Sometimes VANLIFE Doesn't Turn Out How You Expect 

Courage is not the absence of fear but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Nelson Mandela.

It’s exactly 4 weeks since I picked you up from Buckley after that awful trip back from France, you looked shattered and exhausted. Since then you have taken ownership of Gladys and got her roadworthy and with Andy’s help got the roof box and awning sorted. You spent several days with that lovely family from field view adventures and they looked after you and started the process of putting your life back together and I will always be grateful to them. The comments on here have been totally supportive from people who are more astute than you realise. Finally as you are a manc I am going to quote another manc and say don’t look back in anger, in fact don’t look back at all EVER. With what you have achieved in 4 weeks you can do anything. Xxxx love from mum and Lindsey xxxx

The main thing we all want is for you to be happy. That’s all that matters.

Awesome! Beautiful place! Wow the bus had seat belts! Never seen that before. The awnings make such a difference to living space. Such beautiful drone footage. Keep shining lovely😊

Nice one kidda keep yer chin up 💟☮️💯🐾

Every time you step in to fear , you step into your true self, yes nature heals , it's the most powerful healer and what a stunning place to enjoy nature at its finest. Your able to take steps into what ever direction you choose, manifesting is real and its very much your choice now. Allowing yourself time to feel more relaxed and enjoy yourself. It's your ability to want change that will keep pushing you out of your comfort zone, like you said listen to your needs, wants and follow your heart. It also has its own voice much louder than you minds.

You are doing okay, keep on doing what you are doing. You will overcome any fears. You are doing things right, you are in a safe place which is vital and have lots of things to do to keep your mind occupied while alone xx

Time is the healer, flower. Had two long "do's" in my 70 years. It sorts its self out. We all "make our bed", eventually.

The fact that you are terrified and still doing things makes you very brave. You should be proud of youself and it takes courage to leave a long term relationship. Please give yourself credit.

You are stronger than you know lovely. ❤

Nice, honest video. Keep going, you're doing well.

Found your channel while you were with field view adventures i absolutely love your channel & your fur babies ❤❤. Please don't apologise for sharing your down times its all part of the process of getting through to the place you wanna be in your emotions & life . Sending hugs & ❤❤❤

SKINNYDIPPING 😂 There’s a suggestion lol 😂.. Loving the content suz you really are rocking it ❤️😍 we love you to bits xx

Been there got the T-shirt and 14 years later married to a wonderful man and happy. It does get better with time x

Suzy, love your drone footage really beautiful. Your hidden strength and bravery is beginning to show.. love watching your videos. It doesn't matter if you cry, please dont bottle it up xx

Hey girl! There’s a saying that I always go by. “There has to be breakdowns to manifest the breakthroughs”. The universe works mysteriously and always trust that it will deliver whatever you ask for. You are doing amazingly. Proud of you my lovely 💯✔️💯😘 xxx

You are doing great and your doing what you like doing happy days 😀😀

Hello Suzy, you appeared a lot more lonely before, than you do now. You are now talking freely and it is obviously making your life make a lot more sense. I do think you are very brave, after driving so far and staying alone overnight…& the Kelpies were amazing, especially at night (thank you)!. I doubt you could have done it without Doug & Daisy…of course you couldn’t ☺️. We had a motorhome & did the NC500 twice with our old lab Ted. We sold the motorhome as it just didn’t work with Ted…big old (almost 13) very smelly lab!. We love Scotland & will still travel with Ted…good luck with everything xx

Nice to see you happy and getting on with things it will take time but you seem to be ok glad you like the site and the job just take one day at a time your little babies are good company so they will keep your mind of things its a beautiful site you are at love the walk you did

Wow what an amazing place just stunning, i think this place is going to be good for you, time to relax inbetween work and unwind away all the stress, one day at a time lovely no rush it takes time to adapt, nothing worse than staying in a relationship that isnt going any where xx ❤ me and john can both speak from personal experience. 😊😊

Looks like a beautiful place to visit,relax & repair yourself. Sending you virtual hugs 🤗 & wishing you the very best, you've got this girl, you are an amazing person 💗 we're all here ❣️ always good to see you smile 😊 awesome vlog as always 👌🏼❤🌹

You are a strong independent woman you can do anything. You have your mum and family and friends so you are never alone, 2 dogs . Yes it's all change but you can do it no more tears, enjoy Scotland and make the most of your free time. You are doing well😊👍

