Nooooo...! Even if you eventually give up full time van life PLEASE keep up showing us the further adventures of Come Along Dear as we just luv listening to you two. The great things about your channel is not just about the travels it's also about you both living life to the fullest whatever you get up to. You make our Sundays! Hugz.
Ahh thank you so much, that's really motivating for us to read this morning! 😍 We really appreciate that you'd want to keep watching. Of course, these are ideas that are potentially a long way off (if they even happen at all) and even if we did stop, we would intend to keep the van so we could still get out and about. It would be a shame not to make videos anymore, so hopefully whatever happens we'd still find a way 😁 However, for now, we are still in the van and may be for some time yet, so everything will continue as normal for the immediate future 😍 Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️
Thank you for taking us on your travels Enjoyed every minute, I love the every day van life you both share with us thank you Sunday mornings wouldn’t be the same without you xx
Many childhood memories of Bev, Burgesses ice cream, sledging at Beverley West Woods. My great grandfather William Filby met and married his wife Priscilla in Bev.
It's absolutely wonderful that you both have shared your van life with us and I do hope you guys will continue to share your future experiences, I love watching them and a huge thank you to both of you
Thank you Michael ❤️ We hope to continue sharing videos, and for now we are in the van still for a long while ahead we expect, any thoughts on settling down are all just random ideas at the moment. We may just stay put in Daisy, who knows! We appreciate you being along for the ride with us either way 😍
Just caught this vid of you guys touring York. We loved your vlog. Very relaxed, informative, and great commentary. Look forward to watching the rest. X
Ahh thank you ladies! ❤️ That was a bugger to get the music to fit the clips appropriately, I think some of it didn't quite land, but I tried and I'm glad you liked it 🙏 Hope you are both keeping well at the moment, and Fudge too of course ❤️
Really loved this one, brilliant filming & excellent choice of music plus both of you so happy. You reminded me using the disused railway of something we used to see on our ordnance survey maps years ago when looking for somewhere to go marked 'dismtld rlys' which tickled us pink at the time & the memory still does. The White Rabbit led Alice down the rabbit warren into some of her adventures, induced it's thought by Lewis Carroll's use of laudanum. Spent time in my garden this week observing some spectacular pigeon colours by the way to go back to a previous video. Iridescent pinks, purples, greens & more. Truly beautiful much maligned birds. Look forward to your next video, hope you find somewhere lovely to set up home one day.
Wow that's a bit of a mouthful for an ordnance survey map, couldn't they have simplified that 😂 Thank you for the lovely feedback and comment, so pleased you liked the music and editing on this one 😍 Haha well actually yes forget the rabbit carving, if Lewis Carrol was on that stuff, I think that explains much of Alice in Wonderland 😂 Ah the beautiful pigeons. Aren't they absolutely wonderful to watch, and those shimmering colours you mention 😍 Glorious birds and I would always welcome them if we ever had a garden again. Take care and see you next week ❤️
I've just watched your video on my TV but thought I'd jump onto my phone to comment 🙂 There are so many hidden locations in the UK and thank you for sharing one I'd hadn't seen. I can definitely understand why you would want to live there. As for lunch there's nothing wrong with a meal deal, but I prefer to have a Costa coffee latte as my drink. Making the most of the last few weeks of summer is always a great thing to do. Hope to see where your travels take you next 😊
Thank you Annie, yes Beverley feels like an under the radar gem and it's always lovely to visit the less obvious towns which aren't mostly for tourism, so you see a "truer" version if that makes sense. Meal deal type affairs are just necessary sometimes and we got a nice riverside seat in the process so we were happy 😁 See you next time! ❤️
My husband and I and our two little Yorkies moved to Driffield from Huddersfield 18 months ago and I can honestly say it’s the best decision we ever made, equal distance from hull, brid, York and Beverley is our next town and is fantastic for shopping ❤ good luck 😊
Hi Martin, that sounds like ideal positioning, very pleased it's worked out for you both moving there 😍 We'll have to check out Driffield too, I think we skirted around it a few times. One day, maybe it will happen living up there, we'll see. If we do stop all of this van stuff eventually, then that area is right at the top of our list! ❤️
Morning Lindsay, thank you, we're pleased you enjoyed it ❤️ Expensive in York for sure (although we kind of expected that) but definitely worth a visit and plenty to enjoy without spending a fortune 😍
Just come across your channel guys I live in Scarborough and Beverly is a lovely Place to visit also Malton on a smaller scale it’s quite a foodie place. Like your down to earth approach and your different personalities and team work
Hi Paul, welcome aboard, and thank you for the kind feedback 🙏 Malton also looks fab. There are so many idyllic little towns around here, I guess we'll have to try to visit them all 😁 Incidentally we love Scarborough as well and would happily live there we feel ❤️
Thank you for an interesting video and good filming. I love video from this part og England. Many name there are more or less like Old Norwegian and Norwegian. Greetings fram a Viking in Oslo, Norway.
Thank you Pauline 😊 I can't remember but I think we may have driven through it...if it's the area that looks like open parkland near a golf course, then yes we did, very briefly! It looked very scenic 😍
Beverley is a fabulous place a lovely walk down the river. Lots to explore too. Yorkshire is such a lovely place to live. York looks lovely need a few days there. If you go back to Beverley you can park on the Westwood also known as Beverley racecourse fantastic for walking and running. Great video guys glad you are enjoying sightseeing.
