Hi, We are Keith & Michele & we want to share our life adventures with you. After a scary 2023, we have gone back to our caravan holidays. Life is all about travel, adventure & exploring, making the most of life. Join us along the way, it will be a lot of fun for all of us! We welcome you to our experience & look forward to hearing from you, Keith & Michele xxx
Thanks for the tip. Got a valve from Kwikfit and used the spare intake connector and got 2litres out of the caravan. Cost me nothing and saved me a lot.
Unfortunately you didn't mention the medical test required for the renewal application form. On reaching 70, I had to go and have the medical and I'm normally in good health, however when attending the medical my blood pressure was unusually high, normally it is OK,. This put me in a position where I could fail the medical and lose my licence, luckily my doctor had a record of my blood pressure for the last few months, so That was acceptable and I passed the medical. Now I'm 73 and have to go through this process again. Older drivers need to be aware of this.
Hi Keith and Michele. Love watching you videos. Regarding the free wifi on CAMC sites we have found on the sites we have visited this year that you can browse all day as long as you log in again when the time runs out.😀
Hi, I saw a video I can't find, of you showing a fuse kit for the caravan. Can you please tell me the make and where I can buy them? Thanks guys 👍🏻 really appreciate all your vlogs and help in all matters concerning caravaning.
The vinegar trick has worked for me too. Plagued with the issue of squeaking creaking tow ball hitch connection for years! Tried the standard remedies on the tow ball, so Ii finished off with 800 emery paper cleaned with brake cleaner then applied a small amount of vinegar to a piece of kitchen towel wiped over the ball, dried off with a second piece. Cleaned the friction pads with 400 cleaned with brake cleaner. Not a peep now. I apply the vinegar before each trip.The tow ball has polished up where the friction pads touch like I've never seen before. Brilliant so pleased to have a result on this. Many thanks Keith👍
Hi both we just love your videos, I hope you are doing better now Keith as I am also, I remarked a while back when you were recovering and we were very happy that we saw you were on the mend and Michelle was also back to form with you… lovely funny people. Thanks to you both Sharon and myself are off to Staffordshire tomorrow to look at a two bed Swift 480 elegance after watching you both. You have put us back in the mindset of owning a caravan again so thank you both for entertaining us and making us fall in love again with being free with a caravan. Fingers crossed it’s an ok van. Love all your videos warm regards Dave and Sharon Cumbria xx
It states on our insurance that both wheel locks need to be fitted when on site or in storage. We all know how precise you have to be fitting Al-Ko locks. So do you pick up one wheel ( like having a puncture ) rotate wheel, fit lock, then deflate and fit the other before final levelling. ?
Hi keith & michelle great vlog as always,love watching you both, pub looked great as did the food,hope keith bought you another wine after spilling your other one 😂😂 take care xx
Wow couldn’t believe that the vinegar tip WORKS! Brilliant no more squeaky towing and at the ready for any fish and chips. Thank you. Always enjoy your videos.
Gosh, what a huge capital expenditure. It looks lovely but something about that really saddens me. It just goes to show what exposure can do for wealth creation and opportunity. If only people would flock to their own local and small businesses.
Hi @jamesdecross1035 Clarkson is doing a lot to help local farmers, creating a cooperative in this local area for many to sell their produce & goods. Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.
