Thanks Henk 📍will add that to our itenerary 🇫🇷

[@brendagreen4132]

What about South of France overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, it has been a dream of mine to go there, but know it's just a dream. If you make it there and get some really nice footage, I would love to see it through your 👀. Thanks Keely and Philly, I love watching your adventures ❤️

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Brenda, we will try our best 💓💓

[@chrisneave5582]

Dordogne Brantome is magical.. Loire great for kayaking..we are here now little villages with monumental history..

[@tinaeldridge3802]

I can't believe you forgot water, that did make me laugh knowing you can't function without coffee, and there's nothing quite like the French baguette. Honfleur is a very pretty harbour, that's in Normandy.. Looking forward to your next adventure. Take Care Hugs UK

[@phillyandkeely]

Will add Hornfleur to our map. Going to be so fun coming up with a bit of an itenerary.

[@chrisneave5582]

Don’t let your bad experience taint your experiences, you survived it all, and while staying aware enjoy..Having lived in Spain for 12 years. You adopt a siege mentality, never leave your things alone,be hyper aware of the people and surroundings and don’t feel rude if your being crowded stop spin around and face them up..and you don’t even realize your doing it.. but France is lovely, we have been here 4 weeks so far, let our guard down and said we would never do that in Spain..and it’s been really cathartic and healing hope the magic works for you..enjoy your trip

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks for the advice Chris. We absolutely love Spain and would LOVE to live there some day on a little plot of land. Do you enjoy it? I'm not sure I could live forever with a seige mentality lol. But I much prefer being in a country where I can speak at least a little of the language. I keep accidently speaking in Spanish to french people, thankfully so far they have been very kind to my idiocy. Hopefully we experience some of the carthatic magic you speak of and can relax ourselves a little.

[@chrisneave5582]

@@phillyandkeely we love Spain and the Spanish people are so kind And tolerant , we only come home as the job markets dried up and my girls come back and started having babies..when you live there your not aware that you’re on high alert...until you let it go, rushing back for a dear friend and your parked up at a hospital in a English motorhome.on high alert again ..it was a totally bizarre realisation...but you soon adjust.,,, your love living in Spain we still think in Spanish.😆😁 But this winter a intensive French Micheal Thomas course..as l have no wish to travel that far with the price of fuel. We are very lucky to live near your fave city...just a short bus ride in. And 10 minutes to Newhaven ferry...

[@phillyandkeely]

Glad you guys love it 🥰

[@dilysjones9647]

🎉I love watching your videos every week, loved the Copper way. Keep up the brilliant work xx

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Dilys 🥰🥰

[@michellewoods9824]

Hey guys. Totally agree with you on Brighton. The vibe is spot on. We would really love to live there one day. Enjoy France! Bon voyage ❤️

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Michelle 🥰🥰 your plant hanger should be on its way to you tomorrow!! I've packaged it up and gave it ciera to post 💕💕 Brighton is awesome isnt it 💓 such great vibes. If we were gonna end up in England it would be in Brighton... If we were rich hahaa

[@algebraictraveller3725]

I am sort of new here and you guys seem like sweet, jolly folks from around the hills. That's very cool! Thanks for showing around. Good luck!

[@draganacrnila8079]

Hello,good to see you ok and ready for travel 👍👍! Because of you I am strated noticed vans alongside road😍. I whish you safe and good trip in France(happy in advance).I recommend you trip to Montenegro in fall,and Slovena all year around,love you ✌️🤟

[@phillyandkeely]

Thankyou do much for your recommendations. Slovenia looks beautiful ❤️ and Montenegro in fall I imagine would be so colourful. Thankyou for watching 🥰🥰

[@lindataylor6093]

Fab you are in France. Lovey quiet open roads. Enjoy x (Quiberon Bay. Brittany, is beautiful)

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Linda, will add these both to our maps 💓💓💓

[@kathigee]

you two are definitely my favorites. My secret dream is to run into you on the road one day! (I'm always the one wanting to eat also... gotta get ahead of the hangries!!!). Looking forward to more of your travels. God bless..

That is soooo kind of you to say, thankyou Kathi XXX who knows when our paths might cross 🥰🥰

Fellow Rummykubbers!!!! @FnAVanLife ‘r’s are also Rummykubbers! We all need to meet up for a Kub tourney someday! Okanagan Van Life Meet Up 2023?? 👍🏼

[@phillyandkeely]

Oh my word would be epic to make it all the way to Okanagan lol!! Rummikub hurts our brain haha, but in a good way! Always keen for meet ups haha

[@musicbeth4]

This is amazing!! And so cool that you can use a toaster now 😍 Jake’s gonna be so jealous, he loves toast!! :)

[@phillyandkeely]

Hahaha, we will make toast for you when we are all together. It will be a toast feast!!!!

