Isle of Man Ep 9 A bad day for Carol

[@ThoseHappyDays]

Carol is a trooper! Aside from her resilience against adversity, we always comment on her strength, patience and adventurous spirit. Another fabulous video from Team Carol & Ken. Thank you 🙌

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you so much Janine and Liam for your lovely comment. The delicious meal we had was a great consolation 😁

[@sheilaUK]

So glad Carol is fine, lovely video as always. I wanted to email you both with a private message but you wouldn’t want to be inundated with messages from subscribers so guess there’s no way to do that. I just wanted to express heart-felt thanks to you both, I’ve loved watching all your videos (and will continue to do so!), I am retired and live alone and with arthritis threatening my future plans to campervan around the UK myself! (that and Covid)., Carol and Ken, you’ve got me through lockdown and cheered me up no end. Thank you xx

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hi Sheila, thank you so much for your lovely comment, it is much appreciated. Sorry to hear you are not able to get out in your campervan. Sending you all our best wishes and thanks for watching ❤️

[@midlifewithem3804]

I agree Sheila, this channel is an absolute tonic 😎 Sorry to hear of you’re arthritis, don’t give up on you’re dream, hope the drs can help xx

[@sheilaUK]

Thank you Em 😊

[@sarahstrong7174]

Some people find Acupuncture really helps with arthritis. Acupuncture can be expensive but if you have a community acupuncture project near you, they can be substantially less costly.

[@mrswelsh2467]

Absolutely gutted to see Carol hurt, there was something heartwarming to see her enjoy a chip with Diane sauce! Something quite emotional about the video tonight, think the music added to it and the serene walk back, very nearly brought a tear….certainly a lump in the throat. The world needs more Ken and Carols. X Amy Paul & Ted 🐾

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Awww thank you so much Amy, Paul and Ted, glad you enjoyed it 😍

[@tonywood260]

Lovely photography and music. Heal well Carol. x

1) I exhort all folk to undertake an annual Advanced First Aid course with St John's Ambulance. 2) I recommend everyone should carry a first aid kit however it should be a container of your choice and filled with the things you want and need. Retail first aid kits are stuffed with profit makers and not stuff you need. 3) Peel castle eh ? Built by Sir Robert no doubt.... 4) Scrumptious meals. 10 points. :-)

[@annehamilton367]

Sorry to see your mishaps Carol. Take care. Hope you are feeling better. Good to see Ken looking after you.

[@michellecook2855]

Sad to see you hurt Carol, wood can be slippy in wet weather. Isle of Man looks so peaceful, Im adding this to my places to visit. Shame the ferry cost is so high. Looking forward to next vlog.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hi Michelle. You could probably get a much cheaper ferry if you book in advance and book a return ticket, around £290.

[@frankstabler1920]

Very happy to see that Carol was not badly injured.

[@williehannon9306]

Poor Carol. Sincerely hope you've made a full recovery. Best wishes from Ireland

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Willie, fully recovered now. Greetings to Ireland 👍🙂

[@margaretconnery7422]

Carol you have Ken spoilt, a bit like what my mum and dad were like. Oh dear Carol not a great start to your day bless you. I burnt my finger earlier, on the oven. I love visiting churches and castles. Awh i remember visiting that school with my mum. Poor carol you've been in the war's today. Hope tomorrow is a better day xxx ❤️💙🌹

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you for your lovely comment Margaret. Hope your finger is OK ❤️

[@getawaygeese]

One of those Carol to hide in the van …. Glad it wasn’t more serious …scars of Vanlife video in a few years ….the island definitely has a laid back feel which for me is great. Peel castle looks interesting . Superb drone shots - colours are so good

[@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot]

What a colourful little place with all the painted houses. Poor Carol, twice in one episode.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Mike and Trish. That’ll teach us for talking when driving round Devil’s Elbow 😱

[@catherinegerdes7272]

