Hi both, new subscribers here, welcome to wales, we're nearer swansea but love north, winter is stunning there too.
We also have a tag (kontiki) and tow a vw up! so love watching were you end up and what roads you take. Safe travels both xx
Hi Chrissie, thank you for finding us, we are very excited to be back in Wales, have so many camping memories from north wales, it will be nice to make some new ones in the van, towing the car is great isn’t it, hope you are ok in this wind, it’s picking up here now.

Hi Steve👊 Lorna😘 Being obvious life long soul mates your interaction and living in a tin box on wheels rolls seamlessly Its grand to see 🥰 Congrates on your first year Lots of luck wishes and hugz #teambrummies united Travel safe great show ATB 👊🦋🦋🐾🐶👍🚐🦋🦋🥰
Thanks buddy, really appreciate that, this life of ours is pure joy made better by knowing good people like you, take care my friend and keep rolling, #teambrummies Steve lorna and chancer 🥰🙏👊👍🚌🏴
Thoroughly enjoyed this little chit chat with you two. I had a cuppa and it was like having time with friends. What I like about you is what you see is what you get and I love that. You're not always going on about all the upgrades you've had/going to have on the van or about expensive things you've bought for it like some UA-camrs. You're honest and down to earth and that's the appeal. Keep doing what you're doing. You're both awesome (and Chancer 🐾)
Thank you Linda, that’s very kind of you to say, we only know how to be us, I know what you mean about the upgrades, unless they are free we won’t be having any other than a bigger used solar panel, I’m very proud of the way we have stayed just under budget all year, which is all thanks to Lorna as she manages all the money side as she always has, with careful planning we should be able to do the same in this 2nd year, glad you enjoyed it, take care and safe travels 🙏🙏👍👊🚌🏴🐕
Just brilliant.
Love you guys - we’ve so enjoyed your journey. We’ve finally got our Motorhome - been out a couple of times now and we’re just totally hooked. What a life it is!
We did prepare and plan a lot so it’s been fairly easy but we’ve learned so much already and really still have a lot to learn.
One question we should have asked and has come as a surprise- how much do you pay monthly for a data only sim - we’re surprised how much data we use when we’re out.
Keep smiling Steve and Lorna. And safe travels always guys.
Hi Guys that’s great news, we use an unlimited ee data sim which is £41 pm, but you can get cheaper like smarty etc, thank you for your support and kindness over the past year and hope one day we can meet up somewhere, enjoy your travels and here if you need any advice or help, take care and safe travels 🙏👊👍🏴🚌🐕
@@wanderingbychoice thanks Steve. You’re very kind 🙏🙏🙏
@@NBNatureTrailvan no problems 👊👊👊
Great video
Thank you Graham much appreciated, had fun making this video 🙏👍👊🚌🏴
Just found your channel, look forward to going back on your vids. I've got a Burstner travel van, but would want something bigger if I go fultime.
I was in St David's - August, beautiful there but quite a distance from Poole Dorset.
Hi Andrew, thank you for finding us, it’s a case of priority for us, living normally or moving on all the time from beautiful locations where we could park if we were smaller, I’m sure you know what will suit you best, look forward to maybe seeing you on the road, I’ve spent many nights in swanage water skiing when I was younger, take care and safe travels 🙏👊🐕🏴🚌
I'm just wondering if there's anything you could be doing differently, as you should have way more subscribers (in my opinion). I don't mean in terms of content as that's great.
This has been a great video and I've loved hearing your honest opinions. Love Chancer too ❤️
Hi Lisa it is all in the hands of the UA-cam gods lol, we just keep plodding along enjoying making videos, but thank you for your kindness, that’s worth a million subscribers any day. Take care and safe travels 🙏🏴👍👊🚌
@@wanderingbychoice I just think you deserve more; subscribers and money. You're both doing a great job 👏
@@lisamclellan8140 thank you Lisa, 🥰
❤❤❤❤
Thanks Albert very kind..🙏🚌👍👊🏴🐕🥰
You are both a really down to earth couple, loved the one year talk
No hairs and graces just honesty
Well done keep the videos coming
Thanks Deano means a lot, hope things are going well for you, take care and safe travels 🙏👍👊🏴🚌
Happy anniversary🎉🎉
Thanks Buddy much appreciated 🙏👊👍🚌🐕🏴
Well we’ll we’ll , what a fantastic video Steve and Lorna. You two are so much better than you think. The time we spent with you was fantastic. You treated us like royalty and it was one big laugh. You have helped us with our channel in so many ways and still do. One day we might do something for you 😂😂😂. We think you have the right attitude to your life in the van and we look forward to a cup of tea and a laugh with you both whenever we can. Keep in touch and keep making videos for us poor soles stuck in a house all winter. ❤👍👌
Hi guys, your friendship is plenty enough for us, you both keep us laughing and we can’t wait to meet up again, just wanted to answer those questions we have been sitting on for many months, in the hope of a live stream, but this seemed the right time, glad you liked it. Take care and have a great weekend 🥰🙏👊👍🏴🚌
On my phone today but really enjoyed this. Your van is a similar layout to ours but we don't live it. We have a bullmastiff dog so need the room! I love going away in ours. Great video guys! Mary F
Hi Mary hope you get your UA-cam issues fixed, beautiful dogs bullmastiff, I bet he or she loves going away in the van, Thank you for your kind words and support, take care and safe travels 🙏👊👍🚌🏴🐕🐕🐕

