  • Finally we leave England and start our journey back to Positano!
    Thank you for sticking with us along the way, I know this is not what you signed up for but everyone is entitled to a break and after the last couple of years everyone should take any chance to visit family abroad whenever possible. This was my chance and this was my break. A month with my family in England. So thank you for your patience and regular broadcasting from Italy will resume next week!
    In this video we drive to Dijon where it is too cold and foggy to do much at all except sleep and drive away.
    So we headed off in search of better weather and found it in Avignon where we didn't dance on the bridge but we did find wine for Luca.
    We drove to Provence and stay with our friends Darren and Darla. If, by the way you have any computer problems Darren can help: www.zerolimits.com
    We visited Apt, Gourdes, Rousillon and Lacoste while there.
    In the next video we arrive back in Italy!

      I agree leaving a parent is very sad. I used to live 10 hours away and it was too far to respond to minor hiccups. Thankfully we now live only 2 hours away so we are able to fix things like broken toilets and water heaters. I'm very appreciative of now being so close.

My 8-year-old son is watching with me and his teacher tells the class that over the weekend they have to learn one to fun fact and come to class on Monday and tell them all about it. He is going to tell the class all about Dijon Mustered and where it's made.

    Carlo enjoy the warmth of Dijon. Here in the Ottawa, Canada area we have endured almost 2 weeks of -20 to -30 Celsius without the wind chill being added in. I've had to boost my ex's car every day, luckily I have a new battery since last spring. The river near my place is frozen and people skate out there, the brave even drive cars on it. My apartment windows were completely frosted for days - today the sun is out and it's a balmy -12 Celsius the sun is shining and that has melted the frost so I can see outside. Would you like to adopt me :-).

    Oh my! now frantically searching for property in Gourdes and trying to work out how to leave England! What a stunning place. Thank you for taking time out of your holiday to show us your adventures, I know it's not easy. Years ago my children took part in a Flat Stanley project, which is where you draw a character, laminate it, make a diary for it and post it around the world to other children. When you receive someone else's Flat Stanley you take it with you for a month and record it's travels in the diary with words, photos, entrance tickets etc and then send it on to the next person on the list. Then at the end of the year the Flat Stanleys return to their makers with the diary's of their journeys. Doing that for a year was nothing compared to what you do, but even so it was still an effort to remember to take Stanley out with us so we could photograph him in various places and then print out the photos etc. My children were quite young and not great at writing and so needed to be supported in creating the diaries, it's a great idea though.

    Oh this was so much fun...you took the exact trip we did while in Provence including Gordes, LaCoste and Roussillon and of course the fields. Your day was nice and clear which really made for some beautiful scenery even in winter. We did brave the "heaving crowds" that Dana mentioned and went during full bloom lavender and I would encourage you to make that trip in very late June or early July. It was magical!! This brought back so many memories. The movie "A Good Year" was filmed in Gordes and surrounding areas and you would enjoy it now that you have experienced the area. Thanks and safe journey back to Italy.

      One does not expect an Italian to know ANY foreign languages, but your French pronunciation leaves much to be desired. Avignon was the Papal seat for over 200 years; that was the Papal residence! If you are planning any travel vlogs, either stay in Italy or learn the correct pronunciation of places you visit, keep well, keep safe!

Not only was it rude, but passive aggressive racism towards Italians (many are multi-lingual), English and anyone who's native accents comes though when speaking another language. How is anyone meant to practice a language if they don't use it? Most kind people appreciate if someone attempts the language of the country that they are in, rather than the visitor assuming that they can/should speak theirs.

    So fascinating! LOVE seeing all those gorgeous places! The colors are just beautiful. My Daughter moved part time to Nice France and ive been telling her about the places YOU travel and why she needs to visit-She actually has been doing some traveling and making notes of the places you share! Thank you for all the facts, content & your time-including the drone views. ❤️

    So nice to get a early train. Gave you more daylight to travel. Hate the bad weather but it is January. Just look how wide the streets are at the beginning of trip. By the time you got down south to Apt streets are more like Italy. Even some of the homes remind me of Italy. Wish you had more time to explore there. Some very different things. Darren and Darla were so nice to ask you to visit and host you and your small doggy. I would love you to go back and explore more with them. Such nice people and live in a beautiful area.
    Can not wait for you to have Luca over for a dinner and set your table with new linens and use that ice bucket for the wine you got him. Set with all the little treats you collected on your trip. The butter, Jam, cheese, mustard. He works so hard all year for everyone in family, he deserves it.

      Merci Beaucoup Patti, we would love to have them come back as well and hopefully Spring Summer they will. Southern France is very much like Italy and used to be Italy in some parts like Menton. Why we love it in the South. Its Italy and France combined

Tell Carlo that he was right about Canadian temps, as I sat watching this video in southern Ontario Canada, it is - 17° C with a wind chill of -22° !!

    Love this trip. It always amazes me on the beauty of all of Europe. The way the landscape and the architecture all seamlessly fits together and is unique to each region by comparison to most of N America which is so much younger. Generally speaking building and land use here seems more geometric and less organic. Oh, by the way Carlo keep the beard, it is very becoming.

The tunnel (and separately, a bridge) connecting us to Windsor, Ontario, Canada is a paved driving tunnel...basically a paved road you drive on to the other side. So yes, I did imagine the euro tunnel differently. Really interesting!

    I’m so enjoying all your adventures. As a Canadian, I loved Carlo’s honourable mention of our winter ❄️ weather. It’s currently anywhere between -20C and -30C most of the time so -2C sounds quite balmy!! Its ice fishing season! It’s character-building and while our winters are long, it makes us all that much more appreciative when spring raises it’s pretty head. Thanks again for all you do for us here who continue to experience lockdowns (we’re coming out of our 4th one on Monday). Couch potato traveling with you has been wonderful. Ciao!

    Darren needs to let Apple Techies know how to fix the editing problem..Lovely vlog.. I'm with Carlo regarding the cold.. even though I live in the UK I should be used to the cooler climates but anything minus on the temperature chart would send me running for a radiator. I don't know if you are aware of the lovely story behind the Bonme Mamam jam, I don't know if it was true but it's lovely all the same. The owners of the company that made the Jam supposedly hid families in Paris during the war. The Chapoulart family lived in the village of Biars-sur-Cere and owned a fruit and nut business. Jean Gervoson started to package and sell his father in laws unsold jams a company which eventually evolved into Bonne Maman brand.

      No, we don't use anything like that, but we think we know cold isn't a problem for Holly, how do we know? Because we went to places where there was snow, and Holly was rolling in it all the time, so we deduced she wasn't cold, then we can always have misinterpreted.😘
