Tried to use and it said only available for selected products :/ I was trying to buy the 20% cbd oil.
Unfortunately when youre on warfarin you cannot take anything with CBD in
I just bought CBD thanks for the code 😊
I used to help with extreme hip pain last year from March to Nov when I had my hip replaced. It was amazing.
Not recommended for us oldies, well anyone over 55!!
Guys! Come to Northumberland! There are no people! Just BIG SKY! So love it here. Cheaper too.
We're planning to. 😁
YOURE RIGHT, there ARE a lot more van lifers in the UK than spain....because so many people are now having to live in their vans and caravans....you're better off living in spain.....❤
Although a lovely holiday in Spain is very relaxing in the sun ,but there's nothing like the beautiful green tree's and fields of Britain and we are lucky we don't have to suffer the punishing heat and droughts that a lot of hot countries have in the summer months also I am sure the dogs prefer the cooler weather .
I've said it before but here it is again. The UK is beautiful!
I agree it is beautiful as are the people.
It really isn’t
The uk is a broken hell hole on the whole. Albeit, I agree with your statement regarding the landscape and the people… everything else…. UTTERLY BROKEN…
Sending regards x
I remember taking the motorhome to Norfolk, height barriers everywhere. Head North guys, less traffic and more accommodating for a van.
Those colorful cliffs were fantastic.
You forgot Ireland! Most expensive place but seriously best pub culture! Friendly people, and greenest country ever! But i am still in Spain too much going on in Ireland at moment😢😢😢
Great Vid👍👍and music for my late Saturday eve relax. Happy travels yoo all. Cheers🙏🙏🙏Be blessed.
"Have a quick coffee"---Well I'll say.....couldn't be quicker!!!💗
I really enjoyed the coffee sequences. Made me laugh. Slurp!
Great video as always. Norfolk is very pretty! Glad you had some sunshine. Looking forward to the next one.
A norfolk subscriber such a beautiful video despite the weather not being as beautiful. Happy adventuring, take care guys xx
Lovely views of Norfolk. Please remember to check the tides when planning a beach walk. It can catch you out so quickly…….. Thanks for sharing. x
It’s truly lovely to see your journey (literally and emotionally) and whilst you see each other every day, I only see you once each week and this week’s is profoundly different IMHO. I hope I’m not overstepping here… acceptance (of grief) does not, as previously thought, occur in chronological stages or steps. Yes there are stages but in the journey, we might have one step forward, two back, four forward, one back and all we can do is go with it… It’s ok to feel happy and to laugh and with that, at the most unexpected moments, grief might come crashing in, like a fkn tsunami. It’s part of our journey and in my experience, we don’t “get over” losing somebody we love but instead, it becomes a part of us and we live with the loss and carry them with us in our journey.
I feel such admiration for you both having the conviction and commitment to keep your amazing channel going and to share your journey with us. Sending the warmest hugs.
Seeing UK summer weather again, reaffirms my decisions and whilst I holiday in Catalunya, I look forward to heading south to Andalusia again in a month or so.
Sadly, 14 years of budget cuts and austerity have resulted in local councils being savagely starved of funds and whilst I don’t necessarily agree with their obsession with screwing us for every last penny (e.g. parking), I understand their need. Before Shropshire, I lived in Sussex and it was normal to apply for and pay to park in front of your own home! Utterly absurd…
Stay happy, keep the channel authentic and best wishes.
Thanks for finally checking out Norfolk, I really do love it there. We need to meet for coffee or so, my treat to you x.
Your van is very charming, beautiful villages.
Must say... now that none of us are kids any more 😢.... your new van seems a tad easier, more comfy. You certainly deserve a bit more luxury.. all is looking great.
NICK! Dang.. now I'm NEEDING some decent Fish & Chips! 😮 🐟
Just right! Beautiful tour and glimpse of your travels. 🌞
I’m sick of height barriers. Norfolk was the last straw for us with our motorhome. Only managed to visit 1 beach because of height barriers. Actually made it make up our mind to sell it and go back to having a caravan. We find it gives us much more freedom to explore. Love those doggies though!