@@comealongdear most of Beverley is 2 hour parking but Flemingate car park is reasonable in prices to park. Great teepee they do hot drinks in winter at Flemingate near Beverley minster. Lots to discover there another time.
Wow, York looks fantastic! Countryside looks like the Skåne flats, and I felt there were many elements of Germanic aesthetic in the buildings as well, apart from looking very, VERY essentially picturesque British. It reminded me of Ystad and bits of other Swedish towns. Imagine living in the Shambles. Oof, too much no matter how pretty it is. Beverly looked so pretty, like a mini version of York. Love the gothic masonry in the British medieval churches. The minster was very imposing! Looked more French/German than British to me. Thank you for the explanation and all the other interesting tidbits. The prices have gone wild here as well. A Burger meal is sometimes more costly than getting a pizza. Crazy. I'll take the later, thank you very much, but prefer to cook at home. They have "about to go bad" bins in stores here. I love them because you can get great deals and don't have to plan ahead. 😅 The channel would still survive even if you pick a home base. It would just be a bit longer between your fun adventures. Until next Sunday, cheers from Skåne!
Good Morning 🌞 Ooh you know funnily enough we were reminded of Skåne driving between York and Beverley. It's a funny place because most parts of Yorkshire are known for its wild rolling hills, but there's a surprising amount of flat areas too. I think you're right about the buildings in York, it feels like there's lots of influences there and yes, that Minster seemed very French/continental in style! Beverley was pretty but it was more the feeling of pace and atmosphere it had, without sacrificing a thriving community, that kind of drew us in. The balance was just right 👌Definitely some Ystad vibes in both places. Interestingly, there is a big viking museum in York, and I think viking history is big in that part of the country. Whether that has any influence on how York and its surrounding areas look I don't know, but it seems interesting that Skåne/Ystad seem to share a lot of similarities with York/Yorkshire (I guess part of that is just pure Geography though). We love nothing more than a rummage through the reduced goods section in a supermarket 😁 You get used to certain times and days to go as well. Definitely with you on choosing pizza over a burger, and as you say, the latter is often pricier now 🤷♂️ Whatever we decide to do about our future I think we'd like to keep the videos going regardless, even if they became less frequent. But that's in the future for now 😁 Hope everything is well for you back in Skåne, have a great weekend, whatever is left of it 😍❤️
Yes! We did think that, although wetter than where we're from (the South east) it would probably be, on balance, a bit drier and less windy than the Western side...on average!
Beverly is an incredible gem that often goes unnoticed. It’s an amazing destination with such delightful people. It was adorable to see you lying on Stephen. Your editing abilities are truly top-notch; at one moment, I felt like I was watching a documentary. What camera do you use? Never lose sight of your dreams. One day, you'll achieve your goal of having your own place and running your channel. Just remember us when you do. You are simply the best!😊
Evening Paul, Beverley is indeed a hidden gem, just one of those towns that has that special something whilst quietly going about its business and not being on the tourist trail as such. We loved it and yes the people seemed great and very happy from what we saw 😍 Thank you so much for your kind words on the editing, that means a lot to me as it does take a while to put these together and can be hit and miss, so any feedback is a bonus. Even after all this time we still just use our trusty camera phone! Maybe one day we'll get a proper one, but they are so convenient to whip out and put away again! Haha not sure Stephen was so pleased with me leaning on him like that uninvited, but it was tough, I was tired 😂 Thank you as always Paul, have a good week ❤️ 🙏
There's a town called York here in Mendocino County, but it's nothing like that place! Another lovely video, guys. As for being thrifty, my gramma always said save your money when you can so you can spend it when you want. Words to live by.
Thank you! ❤️ It's amazing how many places in the US have British names, well maybe not that weird because America is huge with the same language, but nonetheless it's still bizarre to me to see places called "Birmingham" and "Manchester" etc! Ah your grandma has sage advice - simple and to the point, and undeniable! ❤️
Good start to my day watching you two lovely chaos, thank you. It takes us ages (well, one of us) to get the day started too - and we don’t live in a van. Thanks for sharing - Beverley looks a lovely place and the church and Minster look amazing. I am always left dumbfounded when I see the intricate and beautiful stone and wood carvings on these ancient places - what skill! I can’t cope very well with crowds so I feel I miss out on seeing a lot of things/places. We prefer to go around houses etc on our own too, although some guided tours give you snippets of information that we might not know. I hope you are having a good weekend - stay well and safe. ❤️❤️
Morning Irene 🌞 Crowds are definitely not our favourite which was why we found York a bit overwhelming, so you're not alone ❤️ I find filming is a good distraction however. Beverley though, that was just the right level for us - everything you need but still felt quaint and cosy. Definitely with you on the carvings and stonework etc in these buildings! It's truly unbelievable to think of the level of detail, and all created centuries ago without the tools or technology we have now (not to mention the safety aspect 😬🙈). The more time moves on, the more buildings feel like cardboard pop-ups in comparison. The tour was really informative I just wish we could have filmed in there, but we did learn quite a lot along the way (and it was nice to get out of the crowds for a bit). Thank you and hope you're having a good weekend too ❤️
@@comealongdear Thank you - we just got back from 2 weeks holiday in Scotland in the caravan - got stuck on the M6 in 27 degrees with 3 dogs for about 90 minutes - luckily our tow vehicle is a campervan so at least we had water and a “facility”. Always look forward to your videos whatever they are about. ❤️❤️
Oh no! That's the worst, and in such heat as well 😬 I hope you had a great time in Scotland (and do let us know of any places worth visiting!), hopefully the doggies were okay 🙏 The best thing about being stuck in a long traffic jam is when you have the campervan/caravan. A quick snack, some water, a sneaky wee...all possible! 😁 Hope you got back okay in the end
@@comealongdear we got back ok a lot later obvs and really tired today. We were on small CL just outside Stonehaven south of Aberdeen - our first time in that part of Scotland - and loved it - beaches and mountains close by. OH was desperate to see Dunnottar castle. Plenty of other castles/gardens to visit esp. if you are NT members who are accepted at NT Scotland. We saw loads of other campervans and motorhomes. Fairly lucky with the weather too - most of the rain was at night. We shall go back there sometime.
