Hi I'm Sue from Lancashire, UK - I’m vlogging solo travels in my converted VW T6.1 Transporter, ‘Vanya’, re-engaging with life after losing my husband suddenly in 2019. The world changed forever in an instant & working through my grief has been the most disorientating, painful & lonely challenge imaginable and at times I couldn’t see a future. Now though, by returning to the vanlife we enjoyed so much together, revisiting a love of photography & reconnecting with nature, I'm taking steps to move forward through this completely unforeseen next chapter of life

Whatever the content of each video this channel is my way of learning to push through grief and re-engage with life.

I'll also share hints, tips, info & anything else I think you might find useful.

Please subscribe & join me on road trips in my little van x

Hello 🖐 just letting you know that I'll be posting the video of the prize draw for the TopTes gas leak detector giveaway tonight at 5pm. The winner is generated using a random winner generator tool.
Also, the house move is proceeding painfully slowly but in the right direction and is all-consuming hence reduced van activity. Still, all is well and new adventures will await me and Vanya soon enough.
Take care and happy travels.
ONWARD!
Sue

Hi 🖐
With so many favourites, picking only 5 for a video I was asked to make wasn't the easiest thing to do!

Hi 🖐

Two years on from the first channel trailer, I thought it time to update it to show many adventures covered in the van and huge distance travelled on this personal journey.

As always, thanks for watching.

ONWARD!

Hi, in a break from cardboard boxes I’ve been getting some editing in. Leaving Bibury for
Bourton on the Water is the next vlog. Felt good to re-live it, especially at this moment in time 🤪🚐
Thanks for all the Questions for the Q&A so far too, it’s been quite a response! 👍🏻 x

Hi 👋 I’ve just put out a Q&A invite in the form of a short video on the channel because it’s good timing in the middle of my current house move situation. Please let me know in the video comments if there’s anything you’d like answering.
Cheers, Sue x

The first thing I watched this morning (twice) and a perfect start to the day was this offering from ‪@hedleywrightphotography‬ The allure of Scotland captured in these fabulous watercolours. Had to share ... https://youtu.be/QqI5Sukz0J0

Hi 👋 the next Cotswolds vlog is out TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY) 5:30PM and it’s a very chilled off grid one from a breathtaking Bibury. Hope you enjoy it because I loved editing this one!

Hi guys 🖐 I'm finally back with the next Cotswolds vlog this SUNDAY 5:30PM. After a bike puncture last time, have a guess what happens during this week's episode (never a dull moment, but it't all good fun).
See you tomorrow?
ONWARD!

Hi 👋 a quick channel update because I’ve received some lovely messages checking up on me.
I can assure people I am absolutely fine thank you. It’s really heartwarming to know people care so much! 🥰.
My absence from YouTube is only temporary and down to a drawn out issue with ‪@currys‬ Repair Centre who have frankly been a vague, uncommunicative nightmare and STILL say they don’t have the part they need when I checked today.
Having lost all confidence I’ve requested the laptop be returned. A month wasted but hey ho, either a local shop will be able to fix or advise I replace it.

SO … the Cotswold vlogs will be out as soon as I can get editing again. I’m missing the whole process and interactions that they bring.
Thanks for your ongoing patience.
Safe & happy travels wherever they’re taking you.
ONWARD!>>> 🚐

Hi 👋 just checking in.
Sorry for the ongoing vlog delays.
Now 16 days in the workshop and it turns out that the computer issue is bigger than originally thought (usually the case eh!).
Being an “up to the moment” channel unfortunately this kind of event is always a risk, but I’m still excited about bringing the Cotswold vlogs to you as soon as I can.
Thanks for your patience and ongoing support.
This was my response to news of the delay this morning, but it is what it is and I’ve dealt with far worse challenges than a broken laptop!! ❤️
Be back soon.
ONWARD!
