I love seeing supermarkets overseas. I guess it’s a snapshot of how similar & yet intriguingly different we are. Variations of everyday life, condensed. ❤
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.
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.
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 🤣🤣
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. ❤
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
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!
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.
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
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
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
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.
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 ❤ 🍁👵🇨🇦
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❤️
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
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 ❤️💙
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 🙂 ❤
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 😁👍
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.
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.
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 👍🙏🧙♂️
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 😊
I really enjoy watching your trips, I'm from Israel and minicampers are very rare here, I turned a Citroen Berlingo into a minicamper myself, our country is very small so my wife and I do short trips with the camper, I learned a number of things from your videos, thank you and keep up the fun trips.
Thanks for watching and hope you are having lots of fun travelling in your Berlingo. Have you seen The-Other-Windsors and their converted Citroen Berlingo, Buddy th-cam.com/channels/RUQu6a6TPY9dktx03IQbRQ.html 🙂
@@LifeistooshortCK Yes, of course I saw them, they are mature people and get along with a small camper, very impressive, by the way I find a lot in common between you and me, I also retired from the police and I also fly a drone for fun.
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 🚗. 🙋♀️
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.
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.
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
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. 😁👍
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.

I am sorry about the recent loss of your queen. She was a great woman and will be remembered as a great monarch.
"I am being good and not having any.... And if you believe that you will believe anything" ... 😂😂😂
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 😁👍
I really enjoyed this vlog. It had everything in it! Travel, food, info and comedy! Thanks Carol and Ken.
Thanks Linda 🙂
Living in Australia, I was surprised to hear a cuckoo! Only heard before on a wooden clock 🙂🙂
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 🙂👍
A fantastic journey, thank you both for sharing the adventures of the little red van….
Thanks for watching 🙂👍
The shower scenario had me grinning Ken. So funny. 😂
It scared me..🤣
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 👍
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 🙂
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 😅
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. ❤
Ha ha the classic "does my bum look big in this?" question skillfully answered Ken!
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
Thanks for watching YAM. Yes, we remembered those history lessons too ☺️
I can so see you guys owning a narrowboat and cruising.
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 ☺️👍
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.
Some great drone shots and a great history lesson.
Thanks Larry 🙂
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. 👍
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
That’s a good tip. Alas too late for us as you will see on a future trip we make 😉
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
TEXAS . . ....HEH,enjoyed watching you guys .. Besafe an God Bless.
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
Thanks Mary ❤️

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.
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 ❤
🍁👵🇨🇦
Thank you Valerie, you’re very kind ❤️
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 😁
Love the latest film and the music is great too thanks C&K
Thanks for watching Damien 🙂
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.

Nature, France, supermarkets, cooking, natural history, and I do like a bit of longbow history. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Jonathan 🙂
Very very interesting.
Do love the European supermarkets, I actually enjoy shopping in France and Spain 👍🏼
Enjoyed your video. Thanks.
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❤️
So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 🙂
Parfait, continuez vos vidéos, on aime.😊.
Merci d’avoir regardé 🙂👍
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
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 🤨
oh ken - yes you do need to put more energy into the hair complement!! hahaha brilliant
Haha, I’m learning 😅
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 🙂
🤣😂🤣😂
Outside shower.
😂🤣😂🤣
I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I was watching.
Great video, thank you. David
Cheers 👍
OMG, I did it again, forgot to have breakfast before watching! You got a bit cheeky there Ken 🙂.
You nearly got me then ken! I thought my hearing was going😊😊😊
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

Take care Moira 🙂❤️

Lovely spot to sp❤end a day or two, great video.
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 🙂👍
Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Thanks Margaret 🙂
Beautiful countryside. 😂 “trick question”
*😊** 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 😅👍
You had me there for a second Ken regarding the pizza 🍕 😁🤣👍
Thanks again for letting us discover a nice area of France. I love your comments, always a propos and informative.
Thanks for watching 🙂
We really enjoyed this video. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
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.
A particularly soothing episode...
really enjoyed that
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.
Merci pour votre vidéo si ...apaisante :-)

Nice to see everyday life in another land. Chicken Donuts!!! 😄
Would never miss it isn't it funny how you become Part of peoples life ❤
Thanks Damien 🤗
Love the park up. Very pretty part of France. 🌼Pamela
Enjoyable video visiting again!😉. Have a great week
16:21 bungees work well, the bang is a good reminder ;-)
Yep, that would definitely work well. Good tip, thanks 🙂👍
What a clean and varied 🛒 supermarket. Beautiful produce. Lovely vlog Ken and Carol. ❤️
Thanks Jayne 🙂
Loved the video 👌 so entertaining thank you 🤗🙌❤️

The best fun I ever had is staying in my tiny van
Hi Ken and Carol.
Hi Larry 👋
All yummy!❤
I didn't believe it Ken, that pizza just looked too good. Great vid, we enjoyed it very much.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Always excellent
Great Video!
Loved the video.thank you for taking us along.Blessings

Lovely vlog , just perfect with a cup of tea after a morning gardening . Your food always looks so scrummy and I am a vegetarian 🙀😻
That’s the first time a vegetarian has said that 😁👍
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 👍
Great vlog as usual , really enjoyed it ! Thanks both .
Thanks for watching 👍
Great vlog as usual. Lovely video and lots of information. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 🙂
Really enjoyed the new hair method. You guys are so cute. I will be waiting for the shower video. 😉
All the ladies want it but are just too shy to ask 😁👍

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 😅
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.
