You literally bring tears to my eyes, your videos are so beautifully made, thanku 👍 😆 👍 👍 xxxxx
Awwww thank you Julie, so kind 🥰
Wales is so beautiful! You captured it perfectly. Thank you.
Thanks Ann 🙂
Loving this series..my father was born and bred in wales...near Llangollen...am doing my family tree and ive gone back to the 1700s so far...i spent my youth here but my father was the first to relocate out of wales to England, his family all still live there ...this is wonderful memories, thankyou...hope you find some love spoons...my father used to carve them from 1 piece of wood❤
Glad to rekindle those memories 👍
Glorious Wales, you can't beat it when the weather is right, who want's to go aboard when this is on you door step. 👍😁😎😍🌞🏰
Scotland?
Hear hear 👍🙂
Stunning views and very interesting history…love your journey choices!
Thank you Jackie 🙂👍
Thank you for the history commentary. Wales has so many beautiful castles! ☺
You’re welcome 👍🙂
That building with 7 dormers was beautiful.
We agree Larry. Glad we got to see it 🙂
Another enjoyable relaxing video, I love the convenience of your small van able to park easily and negotiate narrow streets and blending in with local traffic, but I have to admit I would miss the space and comfort of my bigger motorhome, nothing perfect in this life 🤔
We downsized from a big comfortable caravan which was a huge risk as we didn’t know if we would like it. Thank goodness it worked out for us 😁👍
love the ponderosa
The lovely weather is making for some stunning scenery on your Wales trip. Just in the process of sorting myself a stealth camping curtain so good to see what others are using 👍
The lovely weather does make everything look a lot better on film ☺️ Good luck with the stealth camping, stay safe 😀👍
Wales is a wonderful place, with stunning scenery, and some great Golf courses. Lovely Vlog again Guys, and thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching Paul and Suzanne. Not into golf courses but definitely enjoying the scenery 😆😀👍
Interesting vid. Like the look of that park up, you’ve inspired me to try them. Ps my trays arrived today, thanks for the link.
We just bought 2 more for home 👍
Wales is an underrated destination for many British holiday makers, maybe more people will visit due to European flight restrictions.
Let’s hope so Chris. So much to do and beautiful scenery to explore 👍🙂🏴
We can all come and be abused for being English, Visit the Ancient Well of Rubbish and get parking Tickets...Oh and I remember not so long ago we were TOLD to stay away.. "Keep Out" was the Mantra JUST in case you had the Lurgy.. Didn't matter if you wore a mask, stayed all alone in your caravan or mobile home, the order of the day was 'Stay Away'
I Love Wales, My Granddad was Welsh, a Swansea Boy, but the Ignorance and abuse I have seen and endured because I have an English accent from some who think we are still living centuries ago is off putting.. I get the national pride bit, Wales has a lot to be proud off! But when it gets used as an excuse to be 'Better than any other' (mainly the English), its not pride but racism. Proof was on one holiday when they pretended they couldn't speak English in the local shop to my wife who is Scottish LoL, did they care NO.. So I go in and pretend to be German, I do speak it pretty well, Funny how they used English to communicate then!
Nice Country and some really nice people, had some great times there. But this racist undertone needs to go, I suspect it will take longer than it does to clear that rubbish from the well especially given the Nationalist totalitarian assembly.
Must say I'm surprised at some of the comments of@@dadachoski5946 .
I'm guessing most of the rubbish in the castle well is deposited by English and other "foreign" visitors, as there is far more chance of meeting any of them in a Welsh castle. Locals don't tend to visit them and North Wales is near the bottom of the wish list of places to visit for South Walians.
As an English Cestrian (from Chester) I live on the border and have both worked and spent a lot of leisure time in North Wales and never experienced the negative attitudes he has encountered, above and beyond the banter I might share with anyone from the local Liverpool or Manchester.
All in all, bearing in mind the historical suppression, exploitation of Welsh mineral wealth by us English and the more recent flooding of their villages for our water supplies, I would say they treat us very well. Not to mention the cruel attempts to eradicate the Welsh language in schoolchildren.
So they're a bit nationalistic? Just got me thinking of the English "fans" booing the Danish team at the start of the Euro 2020 semifinal tonight, before a ball had been kicked. Didn't make me very proud to be English, I must say.
I won't get involved with any government's attempts at combating and curbing Covid, but I do know English visitors contributed to lurgy peaks on Anglesey and in Gwynedd.
By the way, better not visit Chester. We have traffic wardens on this side of the border too, not unusual in England.
Another beautiful vlog. Outstanding scenery and music
Thanks M Beaumont. We are glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍
Wales is a gem.
