Without doubt the best campervan/travel channel i have found. Thank you for your efforts and great content x PS the chipping noise would make me move lol
The museum was fascinating.. how wonderful to just find it in a beautiful little village, brilliant video as always. The tree chipper gave me a flashback to last Sunday when a neighbour who shall remain anonymous decided to mow and strip his garden at 7am !! I was furious and woke my partner to ask how he could sleep through the racket 🤣 see you next week.Sue
Once again a great blog. Love all the history and beautiful architecture. Yes, we would have moved too. Here in South African camping & caravanning circles, we have a "SWAMBO" = She Who Always Must Be Obeyed" - better known as The Wife ! 😂😂 I'm thinking Tricia is definitely a SWAMBO 😂🤣😂
Trisha goodness gracious your on holiday a long holiday. Your bound to be woken up now and then at some point earlier than you’d like! You are traveling out of season and therefore places are doing maintenance now,ready for when it is “ season “ and busy. It’s not like it happens every day! You obviously not a morning person..I am,and totally get that some people aren’t! Love how Mike says the moving on was a “ joint decision “… I think not…lol Hopefully the rest of the trip let’s you lay in as much as you want…🏴🤞🏴
Well, the site only just recently opened for the season so they really should have taken care of that before now. Anyway, like you say, it does not happen all the time, just had tobe on one of the few days where we were having a long lie. Typical 🙄
One thing I've learnt after living over here in France for 27 years now is that people aren't very considerate when it comes to noise. True that there are local bylaws about such things as not using garden equipment on a Sunday, Bank Holiday or at certain times of the day. The local mairie decides the implementation of these, so it can vary from region to region. I suspect the woodchipper was being used by people working for the mairie. The area you are in is a nice but very rural part of the world. Not far from the route we used to take down to the Dordogne. We passed via nearby Saint Aignan. Bonne route à tous les 3.
If they had told us when we were booking then we could have went elsewhere but I guess they didn't because they still want people to come. They really should have done it before opening the site for the season.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot Sadly planning between the various parties for these things sometimes doesn't go so well. Last year the mairie closed our main street from the Summer holidays till November. It seems they didn't liase with the bus companies for when the kids went back to school. So my two kids (daughter at college and son at Lycée) had problems. Buses going round the bypass and missing their stops. Or they were dropped off in a dangerous place before the village. I had a grumble on the mairie FB page. The day after a haphazard sign had been sellotaped to the "route fermée" panel. Reading "sauf autobus" (except buses). I don't think it was my grumble that resulted in that, but I guess there were a lot of annoyed parents. We once booked a cabin in the Jura, only to find there was another under construction just down the incline from us. Nothing was happening, then sure enough 2 days later, hammering and nailgunning started up. Then found out the owner of our cabin was the village mayor. Law unto themselves. Sorry about your stay, but sadly it is just how things are. I still get annoyed as well, because after all I'm still a Brit and that is the way we see things isn't it?
Shame about the noise but the village was nice and peaceful. You're very good with the drone. Fantastic footage. As for the decision to " should we stay or should we go, i think it was an open and shut case,,,,, objection my lord.... OVERRULED!!!! 😄😄👍👍
Don’t we just love a democracy 😂😂😂😂 . Loved the historic update as usual thanks for that. Looking forward to the next one. Safe journey as always from Coatbridge
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot if only I could even sleep until 8 I would be super happy 🤣. Mind you it was a really irritating noise, you would never have known Tricia was irritated though as she hid it so well....😁
I have recently found your site and really like your vlogs. I was disappointed though about your attitude to the wood chipper. From my experience the French start work earlier than people in England and Scotland. This is part of their culture and when visiting other countries I believe it’s important to respect difference. I get it might have been annoying but just move, no big deal. I wish I had the luxury to sleep past 8am with my dogs 😂
@@marijayne9644 Thanks, glad you found us. The pollarding work on the trees could have been done any time over the winter, certainly before they opened the site. It was not simple grass or hedge cutting, this was extremely loud, people go to these sites for peace and quiet and relaxation. They did not tell us when we booked the day before we arrived and no signs up. We very seldom have the luxury of sleeping past 8am, I am normally out with Keira at 6a.m. but we arrived late after a long drive. We complained to the Camping Car Parks helpdesk afterwards, the chap said they had been inundated with complaints and apologised that the site owner had not told them about the work that was being done. Obviously didn't want to put people off booking.
This is a holiday site,end of story. People pay for a break and a rest. This job could have been done during the winter close down.. 12 noon would of been crap.. Very poor decision by the site owners.. I bet there was no reduction in the rates..
Interesting - I've been watching a series on Amazon Prime called *Into the Wild Frontier - about America's first Mountain Men and Women to explore into the west - mostly trapping beaver for the pelts to make those High Top Beaver hats the gent is wearing !! Wow that's interesting :) Small world ;)
Yes interesting, the early settlers would have known the hats from their origins and then just used what ever material was available to them...beaver.👍
The type of pruning on the trees is called pollarding to reduce the height for aesthetics, it can be done any time over the winter and early spring before regrowth starts so they should have done it before the site opened for the season or they could have closed the site on these days or made people aware when booking, or at the very least put notices up. People go to these sites for peace and quiet, and it was going on all day, this was not simple grass cutting, also they blocked off the service points for water can emptying toilet cassettes.
Why did you moan about the guys with the wood chipper ?....that is part of country life....and it was after 8 am...and those guys don´t know that you are long sleepers...did anybody else on the camp site complain about them ?.......after all they have got a job to do and just doing what their boss told them to