Great video guys and good to see followers of your channel, where ever you follow a celeb its going to be busy and expect to pay a higher price for there food, as long as its quality. Reading and watched on yours and other channels he is providing good quality British produce ,i 100% support Jeremy what hes doing,A voice for british farmers
Hi @David-ws6zr Many thanks for watching & thank you for your lovely words of support for Jeremy Clarkson ❤️ Great pub, fabulous food, superb location, fantastic ethics 🤗 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
Hi Keith and Michele a great video as ever and it looks like Jeremy has made a great job of the pub and I agree it’s important to support British farmers I definitely think he will do well and hope to visit sometime hope you are enjoying your stay in the Cotswolds all the best to you both daniel
Hi @danielrussell446 Many thanks for your kind words Daniel ❤️ Definitely worth visiting, Jeremy Clarkson has done a great job 🤗 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
Hi @nssimpson Many thanks for watching, we certainly didn’t expect to see Jeremy Clarkson, he’s got a farm to run 😍 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
Wow I gasped when you said you drank Australian Sauvignon. but then you quickly corrected yourself . Phew . You cannot beat a good Marlborough Sauvignon .😊
Hi @warrenlancaster286 🫣 Slip of the tongue 🤗 Must have been that half pint of Hawkstone Cider 😍 Many thanks for watching, Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
Looks a good day out! I also share your support for Jeremy and our great British farmers, will have to get up there soon. Thanks for another enjoyable video.👍
Ah thanks for sharing your day out, pricey, £25 for a baseball cap😮 I'm too much of a miser to pay that for food, but most of all i couldn't, nor would spend so much time queuing. The place does look amazing though. I enjoyed this vid, thanks Keith & Michele ❤
Hi Keith and Michelle. Absolutely cracking vlog, 👏 🇬🇧🇬🇧. The food price is relevant to the quality 👌. Sorry, Michelle's wine got spilt 😢. Happy to see you met so many subscribers, hopefully it will be us someday 🙏 Clarkson should be the next PM 😅, Take care and stay safe as always. Paul and Joanne 👍 ♥️
Hi @Meggy6571 Many thanks for your kind words Paul & Joanne ❤️ It was a wonderful day, great food & wonderful to chat with so many people 🤗 Unfortunately, we didn’t see Jeremy Clarkson… he must have been campaigning 😆 Sending our very best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele xxx
Looks like a good day out we used to go when it was the windmill fantastic Sunday lunch shame it's gone but to be fair the food looked good thanks for sharing your day
Hi @peterdavies-el1jx Many thanks for watching Peter ❤️ We had a fabulous day at the new Farmers Dog. Hope you get to visit again & enjoy the good food. Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
Hi @rogerbixley6911 Many thanks for watching Roger ❤️ We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Farmers Dog. Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
We live only a few minutes away and went there la couple of Friday's ago at 5.30pm - we queued and got in at 6pm and saw Jeremy outside while we were waiting. Our table was ready at 6.45 and I had the Lancashire hotpot which was delicious. Jeanette had the steak pie, which was also delicious. I'm not much of a drinker, I occasionally have a pint of lager with a meal, and this time I tried the Hawkstone premium - it was lovely. It's very nice in there ( we used to go when it was called the Windmill a few years ago), they have done it out very nicely. Although the menu was limited, the food was superb and in my opinion not really expensive either, taking into account that it's in the Cotswolds. I'm surprised that anyone found the food not satisfactory, everyone I spoke to had nothing but praise for the quality. Keep safe both. Steve n Jeanette
Hi @steve1962 Many thanks for sharing your experience Steve & Jeanette ❤️ It’s great to hear other opinions of Clarksons pub 🥰 Sending our very best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele xxx
Great vlog you two as ever x Always a good stay in The Cotswolds Nice feast on the table there , real glasses too … No pineapples or sausages on sticks tho?? H & S 😘
Hi @HowardB54 Many thanks for your kind words Howard & Sandra ❤️ Hope you’re both enjoying the sunshine 😘 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
You guys missed a treat last weekend. The Bailey Owners Club biennial Bailey Factory Tour Rally in Easter Crompton just off the M5 at Cribbs Causeway. Tours around the Large Panel Plant at Clevedon, followed by a tour of Bailey's main site with Simon Howard giving an introductory presentation then tours of the new Endeavour campervan line, the new small panel facility, the caravan line, the replenishment stores and the motorhome line followed by refreshments and an opportunity to chat with Bailey directors and people from Alde, Truma and Thetford. A video reversing game and caricature artist pictures. Back at the rally field a charity auction of caravanning gear, then live music in the marquee with the Bailey directors in attendance til late. Sunday morning presentation of awards and badges plus wallys, including one for Simon Howard, followed by the biggest raffle I've ever seen. All raising £4,000 for charity. All superbly organised with support from Bailey and their staff on the rally field sorting any problems owners might have, along with a couple of guys from Dometic checking out fridges. A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting weekend. And it didn't rain and was mostly full sun, though cold overnight.
