British on the way out French on the way back.
Have you noticed Dan seems to have a continual "cold" (allergies, sinus infections?). Is this what his life will now be going forward after working in the chateau ruins for the past year? He always sounds nasally and red nose. His recent vlog showed 12 months ago to the day when the first beam was cut and no "nazzle" sounds could be heard.
Maybe she has a French and a UK passport my husband when he travels brings both of his Jordanian and his US passport just in case somebody asks

This was my grandfather, who landed on Normandy, he made it out but his brother Anthony is still in France.If you should take them to London then the Churchill war rooms might really interest them. I took my son when he was about 10 or 11.

Didn't the couple on Chateau to Farmhouse do a vlog on that location? I can remember Peter discussing it and given it the reverence it was due.
I don't know as I didn't really follow them - I'll look put for that.
Thank you for sharing that. I have found it and will watch it later.

Upon arriving back at the shitoo I like how Fanny said she was retiring to her boudoir to play with Ratso rather than her beloved fiance....
Got to pretend to be in the UK for 181 days a year to be a UK tax resident!!
Congratulations @AndAnotherName thread #312 is yours to name. 
Yes she has both to timey wimey make it look as though she spends more than 6 months in the UK to pay taxes there and save €€€€
Now my mum is 94, I occasionally hear new stories - the D Day news items jogged her memory and she told me she remembers seeing planes flying overhead off to invade France and they had white stripes on them that they'd never seen before. They lived in BourneEnd - just west of London along the Thames.Congratulations to you too mine's a G&T

I've visited the invasion beaches, cemeteries, Pegasus Bridge and Sainte Mere Eglise several times over the years and it never fails to make me cry.
I'm guessing it still does and sadly I can't remember the tune but each day in the American cemetery a tune is played of a song that was popular the day they died.
The German cemeteries are equally moving and there was one we went to which had an inscription over the entrance that read, remember some of these men, it was not their choice to be here.
I've been doing family history for some time and we've done some research into Mr Spratt's maternal Grand Father.
We've found out that not only was he rescued from the beaches at Dunkirk, he was then sent back out to the mediterranean ending up being captured by the Italians and put in a prisoner of war camp.
He escaped from there, helped by resistance fighters and ended up in Switzerland.
Mr Spratt knew hardly any of this info as his Grandad never ever spoke of it, as was the case with so many because of the horrors they saw. He never accepted his medal either.
Mr Spratt said his Grandad was such a lovely kind and gentle man, it's terrible to think what he witnessed.
So very interesting.
She was def. not zooming around London on a bus - about 3 weeks ago I was in the Islington area & took various buses in & out of Angel - I can't tell you how many road works/diversions/ driver changes etc there were to make every journey in central London last longer than an average Ryanair flight to France. She would have vlogged out of sheer boredom & to rack up the content as you said but I bet she just Ubered door to door everywhere - but why not say it, they're not that exorbitant as I know - In the end bus fatigue got the better of me & losing half the day trying to get anywhere was too time consuming so I came to rely on Uber for the remaining journeys rather than the Tube.
That's the one i think, Blaenavon.

Got to pretend to be in the UK for 181 days a year to be a UK tax resident! I'm one of the 2- passport jugglers - the British one for entering the UK & the other for Europe, making queuing shorter & less hassle - this is probably the reason that SJ has 2 when travelling - she has French nationality as well.

There's also one at Blaenau Festinniog. Not far from where my relatives are from.

Did anyone see this today and think it looks like Huge Grunt? No offense intended to Jeanne Córdova.
@T Rex this is exciting to know Captain Sandy will be back on below deck. I did not enjoy the last season at all. The guest were a tiny bit junkie and I did not love the crew so I will be excited to see a local on below deck. Captain Sandy is bad ass. I tried to below deck sailing as my brother is a sailing kind of guy and his bought a 1979 something something sailboat and he sells in a lake in Fort Worth, Texas. But alas, I didn’t really find that interesting.
Totally get the 180 days thing, but was she not fannying about, some time back, with some Irish passport fantasy involving a grandparent because getting a French passport was too difficult (probably because Isabelle and Derek never bothered doing the extensive paperwork to register her birth via consular channels when she was born. In Glasgow, I believe. Gaun yersel, Fanny!)
she's got a bald patch
