Thank you so much!
Hello Alan and Sadge So good to see you and have a great time in France and Europe.
So thrilled all going well with baby loved the scan.😊
Thanks so much
My gf Sam thinks Alan looks like one of her favourite actors, Simon Pegg and that’s one of the reasons we started watching but then got hooked by your chilled and relaxed videos. It’s always a pleasure to come on journeys with you.
haha people keep saying about Simon Pegg, cant see it myself but I am also a big fan ever since Spaced so its all good!
Good to see Alan looking after you, great burgers 😊. Looking very well, so happy for you both xxx
Thank you ❤️
How lovely to see the baby scan photo. Glad all is going well. We agree France is a great country for vanlife so have a great time and we look forward to watching your next episode 😀👍❤️
Thank you!
Thank you so much for the baby update guys, and the calming vlog - didn’t realise how much I miss camping in France until I watched this. Even the crisps and the ‘crinkly’ burgers took me back! All that space and peace, that’s the way to welcome travellers.
Ahh glad you enjoyed! Yes the burgers all have strange lines in them!!
Just back from France. It is my spritual home. Love the place. Bought citron vert sirop. Oh my god. Amazing. Sugar content off the scale as you said but the flavour was intense. Back there in September with our caravan. Love your videos. Take care xx
Beautiful 💗
Easy. Eurotunnel. Roll down window, arms crossed on door, head on arms and sleep.
I'm off their in July and look forward to cheaper diesel than the UK.
Glad your doing so well we with the little one ATM, good luck.
If you find yourself in the Pyrenees sometime lemme know.
Have fun!
Thanks!
👍
Woohoo, I actually thought this was going to be a best of vlog. Great to see all is well with bambino.
😍 thanks for watching
Always a relaxing watch - not going to lie though, it’s all about the baby at the minute for us, only because you took us on a very emotional journey with you, well done guys 🙏🏻 hope beyond hope that all continues to go in the right direction xx 😘
Amy Paul & Ted x

Congrats on reaching 12 weeks. Happy travels. 😀

All the best and have a great trip .
Thank you 💕
Hi Guys,
Lovely to see you both, you're looking well Sadge, great to see your scan..🙂👍
You two are so relaxing to watch we really enjoy your vlogs..
Take Care Both, we look forward to your next episode..
All the best Steve & Ang ❤
Thank you ❤️
Not had the data to watch the vlog, we are touring Norway at the moment but reading the comments it sounds like the baby news is good. We are pleased about that :-) enjoy and have fun in France all of you
Norway sounds awesome! Thanks 👍
Congratulations!!! What fantastic news, you must take care now Sadge, let him run round after you👍👍👍 We recently came back from France in our van and although we tried to by fuel in supermarkets we did have top up on a Peage route, they asked for the money before we could put diesel in the tank!! That’s a first for us, it was over €2/litre! After that we did manage to get it as low as €1.77 in Intermarche. Food is expensive in France but the quality is normally good. We just love Rosé from Provence🍷🍷🍷and that is cheaper than UK. I enjoyed you vlog, nice to see you’re back in business, Cheers, Mike👍🍷
Crikey thats a lot!
very relaxing video, so cool and nice. Good to see you both! St-Omer is definitely on my destination list now. Reposez-vous bien.
Well worth a visit, some nice shops to
Diesel can be over £2/l in UK now, so £1.70/€2 seems cheap now!
Good lord 😐
Glad you guys doing ok, its all gone abit to meaty for my tastes though, have a great summer.
I don't think sadge will be on the sausages for long knowing her
Hi - great video today. We are on our way in August to France and Spain, could you use what 3 words to show your stops it would help us new motor home - Caroline & John
Yup will try and put them in where I can but honestly there is so much choice on park4night you will be absolutely fine.
I hit the like just immediately just for the yoghurt rule breaking
🤣🤣🤣
Love the baby photo. What a lovely garden lunch spot. How's the nausea Sadge, still there or fading? When you're pregnant I think you just have to eat what your body is craving, you can always go back to being vegan later. I had to look up your Squash, I've not heard of it before. That lake site was beautiful, love the color of the water there. You sure find some nice sites on Park4night. Enjoy your journey, take you 3.
It gets better and then gets worse again unfortunately 🙁 perfectly natural I think though
Glad Sadge and baby are doing well xxx👌🏽👌🏽🌈💕
Thank you ❤️
Love sage she is funny,xx
🤣
France is the best but I would say that as live here, how is the maxxair fan working out for you?
Yeah it's great wouldn't be without it
Hello You Two - greetings from Poland
First impression is just how happy content and relaxed you appear to be. So pleased that you're back in France being able to do what you like best. A wonderful vlog. The video was supeb. Look after each other, stay safe and see you again soon
Thanks Michael hope you are well
Congrats !
Have they got ridiculas rules to get into France still or can you just book the tunnel and arrive in France hassle free
Not sure 2bh, depends what you mean by ridiculous, you definitely need a passport!
@@RunningOffGrid ridiculas - Proof of vaccination or money paid to politicians cronie companies to provide „ medical procedure test „
@@zeez9053 we are of course both fully vaccinated. Actually had 2 of mine in France 😃
@@RunningOffGrid thank you for the reply.
But is there a hold up at the border ?
Nope no delays. Have never had any issues even when Covid was in full swing actually, always been fine with the tunnel.
Such a sweet picniq
😍
Great to see you guys back, on the road in France!
thanks for the tips with Internet. I will check it out before I ask questions 😁. Don't worry about the French, they will not speak to me in French most of the time, or make fun of my accent. I spoke French only until I was 27. Born and raised in the Province of Québec. it would be as if you would refuse to speak to an American because of their accent! Mind you, you might not want to speak with them... 😜 no offence to them here my 2 youngest are American!
I mean to be fair my French is embarrassingly bad so I am very much the one at fault!
@@RunningOffGrid still... that said I have many French friends who are really nice and kind.
I do have a question now about the internet connection. I contacted them, it all seems good and easy. Do you use yours as is or with an antenna? I was recommended to have an antenna for my MoWi because the van is made of metal. What is your experience with that issue?
@@manondeslauriers2645 you can't use it with an external antenna unfortunately which would be fantastic but the signal has been good for us. We just put the unit by the window.
@@RunningOffGrid Thanks! They told me you could use an external antenna but could not comment on the quality of the signal!? We're you ever able to talk to them or just chat?