I love your honesty! You are brave and every time you do something that pushes you out of your comfort zone you will feel amazing. You’re getting there more with every day. We all love you xx

Hi Suzy, you are doing really well. You might think this is a strange thing to say but you look great and a lot less stressed 👌 Well done for eating out on your own, funny I found that a really difficult thing to do heaven knows why. But so chuffed that I did it and just thought of it as another hurdle completed ❤❤❤

I go out and eat out on my own . My husband has trouble getting about . You will get used to it. Take care and stay safe xx ❤

Nice to see you Susan. Love following your journey. Big hugs girl, well done. The scenery is stunning. The doggies were great to watch running along the beach. Happy badgers... For your shopping trips get yourself a small trolley to carry the doggy food etc. 😅❤xx

Could see things were changing when you were in benidorm . Hope you made the right decision for the right reasons. Be happy no matter what you choose xx

you are doing great,well done you, small steps

Great vlog suzy thanks we are amazed how well you are getting on keep it up ❤Chris/ Jan

You can throw that solar panel away, there’s no sun way up there 😄😄 Uber jealous of your campsite posting, one of our favourites hands down!! Enjoy it, explore the area as it’s just amazing 😍

Hi Suzy hope you’re settling into your new job! Absolutely love it there and sure you will too - will be looking forward to see some wild camping 💕💕

Well done organising your outdoor living area xx

Just found your ste love it 😊 you are very brave and a very lovely young woman, you go girl give yourself a pat on the back 😊xx ps your good on the drone😊

The hardest thing in the world is going out of your comfort zone, It held me back for more years than I like to admit, but I finally made it, as will you. 4 years ago, I could barely leave my house now. I've started a RU-vid channel and am travelling around 💪🏻

Loving your videos What a lovely person Id deffo have a cuppa with you!

Right from the very start Sthampton and before loved the two of you No frills always honest! So don't care what you vlog Suz as long as your on the tube love! Glad your happy there looks absolutely beautiful! Another great edit! Superb filming love! Even got the Mrs watching the tube now and she is loving your vids! As always Sweetheart lots of love❤❤ xx

Love ya ……. You’re doing so well. Love watching your vlogs ….start of great adventures ….. hug the doggies for me …..👍👍

Keep going Suzi you are climbing mountains every day and doing amazing xx

I can empathise with eating out in your own. It's a terrible feeling - a lot of people cannot understand it, now you've done it once it will get better believe me. You have a perfect setting there to heal - you'll have good & bad days but it will get better x

Hi susie you are doing so well love watching your videos stay strong we are all with you xx ros ❤

Great vlog suz glad you settling in with your new job looks lovely . Matt has convinced me to go to scotland so definitely be coming to see you soon ❤ xxx

You’re brave, dude. You’ve done so much in such a short time. You’re not faking it if you’re making it 😊 It looks like the best place to do some soul searching and heal. Aww potato dog didn’t want to eat his own kind. 😂😂 Loves you oods xxxx

Your doing great, you have an amazing smile let’s see more of it 👍🏻

Wow, thanks for sharing your first few days on the new job! 🤩 Sounds like a whirlwind of emotions and you're settling in nicely despite some challenges! You're so brave for going to the cafe by yourself 👏! It's also cool you're so close to so much nature ⛰ I get what you mean about the tiny VW being an adjustment...but cozy! 🚐 Those doggies are sure lucky to have you! 💕 I'm glad you're listening to your body and taking some well-deserved rest! 😌 Sending good vibes for your next few days on the job!

Another good video stunning area to work and live, your awning is taking shape don’t buy to much stuff it will never fit in the van when you move on.

Great Video, always enjoy your videos, keep doing what you are doing, would be nice for you and your fur babies to go somewhere warmer in the winter though. Look forward to seeing your next vlog. ❤❤❤ xxx

I love Aviemore, and highland cows, the resort shopping centre has some really cool stuff, but expensive, though in October when I visited I got some great boots reduced in their sale to just £20, which were an absolute bargain so might be worth a look around there from time to time. Take care of yourself and just enjoy the new location xx

Gosh what a lovely place you have found yourself at, absolutely stunning, if we came there with our dog I wouldn't be able to get him out of all that water. Yip we love our awning it's a brilliant place to sit gives you so much room. Well done on going in these places for food on your own I've never done it either. Loving your vlogs Suzy so relaxing to watch, good on you girl. X

