Hi guys. Great to see you start a new adventure, looking forward to sseing where you end up. Nice to see you back in France, we are in France at the moment staying in Daglan in the Dordogne. Take care guys.
Hi there buddy, hope you're well and are enjoying your time in France....even though the weather is somewhat unusual for this time of year. Safe travels and keep your eye out for Freddie, we live not too far north from your location. Take care and all the very best as always. Tony and Claire.
Evening Claire and Tony hope you are both well. Really looking forward to Northern Spain, I really only know Santander and Bilbao apart from flying over on route to Portugal. I understand both the coast and inland are beautiful and unspoilt. ❤❤🚐🇪🇸Al
Good afternoon Al, hope you're well buddy. All we can say is, our short time in Northern Spain was nothing but spectacular and is a far less travelled region than our last Spanish adventure....peaceful and the scenery; well, we hope you enjoy the series. Our thanks and appreciation as always, take care and all the best, Tony and Claire. 👍💙❤️🚐📷🇪🇸
Thanks Eric for watching another one, glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the bridge was a beautiful thing to stumble across and fortunately, not a rare sight in France; the villages are mostly beautiful. Many thanks again for watching and for taking the time to leave the comment. All the very best, Tony and Claire. 👍💙❤️🚐📷🇫🇷
We bet you can't wait, Spain is a fantastic place to explore and get way from it all....and the weather helps🌞😎. Many thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave the comment, take care and all the best. Ps, sorry for the late reply. Cheers, Tony and Claire. 👍💙❤️🚐📷
Hi there Dave and Sue, hope you're well and many thanks for watching. Wow, one of our favourite cities, Rome is beautiful, even in 39 degrees temperatures......we're a little jealous. Have a great time exploring and safe travels our friends. Take care and all the best, Tony and Claire.
Hi my darlings , we're back in the room after a fantastic 3 weeks down in Normandy . Can only say how absolutely brilliant it was . Really enjoyed it and most of the time completely off grid or using camping car Aires . Must have eaten a baguette a day and God knows how many chips . Anyway , looking forward to the next adventure . Will be doing a big catch up this week . Take care both .
Hi ya Ken, welcome home mate. Great to hear that you enjoyed Normandy, hopefully the weather didn't spoil things and it's nice to hear that you stayed away from campsites our friend, nice one! Haha, baguettes and chips, the only French diet you need....we're still struggling to ease ourselves away from the 'everyday we must eat baguette' syndrome lol. Hope you managed to visit some of the or a D Day beach, they're a sight to behold. Take care our friend and good to have you back.
Indeed our friend, France welcomes the van tourist and appreciates the boost they give to the local economies. Brilliant system. Many thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave the comment. All the very best, Tony and Claire.
Great to have you back guys on a brand new adventure 😁. Somehow I missed the van tour video,so caught up with that, great wee van build guys 😎. Loved the bridge, only in France would you get something like that, just beautiful 😊. Well looking forward once again to spending Sunday night with you two and Freddie. Ps we also think you have the best intro music on UA-cam 😊. Have a great week guys 😎🏴🕊️
Hi there our Northern friends, we hope this finds you well👌👍. Glad you liked Ian's van tour, it was a great little thing to build and it makes us really happy (sometimes a wee jealous lol) to see him having such a great time in Reggie. Yep, probably some of the most beautiful villages in the world are in France, it's such a picturesque place👍📷💙❤️. Glad to hear that you are looking forward to seeing the new adventure on a Sunday night, we're glad that you are here for the ride with us once more❤️🚐. Haha, yep, when I (Tony) first heard the tune, I couldn't get it out of my head (good or bad thing, I'm still not too sure), but it is rather 'catchy' 🎶🎼👍. Our thanks as always our friends, take care and all the very best as always. 👍💙❤️🚐🙏
Hi Tony and Claire. Great to see your heading off on another adventure. However I was a bit worried when Tony said in the first few minutes " we're heading off in Earnest". Who's Earnest? and what have you done with "Freddie"?! ....😁 Ahh, Bridgette Jones make a quick appearance 😂 I like the sound of that French town , I think Claire said it was called " Super Ted the Bear", although my hearing isn't what it used to be😂😂. Great little video guys. We must get over to France, there's some lovely little places we've seen on your travels. Take care guys, looking forward to the next one. 👩🦲👩🦳🐕🚐🙂👍
😂👍🤣, 'Earnest'......now that's a great name for a van lol, we're keeping that one for a future van name👍😂. Lol, Bridget Jones definitely made an appearance and Claire laughed about it....I got away with it this time😂.
