The Groovy Life
Vanlifers United Festival 2025 | what we really thought.. 🤔
updated
For the past few weeks, I’d been quietly checking on Jessie each morning, knowing the moment was getting closer but never quite sure when it would happen. Waking up to this new life felt incredibly special and was the perfect reminder of the beauty of spring and new beginnings.
In the middle of a busy and sometimes overwhelming season, witnessing this moment of new life really put things into perspective and gently slowed everything down. It’s one of those experiences that makes you pause and appreciate the simple things.
Thank you for being here and sharing this special moment with us. 💛
Stay groovy,
Harley ✌️

This is my third winter living in a van in the UK ..and this one stretched me more than I expected.
Between relentless storms, cabin fever, mechanical setbacks, and the pressure to “reset” in January, I found myself feeling stuck and overwhelmed.
In this video I talk honestly about:
• Winter van life in the UK
• Cabin fever and seasonal motivation
• Storms and mechanical issues
• January productivity pressure
• Learning to work with the seasons instead of against them
If you’ve been feeling less motivated, less productive, or just a bit “off” this winter..you’re not behind. You’re human.
Spring is coming 🌤️

In this video, I contacted the local council to get clear answers about van life waste in the UK.
There is so much confusion online about where van lifers are supposed to put general household rubbish, compost toilet waste, and cassette toilet waste. Instead of guessing or relying on forums, I went straight to the source and asked Environmental Health directly.
This video shares exactly what the council told me regarding:
• General household waste while travelling in a campervan
• Composting and bag and bin toilet systems
• Cassette toilets without chemicals
• What happens to waste from large public bins
Please remember always check the guidance for the specific council or district you are travelling in.
If you found this helpful, make sure you are subscribed, because I will continue researching and sharing accurate information for van life in the UK.
Thank you so much for your support. Stay groovy 💛

We’re in that in-between phase right now. Still living in the van, slowly building out the bus, and trying to get real work done along the way. The bus doesn’t have solar yet, so power is something we’re having to think about properly, and right now, power banks are what’s getting us through.
In this video, we’re sharing how we’ve been using the VTOMAN Jump 2200 power station in real everyday van life and during our bus build. This isn’t a polished studio review, it’s real-world use. Power tools, editing, cooking, winter struggles, and everything in between.
VTOMAN kindly sent us this power bank to test and review, and as always, this video is based on our honest experience using it in our actual setup. What works, what doesn’t, and whether it makes sense for people in a similar situation to us.
If you’re living off-grid, mid-build, or relying on power banks while solar isn’t an option, hopefully this gives you a realistic look at what this unit can (and can’t) do.

So instead of guessing or relying on forums, I decided to ring the council and try to get some clarity directly.
This video is not legal advice. It is simply my real experience of trying to get answers, what happened during the call, and where things stand right now.
Alongside that, this is a slow January van life vlog. Fixing leaks, rainy days, making jewellery for the shop, walking the dogs, and finding my feet again after the new year.
January can come with a lot of pressure to have everything figured out. This is your reminder that if you feel behind or late starting, you are not. You are allowed to take time to realign, breathe, and move at your own pace.
I emailed the council and I am still waiting on a response. As soon as I get clear answers in writing, I will make a dedicated follow-up video.
Thank you so much for supporting us and being part of the Groovy Gang. It never goes unnoticed.
Stay groovy 🌻

No big move day moments this time — just everyday van life.
Leaks being fixed, muddy paws, laundry everywhere, winter weather, dogs causing chaos… and how we’re managing power now that we’re living out here.
This is what real field life actually looks like in winter.
We’re slowly settling into our new routine, learning as we go, and figuring out what works (and what definitely doesn’t). It’s not perfect, but it feels right.
Thank you so much for supporting us and following along on this journey — it honestly means more than you know 💛

We’ve only just moved in, but honestly everything already feels so different already. The peace, the quiet, the chaos, the calm… and yes, the wind and the mud have entered the chat. 😅
In this vlog you’ll see our first mornings out here, meeting our new neighbours (the horses), sorting our new shipping container lock-up, getting the van clean again, putting up the Christmas decorations, and the real truth of being exposed to the elements.

After saying goodbye to Fence Life, today we’re taking you with us on Move Day as we drive into our new pitch — a huge open field that already feels like the start of something completely different.
This move has been emotional, exciting, overwhelming and peaceful all at the same time.
From arriving at the field for the first time to setting up the van in our new spot, this is the official beginning of our Field Freedom Era. 💛✨

We wanted to share this moment properly because Fence Life wasn’t just a location. It was a whole season for us. A season of waiting, learning, breaking down (literally), growing, surviving and trusting God even when it didn’t make sense.
Leaving it behind is emotional, surreal and honestly… one of the biggest steps of our journey so far.
This video explains why Fence Life lasted so long, what it meant, why we stayed, and why the move to the field is such a huge turning point for us.
The next video will be the full move vlog where you’ll see everything — the drive, the emotions, the first steps onto the field and the official start of our new chapter.
If you’ve been here through the breakdowns, the chaos, the waiting and the “will they ever get out of there?” era… thank you. Truly.
And if you’re new — welcome to The Groovy Life. This is the moment the story gets good.

