You capture your country beautifully! Your mutual respect for the ground you walk on is admirable, and you do it justice each week with your videos. Loved it!

Thanks for watching Liam & Janine and your lovely comment is much appreciated 🙂👍

[@paulgrinyer4467]

Brilliant! Have just stumbled across your channel and absolutely loving your videos. I'm not far from Bognor and often use the Aldwick Cafe when I'm in the area, so glad you found it. Happy travels 👍👍

Hi Paul welcome 👍

I like to see the warts and all reality....and the lovely way you talk to each other and problem solve. Love the little red camper!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Sue. We like to tell it as it is. There will be a big dose of real bad weather in the next series ☺️

Thanks Diana 🙂

Hi another brilliant video. Glad you enjoyed your breakfast in Aldwick. Hotham park used to have a mini zoo years ago. Used to be called Rainbows End. I only live 15minutes walk from here and we are so lucky with some beautiful dog walks on our doorstep. The little village of Felpham, next one on, is lovely. There's a lovely cafe and a place called the Lobster Pot. Well worth a visit. We are so lucky having so many great places all along the South Coast. Enjoy your travels.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for the info!

Lovely!

Beautiful

[@glenysperry3421]

That Cafe, looks like waves of something unmentionable, better in colours of blues and turquoise to simulate waves. Another enjoyable video, thanks Carol and Ken.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for the comment Glenys. The cafe would definitely look better if painted. I like your idea of blue waves 🙂👍

[@cassandrarobinson2458]

Eyesore!

[@loz1317]

I used to live near Rufford it was the Sunday entertainment watching cars trying to go through the ford 😁. Great video as always x

[@LifeistooshortCK]

The videos are surprisingly entertaining so I can see the attraction 🙂👍

[@shadiablo1]

I think the cafe is a great asset to what would otherwisebe a boring scene. It has character.

[@karengriffitts3614]

I agree about the music . As I’ve gotten older I can’t handle it and then people talking to. I love your videos just found you from Georgia in USA . We just retired and considering doing this. But you have awesome places to visit.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Welcome to our channel. Glad you are enjoying our travels. Greetings to Georgia, USA 🤗

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Helen. “The Little Red Camper” is the best we can do 😂😀👍

[@tinamcloughlin2710]

That was so relaxing loved the scenery and the music. Always so much to see and learn about wherever you both go and then there's Kens funny observations about himself when he's just woken up. Bit like my husband if I'm honest. You gotta laugh! Thanks folks. x

Good for the soul that and I’m now set up for the day. Thank you. Not sure about the funny looking cafe, reminded me of Uluru! X

Glad you enjoyed it Louise. See what you mean about it looking like Uluru, probably the rust colour 😆

Hotham park has a lovely cafe restaurant, unreal food in there also

Oh beautiful sunset 🌅 I agree with you about the loud music in cafes, especially early in the morning 😑 Great vlog as always, safe travels & hope you’re enjoying this beautiful dry weather! It certainly makes campervanning easier 😁 best wishes Em xx

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hi Em, thanks for watching. Yes this sunny weather is ideal for campervanning and we had a lovely day out in the little red camper yesterday. Wishing you safe travels, have fun 🙂👍

[@JerseyGirl50]

I wouldn’t say the East Beach Cafe was an eyesore, but also not a beauty in my eyes. It seems out of place with the building behind and the beauty of the beach & water. Thank you for taking us along to see sights we might not ever experience. Oh, and the cafe with the loud music! I would have left also to find a more relaxing place for breakfast.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks for the comment Arlene 🙂👍

[@chasgti]

Wonderful flowing video, photography and music perfect. You really captured a moment in time

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@hilaryd7424]

East beach cafe, Eyesore.

[@suebt8794]

Loved the Alice sculptures x Totally understand the need for a peaceful breakfast..the first place you went sounded like an 80s disco at full blast... Unusual I think to cafe!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Sue 🙂

[@dorothyhart8127]

Thanks for showing how you fill up LPG. I haven’t had to do it yet, but will probably have to do it soon. My in laws live in Sussex so I’m enjoying your latest trips. I know some of the places you have been but not all. Thanks ever so much

[@LifeistooshortCK]

You are welcome. Line up the slot with the lugs on the pipe. Twist the handle 90 degs and lock it down. Wait a moment for the hose to pressurise and fill with gas then hold the button in on the pump until the gas automatically stops flowing. Once it stops don’t try and put any more in. Letting the hose pressurise first is key 👍

[@janfurze5708]

I liked the cafe - reminded me of a headland. Nice filming....thanks!