Whoops, fat finger👆, pressed send instead of return😂. Super Ted the Bear, we're both now giggling like kids🤣😂🤣😂. Too be fair, that about sums up our French language progress🇫🇷👍🤣. Absolutely, France is a brilliant place to visit and explore, is beautiful and setup for touring vans etc. And you, take care and all the very best as always our friends. 🤣👍💙❤️🚐🇫🇷📷
Just returned from a month in France first time with our Motorhome was very apprehensive but loved every minute of it your travels gave us the confidence to do it,so much were off back in September 😊😊👏👏thanks
Hi there. Incredible, so glad to hear that you have enjoyed France, it's very much a motorhome/campervan paradise....so many places to visit and motorhomes are welcome almost everywhere. If you haven't got it already, get the 'Camping car Infos' app; although in french, it's very much self explanatory and shows loads of Aire stopovers/campsites etc. Glad to hear that you are coming back. If we can help in anyway, let us know on here or Instagram. Take care and all the very best, Tony and Claire. 👍💙❤️🚐📷🇫🇷👍
Wonderful video Both. Possibly might be heading to Spain towards the end of the year. First chance to watch any videos in weeks as busy with the van festival season. Look forward to getting some warmer weather. If you find it can you box it up and send here lol Safe Travels Both. Love and Big Hugs ❤
Hi ya, sounds like you've been busy with the van meets, we must join you some time. That will be cool, Spain is a fantastic place to explore and of course, the weather is somewhat better than the UK. Useful tip, in Google maps, 'Area Recreativa' are useful park up areas, especially in rural areas. They are predominantly picnic areas, however, we use them for overnight all the time. Many thanks for watching and take care as always. Tony and Claire 👍💙❤️🚐📷🇫🇷
Never fancied France, as there’s so much still to see in the UK…however love these Aires…Wonder if our Local authorities will ever catch on…..great start to tour and looking forward to follow the journey.
Hi there. Yep, loads to see and do in the UK, loads we've still not seen. Yep, the Aire system in France is great for both the tourists and the local economy, brilliant system. Hopefully one day you might consider visiting France, it's definitely worth it, beautiful open spaces and spectacular scenery. Thank you, hope you enjoy the new adventure. Take care and all the very best, Tony and Claire.
Hi guys I not long had my 60th birthday 🎂. Had a lovely night out with 15 girlfriends was a hoot 👌 went out for dinner which was really lovely and really good fun but started this week off with a horrible bug that is going around. I thought it might have been the after effects of my birthday but quite a few people were not well with it ☹️coming up to summer holidays so lots of bugs going around 😮. That’s sounded like a nasty injury you got Tony🤦♀️. Anyway it’s nice to see you on a new Adventure. Take care and stay safe ❤👌👌
Firstly, sorry for the late reply. Wow, happy 60th birthday to you👍🎂💙❤️. By the sounds of it you certainly had a great time, but a shame about the bug; hopefully by now it's passed and you're back to normal. Yep, it's nearly silly season on Skye, that's why we only visit well out of season🏴💙❤️. Let's hope it doesn't get too busy on the island. Yes, a very painful experience, broken ribs are not an easy thing to nurse, just time is the healing remedy, never mind, onwards and upwards...again👍🤣. Thank you as always for watching and we both wish you all the very best. Take care, Tony and Claire. 👍💙❤️🚐📷
Hi there buddy, absolutely, steady as it goes lol🤣. Hmmm, yep, problems moving to France during/post Brexit means that we are unable to work for another 3 years😭, not so much retirement, more like forced unemployment🤣😂. We'll get there one day👍🤣🤞. Thanks for watching as always. 👍💙❤️🏴🚐📷
Hi guys another great vidio. Tony can you tell me is camping gaz freely available in France and if so where. We are going to do a 2 month trip this September in our VW camper and use the small camping gaz cylinders. Just scared of running out. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks mate and keep up the good work. Regards Mick
@@michaelteale6386 hi ya Mick. Yes, if you have a 907 bottle (2.7kg), they are available all over France and can be exchanged or bought in all of the big supermarkets, E. Leclerc, Intermarche, Super U etc. Little tip for another time, if you have a digital set of weighing scales, a full bottle weighs around 6.4kg and empty 3.7kg, this is how we keep an eye on Freddie's gas. Many thanks for watching and hope this helps. Have a great time when you visit France and if we can help in anyway whilst you're visiting, let us know and we'll do our best to assist. Take care and all the best, Tony and Claire.
Nice starter for many !! 😁 . 8 o clock to bed ........... the local birds would have been laughing at you !! You old romantics that you are 👩❤️👨 😂 . Good old Branston on the cheese sandwiches though ! 💪💪 Bring out the Branston ..... !😂 . Take care both of you and as always slàinte 💙🤎🥃🥃🥃👋