But with Dad fixing leaks, Adam trying to get Hope running, Willow being Willow and a surprise RAC rescue… we made it through. Just another week of real van life. Nothing glamorous, just the truth behind the freedom.
If you're living in a van or thinking about it, this is what it really looks like behind the scenes. Not the sunsets. The actual bits.
Thanks for being here and sticking with me through the chaos.

Everyone online loves to show the dreamy side of van life… but winter van life? That’s a whole different story. Today I’m breaking down exactly how much it costs to live in a van in the UK during winter — the REAL numbers, the spicy bits, and the things nobody tells you until you’re freezing in a field with a diesel heater blasting. 🥶🔥
If you’re thinking about moving into a van (or you already live in one!), this is the honest breakdown I wish I’d seen before I moved into Hope 2 years ago. Winter hits different — from diesel heater spends, food, campsites, power, gas bottles, laundry, extra coffees… it all adds up.
But van life is still the biggest blessing, and I wouldn’t trade it. ✨
Let’s get into the full winter van life cost breakdown so you can be prepared (and not caught out like I was!).
Stay Groovy 💛

This is why we STILL use campsites, even after two years on the road.
Sometimes you just need a reset, a hot shower, and a plug-in to feel human again. 🧡

UK winters absolutely destroy your solar, your water disappears faster than your sanity, your laundry becomes a full-time job, and your toilet? Let’s not even go there.
In this video I’m sharing every real reason full-time vanlifers STILL need campsites, especially in the UK winter. No fantasy, no Instagram fluff — just what it actually takes to keep life rolling when you live in a vehicle.
Chapters:
00:00 Intro
00:20 Water
01:14 Laundry
02:27 Power
03:22 Toilets
04:08 Safety & Peace of Mind
05:10 Spring & Summer Freedom
05:34 The truth: Nobody is fully off-grid
06:14 Final thoughts
If you ever feel like you’re “failing vanlife” — you’re not.
You’re just living the version nobody puts on their highlight reel.

I took you along for a night on a campsite where we recharged (literally), took Willow for walks, battled the weather, and enjoyed some actual warmth for once. 🔥
I also tested out the AsperX 165W power bank they kindly sent over — perfect timing, because I forgot my microphone today like the absolute pro I am 😅 So I wanted to show you how I actually use this little power bank on filming + busking days.

Today’s vlog is a special one — we got to meet two of our amazing subscribers, Greg and Liz, who were saying goodbye to their beloved Talbot Express Harmony after 11 years on the road. ❤️
Honestly, this kind of generosity is what makes the van life community so incredible.
It’s not just about travel… it’s about people helping people, kindness on the road, and connections that remind us why we do this.
We left inspired, grateful, and totally blown away by their hearts.
Stick around for some laughs, a few wholesome moments, and a reminder that community is everything. 🙌

In today’s episode of The Groovy Life, we hit a true vanlife reality — no solar power in UK winter! Our batteries ran low, the sun disappeared, and we had to plug in for the first time in ages. In this vlog, we share what it’s like living off-grid in winter and why sometimes even the best van setups need a little campsite backup.
If you love honest vanlife stories, this one’s for you — real, raw, and full of the everyday moments that make the lifestyle what it is. 🌿

Armed with a bag, and a bit of curiosity, we set off to collect sea glass, driftwood, and anything the waves decided to gift us.
There’s something peaceful about beachcombing after a storm — that reminder that beauty can come from chaos. 💚
Stick around to see what we found, how it connects to our van life journey, and why these small moments keep us grounded on the road.
✨ Thanks for watching, supporting, and keeping the good vibes rolling. Stay groovy, friends. 💛

This vlog almost never made it to YouTube — it’s a mix of old clips, lost moments, and some of the sweetest memories 🌞
It’s easy to forget how far we’ve come until you look back, and honestly, I’m so grateful for every small moment that makes this journey what it is. From busking on the road to everyday van life, this one’s full of heart (and a few laughs too). These clips remind me how much life happens in between the big moments. God’s been in every one of them. 💛

Hey what's Groovy?
In this vlog, I’m sharing a little behind-the-scenes of what’s been happening lately — both with our van life journey and our creative shop, GroovyThings. Van Life has taught us so much about slowing down, adapting, and trying new things… and this season feels like it’s all about doing things differently.
If you’ve ever felt that pull to shift gears or start fresh, this one’s for you 💛
✨ What’s inside:
– A chat about what's been holding us back and where life’s heading
– Updates on our GroovyThings shop
– Why sometimes, you just have to try!
