I remember you saying something like "You have to have a story." You do that very well. I do like seeing the food you fix/eat, the drone footage, the photographs and hearing about the history of places.

That said, I'll be watching in future because your vlogs are so interesting just the way they are.

Hi from Spain. The informational tips about driving on country roads are very useful for those who are more familiar with driving on major roads. One point you missed is 'when overtaking a tractor check for any turnings or access points that the tractor might suddenly turn into' - farmers are notorious for not signalling.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

I think that the balance you have found between interpersonal stuff between the two of you, some local info and I sights into VanLife are just about right… I personally would watch longer and more frequent videos but I know that there is another balance to be drawn between filming and producing videos and actually enjoying your travels and being present rather than staring at a screen before or after the event… I really like the variety of shots and of course particularly like the drone work. I look forward to trying my hand at all of this this once I get over some of my current issues. Keep ‘em coming Ken and Carol… keep ‘em coming.

Just a point about the farming, massive fields with no hedgerows is really bad. Lincolnshire does it similar. They are barren of everything bar the crop. Alot of farms are tuning away from that style of cataclysmic farming as it wrecks the soil.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Didn’t know that. Thanks for the insight 👍

[@clarebrant5305]

[@anniescolourfullife]

Problem is that here in the UK, more and more greenbelt land is being turned over for housing, so that's why we are losing all our farming land and other open spaces. Plus France is over twice the size of the UK and their population is not much different to here, so hence the reason for more open spaces. I read a while back that the UK will eventually be as built up like Hong Kong is ☹️. Fortunately, I'll be dead and gone by then 🤣

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It was very obvious when we were driving around that there was much more space than in England and all the fields looked so much bigger. Even the little country lanes weren’t closed in with walls and hedges like over here. It is sad seeing all the housing estates going up but I suppose people have to live somewhere.

In the Uk pedestrians now have total priority and can cross the road anytime anywhere, cyclists are next in priority having to only give way to pedestrians, etc. the larger the vehicle the more you have to give way basically under the new diktat.

The mosies come from the water,p get in your van & find you at night. It's the CO2 you emit - I'm a "sweet meat" to them too. It's the same for them emerging from grass @ dusk time onwards. Personally I have allergic reactions to them so I have to use DEET (Jungle Formula) even in UK to keep them away & long sleeves & legs in clothes at night. I use tea tree oil & lavender oil to soothe them. Sometimes it's a visit to GP for antibiotics if they go bad. I have 2 Uncle's lost in WW1, no resting places just Commemorated on Loos & Arras Memorials. Wish I could visit those. Maybe you could do a WW1 Memorial sites tour as there are so many.

I am 63 and Carol is 61. 👍 Vans are really personal things and I would recommend visiting a retailer to have a good nosey around the various layouts. It costs nothing to look and you can learn a lot by just sitting in them and imagining what you will need to do during a day. When you have seen a few you like the look of hit youtube to see people who already have one. Then its all down to budget and availability. This is our first van so we are no experts. We had caravans for years. Boy do I wish I had started with a van. They are so much easier than towing. If you want to wild camp don’t go to big. If you stay on sites size does not usually matter. Fixed bed is really nice. That’s the only thing we miss from our caravan days.

There is virtually nothing that I DONT like about your videos. I like the places you go and the conversations you have with each other as you drive. I like it that you take us shopping with you and show us how and what you eat in your little van. I really like it when you show us the interesting things you see, and that you show us what doesn’t work out for you. I like the drone shots with lovely music and that you don’t use music all the time. Just keep up the good work!

Riding along on your adventures makes me feel like Miss Daisy. I’m a passenger along for the ride. Lovely video

Glad you enjoyed the ride ☺️

Do you put the top down before you sleep for the night? Thanks for the drone shots! They are almost always my favorite. The food looks very good! I’d imagine you could end up with a surprise meal if you can’t read French. Thankfully we have on our phones translating apps. There’s definitely more square miles in France so much more room to plant crops. Our home is surrounded (other than the road in front of our house) by corn fields this year. Some years it’s soybeans. Have a great day, Mary

Thanks Mary. We only put the roof down at night when it is very cold or windy or if we want to be stealthy and make it look like there is no one in the van. 🙂

Those French day-trippers were most likely fruit and vegetable pickers waiting for the company bus to take them to work.

That’s interesting, didn’t know that. Thanks 🙂👍

Your videos are lovely , full of good information of the places you both visit and your drone footage is very professional just as good and sometimes even better than the documentaries on the television also your voice over is so clear. Just continue what you both doing its our best to watch on KZbin xx
