Back to Van Life then.. Ireland does it again! (Donegal - Exploring Ireland)
After an intense few weeks looking for remote cottages to buy in Ireland, and the usual stress that comes with buying and selling a house, some calm and tranquility was needed.
We headed to Donegal, after all the recommendations would this county in the North of Ireland live up to the hype? We rejoin the wild Atlantic way, after probably one of the best wild camping spots we've ever spent the night at in our van.
Whether you've been watching recently for the abandoned cottage/remote lifestyle suff, or the van life travel stuff, we just want to say a huge thank you for all the support, and if you continue to join us for the ride then we will be sharing plenty more of both. We are on quite the adventure building our selves a sustainable life off the grid..

Missed the discounts. Blooming life getting in the way.
@@richardrayner816hen life gets in thenway?? I do.
Just a wee revision on history. The Great Hunger wasn't a famine. It was the failure of one crop, the one the poorest depended on. The rest of Ireland was still fertile, it was only potato that failed. In fact, food was still being sent too England under armed guard. The Great Hunger was political, not a famine across the land. Political decisions to let the poorest starve in an island flourishing with food. My family were from Donegal and emigrated to Scotland. The sea fare to the Americas was really high and so the poorest made it to Britain, usually landing in Glasgow or Liverpool. Morgan 💜
Also they had a potato famine in England at the same time.
@jamesbeech8643 but the English didn't starve because the English controlled the food
Correct and despite so many starving to death Ireland was still a net exporter of food during this period. There was no famine. Some argue it was a form of ethnic cleansing.
Irish oats exported to feed English horses !!
As a 25 year Pro Photographer your imagery is 10/10 you are IMO pretty close the best Vlogers I have ever seen. Thank you Both of you
Thank you
A good friend and I spent a week in South Ireland this last September, mostly just driving. We put about 1800 kilometers on the rental car and had a fantastic time! The scenery, the lore, the pubs and the gracious people all totaled up to one of the most fantastic experiences of my life! I am a little obsessed at this point, and so want to return! I have traveled quite a bit, and no other country nor its people have affected me in quite the same way. Its so true that you never fully leave Ireland behind, it embeds in your soul and wont let go. Thanks for this video, it brough back a piece of the magic of my time spent there!
Isn’t it just a wonderful place, we’ve yet to meet anyone that hasn’t enjoyed Ireland. It definitely has a magic, as you seem agree 😃😃
Great video girls , glad your loving this country ...I've been to Glencar waterfall a couple of times. I also like to travel off season as it's not as busy.
Have to correct you, if you’re referring to it as South Ireland because there is a Northern Ireland, that’s considered offensive here, it’s the Republic of Ireland. 💚
@@Clisare I'm Irish, from Southern Ireland, and I never feel offended by whatever people call it - nor do any of my family or friends find it offensive. Context is everything, and when the context is people who don't live here just calling it whatever seems right to them then that's just fine with me because we can't expect them to know all the "whys and wherefores" of what a place should be called. Life is so much nicer when you're relaxed about these little things. 👍☘💚
Thank you! You are an example of the gracious nature of the people in your beautiful country. :) Of course I meant no offense (and you understood that from the context of my post) I was speaking in geographic terms. I absolutely plan to visit the northern regions upon my next visit! @@helenaville5939
Another fab episode girls ❤
Just one point have a listen to Sinead O'Connors song called Famine - one of the lines in there
"The truth about the famine was that there never really was one"
The potato harvest failed but there was enough food - it was being shipped out to England . So there wasn't a famine.During the years of the so called Famine - Anglo Irish landlords continued to export grain and livestock to England. There was enough food ! Not one rich person, not one priest died during the so called Famine but hundreds of thousands of poor people did die. So in other words the English attitude was one of they are Irish and only poor, sure what's the problem? The famine was a deliberate genocide.
It's another horrendous episode in the history of the British empire - of British colonialism. I'm English originally and to be honest when I moved here over 30 years ago - I was surprised that more Irish people don't detest the British. Yes we can't be accountable for our ancestors (if they were British) but we can hold in our attitude an awareness of what actually happened and how for over 800 years England milked Ireland - a country which wasnt theirs to milk. I studied History at Uni and was never told about what actually happened in the so called Famine - not one book spoke of the true facts - thankfully now there are (usually Irish) historians who tell the truth of what happened in Ireland during the 'famine' years.