Listen guys you need to visit Knott End on Sea, right by the sea. Its beautiful, mostly undiscovered with cheap as chips flats but absolutely amazing community. The lakes are within striking distance, the Forest of Bowland and even Blackpool by Tram! (Get on right move)
Hi Denise, thank you for the tip! We'll have a look as we're always keen to see new places and we're especially interested if it's an affordable area 😍
So, getting up in the morning and finding out it's the afternoon by the time you get started is a van life thing! Or at least that's the excuse we use. I (Darren) have never been to York, but I suppose it's one of those places you have to see at least once.... Although! The crowds? Alison remembers driving through Beverley when she was in her 20s and was disappointed she didn't have time to stop. So if you do settled there one day I can think of a couple of visitors that could see themselves popping by to say hello. Much love Darren and Alison 🤟♥️
Ah Darren, I hope you're feeling so much better now! To go through all that must have been very scary, I'm so glad you're okay. Not sure if you filmed anything for it, but I must admit I was glad we weren't doing any videos when Steve was taken ill 😂🙈 The starting in the afternoon thing is definitely a vanlife trait! And of course, we are very grateful for it. However, it's a terrible terrible habit in the UK winter, when you wake up and only have a couple of hours of light to play with 🤦♂️ I think you would both enjoy a day trip to York regardless. One park and ride had a specific motorhome area, no overnight, but a safe place to leave the van, get a bus into the city, and leave at the end. Not too shabby. If we did ever settle in the delightful Beverley you would of course be welcome guests of honour...free park up, too 😉 Actually probably not, as if we could afford somewhere with a drive 😂 Safe travels both and hope you're able to get out exploring again Darren after the recent trauma 😊 🙏 Much love ❤️ 🤟
@@comealongdear I'm fine now, back in the van and ready to start our next adventure. As for filming, we're not going to make a big thing of it in the videos. However thanks for asking. I must admit, I did forget to ask how Steve is doing now. Being good? Ish! 😉
Good to hear, glad you're ok and yes Stephen is well thank you. We've been at work for 6 weeks (!!) so these recent videos (and next week's) were filmed to tide us over while we couldn't film. So we've been angels, not a drop of alcohol or many bad food habits in that whole time, but I'm sure we'll have a few treats when we leave, which is today funnily enough. Off to see family for a bit before heading out again so we might have to miss a video one week but hey ho. Safe travels to you all ❤️
Beverley is nice. You’ll have to try Howden down the road which also has a minster. Much more of a village feel even though it’s a town. We love it here.
Hey, thanks for the tip! Never heard of Howden - a quick google suggests it's worth a look for sure ❤️ There appears to be so much to love up this way!
@@comealongdear one of the pubs Bowmans lets you park for a tenner. Or you can stay on Bev’s drive on search for sites. Just don’t ever drink with her, it’s dangerous
Howden is nice we nearly bought a lovely old quirky Victorian house near the church but we needed a four bedroomed house, it might have been an old school house I can’t remember now!
@@jemmajames6719 we aren’t far from the Minster. It’s a nice neighbourhood. I local wine shop delivered once while I was out to our street house. It was still there hours later! Not sure that’d have happened where I come from
Can’t go wrong with a meal deal, why pay more, especially on a beautiful day and you can sit outside Great tour of Beverly, I never knew it was so pretty
Thank you Mandy 🥰 Yes you know what, sitting by that river with a sandwich, was actually really lovely for a while, and cost £6 something for both of us. Can't complain at that! 😁
We've just moved from Beverley after 22 years of living there. Back in 2002 it was a good place to be but outside of the town centre it's become a building site with hundreds of new houses , very few of which are affordable for young locals. Along with that there's been no expansion of infrastructure of schools and doctors. Yorkshire Water have built a brand new sewage works a couple of years ago but it's already struggling to cope. Still, don't let me put you off.
