Just want to say a massive thanks to everyone who joined in over the weekend. Saturday was so much fun…
You know we like to do things a bit differently and I think this weekend was the best one yet 🤣 we must be the first streamers to do a Conga and Mexican Wave on Southside 🙈
Thanks to Simon Lowe and Blue Sky for lending us their slots 🫶🏻
See you later in the week - I’m knackered now. Two back-to-back streams was hard work.
Cheers!
John, VT and the gang 😎✈️

Sorry about the cancellation of tonight’s show. Work got in the way again.
We’ll be out on Saturday from around 11ish covering for young Simon Lowe. Hope to see you then.
It’s coming home 🏴🏴

Thanks to everyone who joined us last night for the “one more plen” stream. It was a lot of fun 🤣
Really appreciated the generosity of everyone who donated. Like I said on stream, I don’t do it for the money, I’d most likely be there anyway. It does help when people help support the running costs of the channel though 😀
I’m not out this weekend, Blue Sky are doing my Saturday slot this week. Hope to be with you next week on Wednesday.
Enjoy the weekend and see you soon

Hi all. Just a quick update for everyone.
Due to work commitments and a number of family events over the next few weeks, I won’t be able to maintain a regular livestream schedule for a little while.
I’ll still stream whenever I can, but the days and times may vary and some weeks may be quieter than others.
For those who have commented on my irregular schedule in the past, I’d just like to gently remind everyone that this channel is a hobby that I fit around a very stressful full-time job, family life, and everything else that comes with it. While I’d love to stream more often, real life has to come first.
I really appreciate everyone who tunes in, supports the channel, and understands that sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan.
Thanks for sticking with me, and I’ll see you all live whenever I can get behind the camera!
VT may do the odd pop-up stream in the interim, just keep your eyes on this page for the latest updates.
Cheers
John.

Thanks for watching our bonus stream this evening.
Sorry Liam and Louise - didn’t say thanks for the call-outs. Was starting to rain so got distracted. Thank you 😍
Thanks to Likey Mikey as well 👍🏻
Hoping to be out tomorrow but will be a last minute decision. Lots going on tomorrow morning. Watch this space.
Cheers

We’re hoping to get out next week for an evening Wednesday show, so watch this space.
Have a good weekend and see you soon

Just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone that joined me today on what was a rather epic stream.
It was the first time as a channel we had over 1K likes on a stream. It was such a fantastic feeling to see that counter click over to 1K whilst live. Huge thanks to the mods and everyone else that kept the counter ticking up.
The internet was a bit dodgy for the first few hours but managed to sort it in the end. It’s the risks of literally streaming from a field 🤣
Anyway thanks so much for the support, donations and of course spending time with us.
Not sure if I can squeeze a stream in during the week but watch this space
Thank youuuuu

Sorry about the short-notice cancellation. Something came up which meant I had to abandon the stream today.
We will definitely be out on Monday morning.
Thanks and enjoy the sunshine

Thanks to everyone who joined me yesterday and apologies for the technical issues. It literally was a tale of two streams.
I’d prepared for a bit of rain but not quite the monsoon we got midway through the stream! The photo is of my trolley which had a waterproof cover on it 😲
Anyway, we managed to get some epic spray footage, so every cloud and all that.
We hope to be out in the week but, as always, work may intervene.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you soon
John 😎✈️
