We open the window blind and are really surprised to see a thick layer of snow has fallen, but what to do? We decide to leave it for a day before we move on into new adventures.
Hi Margaret, France is such a big country and such changeable weather. I am sure that you will thoroughly enjoy your holiday in France safe travels when they come.😀
Hi, so glad you are enjoying our vlogs and the new van is fantastic. The van came with a 100w solar panel on the roof. We have the standard swift fitted leisure battery not sure what it is. We are considering a lithium battery but waiting to see how the van performs with standard fitments before changing.
WOW, that snow went quick 🙂 Wine and bagettes, lovely 🙂 Like the idea of the magnets to dry of the towels, think Debz will look into getting some of them 🙂 Your like us, attacrating the bad wetather 🙂 Take care, Trev Debz and Tyler ( who says woof woof to keira ) xx
Hi Trev, Debz and Tyler (woof right back at you). it did go very quick hate it when Mike is right😂 The wine and baguettes did improve the situation. I love using magnets used them a lot in our previous van. Thanks for watching😀
Wow, I didn’t expect you to have snow that far south in France! Very sensible waiting for it to thaw before venturing out. Isn’t it funny how some places in France are like ghost towns. Keep your adventures coming! 😊
Hi Anna, we left Scotland to get away from the snow. Don't take Mike's side I'll never hear the end of it😂. It is strange how there is no-one about in some villages. Glad you are enjoying the video thanks for watching.😀
Snow! Sacra bleu!! Didn’t expect that in the south of France. Poor weather absolutely spoiled your usual informative videos, shame. Head for the sun great idea, looking forward to the golden circle in the next one. P.S rain, rain and more rain in Coatbridge! Please send us some sun once you find it. Safe driving J & A
Hi James, we were high up near the mountains at that location so should've expected snow. Sunshine sent your way hopefully it won't get lost in transit. Thanks for watching. Mike and Tricia
I feel for you. All that snow and rain. Except for all the old historic stuff. You could be in Ohio we are having similar weather. Hardly a day with out rain. Safe travels
Thank goodness for Wine & Baguettes they always improve the situation. I imagine that was a bit of a surprise waking up to snow. Thanks for the upload.
Well I wasn’t expecting snow !!! Looks like you did the right thing and stay out for 24 hours I was hoping a demo of a sacrifice so a tad disappointed 😂
Hari Om As I sit in The Grey at New Lanark Top Park in yet another blatter of rain, I think to myself, I quite like 'fallow' days, to catch up on vlogs and blogs and maybe a bit of crochet too! In fact, I am enjoying the tranquillity so much, I think I'll hang around for a few nights. Not many places I want to (or can) do that! I also love the 'stick a pin in the map' approach... YAM xx
Hi I'm glad to hear that Scotland hasn't let us down with the rain its producing. I love the sound of rain on the van its somehow very comforting knowing that you are safe, warm and dry. Safe travels😀
We are a retired couple from Melbourne Australia. We do similar things in our 6.23M Renault Master Matrix Built Motorhome. Love a wine with bread and some vegan cheese (we are not animal/meat eaters). Love your Motorhome by the way.
Hello You Three - greetings from Poland Bad weather! I hope it did not stop your enjoyment too much. Another lovely video. I loved it. The bagettes looked delicious along with the wine.
Hi Michael, greetings from France. Bad weather doesn't spoil it for us just makes for an interesting video😂. Pizza and wine was fabulous. Thanks for watching and enjoying.😀
I did laugh at the start of the video, poor Tricia still in bed and Mike gets out and leaves the door wide open. 😂😂 That snow was to remind you of home. 😂 Those home made little pizzas and wine looked good. Take care 👍 🐸
Well that was a bit of a surprise. Wasn't expecting snow to feature in one of your videos. Definitely a good idea to head south to warmer climes. We are finally having some sunnier days inbetween the days of deluge so hope you come across lots of warmth and sunshine. Oh! Crusty French baguettes 😋
Hi Jane, we were so surprised when we opened the blinds and saw snow😮. We did indeed find warmer climates and totally agree Oh!! crusty French baguettes. Thanks for watching😀
Enjoying your trip. If you are going to use the péages, it's a good idea to subscribe to a badge system. No stopping for a ticket or paying at the booth. Much easier for a UK vehicle. You only pay for it in the month you use it and it's only a couple of €s. Then the monthly total is debited from your bank the following month. In France I could "sponsor" you and you'd get 6 months free but in UK, you can usually subscribe through the Camping associations for a discount, I think.😎
Hi Pam I had looked at the badge system but didn't think we would use it. Will certainly get it for the next trip. Thank you so much 🙏🏻 for offering to "sponsor" us thats very kind of you will get in touch if we go ahead with another trip to France. thanks for watching😀
Hi Nigel. having wine at a planning meeting is essential it keeps everyone calm and you can't blame anyone the next day because you can't remember who decided what🤣 Thanks for watching😀
Hi Mike & Tricia loving your adventures and you tube videos can’t wait to pick up our 144 shortly to start our adventures Can I ask two questions please What is the make and model drone you use love the shots and wondered what it is and you mentioned you bought a Fiamma Tripod table leg and wanted to ask as we are getting a 144 as well was there a particular size to but for that table ? Many thanks again Jed
Hi thanks for watching glad you are enjoying the video. when we use the heating on electric hook up it does heat up the van, but when I saw the snow and it was really cold also used gas to boost it and it became very toasty.
Great to be able to hunker down in your lovely campervan in bad weather. Imagine if you'd still been in "wee brun van"!😂. Great video, thank you. Xx
Hi Janet, we always seemed to manage in oor wee broon van but it is so much better in oor Daphnie. Glad you enjoyed the video thanks for watching.😀
Hope you get nice weather 🙏 it’s been raining here non stop in Co.Clare Ireland 🇮🇪 looking forward to holiday in France soon stay warm and safe 😎😊
Hi Margaret, France is such a big country and such changeable weather. I am sure that you will thoroughly enjoy your holiday in France safe travels when they come.😀
Loving your vlogs, great you are enjoying your new van
Snow!
Safe travels
What is your solar and battery set up in your new van?
Standard lead/acid Lifesure battery or have you gone Lithium.
Hi, so glad you are enjoying our vlogs and the new van is fantastic. The van came with a 100w solar panel on the roof. We have the standard swift fitted leisure battery not sure what it is.