Oh that's a shame and I'm sorry you felt this way to have to move 😟 Still, it's always good to hear the other side. Honestly, our expectations of towns are not particularly big, we've lived in and seen all sorts of places and trying to find the "perfect" town is...unrealistic and fanciful at best. Beverley certainly struck us as one of the best we've seen but it all depends what you're after I suppose and you do raise some interesting points. New build housing rarely seems affordable these days for most people. Thanks for the feedback and I hope you're happy wherever you've moved to
Beverley Minster sounds like one of the Munsters, Lily perhaps. The Munster niece Marilyn was coincidentally played by a Beverley Owen. So it all adds up. 🤪. Oh flax has omega 3. 🕺
Well, it's certainly munstrous in size 🤪 Ah I guess flaxseed is one of the best sources of omega 3 in a vegan diet. I think chia seeds might have even more? Not sure. Apparently you can get it in algae form too, but why do I suspect that will be substantially more expensive than our Tesco meal deals 🙈
If anyone wants a costa from tesco, the meal deal works out as sandwich and crisps for £1.09 I think. So couldn't agree more that a meal deal is good value. Especially as you say, compared to eating out. . 👍 👍 👍 Loving your videos. Thinking of getting a campervan too. I think platform 9 3/4 was filmed at King's Cross Station. But might be wrong. Who knows. Please carry on with the videos. They're great. 👍
Thank you Mathew 😊 Hmm how does that Costa deal work then, you buy a coffee in store and you get the meal deal sandwich and crisps for just over a quid?! That's pretty amazing if you were already gonna buy a coffee anyway! I think you might be right about Harry Potter, but it was filmed at York Station too as a back up for Kings Cross, or so we read. Good luck on getting a camper! Naturally, we'd thoroughly recommend it if you can 👍 😀
@@comealongdear Awww thanks for the awesome reply. Yeah my friend wanted a costa. It was a tesco express. Not that long ago. I'm pretty sure it was just over £1 for a sandwich and packet of crisps. Pretty sure it was £1.09 extra. Unless I've lost it... 😂 . Yeah I used the machine in there for her costa. Ah, fair enough. Sorry about that. So, they must have used multiple locations for the filming then. 👍 👍 👍 Cool. Yeah I'm looking for a van, maybe a vw but older one. If I was a more confident driver for parking I'd get one like yours because of the space! It's brilliant. 👍 👍 👍 I will get one though. Just a matter of when/money. Really enjoy your videos. Jealous but it's a nice jealousy, good on you guys. Giving me lots of ideas of places to go.
Well we'll be checking that deal out next time we find a tesco express then for sure 😁 It isn't always easy deciding on vans and of course money/life situations all play a part. If we've helped inspire or give you ideas in any way though, that's great. As for parking, that's exactly why we bought ours, it fits into a normal space, so perfect if you're not overly confident as really it's not much of a leap from driving a car according to Stephen 😁
@@comealongdear Thanks Steven, I didn't know it fitted in a parking space, I thought with all the space shown on the videos, it was much bigger. . That's exactly what I am looking for, . I totally missed that. 🙄😂Brilliant. Will add that to my list. Thanks so much. Good luck with with the costa/tesco meal deal. 🤞🤞🤞I hope I'm right.
Thank you, yes Beverley definitely pulled at our heads and hearts 😍 But that's all just an idea, a thought. The van gives us so much more opportunity to see things, so perhaps we'll keep that going for much longer than we thought, if circumstances allow 🤷♂️❤️
We do! Definitely not getting rid yet because it works and that just seems wasteful. It's a modern kettle but you're right, it's got a real vintage look 😍
We always find it fascinating how some minsters/cathedrals/abbeys are totally free, whereas others can charge anything up to £15-20 per person. Some of the best and biggest are free too 🤷♂️ We are more than happy to give donations for these - some now charge you say, 3 or 5 quid to take pictures etc, again we don't mind that as it's a donation, but the ones charging top end prices seem a bit questionable!
This video ought to be cancelled as a result, how did we miss that opportunity 🙈 Oh well the spirit of Bubble is always with us, except when she isn't 🤦♂️
Maybe the Cathedrals are those with a spire/s? A minster maybe more square and possibly has live in priests? Save money while in the van and wait for an economic crash, and hope land/homes are up for grabs in Beverley, for people with cash.
I think there's probably a few little differences like that, but the main thing seemed to be minsters originating in Anglo-Saxon times, and cathedrals later, and cathedrals being a seat of a bishop. But it seems like quite a grey area. Hmm I think you're probably right, we might be better off staying in the van and saving that way for the foreseeable...if our work continues we might well do that
Did you price any property for sale in Beverley? Perhaps a modest little pied-a-terre with a shop underneath you could rent out to defray expenses while you go off on van and work trips.
Ooh now the way you write that makes it sound ever so appealing 😍😂 That would be the dream for us - to keep doing what we're doing, but with a base. However, whether finances allow for that is another matter. It seems a big stretch but you never know. Prices seem reasonable in Beverley compared to much of the country (damn we are useless, we forgot to include any of that in the video again! We'll be back there though for sure 😁). P.S - Defray. That was an answer in a crossword the other day, and like buggery could I solve it. And now the word's popping up, as if to taunt and remind me 😂
Hello. Two places I know very well. Shambles is too busy. I stayed at the York Youth Hostel once. I went out with a bloke from Beverley for a while. That Park and Ride is good. Free for me with my bus pass. Very good service. See you on the next one. Toodle pip. ilona
Morning Ilona, I hope the bloke from Beverley was nice, I don't want this illusion being shattered about how lovely people are there 😂 Shambles was busy indeed but it had to be done. That park and ride was a gem. Shame you can't stay overnight but it didn't matter as it's just nice to get to visit a big city and leave the van safely. Very frequent buses too. Have a good week ❤️
Oh no! Well, I'd like to say there's someone good out there for us all, but it's a deep, dark ocean and it's damn difficult landing a catch you don't want to throw back immediately or one that doesn't cause a funny turn later down the line. However, if it means we get more of your lovely videos in the single life (which absolutely has its perks!) then there is an upside ❤️🤗
Hello, thankfully he's had no headaches since the hospital visit and taking the blood pressure tablets, so hopefully it was just that. His eye has been the same since birth (he says he can see around corners 😂🤪) and he has driven for years for no problem prior to this (and arguably drives less than in his old job) so with any luck it's been sorted. We'll of course keep an eye(!) on it though as time goes on
Cool video as always, if you ever go back to Beverley, visit "Nellies" (White horse pub) its a real gem of a pub. Its gas lit, with real fires and lots a quirky small rooms, battered old furniture, old books etc. a real atmosphere to the place. Keep up the good work. lovely to see you both in my neck of the woods
Hi Chris, thank you for the suggestion! One of our other subscribers mentioned Nellie's to us ages ago so I'm sad we forgot to go, I suppose because it was a flying visit. Suffice to say, we will be back! 😍
That's interesting to know, thanks for that 👍 We admit we've got no real concept of American prices. The only consistency is that it seems to be rising everywhere especially the last 4 years

Cheers Gareth, thanks for watching as always! 👍 Have a great week
Beverley is a fabulous place a lovely walk down the river. Lots to explore too. Yorkshire is such a lovely place to live. York looks lovely need a few days there.