Have mercy! What a rough day for poor Carol! Super glad she was ok! Thank you as always for such beautiful videos of the magical places you explore….I sincerely hope you both know how much you lift spirits carrying us along with you….each video is a bright and peaceful respite in my day! Best wishes and stay safe!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Aww thank you Catherine for such a lovely comment. We are so happy that you enjoy watching what we get up to on our travels ☺️

So glad to hear Carol is fine….👍🇮🇲

[@Wizardinthewild]

Poor Carol. She certainly did the job properly when she fell over! Pleased she’s all OK now. Enjoyed your vlog as always. 🧙‍♂️😊

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Ellie and Graham 😀

[@whiskeycook3323]

Carol seems like such a nice person,sorry for her mishaps, hope she is on the mend. Really hope her injuries weren’t serious. Beautiful drone footage. Thank you for another lovely video

[@karenhetherington3585]

Ah, poor Carol, so pleased she recovered well from her two mishaps. Your videos never disappoint always a delight to watch full of info and beautiful scenery. Take care and safe travels.👍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you so much Karen. Take care 😀

[@garyhalkon8749]

I always say when arriving back on IoM that it's a different time zone known as "Manx Time" where the pace of life slows down.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Very true. Wonderful to experience that.

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Another brilliant video. Looking forward to the next one. Take care of yourselves

[@the-other-windsors]

In the words of Neil Sadarka.. "Oh Carol". You poor wee soul. Felt your pain with the trapped finger and pleased to hear you are OK. Made of tough stuff and by the way, chips always taste better when they're stolen!

[@musicalmarion]

So sorry you hurt yourself Carol, I hope you're ok now. Nasty falling over but at least there were no onlookers! Peel looks so peaceful and the sunset was beautiful. I've so enjoyed your trip to IOM it's been lovely watching every single episode, thank you 😊

[@LifeistooshortCK]

So glad there was no one around to see me fall! Thanks for watching, there will be more of Peel in the next episode 🙂

[@Randomstuff78-x8q]

So glad to hear carol is ok

[@naddy37]

Poor Carol. I hope she’s all well now. Another excellent vlog. And as always, looking forward to future episodes x

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Nadine 🙂

[@drewski363]

Bless you, Carol. Hope you feel better soon. Loved the old Tynwald: there's something very special about that place.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Andy, fully recovered now. It was a great privilege to walk up the steps at Tynwald Hill.

[@jacquelinebell9186]

Poor Carol! 😮 I was worried she was going to have a third mishap, when you were both walking in the rain and on stone steps. Glad you had a lovely meal. Nice trip. 😊

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you Jacqueline, I am being extra careful in the wet from now on 😀👍

[@RODPIKERDRONESUK]

Thanks for sharing Ken and carol glad you are ok carol take care and be safe 👍

[@thlim1460]

Double whammy for Carol but luckily to see she escaped albeit some light cuts. Great park up you found with a nice sunset. 👍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Yes it was! Thanks for watching 👍🙂

[@TheRobtrident]

I spent 7 years over there. Working and living in my motorhome. Lovely place and great wildlife.

[@martinsmith3354]

Hope Carol has recovered fully

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Fully recovered now thank you Martin 👍😀

[@Zoompipes]

Hello from America I love watching you love the adventure thank you so much for taking us along ps I'm so glad Carol is ok hugs and prayers can't wait for the next adventure

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hello. We love America. I have a load of video from route 66 waiting to be edited. 👍

[@dmarcouxbeatty374]

Carol, you have my deepest sympathy! Had a day like this a few weeks ago. In the morning wrapped my toes on the footboard of the bed. Just after lunch. Fell up the steps. Smacked my kneecap. Finishing up the dishes after dinner. Closed the dishwasher on my finger. Saved the nail. Broke the finger. My husband said. I don't like where this is going. At bedtime it will be your neck. My reply. Way ahead of you. I'm going to bed now! My husband tucked me into bed with a nice hot toddy and a book. He has my vote for husband of the year! Thank you for showing this trip. I am adding the Isle of Man to our list. Feel better and be safe.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I feel for you. Some days things just don’t go well! Your husband is a treasure and glad he took good care of you. Hope you are well on the road to full recovery. Take care, Carol x❤️