Anyway history lesson over 😅
Big love to you both!
Yeah there are a lot more books and articles on it now which is great to learn about for sure, and we love a big history lesson 🙂
I' used to hate Sundays but knowing I've got your weekly video to look forward to has changed that. I even made a crappy excuse why I couldn't go out on Wednesday so I could watch your live stream. I don't think you're aware what you're doing is so inspirational and a reality check about what's really important in life. Fingers crossed survey reports are favourable and you'll soon be in your dream home. Both AJ and Summer are so chilled. I'm sure AJ knows he's a lucky dog
Thank you, that’s very kind of you to say and we are glad that you enjoy the vids 🙂🙂
You’re such a great couple ! I’m beyond flattered that you’ve decided to make your home here in Ireland !
We have fallen in love with Ireland 🙂🙂
As am I.... It's such an honour to watch your vlogs. And see my country through your eyes.
That snacking red squirrel is Emily's spirit animal 😂😂
As a Donegal resident myself, that's a grand Vlog, hope you enjoyed Donegal
We did, thank you 🙂
You two are Bord Fáilte's ( Irish Tourist Board) total dream. You remind me every week how beautiful Ireland can be. Even the non - Mayo parts. ❤💚❤️💚
It really is 🙂
LOL, greetings from Sligo
The way you cut the cakes was very Welsh, Emily. We have big halves and small halves there, which confuses the Germans when I offer them a big half. Half is… half here.
I sing the WB Yeats poem in my celtic concert programme and now I know what the „falls above Glencarr“ look like!
😂🍰
The grey squirrels never came to most of the west of Ireland. They never managed to cross the river Shannon. But in recent years, the pine marten has proliferated again and areas where the grey squirrels had replaced the native red squirrels, the red squirrels have returned.
Couldn’t believe my eyes on the thumbnail, I visited this exact waterfall when I visited Ireland in 1996 when I was 7 years old with my family, I literally was looking at the family photos from the trip half an hour ago! Lovely to see it again, I must visit one day with my daughter. Have a lovely time exploring!
That is crazy, it’s a lovely area
Wales is also gorgeous
Amazon Prime has a documentary called The Irish Pub, which is fantastic. I learned more about Ireland and its people in that than I have anywhere else. So the last time I was in Ireland and went to Donegal town, I made it a point to visit the pub there that starts the documentary and just had a fantastic time being there. In any case, thanks for the memories!
Going to Ireland in Sept..thanks for the tip-- will watch!
@@barbara6110 You are very welcome!
Really enjoying seeing all the spots that I know. Much respect for taking on Donegal in November. It's amazing in any weather 👍
It really is beautiful 😃
Omg so close .... I nearly spotted Lou hatless when she changed hats! 😲 I played it back a couple of times but she's just too clever with her editing!
I was raised between Ireland and England, and miss Ireland when I see videos like this. I've never been to the West Coast as I was brought up in Co Cork, but the town you were in very much reminds me of my local (Charleville) before it became more built up and modernised. I hope you will be very happy in Ireland. I settled for Wales, in between the two.
It’s a truly amazing place
We went to Ireland for 5 weeks in the Spring this year and you are visiting many of the places we saw too. The north scenery is stunning and the size and beauty of the beaches was something to behold. Hope all goes well with the house and you never bore us - it is a little Sunday night treat to see what you have been up to. Good Luck,
Simply amazing
Donegal kerry and wicklow are the three prettiest counties in ireland. Donegal actually blew me away with its vast scenery. Have fun xx
Yes they’re all very special, in fact we’ve loved all the counties so far! 😃
Oh! You left out Cork - West of Clonakilty to the Caha Mountains - one of the most underrepresented parts of Ireland!
@@nick.caffrey Very pretty indeed.
Hugh you left out Co. Cork - West cork is beautiful.
You'll gradually learn the code for waving at other road users 😂
No potholes !