@@user-ge6yi7oc2p oh I see, thanks Denise, it looks like a link in blue 🙏
Best video ever , you 2 are an inspiration, we love you guys we've been with you since day 1, all the best and take care ❤
Hi guys thank you for your kindness and for your support, doesn’t seem long ago day 1 definitely not a year, take care and safe travels guys 🙏👍👊🏴🚌
I just subscribed to motorhome mums. I have subscribed the ones you mentioned. Chance looks fab just sitting there. Congratulations to your one anniversary!!! Chance is gorgeous great video. Site sitting sounds like a great temp job. 🐕🦺🐕🦺🦮🦮🦮🐕🐶🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸😊
Hi Kimberly, that’s great, we hope to meet up next year with Kath and Sue, very genuine people, with lovely hearts, Camper Vibe make incredible videos as well, site sitting would be so handy for us, some vanlifers do dog sitting, which is ok if you have a small van to park on people drive. Lots of things to consider in the future I’m sure, Chancer was very good during filming as he hates having the camera on him until he has his makeup on lol, Take care and have a great weekend, safe travels 🥰🙏👍👊🏴🐕🐕🐕🇬🇧🇺🇸🚌
@@wanderingbychoice I subscribed to camper vibes too. They are in Ireland now. Cool ladies.
Nice video guys, love the humour and candour. Looking forward to meeting up next week - despite the 5am start!! Congrats on your first year.
Thanks tony , we too are looking forward to seeing you three soon, glad you enjoyed the video, and see you very soon, hi to Mel and Reggie.🥰🎸👊👍🚌🏴
Great, as good as a live.
Thanks Trevor means a lot, really wanted to do it live, but no chance, believe it or not that took nearly 18 hours to upload, glad you liked it , 🙏👍👊🚌🏴
@@wanderingbychoice felt like I was in the van with you both.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun that’s so nice, thank you mate.🙏🙏🙏
Love watching you guys. Look forward to your videos every week. Keep up your good work brilliant content ❤
Thanks Richard, such a nice comment, we will for sure, hope you have a great weekend and safe travels 🙏👍👊🚌🏴
Happy one year in the van day,guys. Its been quite a journey filled with lots of wonderful places,beautiful scenery and lots of laughs. I am just glad that you did this change of life, and even happier that you put your adventures on the chube cos if you hadn't I'd never have made three wonderful and valued friends as I have now. Here's to many more happy vanlife years. I'll see you all soon in North Wales. Much love-Kenny
You Bet mate, thanks Kenny, we made the best choice ever and couldn’t be happier, we too made a lifelong friend and can’t wait to see you, bring your wellies though lol, enjoy your bimble and take care and safe travels 🥰🙏👍👊🏴🚌🐕

Thank you for this video I’m thinking and preparing to live full time and just had an offer one my property and I’m currently 62 and taking early retirement and was having second thoughts if I’m doing the right thing and this has helped 😊many thanks
