Really like the island thingy, can't help but think we would need to take a tent, food and chocolate for Alison just in case. Currently playing catch-up after a manic couple of weeks, think we now just have this week's video to watch and we are back up to speed. Anyway hope to see you both soon, much love Darren and Alison 🤟♥️
I mean, you probably wouldn't be the first to take a tent, food and chocolate 😁 I think the coastguard patrol so not sure if you're even allowed to stay on there anymore, but I imagine it's quite dramatic if you do. No worries on catching up, I know what it's like, you can't watch everything all the time so don't worry about it, you've got enough going on right now. Hope your slow travel back is going well much love ❤️ 🤟
I think they meant dragon as "wyrm" or "wurme" meant serpent, but that could also mean dragon as well...err, I think 🤔 😂 Hope you're both doing okay x ❤️
Aww thank you, that's really kind of you. Sorry to hear you can't travel at the moment. Understandably, it's not something that can always be done easily, and we can only do so because we uprooted our lives...for how long, who knows. We're pleased you can scratch some of that travel itch via us, so that's something, and we hope you continue to enjoy our future adventures 😍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it ❤️ Yes we got very very lucky, but that was just before the dreadful rain hit us hard. That said, West Wales seemed to escape most of it!
@@comealongdear Yes, I'm sure it's lovely. This is the problem with many places - touristy! Very difficult to get parked in Keswick nowadays, especially in high summer, The Lake District is being ruined by over-tourism, so is the Great Wall of China! South Queensferry, Scotland: stowed with tourists wanting to get a boat over to nearby island(s) and cars parked up for a good way, on the road leading back out of the town. 😠
It's a difficult balance - on the one hand, it's wonderful to visit all these places, on the other, as you say, it can become a problem in its own right. One benefit of being in a van is being able to visit the lesser known locations, and also out of season. Tenby is not somewhere we'd want to visit in school holidays or even on a weekend if we could help it, gorgeous as it is
Oh, what a charming slice of Wales you've got there! Those views are simply stunning. I must say, it takes some serious courage to be crossing that-I'd be a bundle of nerves! But hey, at least you snagged some gorgeous shots of Tenby. Jealous over here!
Afternoon Paul, we felt a bit spoilt in this part of the country. Like Scotland, you come here to find the escapes into all that rugged, wild British scenery and the old, historical towns. It feels like being in a fantasy novel 😍 Yeah I think the dangers of that Worm Head walk are seriously downplayed, there's constant hazards, and it really isn't appropriate for everyone. Fun though and an immense bit of coastline! Thank you and hope you're well 😊 ❤️
Thank you, oh god we love Barafundle! One of the best beaches we've seen, we went a couple of years ago. Would love to go back and do a video if possible 😍
Been to Tenby twice and love it! Clear water, lovely old buildings/ruins and they do some yummy fish n chips ♥ Would love to bump into you both for a beer or 2! Take care boys😘x aye!
Second time for us too! The water there is pristine and as you say, it has so many old buildings/ruins around the beaches, cliffs and town...just divine! And thank you, that sounds lovely 😍 Have a good Sunday ❤️
@@comealongdear I have been to the Gower a few times over the years including worms head but didn't know that the dragon bit was an island. That beach is stunning there is also a very sweet church in Rhossili, tiny ( not sure if you found it!) Used to camp at Oxwich bay with my family when I was a child x
We sadly didn't get time to explore the beach itself or find the church, but that would've been nice, we love cute and unusual churches. Oxwich Bay looks quite special 😍
You're braver than me, going over that rocky bridge. I would turn an ankle and be in the drink and drowned before anyone noticed. Nice job on the colourful kitchen tiles. Personally, I'd go for boring ones, but I'm a grumpy old Capricorn. :) Stephen looks to have lost more weight around the middle. Well done. Cheers. Jon in rural BC, Canada
Morning Jon, thank you, you must be awake at the crack of dawn there! Stephen has lost weight, he'll appreciate you noticing 😁 That bridge was hair-raising indeed, and much thinner than it looked on camera. I do wonder how many accidents have befallen people on that island, and that's before the issue of being cut off by the sea. But since we survived, it was a fun adventure nonetheless. Thank you and hope you're well in Canada 🇨🇦
