    Hi! That was me on the bike. Thanks so much for being there and helping! Was so nice of you to stop. Lovely to meet you guys and hearing about your van adventures, it helped take my mind off the accident. Really love your videos, you guys are really talented. Also beautiful sunset pics! Hope you continue to have an amazing time exploring Dorset! 🚐🌅♥️

    December 23, 2022: You and Liam were there for a reason to be the kind people you are with the girl. So glad to hear the girl is okay. Although your day has been interrupted you still keep all in perspective. Your travels remind us also that our days are not predictable and if a detour is done pray that all is well. Yikes to have to use the facilities that are there but only for a few is frustrating I can imagine. Safe journey’s and thank you for the excellent videoing that you do Janine.

    Awww you guys…. We’ve now watched all of your videos and now having withdrawals! Next Sunday seems so far away 😯. Cannot tell you how much we have enjoyed your work. We even went to Bakewell on Sunday to try a pudding 😋 and have had two “banging” curry’s.
    Also, you have inspired us to take the plunge, we are not ready for 100% plant based, but no meat or fish (we didn’t eat much anyway) minimal dairy, we’re on our way.
    Just wanted you to know this so on those days when it’s not going right or you don’t feel like picking up the camera, you efforts and openness are appreciated and you make more of a difference than you probably realise.
    Stay safe and don’t change 👌🏻

    hey .. I loved this one, I recognise everywhere you showed us as I live here in Bournemouth, there are loos on the far side of the ferry crossing, but I've never known the ferrymen to not allow you to use the loos on there 🤔
    if you come this way again, I'm sure you'd enjoy continuing on and going into corfe where there's a castle ruin, and then on to Swanage, there's a cute town with quirky shops, and pubs, and chip shops and other eating stops, it's popular with bikers to park up by the pier,
    local van lifers gather from time to time in Swanage, but they park away from car parks so there's no time restrictions or costs.
    I'll look out for your green machine if you're ever coming back.

    You were parked at the end of my road for those couple of nights (that area is called Southbourne btw). Plant Hustlers is awesome. We've got loads of good vegan restaurants around here.
    Sandbanks is the more expensive area in the UK so that's why the parking was so much. Well done for helping that girl.
    Oh and the first beach you couldn't find a parking spot for after the ferry is Studland nudist beach!

    Great van life adventures in Dorset video Liam & Janine. The weather is looking good 👍. Sorry to hear about the family situation and it's good that both Liam and Janine are there to support them. It is unfortunate about the cafe but it's good if they have started a conversation with the chef and hopefully more tourists go and ask to increase the demand ( the more people asking the more likely they are going to introduce vegan options). The food at the other cafe is awesome 👌 Love 🥰this video and love 💕Liam & Janine.

    • @ThoseHappyDays
      @ThoseHappyDays  3 роки тому +1

      You are right, even if we don't eat at a cafe we always ask about their vegan options. If they then reply with not having any, we have the conversation about it being the fastest growing lifestyle movement, and that they will undoubtedly be having tons of vegans visit who will be put off by the lack of options 🙏
