I live in Keswick, in the very beautiful Lake District. Adventures in 'Vanabelle', our Wildax motorhome (mostly in stories & highlights!)

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Rainy van days don’t mean wasted days. ☔🚐

We woke up to rain tapping on Vinny, grey skies over the lake and no real plan....but that’s the beauty of vanlife.

So it was coffee on, with Milo waiting patiently 🐾☕

My first paddleboard for 2026, because why not! 🫶

A lovely lakeside walk and catch up with friends once the clouds lifted. 🥰

And eventually…Lake District sunshine doing what it does best ☀️

Some days are moody.

Some days surprise you.

Most days are better when you slow down and let them unfold.

This is why we love life on the road, rain, shine and everything in between. ☔☀️🚐

👉 Do you wait out the weather… or head out anyway?

Love this photo 💛
The simplicity of the light kitchen, with our
honey whistling kettle picking up the yellow of the bananas hanging in the net.
Notice the two mugs too (one @enamelhappy retro floral pink and one white with the red heart) in the bottom right corner!

Thank you so much for the tag @k.mountford8 😍

Keep tagging me in your pics - I’m running a little competition through August - I’ll get you to help me pick a winner and they win a choice of enamelhappy goodies 😁

Better late than never! 🙊
Here are some of my favourite customer photos from June (swipe to see them properly) - I’m going to get my family to help me choose the final 6 over the next day or so and I’ll pop those on my stories soon so you can help me choose a winner🥇

Thank you so much for continuing support me and tagging me in your wonderful pics - sorry that I didn’t share as many as normal last month as I took a little impromptu socials break towards the end (sometimes we just have to listen to our body’s don’t we)

Welcome back landscape lovers, @cirrus_skies here once more with today's tremendous feature from @k.mountford8
.
There's something incredibly tranquil about this image, just soft light and loveliness, and of course sheep! And what's a Lakeland shot if it doesn't have sheep in it?
.
Have you visited the Lakes yet? Which is your favourite part?
