    I really appreciate your videos, taste testing seems to be Ken's favourite thing.
    The trick I found to stop me driving off and leaving my expensive off road grip mats is to attach chains to them and clip the other end to the vehicle (out of the way so you don't catch the chain) or as you do have your passenger watch and collect them

    In Sweden there is a huge cheap shopping center mostly with clothing for women (Ullared/Gekås). The women can roam around for hours doing bargain shopping. Therefore the shopping center also has a "parking spot" area for men where they can play computer games, have a beer or watch football on TV whilst waiting for their better half finish shopping. A sort of man cave.

    We should make the effort to visit Crecy as it is only 30 minutes away from our French house. Azincourt is only 5 or 6 minutes away. The visitor centre there is great, I couldn't imagine us making such an effort in the UK to celebrate a battle where we were so comprehensively beaten.
    When we first started visiting France 25 year ago the Croque Monsieur or Madame available in the bars were our go to lunch choice, but recently the Madame has pretty much disappeared and the Monsieur has always been a disappointment. Glad that you found a decent supermarket version.

    Hey team, dunno if this has already been mentioned but a nice easy way to make sure you don’t drive off the chocks or leave them behind is to put a small note or Post-it on the speedo so when you start the engine you will see it. Works for us! Lovely Vlog by the way

    • @LifeistooshortCK

    I absolutly love your channel. Its so relaxed, so much fun. I especially like the fact that you show us that travelling in a small van is no problem. It doesn't have to be a 7mtr long big camper with everything you have at home. In a year from now i will have saved enough to buy a Ford Nugget pop up camper. I will be travelling for 9 months a year in my van and 3 months with my family in the Netherlands. I look forward to going back to living in a van like i did many years ago. Perhaps we will meet on the road.

    Here is the states the pastry "BEAR FEET" is called a "bear claw". Glazed like a donut, often with cinnamon in between two layers of fluffy dough.

    I really enjoy watching your trips, I'm from Israel and minicampers are very rare here, I turned a Citroen Berlingo into a minicamper myself, our country is very small so my wife and I do short trips with the camper, I learned a number of things from your videos, thank you and keep up the fun trips.