Hi Emily, if you're struggling with the crochet,then look it up on the net. We've had 2 black cats both lid back.x
Just love Summer she is so adorable
AJ also cute
Allie Scotland UK 😊
Beautiful part of the world. I’ve spent time there with my dog and we even walked up Sliabh Liag. A bit jealous of you both being in Donegal now…
Thank you ladies and wee dog and cat 😁 for great tour! Donegal is spectacularly good in all seasons. Safe journeying around 🙋🏻♀️
Hi ladies, AJ and Summer. Donegal is amazing, there could be something interesting to attend next year if you are not in another country. On the 17th of August 2024, there’s a Dragon Boat Regatta, with lots of Dragon Boat racing. My dragon Boat team, Manchester Dragoneers (For survivors and supporters of breast cancer) will be racing that day alongside many other fantastic Dragon Boat clubs. Highly recommend any dragon Boat event. They are always fun to see the races. ❤ P.S. if you are ever in Manchester and fancy joining us on the boat drop us a message we paddle every Saturday morning even through winter 🥰
Please do a -30 full blown snow and ice van life, I want to see you snowed in with blizzards to see how you girls and the Van cope.
Xxx ❤
We do love the snow
Good luck with Engineer’s report 🤞 The countryside is so beautiful no wonder you have falling in love with Ireland!!💜🐶😺🤗🇦🇺🦘
Can't beat a bit of mystery stew on a chilly autumn night....🙌🏼
I can see that many Irish people came to America as Americans are notorious for not allowing dogs in many places. I also recognize many of the baked goods as things Americans love to eat. Interesting. Best of luck with the purchase! 😊 x
If you are having these lovely big beaches for yourselves, why not let your doggie loose so that he can run and have fun?
He’s got a metal plate in his leg from an operation, arthritis in all 4 and at 11 years old we are cautious of more damage. Plus there’s livestock around and it strictly says dogs on a lead.
"Drive in Light, Drive in Grace & I will find a parking space" 😂obviously works for Emily too.
An okd uni friend’s family used to own a men’s wear shop in Donegal - I remember visiting the area. It is truly stunning - not that remember much after the night out (the people were so friendly and happy to see you and generous with the whisky - hence my lack of memory).
We did a tour of Ireland the fall before the big C hit.
Probably our favourite trip ever. It was October and believe it or not the weather was glorious.
Love watching your Irish adventure X … An Ireland tour for 2024 is in early planning stages … We’ve been twice before but ever only stayed in cottages on the west coast for short breaks, this time and because of your videos our hearts and minds are drawn to a Van trip. My dad “god rest his soul” actually came from the North, and have many in our tree that emigrated to America 😊☘️❤️
Have an amazing time it’s bloody lovely
Ireland is stunning ☘️
You can go online and look up your individual stitches. It can make it less overwhelming.
Tony's cooking tip.
• take turnip and parsnip,
• scrape clean & dice,
• boil until soft,
• allow to cool,
• feed it to the dogs.
Love how you stay so positive and cheerful no matter what the weather!
❤ always a pleasure to enjoy your videos ladies. You two are a joy and I wish you always the safest and best travels.
Thank you 😃
I am so grateful for the content you two produce (or should I say the four of you / fur babies count!) I always find myself uplifted and just a little happier after sharing in your videos and banter. You are a joy! Best of luck in your new venture(S) - I look forward to future videos. Blessings as always for Colorado USA!
Thank you and glad the vlogs do that 🙂
The winter cake tour of Donegal 🎉
Wonderful, thanks Louise and Emily, AJ and summer. Breath taking views. Fingers crossed for your purchase. ❤ Jo in France 🇫🇷
Assaranca Waterfall (Eas a' Ranca) looks lovely
I've visited 2 times its stunning ❤
I love your term of phrase in regards to the red squirrels…. 10 a penny. Here in the US, we would say a dime a dozen.
Am loving your new adventure in Ireland 🇮🇪…. I miss it as have family there so have been a few times , they are in the North . Keep the vlogs coming as am living vicariously through the both of you … and the cakes 😁 xxx ❤
Keeping fingers crossed for your house purchase. So glad you’ve picked our beautiful country to come and live in.
Did you know!! That our post codes are unique for each house. NOT just the road or the area. Every single house had its own Post Code. So deliveries and post comes direct to the house - seeing as we don’t have house numbers in rural Ireland. Only maybe house names. Our is called Fairy Woods, as we have 5 acres of forest, where fairies live. 😊😊☘️☘️🐾.
