I really enjoyed this video. Great day to be seeing all the beautiful things. Thanks so much. Hope that you both have a wonderful day. Keep up the great work you are doing.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you! You too!

[@mmwaashumslowww7167]

I never realised just how beautiful Stanmer Park is. I lived in Sussex for 39 years and only ever went past there. Thanks for choosing this for your day out, absolutely lovely!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We were surprised too. Having both lived most of our lives in Sussex it was the first time we had been there!

[@katewebber1131]

Certainly relaxing guy's , so professionally done, great job. ❤❤❤.

[@maryg.249]

Definitely a place to visit if you live near the area! Now our summer days are gone! On to winter and til spring (for us) no camper traveling. I’ll travel with you both while sitting cozily in my warm house. Mary

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Cosy down and come with us to Norway 👍

[@welshcake1271]

What can I say? Another brilliant professional , informative and entertaining vlog…..you never fail to impress me with your fabulous travelogues. Thank you both , for letting us into you lives. I am sure there are a lot of motorhome vloggers out there ,who aspire to be this good. You have set the benchmark Ken and Carol, you are definitely the best on You Tube by a mile. Thank you both

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Wow, thank you! That is very kind of you to say so 😊

[@angelanicholson951]

A beautiful place, and i hope people protect it.

Another great video & what a lovely place never heard of it until now 😀........

[@paulinewayland713]

One garden looks amazing!!

[@the-other-windsors]

Thanks for taking us along again guys. M' dad (as we says in Yorkshire) was well into steam. Had a vintage threshing machine and I went to many steam fairs as a girl. His nick name was "Oily George" cause his flat cap was so impregnated with oil and his trousers were held up with Billy band. Think Fred Dibnah!! 🙂🐕🚙

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Lovely people tinker with those old machines. I bet he was a character 👍

Good tip about the park. My daughter has lived in Stanmer Park Road for the past year so it was nice to realise where the name came from. BTW I gather I just missed you at Sussex Campervans when our van was in for its habitation check last week. Bugger.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We were there quite some time as well. Sorry we missed you 👍

[@sarkybugger5009]

It's turtles all the way down! 😉

I've just put this area on my 'Want to go' on Google maps. Lovely! Will save it for when I'm next in the south of the country!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Well worth a visit 🙂👍

[@davidmarshall5596]

Watching your terrific vlog on a miserable Saturday am in Bolton & enjoying every minute with a cuppa tea 🍵 & dunking biscuits 😋 you made a very interesting point regarding how lucky you are to live in Sussex. I have never been but it looks very beautiful 😍. You know people travel all over the world 🌎 & right in there doorstep is marvellous countryside. We have The Trough of Bowland..Yorkshire Dales & last but by no means least the exquisite Lake District were it doesn't come much nicer especially on days like you encountered there. Excellent drone 🍜 footage 2nd to none.Thanks for making a shitty am a lot brighter. Keep up this very enjoyable & soothing channel 😊👌

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you David. You are so right about the beautiful countryside we have in this country 🙂👍

[@derekmoore6392]

I loved the song that was playing when you were walking in the One Garden, what is it called, I want to add it to our playlist to listen to when we are driving around in our Campervan that we also bought from Sussex Campervans. Thank you Carol & Ken we get great enjoyment from watching your stories.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

The music we use is listed in the video description. Thanks for watching and hope you have fun in your campervan 😀

[@maggiesamuels2937]

Awwww! Happy memories of Stanmer Park mum use to take us kids there for picnics I was born and bred in Brighton not far away from Stanmer Park. Thanks for memories Ken and Carol. Sussex has beautiful countryside your lucky to be living there I live in London now and don't get much chance to get down to Sussex unfortunately.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Glad we could bring back some happy memories for you Maggie. We enjoyed our day out in Stanmer Park 😀

[@crawfordg]

Hi Carol and Ken, what a location! It's not too far from maybe next Spring will take a run over there and enjoy the sights. A like the idea of the tented area for those of us that are too keen on the sun. Regards Crawford

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Well worth a visit Crawford. Thanks for watching 🙂

Beautiful vidéo, Park etc. Love your videos, they are relaxer, beautiful and informative. You are one of the few couples close to our age, much younger but older than all the KZbinrs. . .Your interests and life style is close to ours. We dont have a beautiful van like yours, we have à converted Grand Caravan. We are still looking for the Ridge Monkey, there are some copies, but we want the original. Love your recipies. Happy trails and thanks for sharing.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Nichola 🙂