Looking like yr normal self abit na Suzy,awning looks lovely be nice to sit in when weather picks up,another great vlog ❤ x

Hi. It’s really nice to see you settling and working at Glenmore. I like the sound of the things you said you are going to do. E.g swim 🏊 and kayak. I would love to see the Cairngorm reindeer but I’m not sure how easy that is with dogs 🙂

First couple days in a new job are always the hardest! You’ve done well 😊 you look a lot happier now.. def heading in the right direction

Trying to sort things do you hear from your husband at all I think your doing so good new job, new area making new friends speak soon Kim xxx

Hi Suzy, how are you going to cope with the midges as I guess it’s bad there by the loch ? We hope to one day pop up to see you. Look forward to watching your vlogs and your doing marvellous and yes you are extremely brave. Xx

You no what I have just subscribed cos your doing great and love your videos, well done girl xx

Great video Suz, well done. You might want to reconsider thinking of staying at Glenmore for the winter. Nearly 50 years ago I worked for the local ski school at weekends. They regularly drove the school minibus across the loch on the ice, so that lets you know just how cold it can get😂

Glad you’ve settled in, hope you enjoy the new job. What do you do with the doggies while you’re at work?

Hi Suzy, hope you ok, glad you enjoyed you 1st day at work, I love the fact you can go home for dinner and see the dogs to, you look more up beat! on wards and upwards, enjoy you couple of days off, your doin a great job, look after yourself, thank you for sharing stay safe ❤❤❤

Just see you being happy. X

You are brave. New home, new job (miles from home), single for the 1st time. It’s been a hell of a month!! Interesting what you say about manifesting what you want. You said to ask questions so I’ll ask how long were you unhappy before being brave enough to go alone? To be honest those views In Scotland will help to heal you ❤

You should stay there over winter and learn to ski or snowboard.

Great to see you settling suz 👏if I can convince Claire to go to Scotland we will be up to see you Xx

I know it’s not exciting for you but I’m excited to see how you get on.! Think you are very brave and it’s a good choice to try to continue with van life. Been on your own can be difficult but once you adjust it can be great. The down side I think is not having anyone to share the good times with. Your doing great girl so keep your chin up and keep going. Not been to Aviemore since school….. 40 years ago 🙈 always wanted to go back. We used to stay at a hotel in a place called Newtonmore I think it was. X

Oooh you are brave lovely!! Certainly fearless cos you’re scared but you don’t let that stop you doing stuff anyway. You’re becoming one of my favourite RU-vidrs to watch….keep on swimming just saw you went in the loch 😂

Get yourself some appropriate outdoor gear in the sale and take the winter job offer … You’d be mad to leave … X

Lovely vlog Suz, did you sort the over heating with Gladys? Keep doing what your doing and it will all fall into place 👌👌 well done for getting in the café, it certainly looks a beautiful area too , but most importantly thank you for your honesty, take lots of care, love Tony and Cas xx

Now your on hook up get a little induction hop cheap as chips. Great vlog. is your site name going to change now its just you and the pooches?

Your doing great lass 😊

Hiya Suzy, Looking a lot more like yourself hun. We have been looking at Glenmore on their website, and it looks absolutely lovely. See you on your next vlog ❤

Thanks

Hi Suzy, keep those big smiles coming. Just seeing around where you are looks amazing. That lough looks beautiful, will you get any midges there ?? We done the nc500 but did it between Sept and November. So stay safe, your doing good xx

Hi suz just keep doing what you are doing you will get there just takes time and yes i think you being there is good for you my daughter always says walking in nature is very good for you 😂roy x

You are doing amazing 😊 don't beat yourself up over a down day ❤❤

Hello good Evening Great Video Smashed the like 👍

Hi Suzy! Maybe find the places where the show Outlander was filmed at!

Just seeing you happy and enjoying life

What will you do about leaving your dogs in the van when summer comes while you are working?

Buy an ultrasonic rodent repeller. Work a treat. 👍

Hey lovely great video we love the loch so pretty isn’t it ❤ well done getting your brave pants on 🥰 eating on your own very courageous and I take my hat off to you, it’s certainly not easy what your doing. Don’t be hard on yourself take it a day at a time and before you know it, things will become second nature to you 🥰 big hugs to you and the doggies 🥰😘 xxx

Thanks