Yeah there’s barriers everywhere isn’t there, must be worse in the height of summer as a fair few are down now it’s a bit quieter, the UK really don’t like campervans and motorhomes really does it😅
I think you’ll find that Ireland is pretty renowned for its pubs, although as an Irish person who only has a couple of drinks a year, I prefer the café culture of mainland Europe myself.
I said the same thing to myself much prefer a good coffee.
Timings probably won’t work for you but the best seal spot we have found is a place called Donna Nook on the Lincolnshire coast, it’s where the seals come to give birth. There’s a fence to keep humans and seals separate but there’s often seal pups just a few feet away. Typically all the activity takes place late October to the end of November.
Yes, unfortunately Winter is the best time to see Seals especially with their pups but hopefully we'll see some over the next few days and there will be fewer humans. 😂
@@theexPAWers is Scotland beckoning? I was there last week, we got across to the Orkneys and they were epic. Drove back through Glencoe on Friday and it was a scorching 28 degrees. Enjoy your travels guys.
You really should have paid for the car park at Holkham. Some things really are worth paying for guys. The beach is wonderful and perfect for dogs. Don’t always shy away from paying
It was the fact that it said you needed to request prior permission in a bigger van, should have parked up though so we both could have walked all along the beach.
I can imagine it would be rather an expensive way to travel if they start paying for car parks as well as for fuel.
@@theexPAWers be wary of the Norfolk scarecrows they're out there. ha
@@theexPAWers I may be wrong but I think the car parks that said you needed permission was at Wells next the Sea. The one further round the coast at Holkham is a Pay & Display and when we were last there lots of campervans were parked for the day.
In summer the Household Cavalry exercise the horses there.
I have done two driving holidays (out of 4 trips to the UK...both of my driving trips were in campervans..both trips I ended up finding some very interesting park-ups, like yourself...these sorts of spots really make a trip memorable..I always checked for any signs about parking limits, I even took photos of signs, just in case, especially if the meters did not require payment for after hours parking and when fees started in the mornings..it was better to have my arse covered..I spent one night parked in a cul-de-sac, just past houses, so that I would not be an annoyance...I stayed in quite a few jaw dropping sites...and I'm an Aussie who has done four holidays in the UK..I'd love to do a fifth, but I doubt I'll ever have enough money to do so again..
Hi There Nick Sarah Dizzy and Charlie , Hope all are well , Great video , some lovely places you found , so Thank you for sharing , keep up your great work , take care all , XX🌅🌞👍👍
Well well well! I’m glad you went to Wells next to the sea!
It is more beautiful than I remembered it 52 years ago…
I think those less ‘modern’ lobster pots were around then. 😂😊❤
27:20 Never cut with a knife towards you Sarah. Always away from you. Enjoyed you're video.
Great to see you in stunning Norfolk. You'll so love the seals at Horsey, a real treat. Enjoy Norfolk guys and doggies.
Omg the lights and beeps from the Ducato! Big Brother is stressing you, that‘s how I feel about it!
Absolutely loved watching this. Watched it twice, actually once with husband. Such superb editing and you made me laugh, which I needed. Just got back from Summer in the van in Ireland and Wales. You‘re right about the supermarkets. They‘re empty now, though. I bought everything to get me through until I‘m back over for Scotland.
Btw we headed to Dolbadarn castle after watching one of your older videos. We were going to film a music video there. They‘d closed it to the public and no notice on the website, how mean is that?!
I started following you just as Charlie had a seizure in Spain. So glad he‘s doing well. ❤❤❤❤
Love your own litlle SOLARsystem above the door ;-)🌍
Thank you for your inspiration. We are at a site in Wells next the Sea now, as I saw the vlog on Thursday and booked straight away. Love the drone photography, and of course the doggies.