[@flapbean]

Hi guys! Bit of local Intel, you’re first stop off / recce is a micro climate too. It hit -13’c a few years back when everywhere else was -6’c! The flats sections on the Ditchling hill were engineered to give the horses a rest. I didn’t realise the gardens were open, must visit. Thank you for another great video.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for the info Jason, we didn’t know any of that. Very interesting about the micro climate 🙂👍

[@suestone7791]

Hello both! Thankyou for a lovely vlog. Sussex is not an area we know well but Stanmer park looks well worth a visit if we venture that way. Gardening is our hobby so always look for them to visit if away on holiday. You were right abought acanthus , we had one in our garden but had to lose it as it runs everywhere! We also have the hypericum ( rose of Sharon), it really is beautiful. What a gorgeous summer we had, nice to see sunny skies again now the weather is turning wintry.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We would definitely recommend a visit if you are down in Sussex. We soon forget how lovely the summer was, especially on rainy days like today 🌧🙁

[@johnbastien3872]

Nice tour today.

[@georgewinters3191]

Great adventure again 😀. I couldn’t help shouting to the screen as you took the top of the brush and pushed it out ‘don’t touch the brush ends with your fingers’ …but alas you did. As a photographer I use those too . I have oily hands and touched the brush with my hand it was useless afterwards cause it would leave an oily smudge on the lense 😂.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Even Carol ripped me off for that 🙄😁👍

[@KatelynsAdventures707]

Hi Carol & Ken, what a lovely area, thanks for sharing. In all my travels in Uk I’ve not been to Sussex, maybe next time. Looking forward to your next series. I must get that flower app Carol. Yes we do have those yellow flowers down under, they are in bloom right now in WA. Take care 🙏 🌼 💛

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Glad to hear that app is accurate about those flowers 👍 We would recommend Sussex as a tourist destination next time you are in the UK. Have you seen our other Sussex videos in our playlists? Thanks for watching 🙂

[@nidge2822]

Hi Carol & ken what a beautiful place Sussex is ,your very lucky to live there ,its good to see you both out and about 😁💗

The beautiful Sussex countryside, The Stanmer Organic plots look interesting from your drone & satellite (via Google Earth) The old cater collection structure looks interesting, too

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We found the whole park very interesting. That water catcher is thought to be one of only two remaining in the UK. So very rare indeed.

[@MrJckDoo]

Lovely Vlog Carol & Ken. Went past that place a few times, but would not have known anything about it. 1st few times I used Dieppe to Newhaven ferry I used to go that way to Portsmouth, Salsbury and on to Bath going home via Fishguard. I also used to go up to Guilford and Basingstoke to Reading. Lovely to see the English countryside again. I believe Norway is your next adventure. Beautiful there.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Rupert. Yes, stay tuned for Norway, coming soon 🙂

Great vid guys

[@karenchapman2561]

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM ..aaaaaaaahhhhhh.... very pleasant outing, ta! (Though I have never heard Hypericum being called that before; to me Rose of Sharon is pink-flowered member of the Hibiscus family. I guess as a common/colloquial name, it might apply to several species...) Now we eagerly await the next, as you teased us with a hint of a new bed topper... 😉YAM xx

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks YAM. I’m not sure how accurate that Seek App is. Sometimes it only identifies a genus. You would know more about it than us ☺️👍

[@carolross6583]

Stanmer has only just started the parking fees. The one garden has only been open for about a year. The area was mainly very old glass houses. As you entered at the Lower Lodges, the cafe and car park there has only been opened for about a year too. For many years you could park for free.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Carol, we didn’t know that 🙂👍

[@jayoneill1533]

Ken, I see you received a new lens brush and like everyone does, you ran your finger over it. Try not to do that because oil from your skin gets on it and reduces the effectiveness. It works best if it’s 100% clean.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Carol told me off for that as soon as I did it 😁👍. I wasn’t thinking 👍

[@kentullis25]

Nice video today! I'm always amazed how narrow some European roads are. Did you get the problems on your van fixed? KZbin showed me a video a couple days ago of a flexible solar panel that had caught fire and burnt a hole in the RV roof below it - scary!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Yes, the van is all sorted, thanks. That is a bit worrying about the solar panel. We have just had a habitation service so hopefully ours will be OK 🤞
