Bertha looking good very modernised It takes me back to being a child my parents had tourer when we were kids and my grandparents bought a static we have great memories and photos my mum told me my gran was looking after us to let them out and a storm hit my gran was trying to hold down the awning and me and my sister were jumping all over the caravan when they returned happy memories 😊

Thanks for the interesting video. My friend has 3 horses and she’s excellent at driving the horse box (her husband says she’s better than him!) and she’s also a dab hand with car and trailer. You’ll get there, as they say “practice makes perfect”! X

Hi Helen Thank you for your tale of towing the caravan. So funny lol.. I can understand bout the caravan being towed as I would be the same as you. Has Rob finished work yet ? All the best on your caravan venture xx

Love your “bletherings” and stories Helen - you’re fab and as I’ve said before you do make me giggle. Looking forward to hearing about Bertha’s adventures. Mary (Scottish Hel’s Belle living in France) 🤗👍😂

I hope you had a lovely holiday in Ireland with your mum and sisters. Looking forward to hearing all about it. Dee

We are nearly 60 and just got our first 2nd hand caravan. It’s very “brown” inside 😂 and these tips have been brilliant, thankyou

All looks fab, well done with the towing and sewing and keep tickling us all!

HB. Thanks, Helen, it rather looks as though you have fallen for Bertha in a big way! Enjoy your trips - I don’t envy you the reversing; not my strong point!

Oh my goodness, you are so talented being able to make those cushions and curtains! And all the lovely piping around the edge… I wish I Could be that creative😮

Thank you for sharing your caravan purchases!! It looks lovely!! Xx

Great vlog we love to caravan too, hope you have some fun times with your Bertha. A tip you may like is we use suction hooks from ikea on the outside of the caravan inside the awning great for damp coats hats etc also I hang my peg bag there. Your so brave to do the towing I don’t think I would ever have the nerve so well done you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😁

Hi Helen, I’ve really enjoyed watching you fit out Bertha 😊. Everything you have made looks amazing - I admire your skills. Wishing you and your family many happy caravan holidays ahead xx

Halo Helen. Très beau wkend avec Bertha, très cocooning, j' adore ! ❤❤❤

Hi Helen been following since near the beginning we live in Christchurch New Zealand and we are coming to the UK early September and we spend two days in portsmouth as my husband been before and I pla to go to Westquay mall looking forward to it!!! Then onto the Regal Princess BI cruise around uk 😊

❤❤❤

Thank you for this lovely video. In fact, I love all your videos 😍. You mentioned you had plantar fasciitis. Can you tell us how you got rid of it?. I'm suffering from it right now....... On going for nearly two years. It's sooooooo painful. Thanks Helen. Love from Cyprus

Love seeing how you have kitted out Bertha😊 Definitely think you’ll have one of the best setups on any of the sites you visit, especially love the personal touches 🫶Enjoy your adventures in Bertha 💕

Your 'cabin crew' remark tickled me too Helen - love your random thoughts 😂

Looking forward to seeing all your travels Helen. You should have named her Bertha Belle😁 x

Love the cushions and bunting along with your crafty ideas on the chopping board with tray.

We have a oyster knife ? But it’s great for opening pull tab cans

My husband went on the caravan clubs towing course including the dreaded reversing.he had much more confidence after that.we had a few school boy errors over the years so don’t panic

We have just got back from our holiday in Norfolk & Cambridgeshire in our caravan - called Peggy as she is a Bailey Pegasus! We have a motor mover - brilliant piece of kit. One of our tow mirrors fell off on the way home - screws must have been faulty as we had done them up 3 times. I looked out of the window & just couldn't get the window down quick enough to catch it. Crashed on the road & there was nowhere to stop, so had to complete the rest of the journey with just the off side mirror on. Thank goodness that Amazon are quick at delivery. We now have the caravan cleaning to do before putting all the washed bedding etc back in. Will you give up a look round the caravan please.

My cousin and her husband in Edinburgh have had their caravan for years. They go all over the UK and to France. They take bicycles and ride for miles . They seem to have a very nice time and have all kinds of nice stories. They rep in their mid 70’s . When we visit from the states it would be nice to try the idea of someone driving it for you. The past 2 summers we have come over and rented a narrow boat. Reminds me of a caravan. This year we are renting one in Wales.

