      Of course, I would. And I would take a dip in the river like Benedikte. Seems like a great place for a writing retreat.

    Simon, great stuff! Caught by chance on tour Scotland trip video, since then utterly hooked! Gradually kneading my way through your content. We (me & Hugo) did a camper trip around Norway (stunning country, love your aquavit) though in winter, so couldn’t really get too north of Bergen. That said, your gf wears such lovely sweaters (there’s a teal & mustard yellow ones in particular) where did she get them from? Keep travelling, keep inspiring and both be well xx

      @@SimonBraeck Oh nooo, whats up with Mr Norris? Our van broke down yesterday too. The steering wheel turns but doesn't turn the wheels. Luckily it broke when we were turning around rather than on a main road. The moral of the story is that if you ever get a clunk from your steering get it looked into straight away!! Hopefully I'll get it fixed on Thursday, it's the steering relay box that failed.

    • @SimonBraeck
      @SimonBraeck  4 роки тому

      The brakes were bad and it was about time they were replaced. Glad we did that, because the pads were basically non-existing... And suddendly we got a bad, sort of humming sound when we went for a longer drive. Seems like the wheel bearings in the back is the source. Oh darn, glad that didn’t happen in high speed! That’s noted🤓🤓 The life of a T3 owner...😂
