Those jack-o-lanterns were a definite tie! They totally exceeded my expectations. You were like, I’m just not feeling up to it, and then produced those little masterpieces. Great cozy vibes, guys!
Yeahh, you are back with all the good vibes, fun and unique personalities. Thumps up. Love that you are finding your way back to your everyday after the broken ankle.
@phillyandkeely actually thought it was funny that you went gangsta on the pumpkins.. carving them up with a Stanley knife like in a proper Halloween movie scene 🤣🤣
Y’all did it again. What a happy video! 😺Your joy in life shows and as always you make me smile! Thanks for living your authentic selves and bringing us along for the ride!
I simply love the two of you. I am so glad I came across your page. You are so down to earth and enjoyable. I look forward to seeing you each week. Hope your foot is on the mend. ❤
Never doubted you for a second Philly! You remind me so much of Sebastian as he's always pulling things apart and putting them back together too 😂 You're on a roll you two, when you're on the right path, the universe lights it up for you...by the dawns early light! 10 years multiple entry! Happy happy joy joy! 🎉 It is indeed all happening. Love you both! ❤
The sea is so good for your ankle! Cold therapy! The salt therapy! It’s alllll good 😆 Great evening guys! Loved the pumpkins and always enjoy the Baking with Philly segments lol. My vote for pumpkins is. Sorry Philly! Keely’s!
Congratulations on getting your US visas. It was hilarious to watch Keely on her excitement. Her gorgeous Northern accent will never disappear. I was imitating her just watching her. It's so exciting for both of you and we're so excited for all that's planned in 2025 and just spontaneity that you both bring to this channel. Hugs
What a wonderful day you both had. I love my induction plate and love my Omnia sweden , both have a place in my campervan. Your pumpkins art looked really good, both of them. Cheers Judy
I love your can do attitude, you inspire me to do more with my life and laugh as much as you do. Philly worked a miracle with the heater and as a cat lover I should love that pumpkin better but both were great. Keely you are great with the crafting ideas. Feeling cosy❤❤
Woop woop guys , Super special ( screw driver holder 👀 lol ) I'm really chuffed for you😍 also because we the subscribers will part of this journey with you . Thank you for sharing these very special moments with us 🥰🤟 Both pumpkins were awesome 👏
The boss keely is back philly . I hope that you get the heating to work again ❤ your face there, philly when keely asked if you had taken photos first . 😀❤
Ford Transits are a great van to choose for the US - there are mechanics in every small town who can fix them, unlike Mercedes that can only be fixed in big cities (and they are more expensive too, of course). Dodge Rams are probably secondly common. But Transits are for taller people! ❤. Love your videos and enthusiasm. Welcome to my home country soon! If you come near Austin, Texas you have a driveway to crash...
Thanks so much angela, sounds like ford might be the way to go, also been looking at some dodge and Chevy too, so will lean towards ford if the right one comes along
Hey my two wee pumpkins 🎃🎃 firstly great to see you both doing what you do best, making us all smile with your adventures and antics, love you so much 🥰 pleased your ankle is getting better but do take care, don’t overdo it. As for your pumpkins I was ready to say Keely was the best, it is really great but then Philly turned his around and wow , that cats just amazing 👍👍👍 well done Philly you are the winner 🎉🥳🏆 Looking forward to seeing you guys very soon, take care, love Shirley xx🎃
Maybe us Scottish Celts are just built differently, but pumpkins??? Really??? We had to carve out TURNIPS! With a f*****g teaspoon!!! 💪🤘 Builds character, I tell you! Although the smell of rotten, singed turnip never leaves you! 🤢🤣 Also, thinking about it, I'm sure it was just a way of keeping us occupied and out of trouble for the second half of October! 🤔😂
You are the second person to tell us about turnips, so that's not a joke then 😂😂 you Scots are crazy, now I want to carve a turnip, they are soooo hard though!!