[@tillygirl7450]

When Carol was explaining how she hurt her finger 5:40, Ken was very helpful, "I'll tell you what you shouldn't do that". 😄 Ken you were great at being so attentive to Carol😊💖. I love this video and the photography too. I've just subscribed. Look forward to seeing more and looking back to your older videos.😊💖

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you so much Tilly. Ken says by cracking jokes it takes your mind off the pain 😁

[@chrishughes7315]

Glad all is well Carol. Peel is such a lovely place. Seeing your videos is bringing it all back to us from when we lived there last year. Such a beautiful Island. Looking forward to your next video 👍👍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Chris. We really enjoyed visiting Peel, there will be some more from there in the next episode 🙂

[@petecotton7962]

Glad to hear Carol is OK and I hope there is no lasting damage. Lovely seeing you enjoying a meal in Filbys, it really is a fantastic place. Judging by the timeline of the Vlogs, it appears you were in Peel around the same time as me. I am awaiting the next instalment with great anticipation. Looking forward to which part of this fantastic Island you are going to visit next. By the way, those Peel sunsets are some of the best in the world.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Loved our meal at Filbey’s, especially after the day we had had! The sunset was magical ❤️

[@moirabardin9030]

carol you should of got yourself checked out in pharmacy or doctors, to make sure everything was ok. I luv all the views and that was some walk you done on the way back from your meal, I luv passing the shops and the sea view was great, especially of a night time with all the lights on. have a nice day 😊

[@Wheres_wanda_wandering]

Carol I can’t believe you injured yourself twice in one day. Glad to hear that you are ok now. Park ups looked great and the meals looked amazing. Take care Gill

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Gill, I couldn’t believe it either! That meal certainly helped cheer up the day 😀

[@Teamcampervan]

Wow poor Carol in the war’s, I’m so glad she’s ok. Sometimes it’s the price you pay for being an explorer. Keep safe both of you. 👍🏼

Thank you Mark. Carol the explorer 😁

Thanks Ted, fully recovered now. 👋👋

Poor Carol, can fully empathise,I did a similar thing a few weeks ago, I was shaken for the rest of the day. I'm pleased you had a lovely meal later. Wonderful video as always thankyou xx

[@WiltshireMan]

It's a good job we don't know whats around the next corner with regards to mishaps, cos if we did I doubt we would do much!!! Apart from the mishaps this was a lovely peaceful vlog and quite cinematic at times:)

Can I just say what a pleasure these videos are. I stumbled across your channel today and I've whiled away a lazy Saturday afternoon/evening watching the first nine episodes of your Isle of Man trip. I love these sort of travelling adventures and, having never been to the IoM before, I've been really interested to see it close up. I love the personal nature of it, from the campervan arrangements, the mealtimes, to the scenery and the stunning drone shots. It really feels like I'm along for the ride! Thanks to both of you for sharing your travels with us and I look forward to seeing the rest of this trip and many more. :)

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. We are glad you like our style of videos and hope you enjoy some of our other trips aswell as the Isle of Man. Thanks for watching, Paul 🙂👍

Peel looks a fantastic place to visit, this is certainly somewhere we could spend a few days.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

So many lovely places on the Isle of Man 🙂

[@ManxAndy]

Peel is our Jewel in the isle…..we all love going there , either for a walk round the castle at sunset, or to take in one of the many public houses…..of which there are many, 7 at the last count, and all but one of them do really good food ….. The Marine and the Creek being the best…….Filbeys as restaurants go, is amongst the best on the island 👍🇮🇲. Ps the sunsets over Peel are the best ever, it just shows the island off for what it is, stunningly beautiful 👍🇮🇲💖

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Andy. We thought Peel was beautiful. Lots to see and do there and the meal at Filbey’s was first class. Hopefully we showed off the sunset to its best - spectacular 😍