👍🙂
Some beautiful scenery. 🧶🌈🍓
Thanks Jenny 🙂👍
Greetings from Ohio. Thank you for showing us beautiful Wales. I must say, I've never seen much of the Wales landscape in all of the travel videos and UK on-location filming I've watched (and I have watched quite a bit in my lifetime). So picturesque and dramatic. Also, thanks again for the advice on purchasing a drone. I went with the DJI Mini 2 Fly More Combo and I love it! Brilliant content, as always and thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Glad you are enjoying the Welsh scenery. Have fun with your new drone 😀
I never want your videos to end. Well done. Beautiful country. Mary
Thank you so much Mary, very kind 😍
Cafe been there some years,,thought you'd have a fry up, 🍳
Bore da! That's the only thing I remember from Charles' speech in Wales (The Crown, S3). Thanks for the vid, much appreciated. I like the historical tidbits. Cheers & safe travels. 👍🏼 🍺 🥯 🇵🇭
Well done Kitty 🏴🙂 Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Hello Ken / Carol very nice video Wales is very beautiful my parents would quite often take me on day trips growing up on the Welsh boarders it made sense to go that direction as it was quite back then 1950 / 60 s as a little boy going through all the rolling hills and ending up at a seaside place was magic , I hope you did get chance to visit Conwy Castle . Take care .
Thanks Shaun. We have visited Conwy Castle on a previous trip in the caravan. As tickets are proving to be hard to book and it is looking very busy we have unfortunately had to miss it out on this trip.
Wonderful video again! Thank you! We hope to go to North Wales too - all being well with travel restrictions. We love that drive along the coast and hope to do the drive over the mountains and down to Penrhyndeudraeth and Portmeirion too! Look forward to your next video! :)
Thanks Anne McClelland. We are glad you enjoyed it 🙂👍 Hope you get to do that trip 👍
Great video again Carol and Ken, i enjoyed every second of it 😊 👍
Thanks Rob 🙂👍
When I read the title I was worried you had locked your keys in the van. LOL 😂
Haha 😆
Ahoy Pirates! :D Another priceless adventure from you two! Wales looks promising, I should give it a try soon! :D I saw a possible pirate teddy on a chair at the antique shop! XD Amazing shots, thanks! I am getting the winds of fortune, so stay tuned! Your art inspired! Bear hugs from Captain of the good old Blackthorne
Definitely come to Wales when you can. I think that was Paddington Bear, he could swap his hat for a pirate’s one 🏴☠️Take care 👍🙂
@@LifeistooshortCK Awww, I like that 🐻, and that cute movie about him! Thanks 👍
Blimey that was painful getting in to the castle .... book online you would think they could book you in lol
We should have just pretended to make a telephone call like kids do 😁👍
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks Larry 🙂
I like that top Carol - where was it from? I hope the ketchup came out in the wash 🍅🤞🏻😁 Thanks for another great video 😊
It is RJR.John Rocha. I bought it in Debenhams so you can tell it is not new! It did come out fine in the wash 👍 Thanks for watching 😀
Hi Carol and Ken. Don't know why, but Wales ( never been there, but want to visit) reminds me of the beautiful Ireland ( been there a few times). Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, great vlog😊
There are lots of similarities, Anita, in the landscape and the buildings.
Was a bit worried about you getting the ketchup on the van, it would be harder to wash than Carol's top. Enjoy the video.
My thoughts exactly Kerry 😁👍
good vid
Thanks Lee 😀👍
I really can’t be bothered with booking on line or via an app to visit somewhere…either take my cash or don’t bother…easy.
Agreed 👍
Hello Ken You use this song at 3.57 mins. Would you mind telling me the title and who sings it. Thank you.
Its called ‘as we go’ by Luminar 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK many thanks for that Ken
Where was that opening shot taken - looks very pleasant and not too taxing?
That was walking down from our climb up to the cairn on the Long Mynd.
More bothered about the van, not Carols top. Ha ha.
Can’t just chuck the van in a washing machine 😆
Have you been to Warwick Castle? 🏰
Yes we have been to Warwick Castle. Great day out and the Dungeon tour was the best we have been on 🙂👍
1) "I drive a Porsche, I can park wherever I like" - Didn't Ferdinand work for Adolph ??
2) The Ponderosa cafe area reminds me of the Per Gynt Trail in Norway. It's quite elevated and on a plateau just like shown here. When you get to Lillehammer and a town called Tretten you must drive the Per Gynt trail and stop halfway at the guest house. The scenery is splendid and the history is interesting. Per Gynt is open from May to October. It's worth doing the whole route.
3) I thought you were going to follow that Massey Fergusen tractor the whole way.....
4) Those rabbits looked tasty. Just get out the 22 and you'll soon have a meal. Oh, that's right, guns and hunting are virtually banned in the UK......
Great comments as usual, thanks Ade 😀 Will have to remember the Per Gynt Trail for if and when we go to Norway 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK Check it out before you go with Duck Duck Go.
@@adelarsen9776 👍🙂
Live u vids do barmouth pls
Thanks Donald 👍🙂
I’m one of those people who could care less about cars. I want one that runs and looks decent when the valet parks it! I get much more excited about caravans or camper vans. The possibilities are so much more fun than those $$$$$$$$$$ cars. I have no one I care to impress anymore, nor will I be impressed with your very expensive car! 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Haha. Well said 👍