Hahaha my fixing things and baking things go just the same as Philly. But you DID IT yeahhhh. Love to hear your ancle is healing Keely. So you'll both be ready for your BIG trip. Love to watch that video's. Have a cosy week with your nice decorated pumpkins, love them. Bay Ingrid, dogs Joey and Ben.❤❤
Hiya kiddos!!! What a full, fun-packed video!! Philly and the heater… I was a little concerned there would be leftover parts but YAY you did it! That swim looked soooo cold 🥶!! 💪🏼 but you did it! The muffins sounded great until you just willy nilly added all that flour 🤓. Too funny watching you guys! Ok… the pumpkins… Philly might have the edge because of the cat ears but Keely wins for difficulty. Both are so cute! I would have butchered both of those!! I love hot mulled wine!! I hadn’t thought of making it so thanks for the suggestion. Favorite thing to cook in the fall is stew in the slow cooker. I LOVE my slow cooker!! Keely so glad your ankle is mending!! Seems you’ve come so far so fast but video land can be deceiving. Ok you guys… take care of each other!! Thanks for taking us along! Great video! 🤗🤗🤗 from Southern California 🌴
Thanks so much ❤️❤️ yeah I have had huge improvements in the last week, like two weeks ago I was still limping! So I really feel it strengthening with my physio, but I know I have a long way to go for side ways motion, uneven terrain etc, but my up down motion and my walking is really good ATM, so hopefully soon I will be able to start working on the side to side and turning stuff this month
You only have really have 3 full size vans in Canada and the USA , Mercedes is to much to buy and repair , Ford is good but has some problems with the turbo engine , we chose Ram Promaster it is less complicated engine and far easier to convert into a camper
Thanks Bob ❤️ we are thinking about buying an older campervan and do a bit of a renovation rather than a full build. Been looking at the ford econline also seen some Chevys and dodge (are these brands?) like 80s/90s vintage campervan/RV truck type thing. Something that just keeps on running the way a Toyota hiace in Australia does known for running forever haha
What a beautiful place to celebrate Halloween. Both pumpkins were very cute, but I definitely like the cat pumpkin best. Congrats on your American visas. 🎉
As an alternative to an oven, you could get a Convection Microwave that way you have two appliances in one. So you get a microwave and conventional oven. Downside is the electrical requirements but never get rid of your gas burners as they are much better for cooking and heating (ventilation essential if used this way!)
Yeah I think a big issue for us even with our big batteries is power consumption because 99% of the time we are not at campsites and we are in UK/Ireland alot with alot of clouds we need to be careful about our power consumption as once we use it we might struggle getting more back haha
@phillyandkeely yes you'd need to consider a few solar panels on the roof of the van. In the 4x4 world there's been a wide adoption of flexible panels that can be fitted to the roof (or any surface) I've only seen these types of things but I don't have any hands on experience with camper van builds etc...
I can hardly wait to see you here in the US!!! I am so looking forward to watching you fall in love ❤️ with our beautiful backyard. (A+ on the pumpkins!)
So excited that my favorite vanlifers will be in the US! Yay! Auto advice: GM and Ford will be less expensive to buy and less expensive to fix than foreign makes like BMW and Mercedes but GM makes are not known for reliability. Repairs can be really expensive here, so try to find something reliable. Best of luck finding the right van, it can be tough but if anyone can, it's you two!
Thankyou so much, so far we've been looking at ford econline and dodge and Chevy style campervan from the 90s we want an older retro van, cheaper to buy and easier to get foxed an parts than newer vans. So good to hear you recommend ford as we had been thinking of one
Hi ya Philly and Keely, awesome video great pumkin carving it was a draw , we are in the beginning of a heatwave and it’s not even summer yet. The muffins had all good stuff in them 🤩. Take care and stay safe cheers from Australia . 🇦🇺🚐🦘🐫🫏❤️
“We need a coffee break”, your coffee pot in the background was literally nodding its head through part of the diesel heater fix 😂 Great video as always, thank you xxx
Woohoo! Congratulations on your 10-year B1/B2 multiple entry visa!!!!!! Keely, your ankle looks to be doing well😊😊 i'm very happy to see that. Philly...not to be left out, GREAT job on your heater. I wouldn't have even tried😅 Well, guys...it's the presidential election in the U.S. tonight. I'm pretty anxious, as I expect are many of my countrymen. I think we, and many other countries, have a lot riding on this one! Have a great week! Sending hugs! 😊Lauren😊
Ford transit would be my suggestion for a van in the US. Tallest inside and engines are bullet proof! I was a bus driver and we used ford vans for special needs and I never saw an engine failure. Plus repairs are way easier to come by than Mercedes. Second choice dodge. Good luck!
