I love seeing supermarkets overseas. I guess it’s a snapshot of how similar & yet intriguingly different we are. Variations of everyday life, condensed. ❤
Just found this channel and stuff bscribbed. Always amazed how many ordinary folk can make such great programs from filming to editing to presenting. You’d are very professional and yes very relaxing.
I’ve visited 2 historical battlefields, Pearl Harbor and culloden, I never want to go to another, it was chilling with an overwhelming sense of sadness, almost suffocating.
Couldn't agree more Ken, finding that perfect park up just to sit, relax and watch the world go by, brilliant. I'm not sure about that shower idea Ken, your frighten the wildlife 🤣🤣
Y’all got me giggling with this one….from chicken donuts to outdoor showers, and more….THANK YOU for the laughs and the pleasure of sharing another bit of your journeys. Best wishes and safe, healthy travels!
Ken you do make me laugh, I like your wit. Thank you both for listing the music you play, very helpful. Over the last week or so ,I have found myself repeatedly binge watching your channel and enjoying it very much.
I hope you both are around making videos for many years to come. I always enjoy your humor, history lessons, and drone footage. It’s a bummer about the laws changing with regards to drones. A bit overkill in my opinion, but that’s politicians! Mary
Very enjoyable series of travelling through France and watching both of you with the basic everyday things in the van. Remarkable scenic park up that you found and I doubt that places like that will increase in numbers across the country.
We should make the effort to visit Crecy as it is only 30 minutes away from our French house. Azincourt is only 5 or 6 minutes away. The visitor centre there is great, I couldn't imagine us making such an effort in the UK to celebrate a battle where we were so comprehensively beaten. When we first started visiting France 25 year ago the Croque Monsieur or Madame available in the bars were our go to lunch choice, but recently the Madame has pretty much disappeared and the Monsieur has always been a disappointment. Glad that you found a decent supermarket version.
The Battle of Hastings site has a museum, Abbey and the battlefield at what was a successful invasion of England that changed the course of our history. 😁👍
Hari OM Blissful, that first stopover. The peace and tranquility shone through the screen. And I had flashbacks to history lessons at Claydon Secondary Modern and learning about the technological advancement generated by war that was the longbow... a joy as ever to ride with you both! YAM xx
My favorite thing about watching your videos is seeing both of you. Love your humor, Ken, and amazed at how you make the food look so delicious. Tiramisu is my favorite dessert - YUMMY! Enjoyed seeing the beautiful scenery, professional video (of course)! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures. ❤
I really appreciate your videos, taste testing seems to be Ken's favourite thing. The trick I found to stop me driving off and leaving my expensive off road grip mats is to attach chains to them and clip the other end to the vehicle (out of the way so you don't catch the chain) or as you do have your passenger watch and collect them
In Sweden there is a huge cheap shopping center mostly with clothing for women (Ullared/Gekås). The women can roam around for hours doing bargain shopping. Therefore the shopping center also has a "parking spot" area for men where they can play computer games, have a beer or watch football on TV whilst waiting for their better half finish shopping. A sort of man cave.
I'm sure it was a typical English unintentional slip of the tongue, but Welsh longbowmen also contributed to the pivotal role of these solders at Crécy. Thanks for yet another lovely (and thoughtful) video from you both.
You can even make a croque monsieur back in the UK all you need is some bread cheese and ham plus a frying pan, with an egg its called a croque madame.
Even top chefs called it "CHOR ITZO " as it sounds..but the pronunciation as its sounds is "CHOR RITHO" ...Nice video as always...put TOLEDO on your to-go list...Carol loves a bit of history,,she won't be disappointed
Hey team, dunno if this has already been mentioned but a nice easy way to make sure you don’t drive off the chocks or leave them behind is to put a small note or Post-it on the speedo so when you start the engine you will see it. Works for us! Lovely Vlog by the way