@@comealongdear 2:54 AM here. I'm a night owl. I'm watching a lot of the US Trump debacle; so irritating that such a fool is running for President while being indicted for crimes against America. Once the election is over, I think I'll unsubscribe to those UA-cam channels so my brain doesn't implode. Meanwhile, it's like watching a train wreck. It's hard not to look. I'm on new medication, for my diabetes, so feeling better. Still so much to do getting my house sorted out and decluttered. And I must get back to writing. I've neglected my book terribly. Cheers. Jon in rural BC, Canada
Oh wow that's earlier than I thought- for some reason I assumed about 6 hours behind us, but it looks to be 8. Nowt wrong with being a night owl at all. I'm optimistic Trump isn't taking this, I can't see where these voters who didn't vote him in in 2020 are suddenly surging from now - Meanwhile Kamala will hopefully revitalise a few people into voting who might not have done so otherwise. That's my hope anyway, but US elections often seem terrifyingly close, ours are a lot more predictable. I know what you mean though, sometimes you have to switch yourself off from it completely for your own sanity. Interesting about writing a book! I have dabbled before, but sadly I procrastinate too much to ever dedicate enough time to it. Maybe one day though! All the best, and glad your meds are working out well 😊
As always, I have a cheesy smile. Thank you for the beautiful blog showing such lovely places You're both my perfect sunshines🌞🌞 on a beautiful sunday. Thank you so so much 🩵🩵
I have spent many a night, and day for that matter, out on the Worm, I usually take a light lure rod with me, I love I out there. You can also go to the other end of Rhosilli Bay and get onto Burry Holmes, you'll also get cut off out there as well. It's smaller and not as 'comfortable' as the Worm, but just as dramatic I it's own secluded way..
I bet that feels really liberating to take yourself off to a place like that, get lost in the atmosphere while fishing, no one to bother you, some food and drink. We bumped into a fisherman who sounded like he did similar and knew the island inside out. Sounds like the perfect escape to me, I hope you still get to enjoy it out there sometimes 😁👍
Great video as usual thank you very much for all your hard work. I’m not sure which one of you it was suggested putting horseradish with fish in a previous video. I tried it. It’s amazing. Xx
Hi Linda, thank you ❤️ Oh excellent, I can't remember who said it either, but we both love it, and I remember getting the idea from my mum who will often eat fish with horseradish. It's the perfect fit! Mackerel and smoked salmon work with it best I feel 😍
Good morning boys, always a nice way to start my Sunday seeing you two. I didn’t know about Worms Island - it looks great, really interesting rock formation - I’d love to see it but the ‘causeway looks’ really hard to walk across. Shame you didn’t get to Caldey Island, we managed to get there quite a long time ago - even with 3 dogs can you believe it 🙄. Thanks for the lovely footage of Tenby - we didn’t explore it because it was just so busy - I can’t cope with crowds, especially with dogs, so it was nice to see so much of it in your video. Looking forward to your next video already - stay well and safe. ❤️❤️
Morning Irene 😊 That's brilliant you managed to get to Caldey with the dogs! They don't mind boats, then? 😁 We were so disappointed as that was going to be much of the video, however it was still great to film Tenby and walk around there. You're right though, it is super popular which is partly why I didn't film too much of the town itself as it got so busy. The causeway on Worm Island was very long and slippery, we expected it to take 5 minutes but that section alone was a good half hour one way. Still, a memorable walk and it's worth going to the Gower Peninsula and Rhossili beach (there's a National Trust car park) even if you don't go onto Worm itself. Thank you and take care, see you next time ❤️
@@comealongdear I don’t know if the Caldey ferry still allows dogs, I would hope so (ours were all collie size - rescues) . I hope you’ve got better weather than us - drizzle and the cloud is down ☹️. I’m just about to do some excercises to try and boost my mood. ❤️❤️
A quick google suggests they are still allowed 😁 We have left Wales now (but there's 2 more videos in the can to go) and the weather wasn't great, right now we're in the south east and it's been on and off. Definitely no Indian summer this year! Hope your exercises went well and gave you a boost 🙏❤️
Morning, thank you ❤️ Oh it's been a while since we did a cooking in the van section isn't it, must remember to do one again soon, or an eating out one 😁
Aww that's brilliant, thank you for subscribing to us and watching our videos, it's always heartening to read when someone has found us and enjoyed what we've put out there. Thank you and welcome to the channel 😍 So pleased you liked the Sandwich one, what a delightful little place to grow up in. I definitely feel like it gets forgotten sometimes in that little corner of the world, so we were happy to do a video on it