Thanks for the advice! We are hoping to buy a retro american RV/Camper, like not a big giant one more smaller, but already converted and do a renovation/upgrade instead of a full build like we did in australia. Was looking at ford econline and Dodge b350 style, what do you think of those? Really appreciate ALL ADVICE. We want a bit of an older van as we think they are easier to fix and think old vehicles last longer than new ones with electronics (plus they are cheaper haha) and we want a van that is easy to get parts in america, hence buying over there and not shipping. so our current thought is prob like a 90s classic campervan vibe.
Glad you two look so happy on this vlog , lovely cheeky laugh Keely when you got your visa . 😊 35:28 Beautiful beach ! Philly’s pumpkin edged it but seem to remember Keely made better looking muffins in the past 🤔 Well done Philly with the diesel heater , with my brain fog I would never have got it all back together it would have been sod this and in the bin 😆❤x
What a great video guys !! So for me it's gas all the way, my van has a gas hob and oven, my house has a bottled gas range cooker, My favourite autumn food, living in France it has to be Tartiflette ! Just so tasty and fun to cook, Lots of love from Mark and Mavis my Spaniel xx
Congratulation on your US Visa 35:24!!! Just a quick tip, chia seeds do expand so if you use chia seeds you will need more liquid. I would not recommend chia seeds as a substitute for poppy seeds.
Well done on fixing the heater Phily and for your fantastic pumpkin carving skills. 😁😁🤩 Keely, I really love yours too. ;) also just a tip for making muffins, just lightly fold the ingredients through, ( Not beat & over mix ) , sure a little flour is still visable. This will make them soft & fluffy. ;) Also, congrats on getting your USA passport. Can't wait to see you exploring the place. 😁😍🇦🇺🇳🇿
I have been watching your videos for a while now and have lived them. Just realised today that where you were parked was just. round the corner form my house. The van looks so festive I love it.
It’s a thumbs up 👍🏻 for both 🎃 :) - I simply love you guys , I’m 62 yr old mum & proud nanny and you two, well you also make me laugh and smile all the way through your vlogs x Thank You for being you 😍 xx
When I lived in the cold climate, tomatoe soup and a peanutbutter sandwiche was the key to getting warm. Here in America, we have gas and electric cook stoves! Depending on the location what you have!
Loved the intro!! I was laughing all the way through! Keely's little "Smooth Criminal" after one-handed-catching the keys gave me a good chuckle, too. 😁 Good job on the diesel heater, Philly!! Yep, that's a scary feeling when you're elbows deep in a repair, when bits that haven't seen daylight since the factory are strewn about your table. 😬😬 The next time will be tons easier. 😁 Congrats on the visas!! And multiple entries to boot! We can't wait to have youse here. Long story short, we might have a space available near Seattle's airport for vehicle storage. FR, FR. Not to put the cart before the horse! Van choices in North America seem to be RAM Promaster (very similar to Martha, same chassis as Boxer/Ducato), Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter. The latter are rather pricey here cuz they're imported. Just as an idea, Amazon is converting their fleets to electric and selling their fuel vans from these main three (~6 years old, around $15-19k at 100k miles). Any large city will have "fleet sales" vehicle lots where cargo vans can be found. There are also private sale vans to be had as well, of course. Dunno where you plan on starting, but some caveats: cars in the NE and upper Midwest can get very rusty as those areas salt the roads in winter. The South and East TX can get floods from hurricanes and such, and sometimes flood damaged vehicles get spruced up and sold undisclosed. 😡 Just had a quick Google, it looks like the Carolinas down into Georgia might be the cheapest part of the country as far as prices, and the SW corner the best for the conditions of the vehicles themselves due to climate. Check Google/Yelp reviews to help suss out really shifty sales lots, although any used car shop is gonna have disgruntled customers. Whew! Sorry for the reading assignment! The pumpkins turned out fab, btw!! ❤️❤️✌️😎 xx
