Goodbyes and a van lifer's WORST nightmare (Ft

[@coryjohnson3429]

I'll bet Ame worries about you guys too. Be safe!

[@CookingAroundTheWorld]

I love your brand of never exaggerating or embellishing anything. In a world that is constantly hyped up, your channel is absolute bliss.

[@leeoconnor123]

That's so scary about the van being set fire to, these are people's lives, no one should be setting fire to anything.. so glad you moved away from there. Keep safe.

[@Karen-bt6lh]

My heart felt so heavy for you Charlotte after saying good bye to Ame. It brought back a memory for me when my oldest daughter was little she would have to fly every summer to visit her dad. I was so worried for her safety when flying. I would leave the airport crying. I like walking around too seeing what others are selling but I also like setting up a table as well. Thanks for taking us around. Love yours and Rob’s company. Good luck on the test Rob!

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you Karen. Thanks have always hated her leaving and there have been many tears over the years! 😂

[@randybeeson3424]

I saw Ami mentioning vans being set on fire not long ago. WTF! Charlotte you are so pretty just like your beautiful daughter. Stay safe please!

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you Randy😊

[@drewmanize212]

Good morning Mr Robert and Mrs Charlotte...what a wonderful warm hug to lovely beautiful Lady Amelise from both of you...I get blue feeling too...I hope and prayed for all of you ( healthy, safety, happiness, success and wealth too...Aaameen 🙏🙏🙏)...may Jesus Christ bless you all the time and forever...Aaameen 🙏🙏🙏

[@mistywallace820]

That was a beautiful comment! Everyone could use prayers and love ❤️ I’m happy to see your love for God and how you express it. Keep up the good work. It’s our job to tell others about Jesus. ❤😊Have a beautiful day.

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you for your prayers Drew. ❤

[@rachelaustin7019]

Vans lit on fire, how terrible! Certainly some aspects to van life I hadn't really thought about! Not all water views. You guys handle it all well. Good luck on you test!

[@merlynnkoehn3971]

Rob and Charlotte, enjoyed going along with you today. I shared the sadness with Charlotte after parting with Ame, but one thing that is obvious and is a treasure, is that you are a close knit family. That's worth more than anything money can buy. My love and prayers are with you all and Ame, God bless you and keep you safe and healthy ❤️🙏

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you Merlynn😊

[@sjwillis1137]

I'm hungry now after watching Charlotte rustle up another divine looking dish . It's nearly 11pm . Gonna be a bag of Walkers crisps 😒 Keep safe , and never go back to that parking spot . Ps Rob . Revision ! 🤞

[@markg99]

Good luck with the test, Rob. Your vocabulary is beautiful!

[@midlifevanlife]

Haha😂 Thank you 😊

[@franksanta-teresa971]

Here in the States, we call that an outdoor fleamarket or swapmeet...

[@Patrick-rc7bm]

Good shout on the parsley an cheese grater trick!

[@midlifevanlife]

I thought it was one of the better ‘hacks’ that I’ve tried😊

[@ptyptypty3]

charlotte and rob .. amazing couple .. amazing people.. our lives are better for knowing them. Thank to BOTH of you and Your Cute little Doggies!! adorable!! now I have to go and Expand my Language and find more synonyms to describe my enjoyment of your videos.. Stay Tuned :) lol

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you 😊

[@natureslittlegifts]

Good call. I would not fancy staying after the van fire.

[@karlniles2249]

Hello Rob and Charlotte, I started watching your Channel through your Daughter Ame and Rob was mentioning that some of the cooking hobs don't work. Have you checked to see if the gas pipes and burners are blocked or rusted? If they are then you will need a wire brush. Keep up the good work and see you in the next video. From London UK 🇬🇧

[@midlifevanlife]

Thanks Carl 😊

[@Jake-vh6jp]

You're one lucky man Rob with Charlottes cooking skills. 🥘🍝🥗

[@rrocketman]

Shocking to see the burnt out van 😟

[@Tanks-Link]

I have had stuffed bell peppers lots but never stuffed tomatoes. Amazing idea.

[@midlifevanlife]

Love a stuffed pepper too😊 They don’t fit in the oven though 😂

[@optix1012]

Good luck on your test Rob!

[@CLB___]

Rob is funny! Loved the stuffed tomatoes

[@lesleykurdi873]

The daffodils are out and it's an exciting time of year, enjoy 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@midlifevanlife]

It really is Lesley 😊

[@a1_d1_a1_m1]

Good Luck with the test Rob !!

[@lstevie7]

Good luck on your test, Rob! I’ve yet to see a grumpy Rob; you’re always pleasant.

