@@Iamspartacus1 Probably not. There's supposed to be a standard based around the British system for pipes on steam engines. The likely ones would be 1/2, 3/4 & 1 inch - which is the bore of the pipe, not the diameter of the threads. If it was a hydraulic coupling there'd be more chance it'd comply, but that looked like push valve tap that was missing its sprinkler head. It could at least as likely be a metric thread, especially in France.
lovely stuff. we used to live near fougeres at st mars sur la futaie. we now have a cottage in the woods in LOT (dept 46). if you are heading down there its well worth checking out Rocamadour. A religious pilgrimage city built into the cliffs. safe travels. chris and justine x
what a lovely place ,well worth a visit.Especially for the dancing goats .🙂For sure that was a turbine you could hear for generating electricity. In catalunya there are quite a few in all the major rivers, they were used to provide power for the mills built alongside ,and now most of the old mill buildings which have been converted to housing get their power from the rivers.can,t get much greener than that.
We took our 50 year old Vw camper to Italy in August from the Uk didn’t use a single toll road as she’s happy trundling along at 50-55 and it meant we were able to enjoy the best scenery , towns and villages on the back roads.Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip.
Great vlog as usual guys....im just back from southern Portugal weathers nice around 19 degrees also popped to Seville in Spain well worth a visit beautiful city.
You two will have the most fantastic time exploring the peninsula around the Brittany coast. Me and my partner slept in the back of my car all round there and we always think of it as one of the best trips of our lives so far
What beautiful views of French building styles at 13:20 where you feature the walls expanding outward to accomodate extra rooms upstairs. I love the toppling building that didnt fall down for hundreds of years at 13:39 😅
@@johandemondt8028 I agree with you 💯, modern buildings are soul-less shiny blocks. Older construction was solid, characterful & interesting with nooks & crannies & attractive stonework.
Hey guys! My wife and myself have 2 apartments in Spain. One in the Garrotxa and one in the Costa Brava. You are more than welcome to use either one of them. Maybe we can show you some of the nice areas? Just let us know. All the best!
Safe and happy driving in beautiful France. I love the aires. They are so different and very often you can find one within walking distance from a village or town
You two look like your enjoying the Christmas holidays and having a lovely time. It must be lovely knowing you have weeks of fun and adventures ahead of you when most people are battening down the hatches for a few bleak months and the dreaded return to work.
Thanks for taking us on your journey. Always makes me look at a map and do a bit of reading about your itinerary. Of course deciding to travel over 2000 km in winter in a van to find some sun and warmth is bonkers! But that’s what makes it fun for the rest of us. Enjoy your adventure.
Fantastic Fougere. What a beautiful place. Love the castles in France. So much history, and so well preserved. Have a great time and enjoy all that lovely food. Happy new year xx
Hi do my pancakes creps with vinegar and sugar sometimes other thing's I remember once when I was short of ingredients to make desert.had some of my kids friends at ours. I did pancakes with some syrup on with sliced peaches rolled them up and spiked some icing sugar on . delicious.
A great start to your trip , looks like you are going to have a great time. love to follow you two neat people around and see lots of places that seem to be off the regular beaten track. So keep us followers with you. Stay safe and well, Ed 40 S OF Vegas
Brazil is a great place to visit during the winter months because their weather is summer like at this time of year. In the meantime have a wonderful time regardless.
When you’ve got a cold you should sleep sitting upright or at least leaning upright so you can breathe easier. I know that it’s a bit of a pain but over a little time you’ll get used to it. Also see if you can get Halls lemon mentholyptus drops and Halls defense drops. The menthollyptus drops are for upper chest congestion and the defense drops are for dry throat and vitamin C. If not try Ricola drops
Love the mustard plaster & wooden beams. I guess you've always rushed through Brittany on a mission to find heat and then rushed through to catch a ferry on the way back. I wish all the old mills in the UK had dynamos, to mill electricity.
A nice place to visit is on the border of Portugal (Algarve region) and Spain (city of Ayamonte), in a town called Vila Real de Santo António (Portugal). It is at the Guadiana river. Next to the marina is a Camping spot. Ayamonte is also nice. And this time of the year the weather is usaually great.
Best to use the A roads (also known as N roads … Route Nationales) …. you see so much more of the real France. Motorways are great for long journeys when you need to get somewhere quickly but can be expensive. Recently drove from Geneva in Switzerland to our home in SW France and the toll fees alone were over 90 euros. Fuel was half that price! By the way, lots of cats are feral in France… especially in the countryside. They keep the rodents in check! If you’re travelling back anywhere near Pau or Toulouse you’re very welcome to stay with us in a little village in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Plenty of room for the van and Mountain Views.