Thanks for another lovely vlog, I'm really enjoying this French series. I have a card with CHOCKS written on it - I put it on the dash over the speedo when the chocks are in use. Very hard to forget. Keep the card with the chocks when you pack them away.
I loved hearing the history of the battlefield. Longbows vs crossbows!? That’s going waaaay back! On the west coast of the USA, anything in the 1800’s seems like ancient history. I also love the cooking parts of your videos - you always have great systems for getting it all put together.
As usual, very informative, very entertaining, just the right amount of “chillaxation” and with a dusting of comedy. We always enjoy your videos, thank you so much❤️
Hello 🖐 ... I love love love 😍 your wee red van, your fabulous videos, and your beautiful wife ... oh and you're not so bad yourself! 😄 Looking forward to seeing more 😀 ... Hugs Valerie ❤ 🍁👵🇨🇦
good point on the leaving the Chalks... I've left many of my high end coats and what you would call "jumpers" behind on my end when I take them off to dine in lol
I absolutly love your channel. Its so relaxed, so much fun. I especially like the fact that you show us that travelling in a small van is no problem. It doesn't have to be a 7mtr long big camper with everything you have at home. In a year from now i will have saved enough to buy a Ford Nugget pop up camper. I will be travelling for 9 months a year in my van and 3 months with my family in the Netherlands. I look forward to going back to living in a van like i did many years ago. Perhaps we will meet on the road.
We love the Ford Nugget so its a great van to go for. There is a channel called Cali Camper Family and they are worth a watch about the Nugget. Perfect size for mobility with comfort 😁👍
its nice being with both of you, it makes the day interesting 😊 always beautiful views. and yummy 😋 food it takes me away from all the stress and worry, that we have to look forward to we are going back in time. stay safe and take care 🙂 ❤
Couldn't sleep so I'm watching this in bed at 1.45 am. Such a beautiful idyllic spot you got for your park up. The bear feet looked nice and along with a cup of tea would hit the right spot for me. XX ❤️💙
Yes you are indeed the most sedate van lifers I have watched on TH-cam no rushing from one place to another at break neck speed : I did a 10 days road trip with my family and never managed to breath in between hotels all though the experience was enjoyable it was a little too fast for my 70 year old body it would have been nice to stop and take in the beauty of Spain and France : I’ll stick to my touring caravan where the pace is slower next stop North Yorkshire in all its beauty 😊
Pizza looked excellent. The drone situation is a worry. I hadn’t heard that. You have the food prep down to a fine art. I am like you Ken. Drink very little (Graham). Carol and the wine 😂🤣. No shower please Ken. 😂 nice little history lesson 👍🙏🧙♂️
It’s all about controlling people and our freedom, with all the new “restrictions” and rules. Sad but true. We have always enjoyed your vlogs. Thank you.
Hello Ken / Carol . I really hope it does not come that you will give up your drone work that would be a shame, I still would wonder how many people would get the tracker on , I am sure many here in Canada would just not do it , I would also worry that people would start shooting them down. Thanks great video . Take care .
We have just bought a ridge monkey after watching you for a while. Very good. Great watching as always thank you for sharing. Choice of music delightful.
well, i hope you do not give up on drone flights. you might shorten them... up, plan around, down, and move on. you are very good at it. spaghetti wise, more sugar... that surprised me, but you are in a different part in the world. you really do enjoy life, thanks for sharing.
I like that you put the map in every now and then to show where you are. I always look on google maps for orientation because we’ve been to France several times and it’s always nice to see new areas. I also love the French supermarkets. Glad you filmed in E Leclerc. They are so large and sell literally everything. I’d almost go to France only just for the supermarkets 😀. Nothing like that here in Holland. Once again I enjoyed the video and your cosy red van 🚗. 🙋♀️