Ahh, what a wonderful video, North Norfolk is beautiful. Thanks guys ❤️
I did say about the wind in Norfolk
You weren't joking. 😂
Glad you enjoyed my home town of sunny hunny
I visited the Norfolk area in june with a friend. Lovely to see the sites again. There is a lovely circular walk from wells next the sea and along Holkham beach such a shame you couldn’t park there. Enjoy your time in Norfolk.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching your blog. I never miss it. Frequently I’ll wait to watch it on a Saturday or Sunday where I can truly just unwind and watch the story unfold! 😊
Love Thursday to catch up with you guys, thank you
Our pleasure! 😁
@@theexPAWers mine too, thank you👍
Norfolk is lovely my Nan was born and bought up there with her 10 brothers and sisters and so we as a family spent a lot of time there when I was young however not sure I have every been to Holt so I just said to hubbie we should check it out sometime. Have a wonderful week and look forward to next weeks vlog ❤x
If you go to Cromer. Lifeboat end of pier free entry. Walk up hill Ligjthouse. Red Lion Hotel Bar. Real Ale. Coffee Latta Stout. And around 20 hand pumped beers. Walk to Overtrand from Lighthouse along Cliffs via golf course return via beach. Steam Trains Sheringham. Beeston Bump hill walk. Incleborough Hill to free Horse and Animmal Sanctuary. Really need a full week at Cromer. George and Jane plenty vids on our channel Cromer etc.
Great video. Lovely to see parts of the UK others don’t show.
Loving this back in the UK
I remember going to Holt about 45 years ago. Bit of a pilgrimage as our surname is Holt! Love the beach huts!
Lovely video too watch both.🥰🥰🐕🐕
Charlie looking like Basil brush 5.30 in .
So cute .
Watching you both on TV. But am typing on my phone. Love watching your adventures.
I hope you get to Gorleston on Sea.
Free park up along the harbour and beach is glorious!
If you make it to wroxham feel free to fill up water etc at ours if needed guys. You’re welcome on our drive if needed.
Hi Nick and Sarah just watched your latest vlog very nice the problem is the weather's never that great you can't rely on it😢 plus Britain's going downhill is far too many people on it now 🤔 and two bloody expensive 😢I'm currently over in Spain Andalucia loving the weather not too hot now put lovely blue skies everyday😎🇪🇸 and loving the Tapas 🌮🥪we had a crap summer in Wales🏴 I was really glad to be back in Spain for a couple of months. Love your vlogs guys, looking forward to next week episode take care maybe the weather will be better next week😊❤🤞🙏cheers 🍷 Steve.x
Great start on the vlog lol😂 The drone footage is so amazing. I am going to use the term “winter warms” Hopefully we will need them soon in Ohio.
What a beautiful video, it shows the stunning landscape of this country so well! I am, opposite to you guys, a Spaniard who moved to England and ended up spending a lifetime here. I love this country! I'm glad you are enjoying your stay and thanks for the inspiration!
❤❤.. Wow, I don’t think there’s that many Spanish folk who come to live in the UK?? Much more the other way around of course, glad you like living here 😊
Absolutely loved the photography/film in the first few minutes with the coffee .. Lmao
Another great video xx
Your not spoiling them you're treating them as they should👍❤️🐕i live in an RV with my 5 lb. Chihuahua and she eats well
Hi guys. If you get a chance the beach at Sea Palling is definitely worth a look. The best bit is heading north towards Eccles which means taking a short walk behind the dunes to access the beach beyond the dog restriction but it's worth it. The car park in Clink road is free overnight and although in small print it says no sleeping it seems that they are relaxed about it
Lovely part of the country but everywhere is better with the sun. Expert filming especially drone footage. I love those beach huts. Thank you for sharing.
Crazy! You were on the beach in my old village!! And you have bought land in Portugal not far from us here.... Small small world. X
Hi Guyz, great to see your enjoying Norfolk. If you are still in area and would like to spend some time in a chocolate box village, please drop me a pm. You are welcome to spend a night on our driveway. We live in Great Massingham. Take care.