Hi Dave, we really don't mind a bit of snow and rain used to it coming from Scotland. Hope the weather improves for you. Thanks for watching.😀
Thank goodness for Wine & Baguettes they always improve the situation. I imagine that was a bit of a surprise waking up to snow. Thanks for the upload.
Hi wine always does improve situations and the pizza baguettes helped too. Certainly was a surprise that there was snow. thanks for watching😀
I wish I was more Tricia and got to drive our 6m van!!! My husband wouldn’t relax so it’s pointless😂. Hope you found some sun and warmth!!
Hi Ruth, you need to offer incentives to get him to let you drive eg wine, beer etc😂. We headed towards where there was sun. thanks for watching.😀
Well I wasn’t expecting snow !!! Looks like you did the right thing and stay out for 24 hours
I was hoping a demo of a sacrifice so a tad disappointed 😂
Hi you two, you had to agree with Mike didn't you😠. I was all up for a sacrifice but Mike was too quick for me🤣
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot ah I missed a bowl of contention - but if Mike had a pair he could of gone lol how’s that for diplomacy
It’s a hunk o rock!! EWK storey about the druids! Lovely research Tricia , ta for sharing.
Brave guys for going out in the rain. Well done.
Hi aye but its a hunk o rock with history so it becomes a tourist location😂. We do love a gory story. Thanks for watching.😀
Keira’s towel must have got soaked. I’d have hunkered down as well. Take care Gill
Hi Gill, her towel was soaking just as well we brought spares and that it is a quick dry doggy towel.😀