If you go back to Beverley you can park on the Westwood also known as Beverley racecourse fantastic for walking and running.
Great video guys glad you are enjoying sightseeing.
Ooh we didn't see a river, we didn't have enough time, but that's even better if Beverley has one nearby 😍 Thank you for the racecourse tip too! 🙏
@@comealongdear most of Beverley is 2 hour parking but Flemingate car park is reasonable in prices to park. Great teepee they do hot drinks in winter at Flemingate near Beverley minster.
Lots to discover there another time.
Thank you so much, we will check it out next time we go 😍👍
Wow, York looks fantastic! Countryside looks like the Skåne flats, and I felt there were many elements of Germanic aesthetic in the buildings as well, apart from looking very, VERY essentially picturesque British. It reminded me of Ystad and bits of other Swedish towns. Imagine living in the Shambles. Oof, too much no matter how pretty it is.
Beverly looked so pretty, like a mini version of York. Love the gothic masonry in the British medieval churches. The minster was very imposing! Looked more French/German than British to me. Thank you for the explanation and all the other interesting tidbits.
The prices have gone wild here as well. A Burger meal is sometimes more costly than getting a pizza. Crazy. I'll take the later, thank you very much, but prefer to cook at home. They have "about to go bad" bins in stores here. I love them because you can get great deals and don't have to plan ahead. 😅
The channel would still survive even if you pick a home base. It would just be a bit longer between your fun adventures.
Until next Sunday, cheers from Skåne!
Good Morning 🌞 Ooh you know funnily enough we were reminded of Skåne driving between York and Beverley. It's a funny place because most parts of Yorkshire are known for its wild rolling hills, but there's a surprising amount of flat areas too.
I think you're right about the buildings in York, it feels like there's lots of influences there and yes, that Minster seemed very French/continental in style! Beverley was pretty but it was more the feeling of pace and atmosphere it had, without sacrificing a thriving community, that kind of drew us in. The balance was just right 👌Definitely some Ystad vibes in both places. Interestingly, there is a big viking museum in York, and I think viking history is big in that part of the country. Whether that has any influence on how York and its surrounding areas look I don't know, but it seems interesting that Skåne/Ystad seem to share a lot of similarities with York/Yorkshire (I guess part of that is just pure Geography though).
We love nothing more than a rummage through the reduced goods section in a supermarket 😁 You get used to certain times and days to go as well. Definitely with you on choosing pizza over a burger, and as you say, the latter is often pricier now 🤷♂️
Whatever we decide to do about our future I think we'd like to keep the videos going regardless, even if they became less frequent. But that's in the future for now 😁
Hope everything is well for you back in Skåne, have a great weekend, whatever is left of it 😍❤️
@@comealongdear And in Yorkshire it's worth remembering that once you get east of the Pennines into the Vale of York there's significantly less rain.
Yes! We did think that, although wetter than where we're from (the South east) it would probably be, on balance, a bit drier and less windy than the Western side...on average!
The best channel on you tube ❤❤❤❤
watch Northerner on Tour Mark and Lisa with little Chicco they live full time in their van and have travelled all over Europe
😍😍 Thank you, what an amazing compliment. I'll send the money later 😉
Beverly is an incredible gem that often goes unnoticed. It’s an amazing destination with such delightful people. It was adorable to see you lying on Stephen. Your editing abilities are truly top-notch; at one moment, I felt like I was watching a documentary. What camera do you use? Never lose sight of your dreams. One day, you'll achieve your goal of having your own place and running your channel. Just remember us when you do. You are simply the best!😊
Evening Paul, Beverley is indeed a hidden gem, just one of those towns that has that special something whilst quietly going about its business and not being on the tourist trail as such. We loved it and yes the people seemed great and very happy from what we saw 😍 Thank you so much for your kind words on the editing, that means a lot to me as it does take a while to put these together and can be hit and miss, so any feedback is a bonus. Even after all this time we still just use our trusty camera phone! Maybe one day we'll get a proper one, but they are so convenient to whip out and put away again!
Haha not sure Stephen was so pleased with me leaning on him like that uninvited, but it was tough, I was tired 😂
Thank you as always Paul, have a good week ❤️ 🙏
For gods sake don’t tell people, it will be terrible if it becomes another York!
There's a town called York here in Mendocino County, but it's nothing like that place! Another lovely video, guys. As for being thrifty, my gramma always said save your money when you can so you can spend it when you want. Words to live by.