Hi @steamdrivenandy6880 Many thanks for sharing this Andy ❤️ Sounds like you had a fabulous weekend 😍 Sending our very best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
We too removed our baileys smile and it looks so much better. Awaiting to see the vinegar tip to see if it works. Also what precisely did you use at the back of the letter which go yellow. You say vinyl but what was it please.
Hi Keith and Michele a great video as ever I can’t believe sites can be that pedantic on times! I totally agree with you though it’s lovely to be away no feeling like it! We love the Cotswolds and from our house in the West Midlands it’s about an hour or so to reach them every place is so different and beautiful Love bourton on the water and we always have a chip supper on the green by the river! Also love snowshill, stow on the wold as well Broadway is also worth a drive especially at Christmas and there is a lovely caravan site there and you can get steam train to Cheltenham Looks like you had a wonderful time and great to catch up with your friends all the very best to you both Daniel
Hi @danielrussell446 Thank you so much for your lovely words Daniel ❤️ Greatly appreciated 🥰 It’s such a beautiful part of the country to visit, but there’s never enough time to see everything. We’ll just have to go back 😍 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
Hiya... looks like you had a great time.(I approved of the table of food however lol) looking forward to more take care Paolo and Rog 'The Camp Caravanners'
Many thanks for watching @paoloallen ❤️ We had a wonderful time Paolo & Roger, we’ll be sure to pass on your compliments regarding the food 🥰 Sending our best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele xxx
We arrived one minute before ‘opening’ on a CAMC site and was asked to reverse back down the drive! Best thing was, the site ‘person’ was standing at the barrier with a clip board, just standing, not on their lunch or anything! This was our first trip out and had travelled quite a few miles. We’re we one minute early or was it my watch reading the wrong time? Needless to say, upon renewal we didn’t! Great vid, as per usual 😊
Hi @carolinemaxwell2153 Many thanks for watching Caroline ❤️ The CAMC sites are strict, but they also have many benefits associated with them…Keith just doesn’t like rules 🫣🥰😍 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
Hi @paulwest6262 Many thanks for watching ❤️ It’s such a beautiful area, definitely recommend a visit to The Cotswolds, so full of history 🥰 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
Now I found your video and though,I have been there it still fills me up with speechless emotion 🥹🥹🌺🩷 I went there as a birthday request,on my birthday first week of July,19 years ago. A beautiful warm day,everything vibrant,beautiful- everything. I did see her bedroom. I did see a small room in the stables showcasing some of her iconic,beautiful dresses and her wedding dress. The house was just so beautiful- timeless,steeped in history and I was filled with many emotions. I wanted to pay respects to princess Diana and also see a glimpse of her childhood. This was amazing. I would consider this a lifetime trip ! Xx
Hi @uglenddalejones2 Many thanks for watching ❤️ We’re so pleased you enjoyed your visit to Althorp 🥰 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
@@keithandmichele thank you. I felt very emotional watching this video…I’m sure you felt it while there too. I’d love to go back,finding someone to take me is near ion Impossible.i often think about althorp as one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited,as well as Diana. I still have a few gifts and small book from my homage years ago. Some small candles in glass and they still smell of roses xxxx
Hi Keith and Michelle, It did sound like Cherry Hinton. Unfortunately, we had a similar frosty greeting a few yrs ago, thankfully we and others were just left to queue 😮. Moreton in marsh is a lovely site as are all the sites around the Cotswolds. As for the WiFi, yes it can be an issue especially if required for business. Hope you have a great holiday and enjoy the show. Take care as always. Paul and Joanne 👍 ♥️
Hi @Meggy6571 Many thanks for watching Paul & Joanne ❤️ Totally agree, The Cotswolds is absolutely stunning 😍 Sending our best wishes to you both, Keith & Michele xxx
We stayed at Moreton in Marsh in June we were lucky enough to be there in that one glorious week we had. We loved it too. Just past the entrance to the dog walk area are some Experience Freedom Pods. My sister stayed in one with her dog while we were in the caravan, it worked really well. My husband is still recovering from our shopping at The Cotswold company flagship store. Looking forward to the next one.
Hi @sandrapearson728 Many thanks for watching Sandra ❤️ So pleased you enjoyed your trip to Moreton In Marsh 😍 Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele xxx