Guys, I love yez... I've been binge watching for about 3 weeks now and I've everything except the Japan thingy down... or more or less. I envy yez... wish I had someone to go VanLife with me.. but also, I wouldn't be quite so vegan... I'd be thinking I need to eat, to burn calories and taking whatever's available... but then, I'm no rock climber.... much better at hewing wood and digging ditches and doing stuff that's heavey but not up high... What a world tour... thanks for Australia and the Scottish Islands... ett
This was so much fun! You guys are the best vibe! Glad to see Keely feeling better & you guys getting back out there again. The beach looked beautiful. So excited to see your American trip when you get there. I love that you brought baking with Philly back too, so entertaining and fun. I love both pumpkins, but I do think Philly’s was the cutest. Can’t wait to see what you guys do next! ❤️
Wow what an exciting event, visas in the bag 😎!!! I absolutely love your enthusiasm guys, it’s so infectious and I love love love hanging out with you both! Keely I’m so glad the ankle is on the mend, oh and the pumpkins? I love them both! 😁
You’re back and Keeley is walking so much better!! I got myself a tote bag…well technically I gifted it to my school friend who is a regular wild swimmer and she’s thrilled with it!! Can’t wait for you American adventures xx
WOW! So much great stuff in this one. Between Keely's veggie special, Philly's muffins, ice cold swim, awesome pumpkins and American Visas,,, I was hooked on them all. Start a Van Life Cooking Channel! But Philly's heater repair wins the day,,, I had a bit of PTSD as he had that thing torn apart... great job. But Keely, Philly's pumpkin wins,,, those ears were the best!
Yay! Money off WILD deodorant 🎉❤ Thank you guys! I have the same aqua case as you...I've been hooked on the Fresh Cotton and Seasalt scent but I want to try the Ocean Mist so now I can with moolar off! Yippee!
Hello Philly and Keely I'm glad to see you getting back in the groove of van life . Keely, I'm glad your foot is improving . Philly love your tshirt.. Love the cooking segment . keep laughing Good vibes ❤.
This was such a fun vlog for us, we had a really good time away in the van and hope you guys laugh along with us!! Remember you can find out about Wild Deodorant Here: bit.ly/WILDPK20 (and use our code PK20 for 20% bundle discount)
Unfortunately the 'Muffin Man' has lost to 'Keely,' the sweet little muffin. Great episode guys, your No. 1 fan in South Australia.
Love them both
Thanks Pauline
Those jack-o-lanterns were a definite tie! They totally exceeded my expectations. You were like, I’m just not feeling up to it, and then produced those little masterpieces.
Great cozy vibes, guys!

Thanks Dale 🥰🥰
Ain't no party like a pumpkin muffin party! ... And Philly pumpkin has to be the winner!

We need more Baking With Philly! 😂
🤣🤣 apparently I'm too much of a back seat baker, I can't help myself 🤣🤣🤣
Back Seat Baker would be a good t-shirt 😂
@Mand-Prie8416 🤣🤣
Never doubted you for a second Philly! You remind me so much of Sebastian as he's always pulling things apart and putting them back together too 😂
You're on a roll you two, when you're on the right path, the universe lights it up for you...by the dawns early light!
10 years multiple entry! Happy happy joy joy! 🎉
It is indeed all happening. Love you both! ❤
The sea is so good for your ankle! Cold therapy! The salt therapy! It’s alllll good 😆 Great evening guys! Loved the pumpkins and always enjoy the Baking with Philly segments lol. My vote for pumpkins is. Sorry Philly! Keely’s!

Congratulations on your visas. Enjoy America so much diversity.

You only have really have 3 full size vans in Canada and the USA , Mercedes is to much to buy and repair , Ford is good but has some problems with the turbo engine , we chose Ram Promaster it is less complicated engine and far easier to convert into a camper

What a beautiful place to celebrate Halloween. Both pumpkins were very cute, but I definitely like the cat pumpkin best. Congrats on your American visas. 🎉
💪 Never Regret A Swim 🤣
2 pumpkin votes for Phylly. 🎃 Cool looking cat 🐱. Pops & Nana 🥰 🇺🇸
Crumpet muffins should really be a thing! Well done on the pumpkins guys, you are both winners xx
I agree ,pumpkins were both great! Tie
Crumpet muffins were delicious haha

We are sooooo excited to come and fall in love with the US
Love both your pumpkins. Love the swirly eyes Keely.