Thank you! ❤️ It's amazing how many places in the US have British names, well maybe not that weird because America is huge with the same language, but nonetheless it's still bizarre to me to see places called "Birmingham" and "Manchester" etc! Ah your grandma has sage advice - simple and to the point, and undeniable! ❤️
@@comealongdearsame in Australia mate, I live in Berwick in St Johns Wood Estate - you poms are everywhere 😅
Good start to my day watching you two lovely chaos, thank you. It takes us ages (well, one of us) to get the day started too - and we don’t live in a van. Thanks for sharing - Beverley looks a lovely place and the church and Minster look amazing. I am always left dumbfounded when I see the intricate and beautiful stone and wood carvings on these ancient places - what skill! I can’t cope very well with crowds so I feel I miss out on seeing a lot of things/places. We prefer to go around houses etc on our own too, although some guided tours give you snippets of information that we might not know. I hope you are having a good weekend - stay well and safe. ❤️❤️
Morning Irene 🌞 Crowds are definitely not our favourite which was why we found York a bit overwhelming, so you're not alone ❤️ I find filming is a good distraction however. Beverley though, that was just the right level for us - everything you need but still felt quaint and cosy.
Definitely with you on the carvings and stonework etc in these buildings! It's truly unbelievable to think of the level of detail, and all created centuries ago without the tools or technology we have now (not to mention the safety aspect 😬🙈). The more time moves on, the more buildings feel like cardboard pop-ups in comparison.
The tour was really informative I just wish we could have filmed in there, but we did learn quite a lot along the way (and it was nice to get out of the crowds for a bit).
Thank you and hope you're having a good weekend too ❤️
@@comealongdear Thank you - we just got back from 2 weeks holiday in Scotland in the caravan - got stuck on the M6 in 27 degrees with 3 dogs for about 90 minutes - luckily our tow vehicle is a campervan so at least we had water and a “facility”. Always look forward to your videos whatever they are about. ❤️❤️
Oh no! That's the worst, and in such heat as well 😬 I hope you had a great time in Scotland (and do let us know of any places worth visiting!), hopefully the doggies were okay 🙏 The best thing about being stuck in a long traffic jam is when you have the campervan/caravan. A quick snack, some water, a sneaky wee...all possible! 😁 Hope you got back okay in the end
@@comealongdear we got back ok a lot later obvs and really tired today. We were on small CL just outside Stonehaven south of Aberdeen - our first time in that part of Scotland - and loved it - beaches and mountains close by. OH was desperate to see Dunnottar castle. Plenty of other castles/gardens to visit esp. if you are NT members who are accepted at NT Scotland. We saw loads of other campervans and motorhomes. Fairly lucky with the weather too - most of the rain was at night. We shall go back there sometime.
Glad you had a lovely time, and thanks for the National Trust tip, we weren't sure if it would be usable in Scotland!
Love the honesty of your life you share. Xx
Thank you Karen, we just try to be ourselves, for good or bad 😂❤️
Listen guys you need to visit Knott End on Sea, right by the sea. Its beautiful, mostly undiscovered with cheap as chips flats but absolutely amazing community. The lakes are within striking distance, the Forest of Bowland and even Blackpool by Tram! (Get on right move)
Hi Denise, thank you for the tip! We'll have a look as we're always keen to see new places and we're especially interested if it's an affordable area 😍
So, getting up in the morning and finding out it's the afternoon by the time you get started is a van life thing! Or at least that's the excuse we use.
I (Darren) have never been to York, but I suppose it's one of those places you have to see at least once.... Although! The crowds?
Alison remembers driving through Beverley when she was in her 20s and was disappointed she didn't have time to stop. So if you do settled there one day I can think of a couple of visitors that could see themselves popping by to say hello.
Much love Darren and Alison 🤟♥️
Ah Darren, I hope you're feeling so much better now! To go through all that must have been very scary, I'm so glad you're okay. Not sure if you filmed anything for it, but I must admit I was glad we weren't doing any videos when Steve was taken ill 😂🙈
The starting in the afternoon thing is definitely a vanlife trait! And of course, we are very grateful for it. However, it's a terrible terrible habit in the UK winter, when you wake up and only have a couple of hours of light to play with 🤦♂️
I think you would both enjoy a day trip to York regardless. One park and ride had a specific motorhome area, no overnight, but a safe place to leave the van, get a bus into the city, and leave at the end. Not too shabby.
If we did ever settle in the delightful Beverley you would of course be welcome guests of honour...free park up, too 😉 Actually probably not, as if we could afford somewhere with a drive 😂
Safe travels both and hope you're able to get out exploring again Darren after the recent trauma 😊 🙏 Much love ❤️ 🤟
@@comealongdear I'm fine now, back in the van and ready to start our next adventure. As for filming, we're not going to make a big thing of it in the videos. However thanks for asking. I must admit, I did forget to ask how Steve is doing now. Being good? Ish! 😉
Good to hear, glad you're ok and yes Stephen is well thank you. We've been at work for 6 weeks (!!) so these recent videos (and next week's) were filmed to tide us over while we couldn't film. So we've been angels, not a drop of alcohol or many bad food habits in that whole time, but I'm sure we'll have a few treats when we leave, which is today funnily enough. Off to see family for a bit before heading out again so we might have to miss a video one week but hey ho. Safe travels to you all ❤️
Beverley is nice. You’ll have to try Howden down the road which also has a minster. Much more of a village feel even though it’s a town. We love it here.
Hey, thanks for the tip! Never heard of Howden - a quick google suggests it's worth a look for sure ❤️ There appears to be so much to love up this way!