8am? If I’m not up and about way before that I feel as though I’m missing the best part of the day and I’m retired! 😁😂🤣
We are retired too, and usually up at 6am to take the dog out, but after a late night we fancied a long lie in 💤 🛏 😴
That’s you told Mike😀 Tricia has spoken so off you go 😂
I was being diplomatic, Tricia is far less so 🤣👍💕🐾
Darn wood chipper ! Time to relocate. Enjoy some quiet . Thanks for the castle tour ❤️
Yes definitely the right decision to move on, don't know why they couldn't have done that before the site opened for the season 😕
Loved all the architecture in Montrichard. Looking forward to your next episode 🙂
Thanks, it was one of our favourite stops, apart from the chipper that is 👍
Without doubt the best campervan/travel channel i have found. Thank you for your efforts and great content x PS the chipping noise would make me move lol
That's very kind to say so, thanks. We definitely made the right decision to move on 👍💕🐾
I think you made an excellent joint decision. Take care Gill
Thanks Gill, glad to noticed it was a joint decision 😉
8 that late in Harry lol 😂 - lovely village and great drone shots - thanks for sharing
Thanks, it was meant to be a long lie for us, but no such luck👍
Thanks for sharing an interesting video with lots of history included... I agree with Tricia on moving on!!!!
Thanks Diana, what you mean you agree with Tricia? Didn't you notice it was a joint decision? 😉
Great to see that beautiful fortress, thank you.
Thanks, yes it was amazing to see all that history 👍💕🐾

Great look around and the Castle was very beautiful. Drone view was excellent. The bridge was gorgeous. Stay if they will finish later that day.
Thanks, I nearly flew into the crane though, had to veer off to the left quickly.

@@MegaBreadvan yes exactly, we expect common sense to prevail with these things and express our frustration when it doesn't 🙄
Joint decision lol, but I am with Tricia, go, go, go. What beautiful architecture in the village.
Yep the history and architecture were something else, glad you supported the "joint " decision 👍
Shame about the noise but the village was nice and peaceful. You're very good with the drone. Fantastic footage. As for the decision to " should we stay or should we go, i think it was an open and shut case,,,,, objection my lord.... OVERRULED!!!! 😄😄👍👍
You should have been a judge mate, I wouldn't argue with your ruling on that one👍💕🐾🤣
Joint decision. Of course! But what a great historical town, and Kiera got to go in too!
Yep, it's great when Keira gets to come, she even got into the museum which we didn't expect 👍🐾💕
Don’t we just love a democracy 😂😂😂😂 . Loved the historic update as usual thanks for that. Looking forward to the next one. Safe journey as always from Coatbridge
Hi James, yep always a joint decision 👍as I'm sure you fully appreciate 🤣
And I thought only the pommies are wingers!!!!
They are, but prize goes to the aussies, a wee bit of cold weather and they moan for days.
“Joint decision” meaning she would break your joint.
Ah, but which one?🤣
What's wrong with 8 in the morning? Seems a reasonable time 😁
Fair enough if we had known about it in advance, but they don't tell you because they know you will go elsewhere and they will not get their money.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot if only I could even sleep until 8 I would be super happy 🤣. Mind you it was a really irritating noise, you would never have known Tricia was irritated though as she hid it so well....😁
@@brianridley1102 yes she is good at that🤣

When there are other choices, why hang around? At least you had a good day in the town without the noise! YAM xx
Thanks and yes we sure did have a great day out and it was definitely the right thing to do to move on👍🐾💕
