- I took Helen to Chesterfield Bric-a-Brac Market. Then I went and chilled out in Aldi Car Park where I cooked a fillet steak. This is the dream!

I bet Helen was just the same at school as she is now,which makes her special for not letting life&all it's hard knocks change her one bit👏👏
She's very special 😂
@@bythecurb”special”! 😂🤣💀
James, you’re doing bloody well! I admire your courage to decide that enough is enough regarding your house rent etc. Love the vlogs mate. Good luck to you and Helen. Keep em “ coming “ 😂
Thank you so much 😊❤️
One Friday a bloke phoned me up in a bit of a panic and wanted to know if I could shoot a wedding at short notice. When I asked him when the wedding was he said "tomorrow " anyway I said I'd drive over with the paperwork to this farm in Chesterfield. We did the contract for the next day and I set about planning the photos. It was being held at the crooked spire. I did the home shots and then sped off to the church to photograph the arrival. I was stood talking to the vicar when the bride appeared. Instead of a bouquet she was carrying a baby! The vicar looked at me and I looked at the vicar and there was this long silence before I said " There's not much chance of that straightening up then." As I glanced upwards. Then me and the vicar disolved into giggles. The bride couldn't work out what all the laughing was about....Golden moments.
@@michelles2299 You have to know the legend about the crooked spire. And also have a sophisticated Yorkshire sense of humour.
😂😂
@@johngrant5448 well, you've got this far, so come on, tell us the legend ... ...
@@bythecurb btw - I loved the penguins at the zoo joke - never heard that one b4 😀😀
@@joline2730 It has long been said, since the church was first built in fact, that the spire will straighten up the very next time that a virgin bride gets married there. Now this particular bride walked in holding a baby not flowers as is the custom. Does it make sense now? Also brides carried flowers to mask the stink that they used to give off in former ages. Flowers really aren't necessary today since we have showers.
Doing your own incidental music is a brilliant way of avoiding copyright issues, brilliant
You were just steps away from a cracking independent pub called The Market that does fantastic food. I was almost shouting at the screen - turnaround!! The building you were in Sorbo Lounge used to be the main Post Office for the town centre.
Impressed with your hidden music talents.
Shame that we missed that 😔
You need a sticker on the van... "when the vans a rockin' don't come knocking" just for Helen.
" Helen " if it's not Effing and Jeffing, it's Bonking, you are sooooo naughty 😁☺😛
Just amazing what that van company did for you, so good. The appreciation will probably never wear off as you enjoy that new van and all it's plushness and features 👍
Thanks, I love it. Chuffed to bits 🙂
Watched most of your videos. Great content. Always some fun to be had when Helen is with you. Keep up the great work James and Helen .I can only see this channel growing and growing .
Thank you 🙂
Hi James, I spent five months in a Peugeot Partner partly converted in Southsea Portsmouth because I wanted to experience van life, and although it was quite hard at times, the sense of freedom I felt was immense! My views were ever changing and they were a feast for my eyes. I wish I could have lived this life for longer and toured mainland europe! Love your new van makeover! Stay safe.
Yet another lovely vlog, Helen is really funny with her naughty talk, you love it really 😂. How amazing is the new set up, get you cookibg happily all confy, amazing! You can actually see how much more relaxed you are now youre settled into van life. Love it!
Thank you, I do love it really. Shes always making me laugh 😂

That was gold again. I was either grinning or giggling the whole way through. You two compliment eachother with Yorkshire banter,especially when Helen says it as it is and you get embarrassed James. I can't wait to get back to gods country for the hols,take care until next time
Thank you 😊
What do you use for editing
@@GlynhandisidesTVUk-qg2dhprolly a computer!
Hi James and Helen. I absolutely love watching your vlogs. You are both so entertaining and you make such a great couple. You have shown that you dont need a huge van with all mod cons to make this way of life work. A huge thank you for brightening up my evenings.
Bangin' tunes mate! Seriously - you've got talent. Keep 'em coming!
When this vans a rocking…
lol love how Helen can’t self edit just shows how genuine and real you guys are 💯
I might do an uncut version sometime with all the bloopers and expletives etc
DJ Yorkshire pud in da house..brilliant ,your very talented my friend !
Wicked vid James. Music as well, friggin jack of all trades, lovin it mate. 😁
Great video James. You need to get some Xmas decks up in the van. You might need Helen to help you. Best wishes!
Loved your music compositions James, Nice work!
James, yet another class video fro you and Helen. I love the upgraded van and the music for Helens dinner was very professional and the music for your chicken burger was very reminiscent of early 90's pop group "Ace of base" 😅. Your videos are entertainment all the way, I only wish they were longer. Thanks .
Thank you, a few people have said that. Might try a slightly longer format
Great video James, who'd of thought I would be fascinated watching a steak being cooked in the back of a van.
Going through the back catalogue of vlogs and enjoying the content. Looking forward to all future vlogs.
