Hello Helen and Dave, ooh loved to watch you make that gorgeous beef stew. Could smell it cooking. The fire looked amazing. That’s a good idea about the Lavendar, my mum used to make little lavender bags from lavender out of her garden. The smell is amazing. Take care both x Julie and Tony x
Hi Julie & Tony, honestly we did smell of smoke but it was real fun and the stew & beer was very nice too 🍺🥘. We love the smell of lavender as well. Hope you’re both well and best wishes to Archie too. Helen & Dave xx
Hi there Dave & Helen, I hang the towing jacket on the line to dry/air too. I’m not keen on lavender but Gail likes it. Those hurricane lanterns look the business with that camp fire and I bet the beef stew was delicious 😋. I see at the end you were showing off your new bar in your garden room 😂. Best regards, Rob & Gail 😀
Hello again Rob & Gail, it was a different and something we had never tried before and it was really good fun but most of all the grub was very tasty indeed. Hope you enjoyed your recent trip away to Delph Bank. Best wishes, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Sue, honestly it was lovely! The Dutch ovens are great, you can cook anything in them. Breakfast featured in the next vid 😂Hope you’re well and thanks as always, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Donna, hope all is well in your world. We really enjoyed this one, the stew was very tasty indeed. More to come in the next one 👍 Stay safe, Helen & Dave 👍
Great video. We're from Yorkshire, so blessed with loads of pale/blonde beers. Probably my favourite is Oakam Citra. There's loads of breweries near us in West Yorkshire, and some of Sheffield pale ales🍺 are worth looking at.
Hi Glen, another recommendation in for Citra, sounds like I need to give it a try 🍺🍺 My family on my mothers side are all from Sheffield so it seems appropriate to give them a try too 😂🍺. Thanks for watching, Helen & Dave
Hi Helen and Dave. Great video with lovely shots of nature and of course the storm. The stew looked delicious, wish we had smelly vision. Looking forward to the next vlog. These are keeping me going at the moment as our caravanning days have stopped for this year due to having a major operation. Roll on 2025!!! Cheers Terry
Hi there Terry, sorry to hear you’ve had to press pause button on Caravanning and we both wish you the very best with your op. Take it easy 👍 The stew was very tasty indeed as was the beer 🍺. All the best, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Garry, yeah I haven't used one of them since the 70's but you're right, they did add something to the atmosphere (so did the beer lol). Thanks for watching, ATB, Helen & Dave
I’ve always wanted to do the brewery tour. Have done the distillery tour but could not get on the brewery tour. The stew looked loverly but I can’t stand the smell of lavender personally 😂 👍
Hi. En, hope you’re doing well. Enjoyed both tours but the brewery one was better, got to drink more too 🍺🍺. Stew was very tasty and we had a good laugh. Yeah, lavender ain’t for everyone 😂👍 Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Great update video, we really enjoyed it. Fab campfire and what a way to cook beef stew and dumplings. The storm footage was great. All the best both Tris and Nikki 😀😀
@@tristanmorgan8407 Hi Tris & Nikki, we thoroughly enjoyed this little trip even if we did end up smelling like an old bonfire 😂. The stew was very tasty and the storm was a little bonus. Thanks as always, Helen and Dave 👍
That intro, wildlife and night time camera work and editing was really special, great stuff. Next week, Helen and Dave go canoeing on a bushcraft trip with Simon, a bloke in the woods and Kent Survival, hot tenting and doing what Bears do in the woods. Oh, and the drink I recommend on a cold winter night is Stroh Austrian 80% rum…
Mel, your comments are just the best 😂🤣. Actually, we do watch Kent Survival too and how did you know about the canoeing trip??? We had a good time filming this one, join us next year for our annual gathering and you too could be smelling like a bonfire 😂. Cheers, Helen & Dave 👍
Hi Helen and Dave, Well this one has been different but very enjoyable 😉. Takes me back to the Scout days and a canvas tent 😅. The stew looked very yummy 😋. How quick they arrived 😂. Can't believe you put your ghostship in the pot 😮 Badger golden glory amber ale or my home town Ossett brewery silver king. That must have been Dave heaven in the brewery 🍻. Loved the drawer liner tip 👌. Take care and enjoy as always. Paul and Joanne 👍 😍
Hi Paul & Joanne, we had a lot of fun making this one and honestly the stew was amazing but we all smelled like kippers at the end of the night! Thank goodness for Helen's Lavender ha ha. Thanks for the beer tips, I'll add them to my list and might start doing a beer of the week as recommended by! Brewery trip was great and adding Ghost Ship to the stew just edged it lol. Thanks as always, Helen & Dave.