[@midlifevanlife]

He edits the videos well 😂

[@joec4871]

Good day from Bronx, New York. Very nice video. I enjoy watching your travels and Ame's too. I saw what you did with the tomatoes , thanks I'm stealing that recipe just like I stole your cool shower setup. I haven't been to Europe since my military days almost 50 years ago, but it still looks nice.. Travel safe..

[@midlifevanlife]

Thanks Joe ! Hope that you enjoy them 😊

[@sunspot7570]

Best of luck on your testing, Mr. Robert, it sounds like you're up and ready for the challenge:) and Charlotte's impressive cooking and presentation just gets better with each episode👌🍲. I know it's tough to part ways, and we hope our favorite van-life family can be together again very soon🤗👍. Sending our strength and comfort for everyone in light of those events you've had to deal with. Glad that you've found safer areas and some nice Spring weather to lift your spirits, and for your peace of mind that you deserve. Thank you again for brightening our week on Monday (and Friday:) we appreciate the hard work and positive light that you all bring. Have a great day☀️🏞🌲🌷

[@IRELANDANDBEYOND33]

You should post coordinates our location of that burning incident it might help save others that terrible experience

[@jamesthatslife1295]

😊liked the rice in red bell peppers looked yummy

[@birdsong1044]

“Itchy anus” wasn’t on my bingo card for this weeks video. 😝😝😝 love the content!

[@helanalurie9962]

I totally feel you when you left Ame. Glad you rather changed car parks. In my country it is too dangerous to stay jn car parks, camping areas safer here. Smiled when you Rob started looking for better words for nice and lovely, etc. Keep it simple, Rob. I am Afrikaans speaking and sometimes wonder if I shouldn't use smarter words to describe things, but if a Brit also keeps it simple, why shouldn't I? Great week to the four of you (kids look absolutely darling!)

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you Helana 😊

[@mistywallace820]

I love you both so much! I have watched Ame for about a year now she’s my favorite van life girl to watch! I am from Birmingham Alabama USA 47 yr old grandmother, I love watching and seeing the things that the south of France has to offer, the inside of the shops, the towns, even the gas stations ha ha! And now love watching you guys explore, I loved the antique sale you guys went to, that piece of furniture and the metal donkeys were AMAZING! ❤ show us more of the surroundings even the little things, our world is so different than yours it’s so fun seeing a difference place! ❤

[@midlifevanlife]

Thanks you very much. The donkeys were fabulous😊

[@SunSunny71]

Much love and prayers, beautiful family. Please stay safe.

[@markg99]

Charlotte's cooking looked delicious as always 🙂👍🏻

[@PP-ob8zr]

Well thanks for the new video....Hope you all will be back together soon. Its lonely on that road I am sure and Ame is like sunshine when she is back together. 😊👍

[@danzbeard]

Rob your vocabulary is exquisite 😁 and good luck! Also, really felt it when you left Ame. Lovely channel, cheers

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you 😊

[@deadfeather9013]

Terrific channel. I’m 46 and alittle envious. I started having children at 40. You’ve done well as parents

[@midlifevanlife]

There are advantages to having our children at whichever stage we manage to 😊 for us, it worked well 😊

[@brianlowther5929]

Dogs are looking amazing after there pamper day, Charlotte that food looked fantastic them pepper things looked out of this world.1 thing that puzzles me is how that red thing works on your hob as a oven,do you put water in the bottom or something 🤔 hope to see happy rob next week good luck, so sad to see that poor camper burnt out. till next week STAY SAFE DRIVE SAFE

[@midlifevanlife]

The red oven just sits on the gas ring 😊 and does it’s thing 😂 It is a good alternative to installing an oven (cheaper too!) It doesn’t really crisp things up like a normal oven but it is great and cleans fairly easily😊

[@cnking38]

My new fav vanners to watch! Love it.

[@midlifevanlife]

Thanknyou😊

[@MJackson1999]

Enjoyable video this week, Rob and Charlotte, thanks. Was sad to see the time come to leave Ame and that you got alittle upset, you can see how much you love your girl and will miss her. Hopefully you can pass through and meet again in the next month or so. Do you manage to keep in touch and check in with Ame each week? I know its not the same as in person but atleast can speak and know how things are going 🙂 Its nice how you prioritise the dogs and get them to the spa for a groom, but no treats for yourselves. They do look amazing now. You should treat yourselves to something once in a while, as much as money permits, hopefully YT and Patreon is helping abit and its early days. That looked a real feast with the peppers, another fine recipe put together! I absolutely love Flapjacks, my fave cake! Especially home made. Hope you enjoyed it. Keep safe out there and take care.

