I grew up hearing - and have taught my children - to “ always leave it cleaner than you found it”....seeing you clean a mess not of your making just further cements my opinion that y’all are pretty awesome people! Thank you for sharing yet another beautiful video!
Where I live on the Georgia Coast in a forest, you can’t walk in the woods due to vines and brambles and SNAKES, LOTS IF THEM! To see a woods you can actually stroll through looks like heaven to me!
I did laugh 😂 " What sort of trees are they " asks Carol, Ken's reply "Big ones" I do love your video's, and Carol you seem so much more relaxed 😊 now in front of the camera than 12 months ago. Old Ken he's just a natural 🤣. Have a lovely Easter 👍
I now understand how my friend peeled off the side of her rental car 😅 Very narrow roads. I drove in Brittany and Normandy on the countryside roads, and those too, were a tight squeeze. But less traffic, and thank God, no wrecks!
Are they deer or geese? This reminded me of the old joke “what is the difference between an elephant and a post box? “ “I don’t know” “ then I’m not asking you to post my letters” 😂 lovely episode thank you, this is my best ever kind of day out time in my van lovely old house to look round and walking amongst trees and always cake😊❤❤
Litter is the Bain of my existence too. When I walk the beach, my fun besides the walk is picking up trash. Much of it washes in with the tide, of course and the rest is left by beer dinking wolves, who were not raised right. I can’t tell you the number of pairs of under drawers and other unsightly garbage I have retrieved with heavy washing up gloves on, of course. I appreciate you being civic minded too. Every bag we retrieve stops us from looking like the coast of India. There are many, many, of us doing our part. I live in the country and we have groups that pick up road trash every Saturday. I would, but there are SO MANY snakes where I live, it’s impossible for me. So I stick to beach walks and group beach cleanups. Thank you!
You are the Derby and Joan of the camping world , so close you bounce off each other . Absolutely look forward to all your vids .Thanks for another chilled vid 👍
Ooh! Claud got very excited when she saw you were at Knebworth. She’s Stevenage born and bread and her folks still live there so she knows it very well. Some pro level cinematography going on in this episode too. Awesome x
Love to see you cleaned up the rubbish. It is disgusting people dropping rubbish on the ground when bins supplied . Laziness. Unfortunately, the same thing happens here in New Zealand. I would never throw rubbish out the window, etc. The only thing is Apple cores.Thank you for another fantastic video. Tania.
Thanks Tania. It always amazes us how people can just throw rubbish from a moving car or leave rubbish behind at a parking stop. I wonder what state their houses are in!
Got this recommendation... from google 🤔. What's going on... I thought ? they must have known...cos @0.37 I nearly fell off my chair..your voice and cadence is the same as Marty ..in Marty's matchbox makeovers. .. lol. Errr that's it.. just an observation 🤙😂.
Ken, you need to let Carol be correct more often (Right turn...) The smile on her face was priceless... even better than the cheesecake... Great video as usual guys....
@@LifeistooshortCK Quick question… when I’ve looked at NV-200s the roofs are very low. However, when they installed your pop top it appears they retained the ability to get under barriers whilst allowing the two of you (relatively) plenty of headspace when the roof is down. Is this something you requested in the installation?
@@LifeistooshortCK Many thanks for the response as always. I’ll keep that in mind! Currently set on a HiAce SWB D4D and that too is very low, but I’m very encouraged by the prospect of a pop top for barriers/wildcamping, but being able to have the (non-claustrophobic) space you seem to have in the little red NV-200 of yours. Happy Easter!
Very enjoyable both well done for cleaning up 👍 Canada geese are everywhere these days . I lived in Canada 🇨🇦 for quite a few years,and they were a bit of a pest , and because of the milder weather they dont fly north so much . They would make a nice sandwich if they weren’t protected 😂 try cooking that in one pan . Great video good luck 👍🏴
Well that was £36 well spent 🤣🤣 I enjoyed it very much 😁 Thanks for sharing another great video. I was going to tell you about a conference I went to there but I’ll save you the boredom of my reminiscing 😳😊
Very nice place, that magnificent home. Would have loved to see that little church on the grounds, also the inside of it. Love small old churches, they are lovely.