Thanks Jo ❤️❤️
It’s never just a quick fix without at least one trip to the hardware store. 😊. You guys are so fun can’t wait for your US adventures.
Thanks Cindi, we are so excited too 🥰🎉
Great to see you back and so happy

@@phillyandkeely Get a Ford. Always a Ford. You'll feel the soul of America.
I agree plus they are squarer so easier to build out
Glad you two look so happy on this vlog , lovely cheeky laugh Keely when you got your visa . 😊 35:28 Beautiful beach ! Philly’s pumpkin edged it but seem to remember Keely made better looking muffins in the past 🤔 Well done Philly with the diesel heater , with my brain fog I would never have got it all back together it would have been sod this and in the bin 😆❤x
Don’t know where 35:28 came from? Must have pressed something I shouldn’t again 🤣
I was very impressed with his diesel heater fix! We were very happy 🥰🥰 and we had a real laugh editting the vlog too 🤣🇺🇸🏊
What a fun vlog! Wonderful pumpkin art from both of you. Great to see you enjoying the changing season!
Thanks Deborah ❤️❤️
What a great video guys !!
So for me it's gas all the way, my van has a gas hob and oven, my house has a bottled gas range cooker,
My favourite autumn food, living in France it has to be Tartiflette ! Just so tasty and fun to cook,
Lots of love from Mark and Mavis my Spaniel xx
Ok now I need to look up what tartiflette is haha
Congratulation on your US Visa 35:24!!! Just a quick tip, chia seeds do expand so if you use chia seeds you will need more liquid. I would not recommend chia seeds as a substitute for poppy seeds.
Yeah I did try to tell him that haha, but they tasted good anyway 🤣 I will be buying some poppy seeds this week and restocking the baking cupboard 💪
You guys crack me up. Love your channel ❤
Thankyou 🥰🥰 we do have a good laugh 🤣
You guys are always so uplifting!!!! Love ya!
Aww thankyou 🥰🥰🥰
Well done on fixing the heater Phily and for your fantastic pumpkin carving skills. 😁😁🤩 Keely, I really love yours too. ;) also just a tip for making muffins, just lightly fold the ingredients through, ( Not beat & over mix ) , sure a little flour is still visable. This will make them soft & fluffy. ;) Also, congrats on getting your USA passport. Can't wait to see you exploring the place. 😁😍🇦🇺🇳🇿
Thanks so much Carol 🥰 so excited for our next big adventure
I have been watching your videos for a while now and have lived them. Just realised today that where you were parked was just. round the corner form my house. The van looks so festive I love it.
Thankyou! That's so cool that you live near there, beautiful spot!
Ye are some craic look forward to your adventures constantly
The last time I was in the sea there was 3 years ago it was warm for a change
Maybe we can inspire you to get in again soon!! It's good for the soul I promise haha
It’s a thumbs up 👍🏻 for both 🎃 :) - I simply love you guys , I’m 62 yr old mum & proud nanny and you two, well you also make me laugh and smile all the way through your vlogs x Thank You for being you 😍 xx
Aww thanks so much Katie, glad we can bring a little laughter into your day 🥰🥰
When I lived in the cold climate, tomatoe soup and a peanutbutter sandwiche was the key to getting warm. Here in America, we have gas and electric cook stoves! Depending on the location what you have!
Loved the intro!! I was laughing all the way through! Keely's little "Smooth Criminal" after one-handed-catching the keys gave me a good chuckle, too. 😁
Good job on the diesel heater, Philly!! Yep, that's a scary feeling when you're elbows deep in a repair, when bits that haven't seen daylight since the factory are strewn about your table. 😬😬 The next time will be tons easier. 😁
Congrats on the visas!! And multiple entries to boot! We can't wait to have youse here. Long story short, we might have a space available near Seattle's airport for vehicle storage. FR, FR. Not to put the cart before the horse!