[@midlifevanlife]

Thanks Michael. I will demo the flapjack in the next few weeks. It does work out quite well in the oven😊

[@susansharp112]

❤ i understand my daughter just left from a visit and I felt the same way.

[@johnmonteleone6173]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO.YOUR LIFE STYLE IS PERFECT.YOUR DOGS ARE SO PRECIOUS.DON,T CHANGE A THING.HAVE A GREAT WEEK,STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS.

[@midlifevanlife]

Thanks John😊

[@istvanbally2817]

Looking forward to the flapjack episode! Real men ARE grumpy, nothing wrong with that. 😎

[@susantaylor147]

Good luck with the test...when you've passed it at least you will have more freedom to roam 👌😀 Love the banter! Charlotte's face when you left Ame...made me think of leaving my mom when I emigrated to the Netherlands at 18! Take care 🤗❤

[@brendapurpura1129]

Of course you passed. Doggies looked so cute groomed. Great video. It's always hard to say goodbye to your child. We all love ami too

[@brendapurpura1129]

Ame. Sorry

[@linajensen4476]

Love watching your channel the two of you are so comical and so refreshing to watch you both did a wonderful job on raising Ame. She is a joy to watch her so please stay safe.🙏🥰

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you Lena😊

[@brian9480]

👍 up for test mate!! All the best 🤘🤘

[@tamitarekolayan9918]

Hoping for a smiling Rob!! I think your always happy!! Good luck! Keeping fingers crossed!! 🤞🤞🚐🚐

[@charlesvachon5838]

Lovely looking meal and nice parsley trick🥬 ...Thank you!

[@PazmanBC]

That dinner looked great! That stovetop oven/pot seems to work quite well.

[@midlifevanlife]

It does work pretty well. Thanks 😊

[@peterrichardson4192]

Great video they get better each time. Its Snowing hear in the UK and i have frost bite in two toes. All the heat goes to the top and the floor is freezing. Am insanely jealous.

[@tracyinaz]

Y’all are the best! 😊😊😊

[@Little_Sidhe]

Dogs are on fleek, enjoyed Charlotte's cooking slot as per usual.

[@Richard-qg5hh]

You might want to consider a narcos alarm Rob, France can be really bad particularly in the the south for van owners being gassed and robbed. It's just one of the negatives to living in a van. Hope you get the hob sorted and are cooking on full gas soon, Charlotte is a very good cook, dinner never looks boring, stay safe guys, Richard

[@midlifevanlife]

Thanks for the tip Richard😊

[@fredricjulien8738]

Good luck Rob! 🍀I'm hoping for a happy Rob next video over a grumpy Rob. 😊 The dog's look so cute after their visit to the groomer. 🐕🐕❤

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you Fredric 😊

[@johnriveire]

I pray for all three of you guys every evening I could not imagine how yall must feel every time that you leave sight of your precious amie. ❤if she was mine and I was responsible for her well being she would be protected by me with a gun at all times and I would have the training to be able to teach her to protect her self also. I have been following the three of you from the beginning and I am from Texas were we try hard not to be venerable to evil. Just thought I'd say be safe and think about self defense class and training for safety

[@lolagrace6683]

You guys totally light up my Monday evening, not joking I love you guys so much, loves Coco and Lily's grooming, both look stunning afterwards , Charlotte's cooking oh mine so yummy, another great ideas thank you Charlotte for sharing with us, Rob I will keep my fingers crossed for you, I know we will get a happy Rob next week wink wink I know you will pass with flying colours!! Have a great week both of you and see you soon next video, never a dull moment with you guys, funny thing when I watch you guys, I feel I am there with you, so so nice 😊

[@midlifevanlife]

You are very kind Lola😊

[@dilbobegin69]

Love the music during the cook!

[@dpmart3275]

That food looked 👍 Lady enjoy the adventures. You two go on Thanks for the share

[@stevenhartley7659]

Caught most of the recipe on this video we'll be trying it later this week. Look delicious and I will be cooking outside of the oven since you also did and it turned out so well

[@midlifevanlife]

Thanks Steve. Hope that you enjoy them 😊

[@fauchejuliano]

Here in the north of europe, we had some "jokers" with big trucks, scaring the hell out of people with small cars or small caravans. They did so by almost crushing us inbetween two trucks. With "almost" I mean 10 cm or less. Two weeks ago, the joke went wrong, and they really crashed a little suzuki with two people inside, completely. One is dead, the other in the hospital. Stay safe, and don"t post a video until after you've left a place. Take care, and "ciao les copains"!

[@midlifevanlife]

There really are some awful people out there. Thanks for watching

[@fauchejuliano]

@@midlifevanlife I also know a truckdriver who plays country music on his Martin guitar. (not while he's driving ofcourse). C'est la vie say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell!