Fantastic video, again, thank you. I love the stable door effect with the sarong. I've just bought some brilliant magnetic hooks for our campervan, so will also pack a few flimsy scarfs to act as summer curtains for the door way in the hot weather when it comes. Happy Easter, Carol and Ken 😊🎉
I’m going to enjoy this series. I love a good look around stately homes. All the history and heritage. Have you been to Highclere Castle? Well worth a visit. I’m a fan of Downton and it’s only up the road for me! Hampton Court was my last place to visit and I never managed to find the middle of the maze. This series will open my horizons and inspire my next places to visit. Will be glued every week as usual. Thank you 🙏
I got frightened out of my skin a couple of weeks back by a sound like a woman screaming, at 2 in the morning. I googled it, and found out it was a vixen looking for a mate. 😅
Carole cooking that pan of sausage made me decide on what's on the Sunday tea menu 😋 she rustles up a mean sausage & bacon 🥓 barm 😊😊 Knebworth House looks an interesting place 🤔 as for the people who throw rubbish on the ground even NEXT TO a bloody litter bin are morons!😡 most & i mean most people use the brain that they were blessed with! I often wonder how they live 🤔 😕 😐 🙄 relaxing & enjoyable on Easter 🐣 morning..Happy Easter 🐣 💓
Yes, Knebworth House is beautiful. What was that loud banging @5:19 thru 5:26? It sure sounded like a gun going off which Carol had just read, "... no shooting"
That was just the microphone picking up wind noise,etc when we transitioned to outside the van. The levels were not quite right. There was no evidence of any shooting ☺️
I am pretty good at finding my way in woods but in the job I was awful at knowing where places were. No matter how much I studied maps I just didn’t have the nack. Luckily back then we were double crewed so it never mattered. 😁👍
Great entertaining and amusing video as usual. Loved is deer? Oh no...its geese! Priceless. Guess David Attenborough's save for now. Happy Easter guys. 🐣 🐕🚙
You were actually ten minutes away from me at Knebworth house one film that it featured in stared Robert Mitchum in the opening credits he is shown coming of the motorway slip road onto the drive before they installed the ticket barriers and the house coming into view. Sadly Stevenage is losing a lot of history to the bulldozer recently a three hundred year old cottage flattened to be replaced with houses the Vincent motorbike factory is a housing Estate and a factory that during the war built wings for the Mosquito suffered the same fate The last concert was Liam Gallagher who also stayed there sadly he offended a few of the locals in a shop every other word was a 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬, at the moment nobody knows if the concerts will return but if they do avoid the area locals were getting fed up with the disruption caused lanes on the A1 closed plus roads in a five mile radius choked with parked cars of concert goers so locals might try and stop them.❤. Whilst working for a conservation trust we had an issue after a concert where the local reserve had literally been stripped of all leaf litter and any branches on the ground even to the extent that they took the wooden path markers that had been stacked down the whole site looked like they used a giant vacuum cleaner. Sadly Ken you cannot blame the wildlife all the time on place I would never recommend due to the state it is in Sharpenhoe clangers.
I didn’t realise the concerts had stopped. If the locals were being adversely impacted then it doesn’t surprise me. The safety requirements imposed on event organisers these days put a lot of them off 👍
Life is too short as it is. Making it shorter by eating junk food is a bad choice. Doctors big pharmaceutical companies think otherwise. Go plantbased whole food and you will improve you lifespan.
@@LifeistooshortCK haha I don’t, but I don’t see any harm in that either. Do whatever you feel is the best for you. Sugar, white flour and so on are addictive like vine and smoking so I am not saying it’s easy to change your lifestyle. But medication and surgery is not pleasant either.
This is what all us van lifers should do: Leave every park up in better shape that it was in when you arrived!
Loved this vlog. Simply all about life. Get those steps in Ken! I do love a secret door. Scary doll 😳cake looked good!
Very lovely video. The castle was amazing. Glad that you had a wonderful time.
Good to see you guys 5mins from my house should have stopped for a coffee!!!
If only we had known ☕️🤗
Great that's saved me another few quid, thanks 😜
Ken you are a witty one. 😂 beautiful scenery. Watch out for geese. They’re vicious
You’re right about those geese 🙂👍