Very nice video! Despite some nonsense that goes on in Paris and a few of the other larger cities, France always looks so civilised. Drone footage is wonderful. I really wanted to get one, but everywhere is clamping down these days and getting the required licenses and permissions to fly one is just too much hassle. Enjoyed joining you on your travels.
Re the hair compliment situation. For future reference, you look lovely dear is the correct answer. And said with a bit of conviction. You can thank me later. Just found your channel, thanks for the effort.
After a wet disaster with a pota loo took your advice and got a bivvy loo and pee bottle. So much easier and less room needed. Got a dog so no issue bagging poo. Plus no chemical smell. Thanks
A very tranquil vlog, really enjoyed it 😊 I hope you can and will be able to use your drone in the future, would be a pity not to, but if it will be as mentioned it's no fun. I love the drone footage, because you get to see the beauty of places from another perspective. Have you arrived safely in Denmark? Can't wait to see the Norway/Denmark series. Best wishes 🙏
"I am being good and not having any.... And if you believe that you will believe anything" ... 😂😂😂
I am sorry about the recent loss of your queen. She was a great woman and will be remembered as a great monarch.
I love seeing supermarkets overseas. I guess it’s a snapshot of how similar & yet intriguingly different we are. Variations of everyday life, condensed. ❤
We love looking round foreign supermarkets 😍
It's true Ken your videos are very relaxing, so much so, I've slept through them all. Only joking. I love them. Your drone work is excellent.
If you are going to fall asleep then please do so watching our main playlist 😁👍
Living in Australia, I was surprised to hear a cuckoo! Only heard before on a wooden clock 🙂🙂
Just found this channel and stuff bscribbed. Always amazed how many ordinary folk can make such great programs from filming to editing to presenting. You’d are very professional and yes very relaxing.
Thanks Marcus and welcome to our channel. Hope you enjoy all our videos 🙂
The shower scenario had me grinning Ken. So funny. 😂
It scared me..🤣
I really enjoyed this vlog. It had everything in it! Travel, food, info and comedy! Thanks Carol and Ken.
Thanks Linda 🙂
I'm glad you came to my feed. It was a pleasure watching. You have each other. Keep travelling. God bless you. 🇭🇲🐞
Thanks for watching Trudi. So glad you found us 🙂👍
I can so see you guys owning a narrowboat and cruising.
Do love the European supermarkets, I actually enjoy shopping in France and Spain 👍🏼
A fantastic journey, thank you both for sharing the adventures of the little red van….
Thanks for watching 🙂👍
oh ken - yes you do need to put more energy into the hair complement!! hahaha brilliant
Haha, I’m learning 😅
I’ve visited 2 historical battlefields, Pearl Harbor and culloden, I never want to go to another, it was chilling with an overwhelming sense of sadness, almost suffocating.
Yes very eerie knowing that so many died at that spot.
Very very interesting.
Some great drone shots and a great history lesson.
Thanks Larry 🙂
Ha ha the classic "does my bum look big in this?" question skillfully answered Ken!
Oh Ken, you really chickened out on the hair question didn’t you 😂
Couldn't agree more Ken, finding that perfect park up just to sit, relax and watch the world go by, brilliant.
I'm not sure about that shower idea Ken, your frighten the wildlife 🤣🤣
Yes, having second thoughts on that 😅
Great video, thank you. David
Cheers 👍
really enjoyed that
Beautiful scenery. Just noticed that you drained the pasta into a plastic container in the sink - very good idea 👍🏻
All our waste water goes into that box which gets emptied every morning. 👍
Y’all got me giggling with this one….from chicken donuts to outdoor showers, and more….THANK YOU for the laughs and the pleasure of sharing another bit of your journeys. Best wishes and safe, healthy travels!
Glad you enjoyed it Catherine. Thanks for watching ☺️👍
Ken you do make me laugh, I like your wit. Thank you both for listing the music you play, very helpful. Over the last week or so ,I have found myself repeatedly binge watching your channel and enjoying it very much.
You are welcome 👍
I hope you both are around making videos for many years to come. I always enjoy your humor, history lessons, and drone footage. It’s a bummer about the laws changing with regards to drones. A bit overkill in my opinion, but that’s politicians! Mary

