- Ignore the weather warnings at your peril!
Week 2 of owning our NEW motorhome "Lady B", we wanted to try and get away for perhaps one last time before Christmas (another option is to ignore Christmas) so feeling brave we said "it wont be that bad".
We are still getting used to MOHO life after owning a VW campervan and still have a lot to learn, but we love it!
Love Andy, Jo, Teddy and Digby xx
One of the best sites we have visited, first stayed about 8 years ago before the new bit was built. Always busy in the summer but book early for good pitch. Wonderful places locally to visit and good cycling around the small nearby villages.
We love it there too 🚍
Based upon your review we made our way to Eye Kettleby Lakes this week, thanks Lady B 👍
Oh amazing! I hope you enjoyed it and managed some cake too 🚐
That a lovely site, Might have to give that a look next year in the summer.
💯 but book early we have just done ours
You’ve got fantastic van and enjoying your channel, pleased you weathered the storm ok - thank you - David 👍
Thank you! We love her too 🚐

It was a lovely campsite and would recommend. You too, have a good one x
What a memorable stay! If only we’d known, you were only about 6 miles away from us there. It’s a lovely site 😀
We have booked again a couple of times next year.
Thanks for the look around Eye Kettleby, we're booked there for the end of January. Probably be even worse weather!
Fingers crossed you get some good weather, it's a great site
Lovely video
Thank you for sharing
Nice campground that you stayed at. Looks well kept.
Really lovely! Would recommend
I have just subscribed to your channel! I survived the storm too and then got up in the morning to snow! I live in Yorkshire and we got loads of snow!
I was really disappointed we did not get snow! Thank you 🙏🏻
Great vlog guys. Thanks for subscribing to our channel as it gave us the opportunity to see your fantastic channel!
Thanks guys and you too 🚐
We were there a few months ago, what a lovely site it is. Enjoy your new motorhome.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Very nice place. We did actually book in there a year or two back to meet up with one of Jan's sisters, but it never happened. The facilities look fantastic. THAT BAR! 😎👍 Love the doggos.
In know… the bar is great! We have booked another 2 times in the summer for a long weekend. Be quick as there was not that much available 🚐
Also a great spot of you want to meet up with friends and family that don’t have a motorhome/van/caravan as they have some great lodges and pods too and for those that are not Leicestershire folk you can pop into Melton and load up on Pork pies and the famous Melton red ale. I fear I also need to get my garage in the van sorted too Andy! IKEA ans storage boxes and those delights await! Happy wintering
It was a shame the Saturday was such rubbish weather as we wanted to explore more. He says this weekend 😉
'Barry White whilst you're having a wee' 🥴🤣😂
Very nice, looking forward to seeing your adventures 🤘
Thank you 🙏🏻
We've just downsized from a caravan to a T5. Just started watching you a few weeks ago, then you went to a motorhome haha. Your van and the site look amazing. Enjoy your travels guys.
We did love the T5 but just wanted something bigger for more long distance travels. Enjoy!
Been there lots of times, a great site to visit, nice video 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏻
Site looks great - so many places to walk the dogs too.
We have booked again in the summer. It will be amazing

@@Jorobertson1972 great get the fire on wine out and feet up
storm arwen was fun in my van 😂
I bet! We said it would have been a night to remember in a VW for all the wrong reasons. Glad you made it through 🙏🏻
@@Jorobertson1972 it was like being on a boat but i like being on boats so was brilliant .TY
Absolutely beautiful and what breed is Digby
Thanks you, He is a Cockapoo. He is a rescue but believe both his mum and dad were cockapoo’s which is probably why he is quite big. Such a loving dog though
I am sure that middle bit of the bed pulls out further and another infill cushion goes in
Yes it does and we have that bit in. If it’s out you have a little step up. We may need that when we get really old 😆
Love your videos but what is the background music? I can't get it out of my head
Oh no! It’s called time to spare by An Jone. It’s from the UA-cam audio library
If you could just look down the lens and not the screen you’d have a great channel.
Thanks for your feedback, as you can see we are really new and trying to work things out. I'm striving for perfection but obviously not there yet 😉
Course u did ur in a motor home
And we made a vlog about it afterwards 😉
Damn you're pretty.
Thanks Jim. All the best, Andy

@graham cook ,tosser
Wow second time today! Anything in particular we have upset you with?
Not you at all.
Oh ok 👍🏻
Good quality productions for this genre segment on UA-cam, a big 'well-done'.
My Wife and I, as seasoned motorhome enthusiast love nothing more than being off-grid at times (Not at a Camp Site), parked-up by the Coast or in the Mountains, while inclement weather buffers the motorhome. Memories of younger years (Still young late 40's!) in small tents, at festivals or with young family by the Coast/Mountains, in atrocious weather; now enjoying the same sounds, smells and movements, in dry, warm luxury, plus no kids!
Highly recommend the Highlands of Scotland, Fort William area during the winter period if happy to motorhome 12 months a year (If motorhome is winter-proofed and fitted with all-season/winter tyres!). Best scenic views in UK, though what ever the season, it is always breath-taking.
Nothing wrong with detail, in defence of the Husband. A Husband/Wife thing I'm sure, as its an accusation often directed at myself! Though, the 6x P's are important with Motorhomes - 'Prior Planning Preparation Prevents Poor Performance' = Spanner or a 'Leatherman's Tool' is the best emergency equipment multifunction tool to carry - Great Xmas pressie for the Hubby!
Good luck with the Channel, you have a new subscriber!
Haha I like to tease him! Thank you 🙏🏻
