STORM NELSON teaches us a lesson - VANLIFE UK
Join us, Carol & Ken, as we take a trip to the New Forest in our Consort Nova Motorhome called Snoopy.
In this video, with a storm closing in we have to leave our park up to get out of the winds. The forest is so wet and, with roads partially flooded, we head to an open area we know to park safely. A blown fuse changes our plans and we have to move on again.
Back at the coast, a walk nearly ends in disaster as Ken takes a tumble. A comforting meal is called for to end the day!
The next day is Good Friday so traffic causes mayhem at our park up. We take a walk along the shingle spit to explore Hurst Castle and finish the day with one of Ken’s favourite meals.

Your my go to RUclips channel at the moment i can't stop watching the older one's and some of the newer videos. Also there's all my relatives and friends from dialysis started watching you and my parents too. My Mother and Dad are the similar age to you both and I've told them for years to buy a little campervan like yours maybe a little bigger. So by watching you two its looking like they're finally getting one fingers crossed. All the best be safe.

Loved your stick blender idea, I have an older Moulinex one (even came with bracket to hang vertically - must find where it is) I got in Shropshire a few years ago. Can be used for so many, many things and firing moisture all around the place & over yourselves too!! Can also wizz up raw eggs for omelettes/tortillas, whip cream. etc.etc. Just remember to keep the angle & position correct!, not sure Carol would like an egg shampoo. Weather here too has been cool, overcast and damp around 7C daily, no gardening or lawns. The weather and situations you are now experiencing, must find you so chuffed with the Nova, go anywhere in any weather. Take care & stay safe. Kia Ora from New Zealand. 💜💜