Van choices in North America seem to be RAM Promaster (very similar to Martha, same chassis as Boxer/Ducato), Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter. The latter are rather pricey here cuz they're imported. Just as an idea, Amazon is converting their fleets to electric and selling their fuel vans from these main three (~6 years old, around $15-19k at 100k miles). Any large city will have "fleet sales" vehicle lots where cargo vans can be found. There are also private sale vans to be had as well, of course. Dunno where you plan on starting, but some caveats: cars in the NE and upper Midwest can get very rusty as those areas salt the roads in winter. The South and East TX can get floods from hurricanes and such, and sometimes flood damaged vehicles get spruced up and sold undisclosed. 😡 Just had a quick Google, it looks like the Carolinas down into Georgia might be the cheapest part of the country as far as prices, and the SW corner the best for the conditions of the vehicles themselves due to climate. Check Google/Yelp reviews to help suss out really shifty sales lots, although any used car shop is gonna have disgruntled customers.
Whew! Sorry for the reading assignment! The pumpkins turned out fab, btw!! ❤️❤️✌️😎 xx
You two are epic 🎉. Think Philly just about won the pumpkin carving though 🎃
I agree Denise the cat was defo the winner
Guys, I love yez... I've been binge watching for about 3 weeks now and I've everything except the Japan thingy down... or more or less. I envy yez... wish I had someone to go VanLife with me.. but also, I wouldn't be quite so vegan... I'd be thinking I need to eat, to burn calories and taking whatever's available... but then, I'm no rock climber.... much better at hewing wood and digging ditches and doing stuff that's heavey but not up high... What a world tour... thanks for Australia and the Scottish Islands...

This was so much fun! You guys are the best vibe! Glad to see Keely feeling better & you guys getting back out there again. The beach looked beautiful. So excited to see your American trip when you get there. I love that you brought baking with Philly back too, so entertaining and fun. I love both pumpkins, but I do think Philly’s was the cutest. Can’t wait to see what you guys do next! ❤️
Thanks Sally, I think his was the cutest too🥰🥰🎃🎃
Wow what an exciting event, visas in the bag 😎!!!
I absolutely love your enthusiasm guys, it’s so infectious and I love love love hanging out with you both! Keely I’m so glad the ankle is on the mend, oh and the pumpkins? I love them both! 😁
Thanks so much 🥰🥰 glad to have you hanging with us too ❤️
Philly absolutely won the pumpkin carving competition. PS: I have three cats 😻😻😻No not biased, no not at all - cough.
Definitely won the day with the cat, I am very biased cat lover myself haha
You’re back and Keeley is walking so much better!! I got myself a tote bag…well technically I gifted it to my school friend who is a regular wild swimmer and she’s thrilled with it!! Can’t wait for you American adventures xx
Awesome!! It's such a good quality bag isn't it!!
Whose pumpkin was the best?… I honestly couldn’t choose they are both masterpieces 🎃🎃🎃🎃just love the vibes you two soul mates give 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Aww thanks so much Mary ❤️
Hey guys xx that was a great vid…… your vibe/energy is so contagious. I love watching you two 😂 don’t ever stop 🎉

Love seeing you both again. Keeley I'm so glad your ankle is improving. Great pumpkins.
Thanks Mel, yeah so chuffed with my progress so far 💪
Wow! Busy episode. Glad your ankle/foot is healing nicely.
Yeah I'm so pleased with how much I've progressed in the last week!!
If you wet yourself off, then turn the water off, soap yourself up, then rinse yourself off. You will use a lot less water
WOW! So much great stuff in this one. Between Keely's veggie special, Philly's muffins, ice cold swim, awesome pumpkins and American Visas,,, I was hooked on them all. Start a Van Life Cooking Channel! But Philly's heater repair wins the day,,, I had a bit of PTSD as he had that thing torn apart... great job. But Keely, Philly's pumpkin wins,,, those ears were the best!
The ears were so cute weren't they!! Honestly it's a miracle that heater works hahaha
