The more I watch you both, the more impressed I am by your cheerful demeanour, and your interest in even the smallest things. No one else would be interested in a shingle bank off the beach, but you are, and it is a marvellous quality in these covid times, You manage to find beauty and interest right on the doorstep, you don't drive or fly hundreds of miles, but have your reduced your horizons to the local area and found it still worthwhile. And no one else would park up for the night on an industrial estate in freezing cold and wet December, but you do, and you salvage memories out of the kind of areas and experiences that most people would just pass by. We have a little red campervan on order, a VW California Coast. And can't wait to do the kind of things you are doing !

Thanks for that Andrew. You are right we do take more time to focus on the smaller things because once you start looking there is so much stuff around you no matter where you are. There is a lot more to Selsey that we didn’t get to show so we will be going back there at some point. Being a film maker helps as well as we are constantly looking out for things to show 👍

As the previous comment , its so relaxing watching your videos, It must be 40 years since I last saw Selsey and Selsey Bill, In a previous life I was a sales rep, not the hated variety, I really enjoyed it at the time, I could show off to my mates with a series of nice new company cars then like we all ,I grew up, living in South London I travelled all over the South down as far as Selsey, Caravan land we used to call it, there seemed to be statics everywhere, i liked driving in those days, I still do, but the traffic nowadays can be a problem, look forward to the next trip, take care you too, regards, Colin.

Really my hat off to you and Carol xx All the wonderful adventures you've had in your Micro Little Red Camper, though cozy I think I would struggle long term even though you have benefits for stealth and access to locations I could not get too ?? ( I Love my Permanent Bed ) LOL I know you love your LRC And it shows individuality regarding personnel needs/wants etc But even with the limitations you still enjoy x and that's all that counts, and still have the ability to produce really wonderful vlogs xx The Drone/Bird warning is so valid. I had ( Out of the blue ) a Hawk strike my drone in Greece on 2 occasion over the sea before i managed to escape and Land. A bit hairy to say the least . Have a really smashing Christmas Ken/Carol xx Stephen.

Funny to see one of our ambulances sitting on roadside cover outside the carpark you used at Selsey seafront , we usually use a care home which we have a small room set aside for us but due to the current pandemic Selsey is road side cover until further notice. Crews love Selsey cover as it's a remote place that needs covering due to poor response times - hence an ice cream and nice views for crews waiting for there next call! - Great video :)

I noticed they kept returning to that spot after dealing with calls. I used to do the same in the response car back in my policing days. We didn’t have designated spots then and were free to explore and pick the best spots. These days they don’t get much time to park up as they have a queue of jobs lining up. 👍

We enjoyed many years travelling in various sizes of caravan, gradually getting bigger with each upgrade. Then in 2019 we had a complete change of heart and ordered our campervan, not really knowing if we would cope in such a small space. We can honestly say it has been so much fun touring in the little red camper that we wish we had made the change from caravans years ago. Whatever you decide to do have a long and happy retirement and safe travels 🙂👍

Hello you two. What a treat that you can use your van in winter. A bit to snowy here, and without a heater we could not do more than one night I think. We are finally getting some Christmas snow today here in Mt Tremblant, QC. 5 inches. Wouldn’t it helped with the humidity if you opened your two windows a bit for the night? We also have a small marine solar vent and those two help a lot. I herd about the new virus strain on your continent. So take good care of you and have a nice Christmas holiday. Thanks for the gift you give us every week. Danielle from the little white van in Canada.

Hi Danielle and greetings to you in the little white van in Canada. We are lucky we don’t get such low temperatures here and not much snow ⛄️ You are right, we could open the two front windows slightly and that would help a bit with condensation. It looks like our travel plans are going to be severely restricted with the new virus strain here in England so we will see what news the new year brings. Merry Christmas to you and best wishes for 2021 🎄😊👍

Lovely video as always. The golden hour was heartwarming. I was trying to identify the little birds feeding on the shore and maybe have a guess at Turnstone, but they probably aren’t! Anyway wishing you both a Merry Christmas. I do hope you’ll be able to do some more exploring in the New Year, restrictions permitting. From Louise x

Good Morning Ken and Carol Great video you were only a bit of a stone's through from us when you visited the Marine Parade Car Park in Selsey. I make it my routine to go there at least 3/4 times a week takes about 2 minutes, makes life worth living having lived by the sea in Scotland for the early part of my years. Happy Christmas .

@LifeistooshortCK
@LifeistooshortCK 3 жыл бұрын
First of all turn all the lights off and look out the window to see who it is. Then either ignore the knock until they go away or deal with the person. The risk is very low. Dead end so little traffic. We arrived in the dark. Left early. Legally parked 👍

Looks like it was a good outing after all is said and done. Despite the weather, how did you EVER pass up the ice cream truck? Looked like a good spot to forego masks for a bit while hiking. I live near a National Park in Virginia, USA which has a wealth of hiking areas, and with the onset of colder weather, very few hikers. Take care and hope the virus shots will return us to a more normal life by summer 2021.

I'm an expat since about 40 years and grew up in the Coolham/Billingshurst/Wisborough Green area. Our family have fled the area in the meantime, so i've no reason to go back there. Would be great to see some of that area from where I have so many good childhood memories. Stay safe, greets from Switzerland, Steve.

Cooking during day, then putting food into flask pots - and boiled water into a couple of 2ltr flasks - avoids the condensation. If you can get over 400-500w solar panels on the roof, even in winter, you should be able to power up batteries for a microwave via a 1500w inverter, or electric portable hob. Calor gas causes a lot of condensation when it burns. Rainx spray on the windows also stops them fogging, but you can't put it on tinted windows, only factory tinted glass, or the windscreen and driver-passenger windows. Plastic conservatory sheeting from the DIY store, taped over the interior windows can be used to make cheap DIY double glazing in winter months, and doesn't fog up.

It is a weather station with three transmitters. I normally put one outside the van in the trough just below the windscreen, one next to the water container and one by our lithium leisure battery as you shouldn’t charge it when its below zero. We bought it many years ago in John Lewis. That one is made by a company called Oregon. Not sure you can get them now.

Hi Alan we can certainly recommend getting one. As for music I use a company called Artlist which is a paid service. The thing that makes them different is that you buy the licence forever so there is no need to have a continuing subscription. If you don’t want to pay KZbin also offer their own free music. 👍
