    I was about to write something suitably compassionate about being deprived of caramel toppings and then I heard the voiceover about shovelling food…I can’t help you, Ken, you talked yourself out of it 😂 My husband is on a diet too. I have to eat ice cream in the cupboard under the stairs with the hoover on and pretend I’m vacuuming. Cupboard has never been so clean 🤷‍♀️

    If you decide to come to Norway again, I will highly recommend my county Østfold. I have discovered van lifers skipping Østfold. Our county has so much to offer. Halden has a big fortress. My town, Sarpsborg, has a very relaxing vibe to it. Our town goes back to the viking Ages. We have the biggest fabric called Borregaard and were owned and financial by an english man .Fredrikstad has a beautiful old town. Moss has it charm, too .Hope you will consider and you are very much welcome. ❤️

    Hello guys. I had the same problem with payment on numerous occasions. On one occasion a parking inspector was present and I asked her about the non payment problem. Her reply, we have this problem all the time ,according to her one of two things happen, the transaction takes to long so the card provider terminates the transaction or there is no web connection in the first place. I use the parking aps as much as possible but there are a lot of them. Ringo is quite common. I am impressed with the effort you put into your filming.Grat stuff.

    Nice to see Christmas window shopping in the UK. It has for many years been a dream of mine to see the Isle of Man and I have thus been following your channel since the Isle of Man videos (I watch everything I can find from IOM).
    However, I did NOT expect to ever see you guys driving around in my neighbourhood of Nesttun, were it seems you spent the night from Saturday to Sunday when you were in Bergen, Norway. I was in Shropshire in november just to satisfy the anglophile in me and went over again for 5 days earlier this month. Great channel.
    Hope Ken is doing ok now. God bless.

Well, it took a few years but we finally see your other side, and I (for one) love it! I hope Ken gets to feeling better soon. Please tell me truly that Ken’s immune system is not compromised by cutting out sugar. He’s a better man than I am! Well, even the Trumpist is a better man than I am, seeing as I am a girl and all.