Worm island looks beautiful and Tenby. I miss the pubs in the UK. Not the same here in Germany so seeing them in Tenby made me a bit homesick! As ever, enjoy watching you two!! X
Hi Denise, thank you as always ❤️ Tenby is just gorgeous. The combination of the beautiful buildings and that spectacular beach and cliffs make it very special. Worm Island was great fun but we definitely underestimated how long you'd need! And although we didn't film it (impossible unless we fancied a trip to A&E or worse) that scrambling section at the end was actually horrific 😂 UK pubs are a unique beast, aren't they! Lovely olde worlde places that, even with so many closures, we seem to have plenty of. We expected to see more in Germany, but we did find a few cosy ones. I think the UK is definitely king on that front (except the prices obviously 🤪). Have a great Sunday and thanks for watching 🤗
You've sold it to me. The Gower and Tenby. I've been meaning to go there for a long time. I've been tending to stick with nearer home but it looks like I might have to do a long drive. ilona
Oh Ilona definitely if you can, you'll adore it! Should be easier for you to find park ups in your car too than for vans. Tenby less easy (but still some valid-ish options) and Gower can be tricky too, but if you struggle you can just visit for the day and then drive elsewhere a few miles to find a suitable park up. It's a beautiful area and a change of scenery is often just the ticket ❤️
@@comealongdear Thanks for showing the area. I can find a nice residential street near other cars, to park up. Get in the back and nobody knows I am there.
You're very welcome, we're glad it's inspired you to visit. This is why smaller vehicles are seriously underrated 😍 Especially in the UK where it's not exactly easy otherwise.
Funnily enough the Swedish word for snake is orm and I wouldn't be surprised if that's where it's derived from. Our word for worm is mask. Those ragged rocks probably resembled the back of a very large snake or dragon. So many nature formations that trigger the mind. I love it. That whole Worm's Head area was breathtaking (I bet in more sense than just one😂)! I bet the cancellations were because of the storm. Hope you did alright. Too bad you didn't get to go, but Tenby was really pretty. I think I like Wales. The weather seemed nice as well. Here the frost has started to show up in the morning and Friday it was - 4 and I had to scrape the windwhield before going to work. I really don't like that. Time to get used to putting on the windshield insulation for the nights now. Ugh. Still, the days are sunny so "it is what it is" or det är som det är, as we say here. 😅 Thanks for a lovely video. Cheers from Skåne!
Good Morning to our favourite Skånian 😍 (I'm sure Skånian is not the term, but you know what I mean). Orm! I love that, that must come from wyrm/wurme/worm then, especially since those words often originated from your neck of the woods 😁 Either way, as you say, it's a unique bit of land that does allow the imagination to wander...which isn't great when you're on a time limit to beat the tide 😉 We've loved Wales, especially this side of it. There is so much more space for nature here than in England. We got lucky with the weather, we filmed it just before all the endless rain hit, although weirdly Wales escaped most of it. Temperature wise we've been pretty lucky, although as we speak, it's starting to dip significantly. Frost on the windscreen, the sign of all those interminably dark months ahead...we can wake up with it staring at us in the van, sometimes frosting on the inside right by our noses 😂🙈 We have screen protectors but they aren't perfect. That said we do enjoy winter, when you get to focus on the cosy aspects, but like in Sweden I'm sure, it outstays its welcome by about 2 months. Det är som det är though I guess 😜 Thank you and have a lovely week ❤️
@@comealongdear I agree, winter should be a month and then over and done with, but no such luck here. 😂 The insulation covers do work here, it probably is different if people are inside. Last winter it dropped to - 20 a few night's and I was so happy not having to scrape anything. Less time out in the cold is a win. 🙃 That, and hot chocolate. Maybe spiced up with a teensy bit of rum or one of those chocolate lollies for hot milk. Yum! Have a great week!
Addition: just struck me. The suffix "by" is "Scandinavian"/Swedish for "village" or "town" in Danish and maybe Norwegian as well . I wonder if that's true for any X-bys in Wales/Britain? Now I have to see if I can find out. 🤪
-20! Dear god...we should never dare compare our climate to yours ever again 😂 The worst we've had in the van is -6. Mind you, we have always stayed in the south in the winter, although we'd love to see Scotland in the snow.