We live in Norwich so go to these places a lot. Would have loved to say hello. We were actually on our maiden campervan holiday in Scotland and it was 20 degrees 😂xx
Km
As always a great vlog. I couldn’t agree more about car parking charges in this country, it has got utterly ridiculous and unwelcoming. I refuse to pay them so I park on the edge of towns and walk in. BTW I love the sound effects of you making your early morning coffee😊
Lovely vlog, thank you for CBD discount, just ordered some gummies for arthritic hands🤞🏼🫂🥰
Really enjoyed watching. Not only just beautiful outside shots but also inside your cosy and comfy van where the doggies 💕 feel completely at home.👍
That’s the conundrum isn’t it, you described it very well. We have the sunshine and a more relaxed lifestyle in many ways. Less people, cheap wine and tapas. I too miss the English supermarkets, the fab shops, the ease with which you can get anything. The people and especially the old pubs.
There is definitely a price to pay for living in the sunshine. I don’t think I’d survive the rain and the cold and the dark after so many years in Andalucia and now in Gib. But sometimes I’m really tempted to try it back in England.
After spending the last 6 weeks here I can confirm we will not be moving back to the UK, it’s good to visit but to live full time, no way! The weather is a huge thing, it’s just too cold and damp in the winter months which is basically half the year. And it’s expensive to eat and drink out.. Let’s see how we feel in another 6 weeks here! X
Nice to have you back in west Norfolk my home is about 15 min away
Lovely part of the UK with some beautiful beaches if a little windy from our experience so far. 😉
Loving your vlogs in the UK your just a lovely couple and give plenty of history of the area but you are right how hard it is to over night park for free ❤.
Thanks so much 😁
Ohh Lord! The pups @ 5:28. 😊 priceless. 😍
Hi guys, great video. I love the way you describe the things you see, like the reflection of the clouds in the water and how green and how many different trees there are. A lot of van lifer UA-camrs miss these important things. Enjoy the rest of your trip 🐕🦺🐕🧡
Never been to that part of England how nice! I have to desagree with Sarah on supermarkets. French have to be the best ones. So much more choices of food than the British ones. I don't know the Spanish ones so can't compare.
I am always surprised at the parking in other countries. In the USA if you found a field or green area you would get into trouble as someone owns it and neighbors would be watching. I wish we were more accommodating
If you want to see seals go to Horsey Beach xx
I think you’ll love Scotland. (Apart from the weather). There a so many epic par ups in remote places. Having been travelling Britain full time for over 2 years Scotland is best. Some good campsites too at reasonable prices. Mellon Udrigle is a great one right on a stunning beach with Mountain View’s. 🤗🚌
I watch your Chanel too - sorry to hear your sad news. We are on route up to Scotland now . We are having to get some warmer clothing ( we live in France - I miss judged the temperature here 😮)
All the best ladies.
@@Livingmybestlife01 thank you. Enjoy Scotland. An excuse to buy more jumpers. 😂
Seals at Horsey Gap, keep em coming 👍
That's the plan! Looking forward to seeing them there🤞
Very interesting video. You are right about the supermarkets Sarah, but you can't always get what you want, especially, when you are doing D.I.Y. everything is so expensive, tripled in price. We find it cheaper to go abroad on holiday in our camper van, how bizarre is that? Still loving your Adventures. 😊
Hello guys. Next stop Walton on the Naze or Brithlingsea ? So absolutely nice over there. If you come over to the Netherlands we will suply charly with CBD and you guys with THC. Enjoy!!
Sounds good. 😉
@@theexPAWers and there is a place to stay in the forest near the German border for free... My wife and I are leasing for spain and portugal starting November 1st and we are going to look at some land to buy in the algarve to make our paradise. Would be nice te meet and talk about portugal and the way you did it. Take are over there!
I think it's either a sin or a crime to not eat fish & chips, when you're in a British seaside town. Wish I was there ❤
Never a truer word spoken. 😁
You're food is very inspiring. I've started a diet regime and lost 9lbs in last couple of weeks. Thankyou again for your videos I always enjoy Thursday evening and it miles better than a soap!
