell us life is but a vapour!..Enjoy each and every day that ABBA gives you for all days belong to HIM .. HalleluYAH ❤️
Amen Colin what a mighty God we serve :) Tim/Mandy
Wow, great video, amazing seeing ‘real life’ instead of all the nonsense going on now.
Thanks bro yes thats how it feels "real life" :) Tim/Mandy
hope everythung is working out for you,im not sure what I believe but if your beliefs help ou in anyway then you dont know how lucky you are.
Thanks Graham please read John 10:10 in the bible Jesus brings life to the full :) Tim/Mandy
I wonder if more people will of turned to some form or religion as way of coping and as a result of people who appear to be in charge acting like worshiper's of Lucifer.
We know quite a few that have put their faith in Jesus during this time and believe its the best decision they have ever made, thanks for dropping by :) Tim/Mandy