Kierra's little eyebrows watching you eating lunch was adorable. She was watching every bite.
Hi we had paid the cheese tax so had to pay an additional doggy treat tax🦴Thanks for watching😀

Thanks Keith, sounds like we have a lot in common Tricia does not eat meat, I do but cutting back a lot now, makes more room for extra cheese🤣👍💕
Another entertaining video. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The pizza baguettes looked delicious.
Hi thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video. The pizza baguettes were fabulous with the strong French cheese.😀
Hi Tricia and Mike, Imagine driving all that way just to get Scottish weather 😂. Looking forward to the next video.
Hi Colin, I know left Scotland to escape horrible weather but did move on to more sunnier locations. Thanks for watching😀
Hello You Three - greetings from Poland

Nicely told 👍
Hi glad you enjoyed it👍
Enjoying your videos. I am sure with the unexpected weather you are enjoying the extra space of the van to be able to hunker down. Enjoy. g
Hi Gordon, its fantastic to have extra space in our previous van we certainly were more cramped. Thanks for watching😀
nice changeable weather guys. Our Cherry tree blossomed yesterday in Yorkshire. and we got a cloudy morning and sunny afternoon. keep chasing the sun
Hi it seems that France is slightly ahead of UK with their blooms. We certainly did chase the sun😀
I did laugh at the start of the video, poor Tricia still in bed and Mike gets out and leaves the door wide open. 😂😂
That snow was to remind you of home. 😂
Those home made little pizzas and wine looked good.
Take care 👍 🐸
Hi 🐸 that man has no consideration when he is videoing🤣🤣. We left Scotland to escape the snow. Pizza was good and wine was even better.😀
Watching from South Carolina USA. Love your adventures keep it up. We are touring the United States in our camper van this summer .
Hi Danny so glad you are enjoying our videos. I hope you are getting better weather when touring with your camper in the US. Safe travels😀

Loving your adventures! I may pinch your strategy for future planning meeting - to be accompanied with wine! ☺
Hi Nigel. having wine at a planning meeting is essential it keeps everyone calm and you can't blame anyone the next day because you can't remember who decided what🤣 Thanks for watching😀
Another spanner in the works …… in the form of snow !
Hi Bill, certainly didn't expect snow but I suppose were were high up.😀
Shame about the weather, it’s been very wet back here in Edinburgh. Hope it gets better for you going south. X
We’re watching rugby from Bordeaux and it’s 29 degrees. (Saturday 13th). Hope you got some sunshine. 🌞
Hi we decided to move south and the weather did get much better. Enjoy Bordeaux safe travels home.😀
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot If only. 🌞. We were watching on TV. X
I am a relatively newcomer on your channel, which I am enjoying. One thing that is on my mind Mike, do you ever drive?
Hi we tend to do trip about when driving as we both love to drive Daphnie. So glad you are enjoying our videos, thanks for watching😀
YAY!!!!
Yo!!!!!
Thanks for another great video. Could I ask what the music clip was whilst you were driving
It's called Deep and Abiding by Victor Lundberg and it's on Epidemic Sounds which is royalty free music that we subscribe to. Thanks for watching 👍
Hi Mike & Tricia loving your adventures and you tube videos can’t wait to pick up our 144 shortly to start our adventures
Can I ask two questions please
What is the make and model drone you use love the shots and wondered what it is and you mentioned you bought a Fiamma Tripod table leg and wanted to ask as we are getting a 144 as well was there a particular size to but for that table ?
Many thanks again Jed
Hi Jed, I use the DJI Mini 2, I think they are on v4 now. The tripod feet is just the one size.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot Thanks for the info much appreciated keep the You Tube Video's coming love them ....Enjoy !!
Good video, does your van stay warm with the heating?
Hi thanks for watching glad you are enjoying the video. when we use the heating on electric hook up it does heat up the van, but when I saw the snow and it was really cold also used gas to boost it and it became very toasty.