Hello, well I hope your wish comes true one day! Funny, we think the same, but in reverse (you're in USA, right?) we'd love to get to explore your country one day. Well, me more than Stephen in America's case! In the meantime, and if it never happens, we're very grateful for the beautiful lands on our doorstep - and being so close to mainland Europe isn't too shabby, either 😁 All the best ❤️
@@comealongdear I did enjoy it Dan. Your photography gets better every vid. What a beautiful little town. Its been said by others and ill say it again, I dont know why you lads dont have a bigger following. Hang in there, things take time.
Ah Greg thank you so much for saying so, we really appreciate that 😊 And as much as it'd be great for the channel to grow, we are really happy there's people out there who enjoy our videos and leave their thoughts and feedback every week. I love our little following 😍 It's just good to be able to share this experience we're having living in a van for however long we do it, and if it gives a few people some entertainment or inspiration, then we're happy 😊 Thank you ❤️
i was born in Rochester Kent and came back for a holiday from Australia in 2009. My uncle and auntie took me out for meals and my uncle seemed to know all the places to get a bargain, like a curry and a pint for 6 pounds, or fish and chips two meals for the price of one on a particular day. Do you guys know all these sorts of places and do you use them to save money and eat out at the same time? Maybe you can include these types of places with specials in your adventures. I see you mostly cook in the van to save money but if you have time on your hands you can search these places out. Sometimes it involves cutting coupons out of the paper. That sort of information is very handy for people who might be coming on holiday to know, especially people on a tight budget.
Hi Ashley, we know Rochester quite well, I worked there briefly, and we've often travelled through and been there for different reasons. Curry and a pint for 6 quid, that sounds right up our street 😍 While we often eat in the van because we know what we're cooking and because like most people, we can't eat out all the time, your ideas are great and things like that would often encourage us to eat out more. I feel like such deals are fewer and far between these days though, but maybe we're just not looking hard enough. If we do find any deals like that though and we use them, we'll be sure to try to include it in the video in future. Thanks for the tips 😊❤️
Which one, the one by Worm's Head? I didn't think you could there, but there is another one on the other side of the peninsula that costs similar I think. If we go back we'll probably try it out 😊
Really like the island thingy, can't help but think we would need to take a tent, food and chocolate for Alison just in case.
Currently playing catch-up after a manic couple of weeks, think we now just have this week's video to watch and we are back up to speed. Anyway hope to see you both soon, much love Darren and Alison 🤟♥️

I'm so lucky to live in Swansea, the area is absolutely outstanding ❤️
Yes we were saying how amazing to have a big city so close to so much nature, countryside and coastline! Best of both worlds 😍
Morning boys! Absolutely beautiful that part of wales , great vlog as always, xx
Morning Lindsay! 🤗 It's a stunning region, every part of that coastline is picture perfect. Lovely to hear from you as always ❤️

Funnily enough the Swedish word for snake is orm and I wouldn't be surprised if that's where it's derived from. Our word for worm is mask. Those ragged rocks probably resembled the back of a very large snake or dragon. So many nature formations that trigger the mind. I love it. That whole Worm's Head area was breathtaking (I bet in more sense than just one😂)!
I bet the cancellations were because of the storm. Hope you did alright. Too bad you didn't get to go, but Tenby was really pretty. I think I like Wales.
The weather seemed nice as well. Here the frost has started to show up in the morning and Friday it was - 4 and I had to scrape the windwhield before going to work. I really don't like that. Time to get used to putting on the windshield insulation for the nights now. Ugh. Still, the days are sunny so "it is what it is" or det är som det är, as we say here. 😅
Thanks for a lovely video.
Cheers from Skåne!
Good Morning to our favourite Skånian 😍 (I'm sure Skånian is not the term, but you know what I mean).
Orm! I love that, that must come from wyrm/wurme/worm then, especially since those words often originated from your neck of the woods 😁 Either way, as you say, it's a unique bit of land that does allow the imagination to wander...which isn't great when you're on a time limit to beat the tide 😉
We've loved Wales, especially this side of it. There is so much more space for nature here than in England.
We got lucky with the weather, we filmed it just before all the endless rain hit, although weirdly Wales escaped most of it. Temperature wise we've been pretty lucky, although as we speak, it's starting to dip significantly.
