That was enjoyable. Boat lift was closed when we were there no nice to be able to see what it was like. Your map with the arrows looked like a second British invasion 😁👍. Very good keep them coming.
This brought back happy memories of holidays in France back in the 70s. The last time I saw a copy of "La voix du Nord," it was hanging on a nail in an outhouse. 😁 It's the French equivalent of ""Izal Medicated," but with the added bonus of something to read while you're in there. (If you speak French.)
We were brought up with "Izal Medication" toilet roll. Why ????? Left myself and my brother traumatised. Happily I have just read they ceased selling it in 2010. Jane 😊
Hair looks fine Stu😉. Loved the boat lift and museum. War museum was interesting. Especially hearing about the German Scientists. Loving the French ! 👍😊Thanks for sharing.
Hi there ! Absolutely we will - it was a great campsite and a great way to see Amsterdam cheaply in our opinion. A total must if you are that way Chris 👍 jane
'Allo 'Allo, I loved the conversation about speaking French. 🤣🤣 I will have to do some spider whispering as I've one in my driver's mirror. Wishing you both a Happy New Year 🎉🎉 From "Kermit and Si👍🐸
There is an ancient art to spider whispering- tapping on his web so he thinks he has caught something is one technique - I later found we had two in the same wing mirror
Was just about to say, "Oh! That looks like the Anterton Boat Lift" and there it was.😂 We can see you're struggling with the bakeries!!!!! Thanks for sharing Ju 😁
Haha, yes I relate to the funny accent when I’m in another country, it’s so weird! Lol! Thanks for including the ‘trickery’ of driving on a different side of the road! I’ve not come across that before. All I’ve seen in the past is people seamlessly swapping from one side of the road in diff countries without a word. ( though maybe I haven’t watched too many van life videos! ). But I will say you are giving me the courage to seriously consider a driving trip to Europe, when the RHDriving is the thing that put me off! So thankyou very much!😊. Also, could you please explain what an ‘air’ is & the difference between that & the Park4Night. Cheers, safe travels & Happy NY to you both. Melbourne Oz🇦🇺
First and most important welcome to the channel and thanks for watching and commenting It was our first time in Harry driving on the other side so a lot of concentration going on until we got used to it - if we can do it so can you 👍🚐 Regarding Park4night that is an app you can download and useful in Europe that people record places to stop - most of them are free with no restrictions but also has other useful info like water points etc An Aire tends to be a European term for an area and in van life you get aires that are free some looked after by the local authority that is an allowed place to stop. You often get water and waste points. Some there may be a charge to stop the night Hope that makes sense
Hi Jane and Del boy, monge too. That was an impressive looking boat lift, have you ever been to the one at Falkirk? The Falkirk wheel is great, and plenty of paths for a walk. I can see you two putting on a pound or two with all the great looking cake on offer. Bonjure amigos.
I was going to say about "hair" last week-but thought better of it ! My Dads saying was "There is only a week between a good haircut and a bad one" Glad your French is as good as mine (point and nod) Thanks for sharing ATB
Thanks for commenting and watching glad you enjoy - I always feel we’re a bit one dimensional on the cooking but we never get bored- the answer is no as I often just make things up to so no two meals are identical - I do plan sharing the pilaf meal in detail as it’s a big favourite of ours
Well every day’s a school day! Very interesting, Nantwich is just up the road from me and I knew nothing of their lift engineering history. What a feat of engineering that is. Wishing you and Jane a happy new year, and safe travels.
Great episode! If you are back next year, try and include 2 days in Puy du Fou, a superb historical theme park a few hours south of Paris. The WW1 trench exhibition is excellent, they built a real Roman Colliseum and run chariot races, Christians v Lions and Gladiators etc. The night time light show (ballet on water!) is amazing too.
@@getawaygeese no problem! You need two days because it's impossible to see all the shows in one. There is a typucial French aire type area walking distance from the park. No el. hook-up, but water/sewage dump etc. ( fee applies). Tickets not quite Disney price levels, but not far off, either. Bring your own food and snacks for the day.
Your right Jane. Stu’s hair cut did make him look like Tin Tin lol. What an amazing place to visit. The narrative & black & white photos would be confronting. Especially the scientist who helped design the V2 then helping America with its Rocket 🚀 program. Hard to get your head around it. Love history. Brilliant video. Cheers Lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺🐨👋💙💜
Lynne is wasnt the cut (as i cut it) but the way it was styled 😂😂😂😂 OK I may have had Tin Tin in mind when I cut it !! Im busted. The history is amazing isnt it. We felt overwhelmed being so immersed in it when we were there. Powerful stuff isnt it. Jane 😊
Another fabulous video Jane & Stew. Yes it's one of the grey areas of post-war morality that Wernher helped put Americans on the moon after working on V2s, Nazi to NASA. The alternative to the Americans taking German rocket scientists to the US is that the Soviets would have used them back in the USSR (queue the song) on the Soyuz programme & other military ballistics work that would have changed the world as we know it today. I always find it an uncomfortable reminder that the Saturn V rocket and V2 were black and white. Did NASA inherit spare cans of paint at the end of WW II?
Yes as ever people have one eye on the next thing - it just surprised us as a fact we never knew We love facts that make us think Thanks for watching and above all commenting

You made us laugh as my mind went back to Dads Army lol thanks for watching
That made me laugh so much. Tin Tin and his French hello. Take care Gill
Thanks for watching - my hair has recovered - unfortunately the French hadn’t improved
@@getawaygeese Hope you both have a happy new year.
@@Wheres_wanda_wandering and the same to you
Love the Tin Tin look😂😂....and don't worry Stu, I do exactly the same heeelllloooo to the French, then feel stupid 😂😂.
Oh that’s good I am not in my own lol 😂 thanks for watching

Thanks guys for watching - the hair is now normalised lol 😂
Another cracking episode Stew and Jane! Hope you'll post some footage of the Dutch campsite, etc when you get there?
Hi there ! Absolutely we will - it was a great campsite and a great way to see Amsterdam cheaply in our opinion. A total must if you are that way Chris 👍 jane

😂 no the Falkirk Wheel is on our bucket list of places to visit
I am afraid France was certainly an easy place to add pounds

Enjoying the relaxed vibe. Beautiful park up too. We’d be tempted to stay for a few days. Take care.
Thanks for watching …. It was a great day I have to say and I think there are many places to stop a couple of days without any issue
France didn’t know what had hit them, with Tin Tin & Delboy all rolled into one 🤣 bonjour 👋 Great video, happy & healthy new year to you both 🥳 Em 💜
😂 Thanks for watching and have a great 2024

Excellent always entertaining as usual .would you consider doing a cook book for van life ?