All yummy!❤

Thanks for watching YAM. Yes, we remembered those history lessons too ☺️

That’s a good tip. Alas too late for us as you will see on a future trip we make 😉

Therefore the shopping center also has a "parking spot" area for men where they can play computer games, have a beer or watch football on TV whilst waiting for their better half finish shopping.

That sounds like a great place. It’s just common sense 😁👍
Joli !
I'm sure it was a typical English unintentional slip of the tongue, but Welsh longbowmen also contributed to the pivotal role of these solders at Crécy. Thanks for yet another lovely (and thoughtful) video from you both.
They did indeed. Edward III's army totalled about 13,500, of which about half were archers; 4,500 English and 2,000 Welsh.
@@LifeistooshortCK And of which a large proportion of those archers where from Lancashire.
You can even make a croque monsieur back in the UK all you need is some bread cheese and ham plus a frying pan, with an egg its called a croque madame.
Will have to try that one day 🙂
Even top chefs called it "CHOR ITZO " as it sounds..but the pronunciation as its sounds is "CHOR RITHO" ...Nice video as always...put TOLEDO on your to-go list...Carol loves a bit of history,,she won't be disappointed
Just found you. I subscribed. You look like you're having fun.
Welcome and thanks for subscribing. Hope you enjoy the videos 🙂
*😊** You might check your app to see if there any drones out when the shower scene is being developed. Enjoyed the my break with you twos.
Haha, good point, thanks Amy 😅👍
Hey team, dunno if this has already been mentioned but a nice easy way to make sure you don’t drive off the chocks or leave them behind is to put a small note or Post-it on the speedo so when you start the engine you will see it. Works for us! Lovely Vlog by the way
Did that after leaving them behind on our last trip and guess what, we left them behind again in Norway! I’m not allowed any more chocks 😁
Nature, France, supermarkets, cooking, natural history, and I do like a bit of longbow history. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Jonathan 🙂
Great video & some history as well, what was wrong with the Chicken doughnuts lol 😆 .........
You will never know as we were too scared to try them 😅
Thanks for another lovely vlog, I'm really enjoying this French series.
I have a card with CHOCKS written on it - I put it on the dash over the speedo when the chocks are in use. Very hard to forget. Keep the card with the chocks when you pack them away.
Good tip, but alas too late for us as you will see in a future trip 😉
Good tip, but alas too late for us as you will see in a future trip 😉
Well said Ken, the day that the fun goes out of drone flying will be the day that we pack it in.
It will not be worth the hassle, that’s for sure 🤨
You had me there for a second Ken regarding the pizza 🍕 😁🤣👍
I loved hearing the history of the battlefield. Longbows vs crossbows!? That’s going waaaay back! On the west coast of the USA, anything in the 1800’s seems like ancient history. I also love the cooking parts of your videos - you always have great systems for getting it all put together.

So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 🙂
Love the latest film and the music is great too thanks C&K
Thanks for watching Damien 🙂
You nearly got me then ken! I thought my hearing was going😊😊😊
Crecy.....it was also Welsh bowmen who brought about the victory.
Yep

Aww, thanks Gerald. That’s very kind ❤️

Awesome relaxing couple of days, thanks for sharing, love your journey. 💗💗🙋♀️🙋♀️
Baba au rum ! Yes !
Every time I go back home to France,my daughter-in-law stocks up the fridge with 'Baba's'
Couldn't sleep so I'm watching this in bed at 1.45 am. Such a beautiful idyllic spot you got for your park up. The bear feet looked nice and along with a cup of tea would hit the right spot for me. XX ❤️💙
Hope we helped you get to sleep Margaret 😉 Thanks for watching 🙂
TEXAS . . ....HEH,enjoyed watching you guys .. Besafe an God Bless.
A particularly soothing episode...
Thanks again for letting us discover a nice area of France. I love your comments, always a propos and informative.
Thanks for watching 🙂
The best fun I ever had is staying in my tiny van
Thank you Carol and Ken I really enjoyed all the vlog and have subscribed. There are lots to catch up on.
Thanks for watching and subscribing Jayne, much appreciated 🙂👍
We really enjoyed this video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
Another great video :)
Beautiful countryside. 😂 “trick question”
Yes you are indeed the most sedate van lifers I have watched on TH-cam no rushing from one place to another at break neck speed : I did a 10 days road trip with my family and never managed to breath in between hotels all though the experience was enjoyable it was a little too fast for my 70 year old body it would have been nice to stop and take in the beauty of Spain and France : I’ll stick to my touring caravan where the pace is slower next stop North Yorkshire in all its beauty 😊
Too right, Sheila. Enjoy North Yorkshire 🙂👍
We always use Leclerc when in France.
Wow Ken can't wait fir you to try that shower out!!😄😘
OMG, I did it again, forgot to have breakfast before watching! You got a bit cheeky there Ken 🙂.
I can't help thinking a diagonally cut sandwich not only looks better ... but tastes it too 😂🤣
Enjoyed your video. Thanks.
Pizza looked excellent. The drone situation is a worry. I hadn’t heard that. You have the food prep down to a fine art. I am like you Ken. Drink very little (Graham). Carol and the wine 😂🤣. No shower please Ken. 😂 nice little history lesson 👍🙏🧙♂️