Another ace video guys ❤
ooooooooo emmmmm geeeeeee Helen is an Incognito fan. Respect Helen!👊 I love the banter between you guys. Its brilliant. I'm also glad Helen loved the regenerated van. Keep on doing what you're doing both of you. Much respect- Kenny
Thanks Kenny, we both love em. Their new album is great
@@bythecurb massive soul and jazz funk fan here. My viv-i-van "Music to bimble by" playlist is 100% quality soul and Jazz funk. I play it to get happy memories of being a 19 year old pub dj lol ( which was a LOT of years ago)
That is one set up love the roof vent, gonna be nice in summer 😊
Oh my days James, what a metamorphis from your lamb burger video!! Funnily enough, I'd not long finished re-watching your Peak District vid with Helen being Jamie Oliver as an antidote to your cooking attempt when I saw this. I watch alot of cooking vids & I was very impressed with you toasting the bread as part of the ensemble. Loved all the rest of the vid as per, the music was - interesting lol, keep it up.
Thank you, I'm getting better lol 😂
Van looks great you deserve it. Nice comfortable van better for you it will make van life so much better. Nice that Helen loves the makeover .Looking forward to next video .Keep warm and stay safe
😊
Thank you 😊❤️
Gosh that sandwich looked delicious!, well done. Look forward to more 🤭☃️🎄
BANGING TUNES!!..... More of that buddy!!!!
James you and Helen are Great - lovely Video X
Good to hear the vans been christened! 😂😂
🎉🎉
James you should be so proud of how far you've come. Your anxiety levels are way low now. That steak sandwich looked delicious 😋 lol Helen sure keeps you on your toes and is a real tonic 😊 ps loved the music 🎶
Thanks, not to sound over the top but UA-cam has made me so much more confident
Nice to see another place ive heard of but never been to. Really enjoyed watching you and Helen together - great fun. 🙂🙂
Thank you
Good one James. The steak looked gorgeous! 😊
Loving The Helen Show ❤🤗
Love your new van - what a great job those guys did. And love this vlog - looked a delicious steak sandwich 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
You’re welcome James. You have certainly found the right recipe for success. We wish you, and Helen the very best for the future.
Sithee.
Apparently the storm ‘Helen’ is on the way. Hope you’re back on home ground buddy. 👍🏽
Content is great keep em coming matwy
I love watching your vlog I can't wait for the next episode. I get bored waiting. Keep up tge great work.
I hope you guys really do a sandwich, salad, or soup sampler video at least once a week. Any sandwiches and soups/stews/chowders that would be freshly prepared by one or both of you FROM the updated van. A challenge but ya can do it. That would be really fun as well as helpful for the thousands out there who have had to cut back to smaller but tasty meals like salads, sandwiches, and/or soups. Helen MUST be related to Sarah Ferguson. She has a sparkly personality and a beautiful smile. And he seems so much happier and relaxed recently. The tunes were great and so fun! Loves ya both.
Thank you :-)
a big hello from dublin i really enjoy the banter between you and helen and the video content is great, the refurbed van is a game ghanger keep up the posting.
Thank you, Hello Dublin
Great Video as always Mate Love How Brilliant your Van Looks inside
Thank you :-)
Love the music - good job that man!
Yes... chuckling again. Please never change.
James your music definitely gives Ross Geller a run for his money 👍
You two always make me smile ♥️
Great job mate.
I used to live a few mins walk from Chesterfield Town and not been back since I left years ago so was nice to see thanks
What another top notch video!! Loved it!! Loved the tunes to the food 😀 Chesterfield…. Last time I was there was for the football. Your steak sandwich looked class pal! Helen wanted to snog you at the start of that not knowing she was on camera! 😂… take it steady! …. Smithy
Thanks Smithy 😊
You need a Portable Splatter Guard for when you are frying , great video and loved the foodie music
😂😂Helen is Brilliant laughing all the way through the video .👍👍
It seems like you got a really loyal following. Most of your subscribers seem to watch each video, whereas with most channels, only a small percentage do. That is true even for the channels with alot more subscribers😊
Thank you, we have some great subscribers 🙂
Can't believe it in my neck of the woods and I didn't know hope you had fun ❤❤
Just watched you vlog absolutely brilliant as usual.
Thank you
Another very enjoyable video 😊
Improved van looks amazing
Hi James and Helen wonderful video yet again u 2... Love the banter and laughs keep the videos comeing matey...💯🤗
Thanks 👍
Like the Jamiraqui hat 😂. I think I might give that Deep a go this weekend it looked good James and not too far from Leeds
Nice to see you visit my home town. For food, you would have been better off in the market inn pub, about 20 yards further from sorbo😂. Grea vids and love the van.
Thank you, glad you like the videos 😊
Another great video that made me smile. You and Helen really cheer me up. Chesterfield looked really interesting and lunch music was great. Keep up the good work. Only problem with this video, now i fancy a steak sandwich 😀
Thank you, glad you liked it
Next time you two are in Cheg-Vagas try the Market pub just down from the sorbo lounge. It was in the background at the start of your video as you walked into the Market Square.
Another enjoyable video James and Helen!
If you are coming down south...try my "manor"...Thanet (Margate, Broadstairs, Ramsgate).