[@debspaul6635]

Great videos from you and your daughter , our van nearly completed and will spending lots of time in france great to see your adventures, thank you for sharing

[@midlifevanlife]

That is great! Good luck with your touring 😊

[@jypsigal1]

Thankfully you went to walk the dogs and found that van so was able to move on before anything bad happened to yours. Do you ever worry about putting your camera down to do your walking shots (which are great, sets yours and Ame's vlogs apart from the rest) esp in a busy place like that market. Another enjoyable vlog, thanks.

[@StephenOshea]

well i guess you have to part ways from your daughter to make your own videos and thats a exciting new adventure for you both . great video loved the outdoors and nature scenery . bravo

[@midlifevanlife]

Thanks 😊

[@steviesmiler]

Lily and coco look very smart after their groom. 🐶🐶 My Yorkie will be getting her seasonal groom this week. Good luck with your French test, Rob 🤞🏻

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you Stevie. They are quite pleased with thenselvws😂

[@shogun666able]

The cooking Charlotte does for what she does it on looks fantastic, maybe find the time to product a one pan meal book.

[@midlifevanlife]

Thanks Arthur 😊

Owww I love a Brocante. Always grab a bargain.

[@danazaruba268]

All the best on your exam! I’m rooting for you!

[@martyperry5250]

Great video! It is never, never easy to say goodbye and you never ever stop worrying about your child. OMG I so want to crawl through the phone and eat dinner with you guys. Great looking dishes as always. I don’t know how you stay so fit and trim Rob. Good luck with your test. Stay safe! See you next week.

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you Marty😊

[@pumagutten]

Another lovely video! The food did look tempting, Charlotte, so don't sell yourself short!❤ Rob, you are allowed to be grumpy, when people behave like eejits!

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you 😊We both definitely have a grumpy quota😂

[@victorkreitner754]

I could see by Ame" body language she was sad to see you two go. She's so sweet to watch on her videos and I'm sure you're very proud of her with Gloria and Gigi. Looking forward to seeing you 3 reunite for more good times on video. God bless you all in 2023.

[@sonjadlong7554]

ADORABLE 🐾🐾🐾🐾 I like that stuff tomato and rice dish yum 👍 curious about the cheese choice?

[@midlifevanlife]

Cheddar- a controversial option! Gruyère would also be great

[@nienkevanhal]

I’ve been watching with fascination. I’m only three years younger than Charlotte and running around a yoddler. At first I was amazed by the idea of having an adult daughter travelling around at this age, but this vid taught me that as mothers we stay feeling so attached and worried when we can’t care for them, even when they’re adults. Love your vids, and Ames as well. Keep it up (and keep adding tge cooking!)

[@midlifevanlife]

Thank you Nienke. I really do struggle with worrying about her. It never changes, no matter the age 😊

[@ralphraffles1394]

You guys do a great vlog. Appreciate it, cheers.

[@carolyncarson1671]

All the best on your test Rob! Charlotte, love the parsley tip. Terrifying about the van burning.

[@lisahopper3499]

You guys are getting good at this vlogging business. The doggies looked beautiful. Had my two Pom poms groomed for the first time in January. Saved me so much stress. Hope you get back to Ame and Gigi soon. Take care. 🤗✨💚✨🫶

[@midlifevanlife]

We love poms. Our next fave breed of dog 😊

[@cyndeeh]

Good luck on your test! How come you HAD TO go back to the cold? Love it when your wife(I forgot her name,sorry)cooks! I'm a excellent cook,and always learn something new from her! Be safe guys! Hugz!

It turned out to be not as cold as we feared 😊

Really appreciate it!!!

Enjoy your content thank you, I live in Spain and there are very few things I miss about the UK flapjack is one of them ha guess I could have ago at making myself will wait for your vid.

[@midlifevanlife]

It will be on in a few weeks😊

[@stevenhartley7659]

Maybe a conclusion about the airport situation. Not many people like living near an airport so that is why business parks and recreational areas are set up near airport because that is prime land for that type of place since no one wants to build their homes there.

[@stevenhartley7659]

Oh yeah I almost forgot good luck rob on your test.

[@keithwestgate1390]

Been watching your videos for a bit (little black Honda acti van) I do think underlying it must be a real stress parking up every night...and that in turn changes the real way you are as people because you are obviously really a really nice family, but to me it's obviously stressing Ameilise and you Mum. You are constantly worried about her..... Just my observation... You all have my 100% support... Keith Norwich.

[@midlifevanlife]

You are correct Keith. I am constantly worried.

[@mitchducky962]
