    Hi everyone, we hope you enjoy this week's vlog, just a quick note to apologise for the sound in the King's Lynn part, the rain and traffic made it quite difficult. Hopefully you can just about hear OK, and if not, hopefully the subtitles picked it up alright. Oh and err, don't be alarmed by the daft thumbnail, we just thought we'd have a bit of fun 😉 Even if we now look like two psychopaths in a van 🤔🙃 Happy Sunday all and thank you for watching our adventures, we appreciate all your support and feedback ❤

    I don't know how you two hooked up, and became UA-camrs, but You are the best thing that happened to VanLife and internet recently. My wife still can't believe that you two are husbands. Truly lovely couple you two are, and Steve is simply adorable when he gets into an argument with you.
    Many blessings from Poland to You and Steve 🇵🇱🍻

      Oh wow that's quite the compliment, thank you so much, I don't know what to say but that made us smile 😍 We got together 15 years ago but this youtube thing is fairly recent of course. Never thought we'd be doing this but it's good fun to be recording this funny stage our lives are currently in! Hello to Poland, we are driving close to that very very soon in Germany! 😍

      Thank you guys (and rest assured your lovely hats are still keeping us snug! ❤️). King's Lynn is well worth a visit. The place we stayed made it really easy for exploring too, which we would've done more of if the weather held up!

    As always Dan and Steve thank you both for another great video, King's Lynn is a lovely town, I remember hearing of the terrible thing that happened to people accused of witchcraft but never done any research myself on the subject, so a huge thank you Dan

    • @comealongdear
      @comealongdear  5 місяців тому

      Thank you Michael, yes the witchcraft era sounds horrible (along with many other things), it's terrible to think what happened to people. King's Lynn was great but we'd like to go when it isn't chucking it down 😂

    Loving the thumbnail. 😍
    As a Norfolk girl ( Alison obvs 🤦🏼‍♀️) I adore Hunstanton. I used to go with my parents and then by myself. There is (I think it's still there) a massive carpark on the cliffs that makes for incredible walks. It's so much nicer there when the donut stalls are open though, I will agree.
    Been to King's Lynn many a time too, especially the Corn Exchange, great for theatre/concerts and some gorgeous buildings. Didn't have any clue about the lady and her heart.
    We almost fell off our chairs when you said about the price of the Fish and Chips 🫨 We really have been away far too long. They would have been half that price when we left.
    Glad storm Isha wasn't too unkind to you. It battered us (did you see what I did there..? 😉 fairly badly in France too, but we survived.
    We missed your video last week, but you can't pass up work. 🤷🏼‍♀️
    Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟

    • @comealongdear
      @comealongdear  10 місяців тому

      Ah I did think you'd be familiar with both! The buildings in King's Lynn and all the little alleyways were very beautiful and detailed and definitely like stepping back in time. Such a shame we couldn't capture it all properly in that weather - but the rain was weirdly what made us decide to do a quick ghostly tour, so we'd never have known some of those spooky facts otherwise 😱
      Hunstanton we know needs another chance - I really love how you can see a sunset there and the reddish cliffs looked stunning (oh no that word again 😂), but we just timed it wrong with weather and tide.
      Was Storm Isha the one we saw you in your video last week? Or possibly week before. Yes that was a bit hairy but luckily not too bad here. We escaped the worst, I think.
      Yeah we did need the work, we have much longer stints than that coming up and we're getting more prepared now in terms of stacking up videos ready, however it still catches us out sometimes and means we have to miss a week every so often.
      The less said about the price of fish and chips, or indeed any food here, the better 😂
      Cheers guys x ❤🤟

    They filled in the pool and put up a parking lot? I'm sure there's a song in there somewhere!
    Also, medicational is definitely a word, but probably only _after_ the rum! As I say to my wife - who's Mrs Malaprop reincarnated - if you want it to be a word, then it's a word.
    Oh, and you haven't seen depressing seaside resort until you've been to Mablethorpe. I think it's where dementors spend the winter!
    On a brighter note, if you want to see the sun rise _and_ set over the sea, then pop over to Cromer.

    • @comealongdear
      @comealongdear  10 місяців тому +1

      I think it's already half of a song, but I like these lyrics more 😁
      Haha a bit of Mrs Malaprop in one's wording is alright by me, maybe she'd been on the rum too though. Not only do made up words become real, but so do entire themes, concepts and life changing ideas...I mean, I think. Strange how we forget them the next day 🤔
      Mablethorpe is funnily enough on the list! As long as we can find a decent bag of chips, I'm sure it'll be alright there 🙃
      That does make sense with Cromer, we went once before and I remember the sunlight looking amazing over the pier and sea.
      Thanks Ewan 😊

    @chrissycanvasart 10 місяців тому +1

    It's a shame these days that sea-side resorts have gone down hill . I think it's generally ppl have changed about holidaying. Also the government aren't funding councils enough no surprise there. We don't like staying overnight overlooked by houses just doesn't feel comfortable somehow. Enjoyed watching you 2 😊xx

    • @comealongdear
      @comealongdear  10 місяців тому +1

      Hi Chrissy, it's very sad how so many have declined and the councils could definitely do more on that front. But yes trends have definitely changed, and you can understand people wanting a piece of the Mediterranean over say, Margate. It just must be a lot harder running businesses in our seaside towns now.
      Not sure where Hunstanton fits in, they all look kinda the same in winter, but I found that quite mesmerising in its own way, seeing all those colourful, fun things boarded up in the cold.
      Yeah not a fan of overnighting on residential streets! Our van isn't exactly stealth so there'd be no subtlety in us parking there 😂
      Thanks for watching as always appreciate it 🙏 ❤

    Crikey fish and chips has become expensive, if you have an air fryer buy some frozen chips? Morrissey sang about seaside towns where every day is like Sunday didn't he? You are a month behind so I hope the weather has improved over there. Happy travelling to you both and hoping to see more of your escapades soon.. 👍

    • @comealongdear
      @comealongdear  10 місяців тому

      Indeed, you're not kidding it's become expensive! 😬 That one was higher because we ate in, but still...
      Haha yeah I suppose we could just do our own, not sure we've got room for an air fryer though and would only be able to use it on electric hook up.
      Ah I believe Morrissey did sing that. It does sum it up, although I wouldn't go as far as some of those lyrics 😬
      We are behind a bit, weather has massively improved since then thankfully 😀 Thanks for watching and your feedback ❤

      😂 Who knows Robert. Perhaps it rained all day like in the video, depressing her enough to throw herself in the water. Perhaps the wedding buffet was substandard and she overreacted.