My mum lives in Brittany 😊 if you decide to go there I would recommend the valley of the saints, on a clear day is best so you can see for miles around
those service machines where you get water - make sure to take water from the side without the bar on cos that is the cassette rinse tap. love the vid.
It’s a beautiful area but as grey as England. Those crepes looked absolutely delicious! Looking forward to seeing more. Lovely animals.❤️Take care, safe travels and Happy New Year. xxxxx
Great ,,,, we live in finistere and yes you should visit brittany proper , north coast from st Malo to Brest ,, Crozon , etc etc it’s camper heaven and the best place in france in the sunshine months ,, and if you get to Spain we always stay in Javea ( xabia ) in our Camper for 3 months in grey brittany winter it’s wonderful ,, We will be visiting Asturias region on our way home it’s meant to be amazing ,, safe trip .. x
Hi benny and Emily Love watching the videos not sure if someone has said but if you can get some plumbers PTFE tape from a DIY store and wrap the tap threads you should be able to use the bigger adapter ok until you find the correct one hope this helps john
@@BenandEmily You guys look soooo much happier after selling up and escaping from this Ununited Kingdom of HELL never come back to this SHITHOLE DOOMED country why would you 👌👍
The brass hose connector looks like a 2 in 1 version. The upper part unscrews from the rest of the connector to reveal another threaded section. Enjoy your travels!! 🚐🚱
The crepe maker uses more whole grain in his batter there. Our baker, Gilda is from Quebec, CA his are made on the bug round plate but they come out lighter colored
I completely understand you there; what more could you want with all the animals, beautifull nature, castle...looks like a nice trip, as always actually😂 I'm excited to see what adventures are coming up for you, have fun💖💖💖
Hi guys, the song at 3.23 gets me everytime… I love love love it!!! Benny your music is so great to listen to on the videos. So glad you are getting your cat fix 🐈🐈⬛ you seem to be a magnet for cats, they must sense you are both so chilled. Have a great trip. Happy new year 🥰
You used to be able to buy a rubber tap connector with a jubilee clip which fitted everything 😊obviously it was too simple and didn’t generate enough profits .
Great vlog guys. Thanks for sharing with us. A lovely place. I hope you enjoyed Christmas 🎄. Happy New year to you both. Looking forward to seeing you next week. Take care and stay safe.😊
Lovely video. Crepes looked delicious, no doubt at some point you will have some more. Enjoy your trip and hope you find some warmer weather. Hope your change of plan works out. Take care and safe🙋👩❤️💋👨❤️🎄🎄🎅
As you are in France try one of those old fashioned hardware stores that you can sometimes find in the towns,they might stock a connector like l described 👍
So glad you went to fougere, we went to poy du fou in the summer would def recomend. Found brittany bit challenging for park ups on the coast. Would recomend mont st michelle, reasonably priced parking and 23 euro overnight and free bus ride to the island which was so atmospheric dispite all the tourists xx
'Cats, birds with afros, goats in trees, massive chickens, great crepes, fantastic castle' 😊😊 Such a fabulous enthusastic list of wonder, seems ripe for a sample in one of your tracks Benny? Great stuff 😊❤
A Fougère il y a un bar qui s'appelle "le coquelicot" ils aiment beaucoup les musiciens !!(mes deux garçons y ont joué assez souvent !)😃Benny aurait pu leur chanter une jolie chanson de son répertoire..je suis sur qu'ils auraient payer une biere gratuit,la prochaine fois demandez (Benoit) il est responsable de la programmation des concerts .grosses bises à tout les deux.j'adore voir Emily se régaler devant sa crèpe😄😋
❤ I wanted to wish you two and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Sorry it's late but, I have a govt. phone and my data runs out the second of the month so being able to comment is a bit of hit and miss. Love you guys and I miss 😊 Allen too! So, sorry she seems upset with you. Love your trips be it, boat or van. Keep up the awesome videos guys!
Your universal water connector screws apart the small bit screws out, and the rest of it will fit on
Just about to say😂

Fougeers is a lovely small town. We visited in 2001 and again in 2017. The lower village close to the castle is lovely.
You drove very close to my place on route to the castle.
If you need a place to park up on the way back you can stop here if you want.
Fantastic Fougere. What a beautiful place. Love the castles in France. So much history, and so well preserved.

You could have tried the funnel in the hose under the tap...other end in the tank.
Enjoy you time in Western France the food is great and the colmbage buildings are amazing I lived in Central France near Poitiers for 10 years
Brittany is a gallic region similar to Cornwall

Have just found you both........... looking forward to new adventures
Unscrew the small brass adapter and it will reveal the middle size you're looking for. Made the same mistake myself!
Loving coming along with you both, wish you a happy and healthy new year 🤗