@HelenandDave Hi, thanks. Maybe a new channel, Daves Daily Drink Documentary 🤣 You should ask all the subscribers if a big meet-up next Yr would be an idea, we are sure it would be 👍
@@Meggy6571 we are contemplating a meet up, will see how Helen is getting on with her shoulders but in the meantime a drinking documentary sounds like fun ha ha ha. Cheers, Helen & Dave.
Hi Helen and Dave a brilliant video as ever and looks like you all had a great time down at dunwich The site looked great and loved the camp fire and looked pretty sat outside with all the lanterns That Stew… could have demolished that with some crusty bread nice one dave you should call that ghost stew! Love a ghost ship myself and tried an alcohol free one recently as been on antibiotics and was very pleased with it looking forward to going over to southwold hopefully next Easter so will be visiting and stocking up also on broadside! Fantastic pics of the storm and the sea incidentally did you get to see northern lights? Helen I’ve always made those lavender bags and still do now my mom taught me! They are great in drawers Anyway hope you are keeping well we are all good well after a bumpy road with a minor hospital stay for me! All the best to you all Daniel
Morning Daniel, good to hear from you again. We had a really enjoyable stay here and the campfire cooking was really good fun too. Ghost Stew! 👍😂 Broadside is a good beer and the non alcoholic Ghost Ship is very close to the real thing. Hope you’re recovering well from your hospital stay. Yes, we saw the Northern Lights but we were back home then. Thanks as always, much appreciated, Helen & Dave
Great video - really enjoyed this one. The timelapse of the storm at the beginning was brilliant. James Martin eat your heart out on the cooking - Dave even had the foresight to sit upwind to avoid the smoke when he started 😀
Thanks Graham, we did enjoy making this too. You noticed my strategy to avoid the smoke, impressed but we did all smell like kippers by the end of the night. Thanks for watching, Helen & Dave
Quote of the day: "better in the dark" :D Coincidentally we went back to New Lodge Farm last week and bought the same floral tea cups as Helen has but in blue. Them lavender posies look great, well done Lady Helen, well done indeed :)
Fraudulent slip ha ha! New Lodge Farm is one we need to get back to as well, we really liked it there. Helen's Lavender smelt really good and helped block out the smell of bonfires lol. Best wishes to you, Helen & Dave
@@HelenandDave There are times in this video where you look like you had a good eyeful of that bonfire, I bet the copious amounts of alcohol lessened the pain :D
Wow! I love the idea of cooking over the open fire like this, I know my husband would, man make 🔥 😂. I’ve just picked a huge bunch of lavender and am going to make some bags. I add lavender oil to my laundry liquid that I make. ( Nancy Birtwhistle’s recipe) looking forward to the next one.
