The 🦆 duck gives you a little sassy quack as if he's read your mind about not wanting to be a duck and taken great duckanol affront 😄.

God bless that officer they have such a HARD job anyway but he still helped them.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

They do things like that all the time when not responding to emergency calls. It’s the side of policing people never see 👍

[@chrisneedham5803]

What a dramatic change in the weather, but still a very enjoyable video.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Chris . And this week we are expecting a heatwave 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️😀

[@sanclewphotographic]

Now watching this wonderful video, I was ahead of the game, whilst you two were in the Pub having your lunch, I was eating my Steak and Ale ( Old Peculiar ) pie and for once you Ken and the lovely Carol were not making me envious, but seriously after watching one of your Video's I just feel so relaxed, calming and articulate as always, thank you for making them, regards to you both.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Colin. Hope you enjoyed that steak and ale pie 😋👍

[@annehunter-compian1125]

Thanks for the views! Have a blessed day!

Seeing the police deliver the people back to their car is probably a common occurrence. Living in the Forest of Dean I have come across various lost walkers on my walks. Its always good to check the name/location of your carpark. As on several occasions when I've asked where they parked they didn't know the name of the car park or which road it was on. In one instance they were surprised that there was more than one car park! In one occasion I had a family knock on my door asking for directions to the campsite as they had got disoriented and couldn't find it and had been walking for hours and were exhausted. Their faces dropped when I told them it was about 5 miles away. Luckily I was able to bundle them all in my car and take them back to their campsite. Love watching this as it brings back memories of my teenage years when I lived in the New Forest.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Our next series is in the Forest of Dean and we certainly know what you mean when you say it’s easy to get lost. We have a few methods to prevent that happening to us but we often meet people who can’t fit their map to the landscape. Well done for taking them back to their campsite I am sure they never forgot that kindness.

[@xhogun8578]

@@LifeistooshortCK looking forward to watching you discovering my little part of England.

[@margaretbutterworth8162]

You mentioned how mesmerising it is to watch waves rolling in as well as flames in an open fire. I was recently given a good suggestion about the latter: film the fire on an iPhone in slow motion. It starts at normal speed then slows down. This is even more mesmerising.

You are very much in my area here, I now live on the edge of the New Forest but was bought up in the town you passed through. You were quite right, it was New Milton.

[@steveelkins52]

It's such a shame they don't allow overnight parking in the New Forest, we see vans in lay byes and tucked away on track, yet the Authorities claim campers leave mess and excrement, even have the Forest Rangers out from 5 am during busy times to move people on. We walk the Forest every day and seldom see evidence.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

To be honest the only evidence I’ve ever seen is KFC, McDonald’s and other takeaway rubbish and that is highly unlikely to be dropped by campervanners. I think times are changing because more and more carparks are beginning to cotton on that there is money to be made from campers.

[@OriginalSuperfreak]

So relaxing to watch 😊