Frost on the windscreen, the sign of all those interminably dark months ahead...we can wake up with it staring at us in the van, sometimes frosting on the inside right by our noses 😂🙈 We have screen protectors but they aren't perfect.
That said we do enjoy winter, when you get to focus on the cosy aspects, but like in Sweden I'm sure, it outstays its welcome by about 2 months.
Det är som det är though I guess 😜
Thank you and have a lovely week ❤️
Great Orme Head is in North Wales near Llandudno. The Neolithic copper mine is well worth a visit.
@@comealongdear I agree, winter should be a month and then over and done with, but no such luck here. 😂 The insulation covers do work here, it probably is different if people are inside. Last winter it dropped to - 20 a few night's and I was so happy not having to scrape anything. Less time out in the cold is a win. 🙃 That, and hot chocolate. Maybe spiced up with a teensy bit of rum or one of those chocolate lollies for hot milk. Yum!
Have a great week!
Addition: just struck me. The suffix "by" is "Scandinavian"/Swedish for "village" or "town" in Danish and maybe Norwegian as well . I wonder if that's true for any X-bys in Wales/Britain? Now I have to see if I can find out. 🤪
-20! Dear god...we should never dare compare our climate to yours ever again 😂 The worst we've had in the van is -6. Mind you, we have always stayed in the south in the winter, although we'd love to see Scotland in the snow.
I've always wanted to visit Wales. If I ever win the lottery, it'll be my first destination. Thanks for another great video.
Hello, well I hope your wish comes true one day! Funny, we think the same, but in reverse (you're in USA, right?) we'd love to get to explore your country one day. Well, me more than Stephen in America's case! In the meantime, and if it never happens, we're very grateful for the beautiful lands on our doorstep - and being so close to mainland Europe isn't too shabby, either 😁 All the best ❤️
Am I first again, how cool, Good to see you boys.
I think you might be, Greg 😁 Good morning to you, hope you enjoy the video ❤️
@@comealongdear I did enjoy it Dan. Your photography gets better every vid. What a beautiful little town.
Its been said by others and ill say it again, I dont know why you lads dont have a bigger following.
Hang in there, things take time.
Ah Greg thank you so much for saying so, we really appreciate that 😊 And as much as it'd be great for the channel to grow, we are really happy there's people out there who enjoy our videos and leave their thoughts and feedback every week. I love our little following 😍 It's just good to be able to share this experience we're having living in a van for however long we do it, and if it gives a few people some entertainment or inspiration, then we're happy 😊 Thank you ❤️
i was born in Rochester Kent and came back for a holiday from Australia in 2009. My uncle and auntie took me out for meals and my uncle seemed to know all the places to get a bargain, like a curry and a pint for 6 pounds, or fish and chips two meals for the price of one on a particular day. Do you guys know all these sorts of places and do you use them to save money and eat out at the same time? Maybe you can include these types of places with specials in your adventures. I see you mostly cook in the van to save money but if you have time on your hands you can search these places out. Sometimes it involves cutting coupons out of the paper. That sort of information is very handy for people who might be coming on holiday to know, especially people on a tight budget.
Hi Ashley, we know Rochester quite well, I worked there briefly, and we've often travelled through and been there for different reasons. Curry and a pint for 6 quid, that sounds right up our street 😍 While we often eat in the van because we know what we're cooking and because like most people, we can't eat out all the time, your ideas are great and things like that would often encourage us to eat out more. I feel like such deals are fewer and far between these days though, but maybe we're just not looking hard enough.
If we do find any deals like that though and we use them, we'll be sure to try to include it in the video in future. Thanks for the tips 😊❤️
Tenby two. It is what it is 🤷🏻♂ Not quite like the Famous Five but OK 😄
I don't recall the Famous Five drinking rum and beer like us, but we could always recreate some of their adventures and add that in 😁
@@comealongdear you should watch Comic Strip Presents 😜 very funny
@@comealongdear You should check out The Comic Strip Presents and their Famous Five Episodes, 'Timmy, You're so licky'. Very funny 😜
Ooh I'll get onto that! How the hell have I never heard of that?! We love some of those people involved. Thanks for the heads up 😍❤️
I think you can stay in that carpark over night for £10
Which one, the one by Worm's Head? I didn't think you could there, but there is another one on the other side of the peninsula that costs similar I think. If we go back we'll probably try it out 😊
It's pronounced Rossilly 😂
