View from the kitchen 🤩

After a busy and wet May, we’re loving the glorious sunshine right now!

Bring on the river swims, chilling in the hammock and getting to enjoy views like this with the door open!

Maddie showing off her new collar and lead from .doggear !

Made from repurposed climbing ropes, built to withstand the adventures this little one gets up to! Check out Dyno Dog Gear on Instagram and Etsy!

Off for a walk for Maddie to strut her stuff now 😆 at least she’s not going to break free from this collar! (Yes, she managed to break the clasp on her old puppy collar - small but mighty pup!)

So nice to have some sun ☀️
Starting to feel like spring is on the way!

Here’s to another year of crazy challenges and adventures!

It’s a far from normal lifestyle, living on the road in a very compact space! But there’s no one else I’d rather share all the fun times and adventures with than you - my travel buddy, my best friend, my soul mate 😘

I’m glad I’ve got you to share my life with, and I’m looking forward to the road ahead (and all the other crazy ventures that await)

All my love to you, not just today, but every day xx ♥️

Well it’s absolutely freezing outside but the insulation and heater are doing a fine job of keeping us nice and cosy in the van 😎

No snow on Portland and slightly jealous seeing everyone’s great snowy pictures 😆

Who’s been out playing in the snow?

Hope all the vanlifers are managing to stay safe and warm 👊

Amazing sunset last night.

Stay tuned for the vlog to see the time-lapse 👍

In the meantime, VLog 2 from our Lockdown series is up and live on YouTube 😃

05/02/2021

It might still be pretty cold in the UK, but couldn’t miss an opportunity to test out the new hammock chair in the sunshine ☀️
So nice to be able to finally have the door open for awhile!

Anybody else managed to enjoy at bit of sunshine today?

Another day of lockdown in the van done 🗓✅
Another day closer to being able to travel freely again 🚐

Where’s everyone heading when we can travel again?

01/02/2021

It’s been a while since we’ve put out a ‘normal’ van life VLog - our van build mini series has come to an end, and it’s time to start a new chapter in our life on the road 🚐

Some aspects of vanlife in lockdown are the same, the biggest difference being we can’t roam around and travel where we would like!

Episode 1 of the new ‘Lockdown Series’ is ready for you to watch - check it out if you’ve got a bit of spare time ....... 😉

01/02/2021

We are back making vlogs about our life on the road (van life in lockdown for the next few weeks really!)
Check out our first Vlog of Season 2 to find where we are, and to meet the new little nomad!

Is there anything better than lazy mornings snuggled up in bed with the sun streaming in, savouring a great view?

Living full time in a van has many challenges but moments like this make it so worthwhile 🥰

Small snippet from yesterday’s evening stroll 🚶🏻‍♀️

Always nice and soothing to look out at the sea 🌊 🧘🏻‍♂️

Vanlife coffee 🚐☕️

Freshly ground beans + aeropress + sunshine + great view = 🥰

18/01/2021

Anyone else finding this the hardest lockdown so far?
With so much uncertainty and all of our plans up in the air we are just trying to take each day as it comes and look for the small positives. This may not have been where we wanted to spend the winter, but until we are allowed to travel again there are worse places to be!

Portland putting on a show this evening with some stunning golden light 🤩

Taking the opportunity to explore more of Portland as we’ve got a few weeks here!

Dodging the rain and winds here for the past couple of weeks! Finally gotten out for a bit of climbing, running and plenty of walks for little Maddie 🥰 exploring the sometimes weird and wonderful things here!

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year, here’s to a good (better) year for 2021!

Welcome to the newest member of the Nomads family! Maddie has been with us for a few days now, a tiny bundle of fluff who’s irresistibly cute 🥰

Crag dog training has already begun, preparing for a life of hanging out at the boulders and rock faces 🧗‍♂️ as well as getting in some mini leg stretches 🏃‍♀️🐕

Welcome home Maddie x 💖