Hi Sandra, do you know what, it was different and it was fun and the food was lovely, we really enjoyed the experience. The lavender smells so good. Do you make your own oil or do you buy it? We often visit the lavender farm at Heacham in Norfolk. Thanks as always, Helen & Dave
Hi guys looked like a fab time doing a bit of camping, that stew looked good😋😋😋 helen looks better 😊 look forward to the Adnams tour, take care of each other xx
@@bjmil421 thanks for the recommendation, never tried but 4.5%, cloudy pale ale, roll before drinking to mix the sediment, sounds interesting 🍻 cheers, Dave & Helen 👍
Hi Dave, great video and the hot pot looked great! Have you tried 'Citra' from the Oakham brewery? All of their beers are good but Citra is my favourite favourite. As the name suggests it's very fruity and smooth. Goes down a bit too well! Give it a try.👍🍺
Hi Philip, thanks, I haven’t tried Citra but have made a note and will see if I can get hold of it and give it a try, sounds like my kind of beer. Cheers 🍻 Dave & Helen 👍
Hi that stew looked delicious love a good camp fire with friends. I don't like storms in caravan but keith loves watching lightening over the sea. We're away nxt week. Thankyou. Xxxx
Sorry? did you say you're away lol what a surprise! Good on ya Alison & Keith, make the most of it too. Think we will be away next week too. The campfire cooking was a first but we all really enjoyed it. Safe travels, Helen & Dave
Loved the intro to this one Dave. Surprised you managed to cook that lovely stew while having them beers. Also thought you were going up in flames at one point. 😂🔥🥵
Hi Lesley, I smelled like a Yarmouth Bloater by the time I'd finished but it was great fun and the stew was amazing. Hope you & Ronnie are well and we'll catch you soon. ATB, Helen & Dave
Thank you Gail, the smell of Lavender was just what we needed after the campfire smoke lol. Great fun though and the stew was really tasty.Campfire breakfast next week lol. Thanks for watching. Helen & Dave
Hi Dave and Helen, oh you can't beat cooking on an open log fire, all the lovely heat as well, I'm also a lover of the back to basics camping Dave, very little equipment needed, to have hours of enjoyment, you'll have to get to Kent again to do the Shepard and Neame brewery tour, all the best and safe travels Neil
Hi Neil, we had a lot of fun making this one and although it was our first time with th old camp fire, we will deffo be doing it again. Look out for the brewery tour next week. That was a lot of fun too. Hope you're all well. Best wishes, Helen & Dave
Looked a proper feast that Dave, my type of meal for sure. Poor old Fiona missing out on the good stuff. A lovely ale for you to try which I think you'll enjoy is Brewdog Wingman, even better if you can get it on offer 😜 Cheers.
Thanks Andy, it was a good crack and guess what, got 2 Brewdog Wingman cans in the fridge but through default I've just reached for the `Ghost Ship, I'll let you know my thoughts on the Wingman when I've tried it though. ATB, Helen & Dave
Cheers Ronnie, the stew was amazing, really enjoyed it with a few beers to wash it down. Hope your recovery is going well. Catch you soon, Helen & Dave
Hi Neville, we picked it up from Norwich Camping but also some stuff on Amazon, see below here's a couple of links. The Travel Fire Pit (you might get this from a local camping store) www.kadai.co.uk/shop/view/302-Travel-Fire-Pit-Collection/8331-Kadai-Portable-BBQ and also the dutch oven and other bits www.amazon.co.uk/shop/caravantastic/list/2MTH0HUSAQPSZ?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d Lot's of fun and something I know we will be using much more of. Cheers, Helen & Dave
Hi Nigel, thanks for the lovely feedback, the Adnams brewery tour was something else, tune in next week! Late night stew was very good, early morning toilet trips was another thing lol. Thanks again, Helen & Dave
Daniel Boone it was not 😄but it looked great fun! Hurricane lamps were a nice touch. Where did you get the perfectly cut firewood from, Harrods? 😂I am taking the Mickey a little but I thoroughly enjoyed the video. The food looked wonderful and I would like to have a try at that kind of outdoor cooking myself. You have inspired me 😄
Hi Stephen, yeah, like I said at the start of the video we took our own firewood with us (we have a log burner at home). We did also burn wood which we foraged but it was so dirty and caused so much smoke that we ditched that idea. It was great fun, the food was wonderful and so was the company and it made for a different and quite exciting caravanning experience. Give it a go, you might like it too. Cheers, Helen & Dave