[@jordanglazier2351]

I have always loved your videos so keep it up guys, my partner and I are currently doing Europe in our van. We would defiantly recommend Slovenia (lake bled) especially and little did we know how beautiful Luxembourg would be. Keep up the good work guys.

[@phillyandkeely]

Thankyou so much for this tip!! Will have to see about fitting in some Slovenia, never even thought of Luxembourg, so will have to look into it!!

[@Drpepperhernandez]

So stoked to see you guys back doing some hopefully relaxed adventure. 🙌🏽

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks, yeah some time chilling is required.

[@Lebelu2007]

Oh and I hope for the day you sneak in 3 coffee montages in a video!

[@phillyandkeely]

We can make that happen!!

[@Drpepperhernandez]

I would definitely support a patreon🌟 behind the scenes, stuff that doesn't make the video cut ✂️

[@phillyandkeely]

Thankyou 💓

[@phillyandkeely]

Thankyou 🥰🥰 excited for you to start some big adventures aswell!! Get out there 🌍💓

[@backpackingJas]

There id a tint to protect the windows from getting broke, that way nobody can destroid your window and get in

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Jas, we actually ordered some before we left and We are planning to fit that tomorrow 💪💪💪 hopefully we will feel less paranoid about it after 🔐🔐🔐

[@saitdesigns]

Awwww we live in Brighton

[@phillyandkeely]

We LOVE Brighton. Our fave city in the UK

[@manconthemove]

Another brilliantly entertaining informative vid. Well done you two 👏🏻. Have an amazing time, see you soon (virtually I meant 😂)

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks man, really appreciate that 🥰🥰 excited to be back on the road 🥳🥳

[@chokolatelatte4764]

Great video. I love the shopping area of Brighton, all the small independent and boho type shops, so much nicer than most UK cities full of chain stores. That looked a lovely place in France and you made me hungry for fresh French bread ❤

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah Brighton feels proper alternative doesn't it, we really love it, such good vibes. Baguettes here are so much better here than UK. Back home they are too sugary stodgy feeling.

[@chrisbolton745]

More France, I so miss it! 😊

[@phillyandkeely]

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@Lebelu2007]

Great episode, loved the ad segment! Only thing is you defo just got a normal baguette out of Lidl, go to a proper artisan bakery and ask for a Baguette Tradition. It should be pointy ended or irregular and It’l be much nicer than the one you had!

[@phillyandkeely]

Love that you are a baguette connisour lmao!! Ok we will have to do that!! Thanks Ben, does this mean we are real KZbinrs now with sponsors 🤣🤣

[@PB_657]

Another great video. I love Brighton too. Was funny seeing you standing in the same spots I’ve been so many times. 12v laptop chargers are way more efficient than using an inverter is my power top tip!!

[@phillyandkeely]

Yeah sadly our laptops aren't able to be charged by 12v, I suppose that's why so many people use Mac's so they can do that

[@PB_657]

@@phillyandkeely Should be possible to get a car charger I would think. I got one for my Dell laptop from eBay. Takes 12v up to 19v for my Dell which is less wasteful than going 240 down to 12v !!

[@phillyandkeely]

Is your Dell chargeable by USBC? I'm intrigued, we have very powerful laptops which I was certain could only be charged by their proper power bank. Will have to research more.

[@christinathenix]

As always I’m left with a smile after watching your content. And lovely to see your subs increasing at a good rate. Have fun you two, and thanks for sharing your trips with us.

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Chris 🥰🥰 so glad we have left you with a smile 💓💓

[@asaandthemarchharepart267]

Wow, we're going on an adventure. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to. Always fabulous to follow, I think I'll stick to making toast in a pan lol 😋 Safe travels both ❤🙏

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks Asa 🥰🥰 we feel very luxury now with our toaster 🤣🤣 perhaps a bit excessive haha, but I have no regrets 🤣🤣

[@cynthiadickey3055]

sundays here in the states .i always look forward to u two . u crack me up i love u two and love to see her eat.

🤣🤣🤣 thanks Cynthia 💓💓 so glad you enjoy the videos

[@joanneoliver1873]

Hi good vibes love watching your adventures xx not that this be good idea now you have toaster but when I was little my family would toast bread straight from the gas ring xx very tasty 😋

[@phillyandkeely]

I've heard this is good!! Thanks for watching Joanne 💕💕

[@bedlam8159]

Check out Amboise then head east to Beaune (Wine Museum)

[@phillyandkeely]

Added to the list now 🥰

[@Aaron-P]

Yay, sponsors!!! Congrats, you guys! 2% of energy per batch, that's 100 pieces of toast from a full charge! 🍞🍞🍞 And not being able to make toast in France would be a real "pain." 😉😉 #frenchpuns Looking forward to this next adventure! ❤️❤️😎👍xx

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Aaron 🥰🥰 so chuffed, feel like real KZbinrs now hahaha. And we genuinely LOVE the product. Enjoy a good pun!! Keep them coming lol.

