The Groovy Life
We're told not to dump our grey water, and for good reason. But after watching it keep patches of grass thriving through one of England's driest summers, I had questions! 🌱 Is it really as straightforward as we're led to believe? I started digging into the rules, the environmental impact and why finding somewhere to dispose of it responsibly in the UK can be such a headache.
Hey! We're Harley and Adam, the couple behind The Groovy Life! ✌️🌻
We've been living full-time in our motorhome, Hope, for over three years, alongside our dog Willow, sharing the adventures, challenges and unexpected realities of choosing a different way of life.
Our YouTube channel is about much more than beautiful places and life on the road. We share the practical realities of full-time van life, explore the challenges faced by the UK motorhome community and document our ongoing journey converting a bus into our future home.
We also love creating content that gets people thinking and talking. From investigating grey-water regulations and campsite facilities to exploring the real costs of living on the road, we're passionate about sharing genuine experiences and asking questions that matter to the community.
Alongside those bigger conversations, we bring our audience into the everyday adventures, setbacks, laughter and little victories that make this lifestyle what it is.
At the heart of The Groovy Life is one simple belief:
We're not selling a perfect life. We're showing that a meaningful one can be built from very little.
We'd love to connect with more people who share our passion for van life and contribute to a community that values honest experiences, useful information and the freedom to live a little differently.
Stay groovy!
Harley & Adam✌️
Think full-time van life means living completely off-grid? Think again! 😂 From topping up water and power to tackling the dreaded laundry mountain, campsites can be an absolute lifeline, especially during a UK winter. Here's why even the most independent van dwellers sometimes need a campsite!
Ever wondered where UK van dwellers are actually supposed to put their rubbish and toilet waste? 🚐 After getting nowhere with emails and conflicting advice, I picked up the phone and went straight to Environmental Health for answers. From public bins to composting and cassette toilets, here's what the council actually told me!
Big dreams don't pay the bills! 😂 With no savings, no remote jobs and absolutely no experience running a stall, we decided to take a chance on turning our little craft shop into a travelling business. Our first festival was fast approaching, Hope was broken down, and we had no idea if any of it would work. But if we waited for everything to be perfect, would we ever start?
Turning an old bus into our dream home is taking a lot longer than we bargained for! With a carpenter booked, a mountain of jobs to finish and time running out, we were finally making some real progress. But just when things started looking up, life threw another spanner in the works. Will we ever get to move into this blooming bus?!