Aw thanks Catherine. We just hate it when campervanners get accused of leaving rubbish.
My little dog would beat his way past that bin if he could get your lunch 😂😂😂
Haha. We will have to think of something better 😅
That was another lovely video guys. That house was amazing .
Thanks for sharing and Happy Easter .
Glad you enjoyed it. Happy Easter to you too 🐣
I used to play cricket for Knebworth, and spent a lot of my youth in that park. Lots of happy memories 😁
Was it a posh club ?
@@LifeistooshortCK Not really. Very good club house for after match drinks 😉
Glad to hear it 👍
Nice vlog Ken and Carol. Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome 🙂
«YOLO» 😄 you two are adorable,haha. 🌸
Wonderful music choice during the house tour! Love your videos keep them coming. Travel safely and walk in peace.
Thank you. The same to you 👍
Very impressed at 16.22, where the waltz-time music synced with the 3 o' clock chime in the Knebworth library! Praise be to the Editor ...and thanks!
Glad you noticed 😁👍
7:00 pickled cucumbers with that, and a little spicy mustard, And a cold beer.
Sounds good 😋👍
Responsible van lifers keep your free park ups available. I’ve a feeling carol is often right! Thanks for the video. Mary

Yes certainly would be a challenge. I wonder if they are tasty.

Felt like I was on holiday with you! Eighteen quid each is certainly top end - but I rather think it was worth it. YAM xx
There was enough to see to make it worthwhile. The guided tour of the house was excellent.
It’s always nice watching an episode showing the area local to me x
Hope you enjoyed it ☺️
It’s great to see you, ken, staring at the sausages being cooked by carol, ur mouth watering!! 🤪! ❤x
Staring at them is almost as good as eating them 😁👍
A lovely and informative video, thank you for taking me along.
Thanks for joining us 🙂
The ornate things on the chandeliers were exquisite. The place settings on the dining room table were nice as well.
They were indeed 😍
Enjoy a great Easter weekend. Thanks for all you do/show us/ clean up. I can’t stand or understand why people are so disrespectful ❤X
Thank you and Happy Easter to you 🐣
Just love catching up with you you're both so appealing. And make me laugh at times really quite endearing. Thanks for the uploads.
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching 😀

Very nice place, that magnificent home. Would have loved to see that little church on the grounds, also the inside of it. Love small old churches, they are lovely.

As always, a fun and entertaining episode. Thanks for taking us along!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching 🙂
It wasnt their last concert its had a few since OASIS, ROBBIE WILLIAMS & LIAM GALLAGHER a few months ago!!!
I think we meant it was Queen’s last concert with Freddie Mercury ☺️
I got frightened out of my skin a couple of weeks back by a sound like a woman screaming, at 2 in the morning. I googled it, and found out it was a vixen looking for a mate. 😅

Funny you should ask that ☺️ These videos should answer your question

Simplicity is all. I should have that tattoo'd but won't!
Please don’t 😅
Don't worry, hate tattoos!
That may have been a porcupine in the woods. They sound like human babies.
Not seen a porcupine wild in the UK before 😁

Sir David has no worries 😂
Quick question, why, when given a choice between open air and under a tree, do you park under a tree?
It was a very hot day and we just wanted the shade.
Can I ask what drone do you use. Thanks
I fly the DJI MAVIC Air 2 and currently see no need to upgrade it to the latest version. Light weight is good as there are less rules.