Oh wow that’s crazy 😮 didn’t know that
@@campervibeyes the post code or eircode if you need to be precise, is brilliant in Ireland. I moved here 24 years ago and it was so frustrating to not have post codes, especially when ordering online etc. Finally we got them in 2015, but they were worth waiting for. They have been declared the best in the world as every house or apartment has its own postcode. They are also randomised to stop people wanting to be in certain eircodes for snob value. The first three digits designate the postal area, mostly done by county, but not necessarily so, then the remaining digits are an entirely random sequence of letters and numbers. Postal workers, delivery drivers and sat navs can now find any house. Mind you I used to say before eircodes, that Irish postmen/women were amazing and better than the CIA as they could find anyone anywhere regardless of how peculiar their address was…no house number, no street name, no village, just a town land, no problem! 😂
Take a nap, have a glass of wine, eat some nibbles, watch a Christmas movie.
Marmite is great in stew. So is soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, oxo's and a splash or two of sherry! (Everything is better with a splash or two of sherry!)
I've always claimed that the winter mud on my car acts as a protector from bird poo and other insults to my paint job!
I can't imagine that you need to wash the van, just let the rain clean it!
Have a good week ladies! I hope you hear all your surveys are good news. I will look forward to seeing you in the future!
I think it protects the car/van as well
You never went to Slieve League ( amazing hike to see biggest sea cliffs in Europe)or the cool little abandoned village called Port!!! You’d have really loved these
Hmm, Slieve Liag is spectacular BUT the highest seacliff in Europe is in Norway, the second highest is in the Faroes, the third highest is indeed in Ireland but it isn't Slieve Liag, it's Croaghaun on Achill Island in Country Mayo. 21:36
wow what a beautiful waterfall!!!!!!!!!!
2 minutes in and I can honestly tell straight away this is up to your usual high standard of cinematography... or whatever its called lol.
I LOVE your videos :)))))
🙂🙂🙂
I have a fb friend that lives in Donegal. He sends me pictures of his dog running on the beach and speaks of golf when he can dodge rain. Pretty cool!
I am just completing my build and will be hopefully starting my Complete tour of Ireland in early 2024
So, I now have another reason why I love this channel. Nobody else ever tells me to eat cheesecake and Toblerone when I'm on a health kick. 😋
Still keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 for you guys and your surveys / purchase of the snack shack, as I've already decided I'm going to refer to it 🤣
😂😂🧀🍰🍰🍰
Beautiful scenery no matter what the weather throws at you ❤
😊👍 How exciting, I can't wait to see your new home.🕊 Thank you for all your fantastic videos. Fun & relaxing.😁
Just love your videos, even with all the waffleing you to are so joyful. Even in the stess of buying at home you bring the joy.
Hey, Emily! Have you thought of get a stainless steel or aluminium 3 stack steamer for cooking, it's so useful, you just use one ring to cook, we steam all our veg, cook stuff in bottom like spuds and then like longer cooking veg in next tier then quickest in top their, so much better than standard. Just a tip. Enjoy your travels and new abode both. X
Looks like we need an Emily cooking show soon. That stew looks amazing.
You will have to put recipes in the comments chef. 😂😂😂
Nice looking stew, Lou had me cracking up with some of her facials - looking at Emily eat her cake in the van, seeing the steep steps sign and buying up the bakery ! Love how you two can have a great laugh considering all the selling / buying upheaval, you find some pretty cool waterfalls and park ups.
Loving this Irish thing, can't wait for you both to move. 💚
love me a bit of crochet, ive recently started crochet after having a go years ago. It's not too bad just watched loads of youtube tutorials to help me understand terms.
The Cat is starting it's winter coat. Hair drier for cold air to get red of summer fur
Well done ladies, this is great content! The positive, upbeat atmosphere and sense of fun in infectious. I hope the home buying works out easier than the selling did, you seem to be just the right kind of people to persevere and succeed with the renovation/development work!
Wow, beautiful scenery and bakery treats lol,🌿🍃🌹🍰
I know how stressful selling and buying can be. You're doing well by having a nice relaxing day just exploring. Thank you for taking us with you. Ireland is so much more beautiful than I could have imagined. Thank you for the history too. That's when my family emigrated from Ireland to the US.
Thank you, so glad you are enjoying seeing it with us 😃😃
It was great seeing you both stop
In Glenties my hometown. So glad ye like Ireland and welcome
You've done it again, another cracking vlog, this time around my favourite county Donegal. It's such a beautiful place.