[@paulinewhite3273]

Carol and Ken so enjoyed my trip out with you. The Alice sculptures were super, as was all your filming, beautiful swans. I found the music accompanying the video rather moving. Wonderful all round thank you, more please!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Pauline. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@coplandjason]

Stumbled on this channel by accident but watched the video as I live in Littlehampton. The East Beach Cafe is known locally as "The Turd" :-)

Welcome Jason. Hope you enjoyed the video. The name is quite appropriate 😂

Great photos and tour, Carol. Wonderful drone work and editing, Ken.

Hello Ken / Carol great video as always love the shots of the little beach huts and all your drone footage was nice to see, I would say a yes to the building I quite liked the way it looked. . Have a great weekend .

Ahoy Pirates! :D Another epic video! :D It was great entertainment, you both are one of a kind. :) I don't like loud music either, the mingling and chatty moments make the food taste better! XD Lovely beach, an amazing wonderland with the sculptures, heartwarming scenes with the dogs and swans! :) Thank you for the enormous effort you both put in making these for us! bear hugs from your Captain

Thanks Cap’n. Thought you would enjoy a sunny winter’s day by the sea 😎 Take care ❤️

[@jostocker1114]

I say unique, which sets us all apart, just imagine how things might be if everything was the same. I love the cinematography you have shown, thanks again for sharing your lives with us, do keep enjoying your travels, with much love from Down Under, Queensland Australia.

[@mmwaashumslowww7167]

That was very well filmed and showed places that can be missed if you are not looking out for them. I love England as much as you do but cafe's that don't cater for what people want and an arrogant management that think loud music is the way to go, then it's vote with your feet. Glad you found a good place with an awesome big breakfast menu and peace.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Sounds like we are of the same mind 😀👍

[@charlescharliecharles50]

We are with you, Ken. We love England , and we hate to hear it being run down. Love the videos by the way.

Hi Ken and Carol, it was really great to finally meet you. Always enjoy following your travels and tips. Perhaps next time Biscuit and Bailey might be even more excited (if it were possible) to see you as they too are also avid viewers. We were all relieved to see it was a long distance shot of their frolics rather than their enthusiastic introductions!

Hi Jo and Andrew, thanks for watching. It was great to meet you and the lovely Biscuit and Bailey 😀👍

East Beach Cafe was designed by Thomas Heatherwick, who designed the 2012 Olympic cauldron. Locally known as the rusty bucket, rack of toast, dog 💩. I like it but plenty of others don't or didn't when it was first built.

Exxcellent video thank you. I live not far so everything is familiar. You both have great eyes for photos. Great drone work as usual too.

[@mandywoods3551]

Lovely video. I lived there when the east beach cafe was being planned and built. The idea was that it was an oyster shell. Littlehampton grew it's own oysters in the pond the swans were swimming in, it is known as the oyster pond.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Wondered why it was called the oyster pond. You can’t beat local knowledge so thanks for the info 🙂👍

[@euansemple5598]

[@suzyking9973]

Hi. Good video Have you been to Arundel you can park over night there in Mill lane, I think it is called that. Lovely town and great river walks, nature etc. We go there a lot in our camper van .

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Yes we stayed there in our Heading West series part 1 about 2 years ago 😀

[@epiphany8276]

Hotham (park) is pronounced Hot-tam by me but I may be wrong. Shame about the cafe at West Bognor parking. There used to be a cafe at that end of the beach huts on the beach but it's probably seasonal. Littlehampton is beautiful in the sunshine! Lots of geocaches too! The bench and the cafe are eyesores. The best fish and chips in Littlehampton was in the film, I forget the time, but it has a bright yellow front! Very enjoyable to see the area though an other's eyes! Thank you.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. We would have enjoyed those fish and chips 😀👍

[@daveyjones6465]

Another awesome mixture of beautiful scenery and local history . And I 100% agree with your mantra (arrive late leave early) so many so called wild campers park in prime locations and stay in 1 spot for days on end, and will be the first to complain when local authorities ban overnight parking completely. Looking forward to your next Travelogue Ken and Carol may there be many more. 🇬🇧👍🏻

[@LifeistooshortCK]

True. Staying in the same spot is a recipe for resentment 👍

The caffe building is unusual but quite like it. I’ve seen other buildings with similar designs built with metal and left to rust to give colour.