@@comealongdear one of the pubs Bowmans lets you park for a tenner. Or you can stay on Bev’s drive on search for sites. Just don’t ever drink with her, it’s dangerous
Good to know, thank you. Uh oh, well given we like a beer or 7, that could get messy 😂
Howden is nice we nearly bought a lovely old quirky Victorian house near the church but we needed a four bedroomed house, it might have been an old school house I can’t remember now!
@@jemmajames6719 we aren’t far from the Minster. It’s a nice neighbourhood. I local wine shop delivered once while I was out to our street house. It was still there hours later! Not sure that’d have happened where I come from
You can’t beat living in Yorkshire.
From what we've seen, we can well believe it 😍
Yes you can it's a damned dump😅😅😅
What a coincidence, had homemade yogurt this morning including ground Flaxseeds walnuts, raisins, Prunes and pumpkin seeds:-)
Yum 😋 All of that is definitely more appealing to eat than a standard porridge or cereal I think 😍
Can’t go wrong with a meal deal, why pay more, especially on a beautiful day and you can sit outside
Great tour of Beverly, I never knew it was so pretty
Thank you Mandy 🥰 Yes you know what, sitting by that river with a sandwich, was actually really lovely for a while, and cost £6 something for both of us. Can't complain at that! 😁
We've just moved from Beverley after 22 years of living there. Back in 2002 it was a good place to be but outside of the town centre it's become a building site with hundreds of new houses , very few of which are affordable for young locals. Along with that there's been no expansion of infrastructure of schools and doctors. Yorkshire Water have built a brand new sewage works a couple of years ago but it's already struggling to cope. Still, don't let me put you off.
Oh that's a shame and I'm sorry you felt this way to have to move 😟 Still, it's always good to hear the other side. Honestly, our expectations of towns are not particularly big, we've lived in and seen all sorts of places and trying to find the "perfect" town is...unrealistic and fanciful at best. Beverley certainly struck us as one of the best we've seen but it all depends what you're after I suppose and you do raise some interesting points. New build housing rarely seems affordable these days for most people.
Thanks for the feedback and I hope you're happy wherever you've moved to
Beverley Minster sounds like one of the Munsters, Lily perhaps. The Munster niece Marilyn was coincidentally played by a Beverley Owen. So it all adds up. 🤪. Oh flax has omega 3. 🕺
Well, it's certainly munstrous in size 🤪 Ah I guess flaxseed is one of the best sources of omega 3 in a vegan diet. I think chia seeds might have even more? Not sure. Apparently you can get it in algae form too, but why do I suspect that will be substantially more expensive than our Tesco meal deals 🙈
If anyone wants a costa from tesco, the meal deal works out as sandwich and crisps for £1.09 I think. So couldn't agree more that a meal deal is good value. Especially as you say, compared to eating out. . 👍 👍 👍
Loving your videos. Thinking of getting a campervan too.
I think platform 9 3/4 was filmed at King's Cross Station. But might be wrong. Who knows.
Please carry on with the videos. They're great. 👍
Thank you Mathew 😊 Hmm how does that Costa deal work then, you buy a coffee in store and you get the meal deal sandwich and crisps for just over a quid?! That's pretty amazing if you were already gonna buy a coffee anyway!
I think you might be right about Harry Potter, but it was filmed at York Station too as a back up for Kings Cross, or so we read.
Good luck on getting a camper! Naturally, we'd thoroughly recommend it if you can 👍 😀
@@comealongdear
Awww thanks for the awesome reply. Yeah my friend wanted a costa. It was a tesco express. Not that long ago. I'm pretty sure it was just over £1 for a sandwich and packet of crisps. Pretty sure it was £1.09 extra. Unless I've lost it... 😂 . Yeah I used the machine in there for her costa.
Ah, fair enough. Sorry about that. So, they must have used multiple locations for the filming then. 👍 👍 👍 Cool.
Yeah I'm looking for a van, maybe a vw but older one. If I was a more confident driver for parking I'd get one like yours because of the space! It's brilliant. 👍 👍 👍 I will get one though. Just a matter of when/money.
Really enjoy your videos. Jealous but it's a nice jealousy, good on you guys. Giving me lots of ideas of places to go.
Well we'll be checking that deal out next time we find a tesco express then for sure 😁
It isn't always easy deciding on vans and of course money/life situations all play a part. If we've helped inspire or give you ideas in any way though, that's great. As for parking, that's exactly why we bought ours, it fits into a normal space, so perfect if you're not overly confident as really it's not much of a leap from driving a car according to Stephen 😁
@@comealongdear Thanks Steven, I didn't know it fitted in a parking space, I thought with all the space shown on the videos, it was much bigger. . That's exactly what I am looking for, . I totally missed that. 🙄😂Brilliant. Will add that to my list. Thanks so much.
Good luck with with the costa/tesco meal deal. 🤞🤞🤞I hope I'm right.
Tut tut your both to young to be settling down ❤ Lovely video Beverly is gorgeous ❤❤
Thank you, yes Beverley definitely pulled at our heads and hearts 😍 But that's all just an idea, a thought. The van gives us so much more opportunity to see things, so perhaps we'll keep that going for much longer than we thought, if circumstances allow 🤷♂️❤️
Do you still have the green kettle? I hope you dont throw it away its unique.. I like how vintage jt looks. ❤
We do! Definitely not getting rid yet because it works and that just seems wasteful. It's a modern kettle but you're right, it's got a real vintage look 😍
😃👍 found your channel today, I really like it.