Helen you are a tonic...I've laughed so hard....you really have the driest sense of humour. You will look amazing with your choices. Loving the long cardy and so glad it's going. That polkadot blouse is stunning and will be gorg with the white jeans or white pleated skirt. Where are you traveling to in Ireland?? You will totally enjoy....we're the best craic xx Mary C xx

Hello Lovely Helen, as an avid caravanner I'm loving your set up and pure joy in your van. Quick comment re your lovely rugs, rubber backing is not recommended for caravan floors as it can permanently discolour the vinyl (yellows it), hession backed rugs and mats are best. Just something to consider. Happy travels and adventures, you've opened up a whole exciting new world for yourselves. xxx

My mum did a towing course at the local agricultural college. Thought she would be towing a car and perhaps a horsebox, no it was a tractor and massive trailer. The guy said if you can do this you can do anything, learned to reverse etc. From then on she took over all the caravan driving.

Love that you’ve named the caravan Bertha😅😅❤. It’s all looking great Helen, this was a fun little video😊😊 xx

In the US, stealth boasting is called a “flex”. Like showing off by flexing your muscles.

When I picked up my trailer, I had never towed before. I was like a shark- I only go forward, for the next 1,500 miles to home!

Helen, you look radiant today.💕 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It’s all looking great Helen…….love your chatty videos! X

Bertha looks well set up Helen. I’m so pleased for you. I love the colour scheme you’ve gone for and how fab do the curtains look what a difference. You’ll soon get the hang of reversing. Just a few practices and you’ll be fine. Hope you are enjoying Ireland with your Mum. Hope your Mum is enjoying it. She’s probably loving being with her daughters. Thanks Helen take care

Fantastic updates . Love the upholstery. You could use your salad bowls as a cloche too 👏

Thanks for sharing. Your Bertha looks so pretty. This blooming weather I have brought so many summer clothes and wonder if I will get any use out of them. We had over 5 months of building work from May to October last year and every single day except one in October when it rained was warm and sunny. 🤪

I have been looking I much try Bon march

Nave and white dress is lovely on you

Hi Helen, that was fun. You are so talented with your tie backs, piped cushions, bunting, chopping board/tray etc. Glad your towing class was successful ….dont fancy the reversing though. Is Dolly a good traveller and will she be in the car or in Bertha? I love Dunelm and their sale is great but so annoying when you check out to find that items can’t always be delivered. Wishing you and your family happy travels.

Caravan has been “Helened”! Looks lovely and modern now x

Good luck for your 😅trip out with Bertha 😅.

Lovely video Helen , Always great to see what you are up to . Love all the things you have bought for Bertha ‘ It’s looking great, Take care xx

Re your white jeàns ,sew a motif over the rare,😂😂

Oh Helen you’ve done such a lovely job with the curtains & cushions and I loved your personalized chopping board & tray very nice. I use to be a home from home person when camping it all makes for an enjoyable time away from home when you have nice things around you. Have a feeling you maybe on your travels now really hope your all enjoying yourself. 🚍

Great job on Bertha she looks so much brighter. I’m sure you and your family will have lots of fun and adventures in her. I like caravans we had statics when I was growing up in Wales for years lots of happy memories with my grandparents. My hubby on the other hand hates them for some reason calls them sheds on wheels 😮 x

When i come to visit, ill be happy to sleep out in bertha. 😂love the decor ❤

When my boys were in their teens we had a caravan. My husband hated every towing moment. We took it to Spain and got stuck in a French aire lorry parking air. My 15 year old (at the time) took the steering wheel from the passenger seat and got us out no problem - otherwise we’d still be there now! I used to love Dunelm, in the early days. It’s still quite good, but agree with everything you said about online ordering.

Hi Helen , I think you are very brave learning to tow your van , no way would I have ever done that , we now have a Motor van , I won’t even drive that . Hope you enjoy it , have you joined the caravan club yet , some are very nice , we prefer the CL sites , not too many on those . Your van looks very cosy 👍. Enjoy .

The green dress brought out your blue eyes! Forgot to mention!❤

Helen! I also purchased the Greek Delight of a dress! Yours looks more white than mine. Mine is more cream, and it does have some fitting seaming about the waist, especially at the back. It is a great retro find of a frock! Classic! It is so lovely on you, as is the deep khaki green eyelet dress with embroidery detail. Lovely! Actually, all the dresses are keepers. The shirt at the beginning is fun, but would pair with different bottoms to bring lightness. Agree with you re: white. Fringed white top was styling! Think I also bought the all-white/cream version of the 12.99 top. It was featured in one of Melissa Murrell’s videos, and I had to have it. Agree that the value is there! Very glad that Hattie is healing up nicely. My three year old granddaughter got much less skinned knees around the same time, but hilariously still insists on wearing bandaids, even now. What goes through😂❤️🥰 the three year old mind.. She is a tiny fashion plate with definite opinions.

You had me giggling at Berthas bucket, my husband has a habit of using the nearest item he can find, regardless of where it’s from, it drives me nuts 🤣 🤣🤣