The stripes look good, two down the bonnet? 🤔
Enjoy 👍 🐸
my daughter and family down in sunny north wales this week and having pretty much the same weather! but TODAY - sunshine! anyway - thank you for the cbdoil plug - I stopped watching to order. as soon as I'd clicked the button I realised I'd made a mistake and sent an email. by the time I woke up there was a reply saying they would correct for me. lovely company!
Another great video! Originally from the UK. It’s beautiful, but so grateful I had the opportunity to leave many years ago. Just couldn’t afford to live there, and UK friends tell me it’s even more expensive now. Safe travels.
Love all the places you go makes us relaxed just watching you and the doggies.🐕🐕🚍
awwwww, Thankyou☺️☺️xx
Weather not been great in the UK this week, but expected to get warmer next week. Go to Blakeney to see seals. Also my friend saw seals at Hemsby beach in July. Can recommend Filby Bridge restaurant for amazing seafood. A beautiful village not far from the coast. We also went to Gorleston beach which was very peaceful. Hope you enjoy the rest of your UK trip!
Thank you for sharing the adventures.
Childhood memories all coming back.
Everywhere you stop always look so pretty even on rainy days. Hope your tummies are feeling better xx
They are! Thanks so much for watching..😁
Makes a change to be watching you go somewhere I've actually been myself! Travelling the UK I always check car parks before going to see if they have height restrictions and big enough to park a large van. Glad you found places near by to park to enjoy the areas you wanted to explore.
Noce to see you found the beach stop if you had been 10 day ago the weather was perfect, there are lots more of fantastic norfolk to explore and hopefully see your travels stay safe and enjoy 😀
Wow Guys your food looks delicious 😊 great Vlog tonight... beautiful scenery brilliant ❤
Aww these places brought back so many memories. We holidayed in Hunstanton many times with the kids in our tent. Wells next the sea (not next TO the sea!) with the in laws (all 27 of them) in a house on the beach and snettisham (Nick it’s pronounced with a “sh” lol). However Norfolk was always difficult when I holidayed with my family when we were children as my brother was always ill with tonsillitis. Every blooming time! Doctor said it was something in the air. Norfolk was a decent easy journey from Essex where we lived until three years ago when hubby and I relocated to the Highlands. This vid reminded me of the amazing beaches and how far the blooming sea would go out!!
Suggest a visit to Gorleston-on-Sea, recently voted one of the best beaches in the UK with free parking and no height restrictions
Stunning footage and the quality is superb 👌🏻
Glad your enjoying Norfolk, hope you get time to visit inland too.
Vegetarian blows away opening his back door. The carnivores are going to love this 🤣
😂
He eats fish so not vegetarian.
Hmm pretty sure French’s cook their fish n Chips in beef dripping hence why they taste so good.
Tou should have gone round a little further to Brancaster ... 11 kilometers of sandy beach. Much nicer than Hunstanton
Brilliant vid guys. Safe travels ❤ xx
Hope you make it to Norwich, it’s such a beautiful city. Loads of historic buildings, the Cathedral, lovely shops down cobbled streets. I am just living vicariously through you. Ex pat in the USA. Went to school in Norwich lots of family ancestry there. 🇬🇧💗
To see seals book a boat with Bishops boats. They normally sail from Morston quay or sometimes Blakeney depending on the tide
Loving the asmr style clips! Taken a class? I’ve lived in England for 60 years and never been to the right hand side!! Must visit. Doggies are looking content and chilled. 🥰 🥰
Please get out and go exploring. Travel is life changing
charlies homeland. It must have been emotional for him.
Y’all made me laugh. “Little things for little minds”😉. Great parkup at the end a lovely little village. Looking forward to next week
😂😂.. It’s the little things in life right!? .. 😊Thankyou so much ❤️ x
I loved dancing a bit on the beach
You both look frozen. Not very warm here in East Yorkshire, ten degrees tonight. Thank you for a brilliant tour. I never knew Norfolk was so quaint.
Hey guys great vid - we’re currently in southern France. We were going to the Black Forest etc in Germany but the weather was terrible. Heading into northern Italy next. Happy travels 😊
Happy Travels to you too, enjoy. 😁