Love the park up. Very pretty part of France. 🌼Pamela
Hi Ken and Carol.
Hi Larry 👋
What a clean and varied 🛒 supermarket. Beautiful produce. Lovely vlog Ken and Carol. ❤️
Thanks Jayne 🙂
Enjoyable video visiting again!😉. Have a great week
You too ❤️
Loved the video 👌 so entertaining thank you 🤗🙌❤️
Would never miss it isn't it funny how you become Part of peoples life ❤
Thanks Damien 🤗
Nice to see everyday life in another land. Chicken Donuts!!! 😄
Love your vlogs of rural France. Beautiful photography and music. So relaxing.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
It’s all about controlling people and our freedom, with all the new “restrictions” and rules. Sad but true. We have always enjoyed your vlogs. Thank you.
Thank you Asahi 🙂👍

Time will tell but I won’t stop until the hassle outweighs the pleasure 😁👍
Ah your right about you two being relaxing to watch. I always look forward to seeing a new video of yours
Thanks for watching Valerie 🙂
We have just bought a ridge monkey after watching you for a while. Very good. Great watching as always thank you for sharing. Choice of music delightful.
Thanks for watching. Enjoy your RidgeMonkey 😋
well, i hope you do not give up on drone flights. you might shorten them... up, plan around, down, and move on. you are very good at it. spaghetti wise, more sugar... that surprised me, but you are in a different part in the world. you really do enjoy life, thanks for sharing.
Some realy nice parkups in this on Carol & Ken. Drone footage stunning as usual.
Thanks Rupert 🙂
Loved the video.thank you for taking us along.Blessings
Thanks for watching 🙂
Chicken doughnuts, I would have had to try one. 🤣 at naked Ken, would deffo raise ratings. Love you guys, I hope you go on for years to come yet. 💜
Cheers 👍
I like that you put the map in every now and then to show where you are. I always look on google maps for orientation because we’ve been to France several times and it’s always nice to see new areas.

Once again I enjoyed the video and your cosy red van 🚗. 🙋♀️
Thanks Mary. We love the French supermarkets too. Much better than our local ones at home ☺️
Another cracking video Ken, thanks to you both.
Cheers 👍
Very nice video! Despite some nonsense that goes on in Paris and a few of the other larger cities, France always looks so civilised. Drone footage is wonderful. I really wanted to get one, but everywhere is clamping down these days and getting the required licenses and permissions to fly one is just too much hassle. Enjoyed joining you on your travels.
With you on the hassle 👍
Lovely video, as always! Thanks so much!
Thank you Elzabeth 🙂
Re the hair compliment situation. For future reference, you look lovely dear is the correct answer. And said with a bit of conviction. You can thank me later. Just found your channel, thanks for the effort.
Welcome Trevor. Thanks for the advice. Any other compliment suggestions would be much appreciated 😊
After a wet disaster with a pota loo took your advice and got a bivvy loo and pee bottle. So much easier and less room needed. Got a dog so no issue bagging poo. Plus no chemical smell. Thanks
Bivvy works well. Just make sure you have good quality bags 😁👍
I look forward so much to each episode. It must take so much time to edit and produce. The ariel shots make the video.
Thanks for appreciating the work involved and thanks for watching 🙂👍
A very tranquil vlog, really enjoyed it 😊 I hope you can and will be able to use your drone in the future, would be a pity not to, but if it will be as mentioned it's no fun. I love the drone footage, because you get to see the beauty of places from another perspective. Have you arrived safely in Denmark? Can't wait to see the Norway/Denmark series. Best wishes 🙏
Thanks Anita. We arrived in Denmark last night so looking forward to exploring a new country 😀
Here is the states the pastry "BEAR FEET" is called a "bear claw". Glazed like a donut, often with cinnamon in between two layers of fluffy dough.
Now that sounds yummy 😁👍