Ah that's brilliant, thank you so much and glad you like our videos 😍🙏
i have lived in Beverley
Hello, good to know! Did you enjoy living there?
I live in York but regularly Pop over to Beverley for a few nights, lovely little place and York Minster charging £££ and Beverley is free
We always find it fascinating how some minsters/cathedrals/abbeys are totally free, whereas others can charge anything up to £15-20 per person. Some of the best and biggest are free too 🤷♂️ We are more than happy to give donations for these - some now charge you say, 3 or 5 quid to take pictures etc, again we don't mind that as it's a donation, but the ones charging top end prices seem a bit questionable!
Yes, we live in Rip-Off Britain. There is a Christmas Shop in Edinburgh I'm sure and defo one in Stirling.
Learned a few things. ❤
Christmas shops and tourist towns seem to go hand in hand! We didn't know about one in Stirling though and I'm sure we've been there!
I live in York and you don't have to pay to go round the walls
Yes we found that out in the end, that was a relief in York let me tell you 😂
I now refer to York as YUK !,,, it’s a nightmare city too many people Yuk 😅
Fair enough 😂 We did like it but yeah...just a bit much people wise!
Can’t believe you said “who can say” without saying it like bubble. 🤦❤️🥂
This video ought to be cancelled as a result, how did we miss that opportunity 🙈 Oh well the spirit of Bubble is always with us, except when she isn't 🤦♂️
Place out York camping for van think. .as near river too
That would be handy to know, anywhere to park around there (or decent campsites) would be useful if we go back. Cheers 👍❤️
Maybe the Cathedrals are those with a spire/s? A minster maybe more square and possibly has live in priests? Save money while in the van and wait for an economic crash, and hope land/homes are up for grabs in Beverley, for people with cash.
I think there's probably a few little differences like that, but the main thing seemed to be minsters originating in Anglo-Saxon times, and cathedrals later, and cathedrals being a seat of a bishop. But it seems like quite a grey area.
Hmm I think you're probably right, we might be better off staying in the van and saving that way for the foreseeable...if our work continues we might well do that
Did you price any property for sale in Beverley? Perhaps a modest little pied-a-terre with a shop underneath you could rent out to defray expenses while you go off on van and work trips.
Ooh now the way you write that makes it sound ever so appealing 😍😂 That would be the dream for us - to keep doing what we're doing, but with a base. However, whether finances allow for that is another matter. It seems a big stretch but you never know. Prices seem reasonable in Beverley compared to much of the country (damn we are useless, we forgot to include any of that in the video again! We'll be back there though for sure 😁).
P.S - Defray. That was an answer in a crossword the other day, and like buggery could I solve it. And now the word's popping up, as if to taunt and remind me 😂
@@comealongdearI think I might be able to solve buggery. 😉🤞❤️🥂
😂 Now now, someone could be reading this at the ungodly hour of 6am, you'll give them a fright!
Hello. Two places I know very well. Shambles is too busy. I stayed at the York Youth Hostel once. I went out with a bloke from Beverley for a while. That Park and Ride is good. Free for me with my bus pass. Very good service. See you on the next one. Toodle pip. ilona
Morning Ilona, I hope the bloke from Beverley was nice, I don't want this illusion being shattered about how lovely people are there 😂
Shambles was busy indeed but it had to be done. That park and ride was a gem. Shame you can't stay overnight but it didn't matter as it's just nice to get to visit a big city and leave the van safely. Very frequent buses too. Have a good week ❤️
@@comealongdear I thought he was nice, a good match, but I was mistaken. Another failure. 😦🤢🤨
Oh no! Well, I'd like to say there's someone good out there for us all, but it's a deep, dark ocean and it's damn difficult landing a catch you don't want to throw back immediately or one that doesn't cause a funny turn later down the line. However, if it means we get more of your lovely videos in the single life (which absolutely has its perks!) then there is an upside ❤️🤗
Completely off topic, but could Steve's head aches be caused by his Exotropia in his eye? Especially with the amount of driving he does?
Hello, thankfully he's had no headaches since the hospital visit and taking the blood pressure tablets, so hopefully it was just that. His eye has been the same since birth (he says he can see around corners 😂🤪) and he has driven for years for no problem prior to this (and arguably drives less than in his old job) so with any luck it's been sorted. We'll of course keep an eye(!) on it though as time goes on
@@comealongdear PMSL, around corners* lolololol. I got eye strain from work, it's not joke.
Cool video as always, if you ever go back to Beverley, visit "Nellies" (White horse pub) its a real gem of a pub. Its gas lit, with real fires and lots a quirky small rooms, battered old furniture, old books etc. a real atmosphere to the place. Keep up the good work. lovely to see you both in my neck of the woods
Dirty Nellies, even in the 1960s it had straw on the floor and she used her old underwear to clean the glasses.
Hi Chris, thank you for the suggestion! One of our other subscribers mentioned Nellie's to us ages ago so I'm sad we forgot to go, I suppose because it was a flying visit. Suffice to say, we will be back! 😍
@@jemmajames6719I'm now more sold on this place than ever 😂
America is far more expensive than the UK for eating out. All the fast food chains are suffering there. York is beautiful but touristy.
That's interesting to know, thanks for that 👍 We admit we've got no real concept of American prices. The only consistency is that it seems to be rising everywhere especially the last 4 years
I like Beverly better, too.❤
We like you, Peter 😁😍❤️