Lots of van life places to park up down here.
I'll definitely be coming to Margate & Ramsgate but might wait for the weather to get a bit better
Another good one my friend ❤
Hah! When Helen said "We've christened it", I wondered at first what new name you'd decided on!!
Top Vlog James that Stake sarnie looked reyt nice 👍
great Vlog guys, great music James, you need to give us more of that ... that steak also looked lovely... you are both awesome and looking forward to more Vlogs .. i do have a request (and being your number 1 fan, i think you need to honor this one..) - on your Christmas special Vlog, or one of your Christmas Vlogs, you need to do a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings in your van along with Helen ... i think you need some xmas decs up in your van too :) .... ignore me lol, i love what you both do regardless ... love you both, Alec x
Thanks Alec, we do have some plans for Xmas 😉
OMG ❤ watching you both you keep it real and i think that is a top quality to have ..... Loved both the songs you choose to go with your meals 😮...... Oh wow i must say James your Steak sandwich looked top notch see we can all cook when we put our minds to it i love what my sister says if you can read you can cook just google what you fancy to eat and you get lots of recipes to choose from ..... What a shame you didnt video the new transformation of your van 😮..... Take Care 😊😊...
Really enjoyed that video James full of chuckles 😀 Oh how was the hot truffle sauce by the way? All the best to both of you, David x
Thank you, the truffle sauce was brilliant. Not too hot though
Love the music to accompany the food
Another great vid, glad helibobs, loved the van makeover,, and Hope that finding it easier and manageable, are you planning a trip to the Cotswolds and Cheltenham lovely part of the world and for a weekend, I live in the Cheltenham area myself , the videos just get better and better so you're doing something right 😁👌
Thank you, I will be coming to the cotswolds in the new year. I'm currently in Cornwall for a few days 😊
Great stuff, love watching your travel vlogs. What was Helen's dinner music, please? Cheers and keep the good stuff going...
It was something I composed myself 😊
@bythecurb it was brilliant, and so was the steak sarnie!
Nice video James didn't realise you wrote ya own music best wishes Phil 👍
Its just a hobby Phil, I used to have a decent home studio many years ago
Thanks for the shout out Helen..was so nice to meet you xxx
Thank you, Helen told me all about you! 🙂
Keep Helen away from "shiny things", it is not possible but just grin and bear it. You and Helen are a lovely couple. Very enjoyable watching you cook, how to do well with very little room.
Thank you :-)
The sound of the fork on the non stick pan was 10 times worse than the traffic noise 🤣🤣 good show all the same 👍
Liked the tunes , spot on fella .
Nice to see you guys in My home town next time you need to go to the market pub for food next pud down lol keep up the amazing work cheers Neil and Wendy have a great Christmas
Thank you, you too 🙂
The tune was ace James !
Thank you 😊
You just needed a bit of after dinner acid house jazz for when you finished your meal guys!
Ahhh…. gutted we never got a Helebobs van makeover reaction vid, you missed a trick there James 😢. Your musical interludes were good enough for us not to notice mate, let the creative juices flow. Message for Helen> Please keep making James blush its soo funny 😂
Haha thank you 😂
Just shook off covid it was yuk hopefully you and Helen are all good excellent stuff as ever ol son ❤👍
Thanks for the interesting fact, we've looked him up, top bloke
Love the hat and the coat really suited you Helen you should have made the purchase.
Good Sunday viewing again 🍻
Helen is gorgeous as ever, love your vids!
Eyup You two ,lovely to see you both.James you looked so at ease in the new stylie van .very jealous now don't leave it unatended I'll avit..Al Sithe
Haha thanks. I'm loving it. Very cosy
Been sat with lads in chapeltown again waiting for you two to rock up but no show again..🤣🤣..Sunday 17th at 1pm in commercial.(indipendant bar)!.be there or don't lol..👍🍻🍻
Good one James 👍
James, you missed out on a good blog there would’ve loved Helen was seen the van for the first time out would’ve been a great blog. Anyway keep up the good work you’re doing a good job
Great video 👍
You two always put a smile on my grizzled mush. Chips in a cup can frig off though.
Haha agreed 😂
Helen taking ages getting out of the car, I think she was reading the car's handbook. 2:30
Helen talking about Christmas trees in Australia being upside down and James saying she is wrong and turns the camera away, then Helen jumps back in front of the camera to carry on 7:53 Very funny that 🤭🤭
The Tapas selection looked like it was worth the price, but the burger looked over priced and I would have said £8.00 would have seemed fair.
Forget the electric blanket. 17:17 We have the fury or polyester which is warm and not cold like a sheet.
One on the bottom, one over us, then we have a Duvet on the top of that and it is lovely and warm.
We used to have sheets and it was like climbing into ice and you slowly opened up as the bed slowly got warmer.
Now we just jump in and stretch out. (and no electric bill for it).
I love the heated fleece, best thing I've bought in a long time 🙂
hahahah I love helen so much the stuff she says cracks me up no hairs or graces about her u r so lucky James girls like Helen r few and far between lol u two r a great couple
Thank you, she's a star 😍