Thanks for another fantastic video.
Superb editing of these vids, and I mean superb! This is better than watching TV! Cracking latest episode!
Donegal sligo and mayo are lovely
Congratulations on 96k subscribers 👏 👌🚐❤ xxxxxx
Think you 2 have just inspired our January trip, can't imagine how much Emily spent in that bakers😱Loved the door on the tree next to the squirrel feeder Cheers K.
🥳🥳🥳
Great video, beautiful scenery and plenty of snacks.😀
You achieve pro level cinematography and at the same time a homely feel to your video's. Amazing quality, engaging content and a direct honest engagement style. You two would be killer documentary makers, in truth, you already are. I've learned a bit second hand from my daughter who, having completed a BA in TV is doing a MA in film at Falmouth. Do you two realise how talented you are.
Thank you
Your Footage of the Red squirrels is absolutely Breathtaking could watch it for hours 😜😍.
Yes the views are just beyond Beautiful still the last of the Autumn colour’s in the Trees ,the stunning
Waterfalls .
I am for sure your going to have a fantastic new adventure with your New home with this gorgeous landscape
Around you.
Yum yum those tasty deserts your making me hungry Emily 😅😋
Have a Good week🥰,🤞🙏the next survey goes well ,not too many large issues come about
Take care safe travels 🥰
The autumn colours are something else for sure
I have parked up at that waterfall. Just beautiful. Great for a dip.
You two are so inspirational, living your dreams, making it happen. Me and mine in Japan looking for our dream home and a life in retirement. I envy that you have both found each other early and realised your path together. I didn't know how happy I would be watching two strangers on the other side of the planet being happy. All the best to you both 🥰
Sounds lovely
I’m Irish and live here but I’m actually envious of all the free time you guys have to experience our beautiful country. Btw great hats Louise.. never see you without one 😅😅
We are very lucky for sure
Ur videos always make me happy
Best of stew in the best of places. I know that waterfall ❤. Bless 🙏 beautiful 😻 will 🎉be amazing. Genuinely so happy for you finding some of the best of Ireland 💪👑🙏
Nothing soothes the heart like a bit (or a bunch) of green! Looks like a good time to visit? Who has the right away on a one lane road?
50/50
You do release that you have now just scratched that pain like mad and that will for ever be in the pain.
Beautiful tour 😍
Louise , your photography skills are brilliant. We all got a real treat this week seeing Emily driving and a bonus scene of her in her high chair again, 🤣😉 We both look forward to your adventures each week.
😂😂 I love my high chair 🤣
Nice to see you in Donegal my father's family are all from Letterkenny have fun on all the beaches they are lovely in the summer as well. Take care and stay safe xxPat
Hi Emily, good vid this week, Ireland’s never really been on our list but you’re gradually persuading us especially as my wife’s ancestors are from the south. We see that snacking has come to the fore this week - that’s fine by us! The little Irish towns and villages look really good. We’re both on standby for more exciting news. Stay safe girls, regards Reg.
Oh you guys should really come over here, the history is amazing you would love it
Just spent the night at that lovely waterfall last week, we had a cheeky skinny dip in the wee hours 😊
Lovely humans
Gorgeous backdrop with waterfall
Absolutely beautiful!
Looking forward to the weekly crocheting updates
😂🙈
Gosh its just beautiful there x i went to Ireland back in the late 90s. Would love to go back x
you certainly chose a lovely place to live, the waterfall parking was great!!!
Another great video girlz.
Cheers for giving me something positive to watch😊
Check out the Glens of Antrim, Giants Causeway.
This old lady loves, what I find to be so relaxing, your videos! Thanks so much.
Glen-tees. Softest accent in Ireland. Donegal is also easily my favourite county. It's never full, very few tourists make it there.
Just loving all these videos. I really want to explore Ireland now. I’m getting so many ideas from your videos of where to go and how to do it. Keep on exploring guys.
Glad we can give you some ideas 🙂🙂
The scenery looks amazing. Great park ups
Great video as always. At 2:51 I couldn't help thinking Emily looked like she was sitting in a kids high chair.........:)
Great vlog girls Emily is really in heaven with all the bakeries and snacks