Omg loved it and so excited for your next big road trip 🤗. The Ecoflow looks epic and so did those psychedelic sofas on the ferry 😂. P.s. footage is bloody crispppppp 😍😍

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks my love 💕 it is crisppppppy isn't it, we love our new camera sooo much 🥰🥰

[@davecolston582]

Plese give my regards to the Chumley-Warners

[@phillyandkeely]

I have no idea what chumley Warner's is, Is that a fish and chip shop? Now I'm very intrigued haha

[@ylvahansson8373]

Interesting take on the EcoFlow, but I think if you have to pay nearly £2k you are less than thrilled with the issues these have. Easier to accept if they send you this for free! I find the fan noise insane on this unit, if you try to watch a bit of KZbin or Netflix for example it’s really intrusive and it kicks off when the temperature is only around 15 centigrade and pulling only 65w! Mine also failed massively when it tried to update firmware and we’ve had multiple other issues (losing all charge, refusing to charge, melted the car charger and damaged my car’s console) that are hard to swallow when you pay their prices. You pay for the convenience of having an all-in-one battery without inverter etc so the faults are unacceptable when you are relying on this for power and I thought that spending the extortionate prices would guarantee that I received a functional and satisfying to use power station. Listening to the noisy fan right now in fact for the 6th or 7th time this morning 🤣

[@phillyandkeely]

Sorry to hear you've had crap experience of it 💔 so far our experience has been really good, but to be fair we have never tried to charge it from car console and not had the fan kick in too many times so far. Will be interesting to see how it holds up in the temperatures in France and keeping us off grid while we are away. We spoke to a few other vanlifers who have tried lots of different ones on the market and the general consensus is that it is the best one out there, but I can't personally compare it to any others. Will be doing a follow up review of it in a month's time so will have to let you know how it is going for us. Fingers crossed we continue having good experience with it, will see what happens on the next firmware update lol. Thanks for the comment, really appreciate hearing other people's experiences of stuff and places etc.

[@sallylewis7521]

Hi we’re looking forward to your next adventures and how you get on with the eco flow ! Which model have you purchased ? And very excited to see it charges from your cigarette lighter maybe a game changer all round wohooooo

[@phillyandkeely]

Thanks so much Sally. We have the delta max, at first we were worried it might be a bit big for the van lol, but with it being able to run both our laptops for so long we are so pleased with it. Cloudy days and dark nights were a killer for us trying to edit, but now we don't have to worry about that 🥰🥰 I know some other vanlifers are really happy with the mini one, we just have two very powerful laptops we both need to run lol, so it all depends on each person's needs.

[@sallylewis7521]

[@jackjack3902]

Am from Glasgow and we are similar a think at people not understanding us lol . wee need subtitles on some of this lol 😂

[@phillyandkeely]

Haha we do need to add subs for the last few videos lmao. KZbin can't understand us either 🤣🤣

[@StefanHill994]

Ecoflow yoke looks class. Can you attach jumpleads. Did you ever try a toasting fork and use the hob gas to toast?

[@phillyandkeely]

Now that would be impressive if we could jump our van from it!!!! Save all our problems lmao! I tried toasting stuff straight on the flame It also seems to smoke the place out, but probably because I'm prone to burning stuff haha. Is a toasting fork what I'm thinking of? The wee four way rack thing that you set on top of the gas, or is this some new contraption I need in my life?

[@Basilbrush207]

Never had much luck with special toast devices for gas hobs. We toast bread in our frying pan on the gas hob. Just add a bit of butter or similar if vegan to stop it singeing and move it around with a wooden spoon. We do tea cakes n crumpets in the same way ✅👍🏻

[@phillyandkeely]

Maybe my problem was not buttering it, I just put it on dry pan, maybe that's the smoke issue lil

Hi I’ve got the same issue with the window blinds… I’ve just gone through your comments and I can’t find anyone that recommended anything… Did they ?? If so, please can you share it with me thanks

[@phillyandkeely]

No solution yet, from what we've seen alot of options appear to be low quality, so definitely keen to hear of one specifically fitted that doesn't just tear at the sucker etc. I've heard of people making their own with magnets for side windows, but not sure about front one. If we find something we love I will link it 🥰

[@jonathandasilva1796]

How will we manage?

[@phillyandkeely]

[@nikitacalvus]

Oh guys next time don't buy your baguette at freakin' Lidl! (By the way "pain" is bread, like "pan" in Spanish - baguette is just one of the many types of bread in France.)

Kelly get some vaseline,rub inside both nostrils,one of kids swears by it, not too many antihistamines bought anymore, it stops you inhaling pollen etc. France is a beautiful country, looking forward to more of your adventures.

Two days 🤣🤣🤣 we have a lot of countries outside Schengen we want to see anyway, but good to know they are there for us to apply for residency in EU if we want next year 🥰🥰
