[@susenjarvis8281]

Carol did great on her excursion to the tower and other area's. I'm sure that we all watched her the whole way.

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

Carol you deserve a medal 🏅 for making it to the tower, and a great tour you gave us of the castle👍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Mike and Trish 🙏😀

Loved the Castle , Im like Carol. I love history

[@blogeyblog]

Ken and Carol I just wanted to say a huge thank you for taking the time and effort to put together such entertaining and pleasant videos. As a disabled person I don't get out much and your video log of your exploits and travels is something that I look forward to seeing. They are well made, with great facts about the areas visited, I love the drone footage and most of all I love seeing your campervan and how you've made it work for you, simply amazing. Thank you both immensely.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you so much Nichola for your lovely comment it is much appreciated. We are glad you enjoy the videos and are happy to have you join us on our travels. Take care ❤️

[@Sushi2735]

You both work very hard to bring us all these beautiful videos of places I would never see otherwise. Thank you so much for the dedicated work you do! PS. As an American I just can’t get my head around something built 1000 yrs ago. We are tiny specks in the march of time.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We enjoy making them and we can look back on them when the travel ends 👍

[@robertsworld4549]

If I recall from a much earlier vlog, Carol doesn't particularly enjoy doing the video. Well, Carol, you have done an excellent job, even if this isn't your normal cup of tea.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Carol is learning more and more each day and as you have noticed she is beginning to enjoy filming her walks ❤️👍

[@Fred317]

Carol is a real trooper. Way to push through those achy muscles. Please be careful hiking alone though.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Carol has radio contact with me and I know where she is going so if she ever got concerned I would be there very soon. The Isle of Man is a very safe place, other places she wouldn’t walk alone. 👍

[@paulfisher7911]

well done carol for showing me your adventures and ken keep them coming as i do so enjoy your videos

Lovely video again, Carol I liked that Crypt lol. I wouldn't fancy spending the night there though! Gosh those mediaeval ruins are fascinating. Such a lot of great information, thank you, and Ken I love the music you use for the vlogs. They're all SO interesting! 🥰

[@LifeistooshortCK]

There are voices shouting in that crypt and a dog whining by the statue in in the guard house. We didn’t add any sound effects only a bit of music. Spooky.

[@clareclark6535]

I heard help me 😲 I heard the dog whine too.

As an ageing Paramedic and due to burn out , your channel has brought me a great amount of calmness and less stressful feeling to me . As a fellow camper I love your approach to living in a small camper and with excellent advice also . Loved the Scotland , IOM and Ireland vids . Keep up the great work and thanks again to you both .

Your could wack a car park on that corner and still have room drive round. 27:37in How'd Snoopy go down there?

Had a laugh about the tux's and ball gowns... Nice to hear Vikings get a mention. Half mast flags at RNLI mean a ship mate has passed away or been killed in action. Or perhaps they're sick of being a taxi service for the dinghy divers ? The lamb and veg looked the business. Enjoyed, thanks :-)

Another nice tour of the Isle of Man showing what a beautiful and special place it is. Good to see you enjoyed our Manx Lamb. A gourmet dish indeed (better than Welsh and NZ.) Shame you missed the other Peel delicacies Davison's Ice Cream (on the prom) NO additives under Manx purity laws and of course Manx Kippers which you drove past twice as you crossed the bridge over Peel harbour. Another delicacy are "Queenies" (Queen Scallops.) shame you missed them. (The fishing boats you see with what look like worn sides are caused by the scallop nets being dragged over the gunnels.) The ducks you filmed were Eider ducks (famed for Eider down). Next!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for all the info Olive. Interesting about the fishing boats as we saw lots with the worn sides.

[@winniewotsit4452]

Just found these video's. Great to see the Island once again. The small white cottage along the beach at Niarbyl is locally known as Florie Forde's Cottage. Further along, along the headland, you would find the 'White' beach. Beyond that the mountain plunges steeply down to the sea. Apparently, during WW2, German submarines would sometimes surface along there at night and a shore party go ashore to replenish fresh water from the hillside streams. Niarbyl is pronounced Ni-arble by the way - and Dalby said like Dolby. Just saying, not that it matters. Some great choices of background music on these video's by the way. Thanks for sharing your adventures...
