102. I Don't Live in America! Why do this? plus Night-Time Walk (August 2024)

[@2010katak]

I would not use an adapter because the wattage used is fairly high. I vote to send it back due to safety issues

[@ninemoonplanet]

Agree with you, the power drain when using this machine could cause trouble. UK plugs have a ground, that plug doesn't.

[@dietlinderobinson9625]

Send it back ,having to use adaptors is never good ,and it could mean it negates the guarantee .

[@diannevenner-kc6gu]

Absolutely send it back. Your walk was beautiful 😍 scenery by the way. Very lucky living in Wales.

[@judimantos904]

There are lots of bread recipes that don’t require kneading, however you might need loaf pans or cast iron pot for baking.

[@judimantos904]

FREEZE YOUR BREAD!

[@Levantine68]

A quick and easy tomato soup and it’s really tasty. 1 Large onion chopped 2 tins of chopped tomatoes 1 large knob of butter Salt and pepper to taste Melt the butter in a large pan and the chopped onions and sauté until softened. Add the tinned tomatoes and let simmer for about 10 mins then blend until smooth add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy 😉

[@lindaannelineharwood4891]

Wonderful walk. Glad you decided not to keep the Bread Maker. Had one for about 20 years but I found it smelled so amazing I just couldn't stop eating the stuff. What worked a lot better for me - and I think you'd love the whole routine!) is doing 'no knead' breads in a big pot. You literally set the flour, oil, water and yeast (and nothing else!) in a bowl the night before, and somewhere around 14-24 hours later you punch it down, put it in a big pot and bake it at a very high heat in the oven. You end up with the most amazing peasant style loaf (very similar to Sour Dough, and I'm from near San Francisco, and we know our sour dough!). Not much work, and the most amazing bread in the world. Glad you're feeling better. I love to walk in a wooded park near my home, but I've taken to letting someone (even an email) know when I'm going and where I expect to go - wouldn't want to get lost at end of day and leave no breadcrumb trail at all for them to find me.....

[@suziemai1285]

Beautiful walk Sean, thanks for taking us along with you. The sound of silence is priceless, and good for the soul.

[@Lynne-plot35b-36b]

Lovely trip up the mountain today, Sean. What a lovely place to be.

[@SeaShoreAnnie]

Bore da Sean, Oh I so enjoyed that walk, thank you so much for taking us along, I’ve been dying to see the mountain in the middle of summer. We have seen winter & spring. I do so love our seasons🌻🍂🍄‍🟫🌲 The company that sold the bread maker must get so many returns. All that wasted time & energy, it’s insanity to do what they did. We’ve just got a simple Cookworks bread maker that we have had for years & we make low carb bread in it, it’s delicious. I took a screenshot of that rose & put it through the picture this app & it says it is a Rugosa Rose, also known as Hedge-bog rose, beach rose, Salt spray rose, Letchberry, Potato rose. Annie🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@keving331]

The tomato soup was so pricey because you’re buying a big brand (Heinz) and from the Coop which is generally one of the most expensive supermarkets. Nowadays there are excellent store-brand alternatives that sometimes cost just one-third of the big brands (Kellogg’’s versus own-brand cornflakes is another example). And often the own-brand product is made at the same factory as the big-brand.

[@packettoplate]

Hi sean your tea bags are £5.49 in aldi i would never pay £8.00 plus for them, in a which survey the co op was the second most expensive store to buy food next to waitrose nice to see the cost of living hasn't got to you yet thanks for sharing. take care

[@NavyCopMA1]

You may need to send it back because if it has an American plug it may also be 120 volts and not 230 volts (unless it is adjustable...). I have a bread maker as well, but haven't used it enough and need to more for sure. The canned soups are getting expensive as well. I think I'd rather make my own (Tomato Basil Bisque) because of the amount of salt in the canned stuff)

[@justmenicole4842]

The sugar in canned soup is even worst then the salt. A small can of condensed soup contains 4 teaspoons of sugar / cup 😮

[@RandomGreymane]

@@justmenicole4842this is devastating to those of us diabetic in nature. Which is a shame because my favorite dish is crock pot stuffed peppers in tomato soup.

[@debbiespitznagel1472]

That rose is called a Rosa Rugosa, Rugosa rose. We have them here, in Rhode Island, US and they commonly grow along the shore, and are also called beach roses by the locals. They also come in white and pink, and the smell is so wonderful

[@heidirobinson8734]

Rosa Rogusta can also be grown as a hedge.....it responds well t pruning....and produces good number of 'rose- hips' which help birds get through winter!

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

Beach Roses are the best. I grew some from rosehips from Newport RI. I live in Massachusetts and RI.

[@twpsy634]

You are absolutely right and they don't suffer from blackspot.😊

[@rhondafarmer4824]

Hi, I saw your yorkshire tea last time and I went and bought it. I have now changed to it as I'm also a big tea drinker. From NZ.

[@joannehutley5740]

It is so beautiful where you live. That walk right on your doorstep looks so relaxing you are lucky to have that. Thank you for another enjoyable video. You always make me smile you are a joy to watch.

[@glyndalf]

That'll be 120 volts. You could get a step down transformer but personally, I'd send it back.

[@emmafarr770]

When Kitty was sniffing the flower it's the same color as I think it's her eyes😊 so beautiful

[@carolynellis387]

Roast tomatoes and some lemon thyme in the oven. 20 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar last 5 minutes Push thru a sieve, adding a little extra stock, using enough tomatoes will make the correct thickness, just a matter of gauging it. Delicious and not difficult or time consuming

[@apace903]

My favorite tomato soup. Yummy😊

[@VilliGz7]

What a nice walk! I really enjoyed how green and nice it looks, and how much do you know about plants! 😊

[@seniorbutterfly1934]

Excellent video, the walk was lovely. It's nice to have memories of how it all use to look.

[@tc-1212]

I really look forward to each and every one of your videos. Your whole demeanour brings me so much peace and comfort. Like you, I love nature, I love to shop on a budget, I love antiques and anything old and worldy. I am so intrigued how the homestead will look next year. I can see that you have spent a lot of time, effort and patience creating it. I wish you only wild and wonderful times ahead..much love ❤️

[@lucylove1655]

Your evening walk and stories about the history and your memories was especially lovely!! Please do more of that. So much peace and beauty in Wales! 💛🧡💚

[@Jane_and_Meg]

Hi Sean, really enjoyed watching your wonderful, peaceful walk. I love hearing the stream so beautiful. Re the bread maker send it back I agree safest way. Ours is a Panasonic and has given us many good years of service. It has been cooler but only for the last couple of days here but still no rain! Meg is currently sitting on my lap which she does when it's cooler due to the fact her summer coat is probably not keeping her warm enough atm! Take care for now.

[@jpennturner]

We used a Panasonic breadmaking for years, it was great! Unfortunately I can't eat bread anymore due to diabetes.

[@angeladrummie4461]

Morning Sean, If you slice your sour dough bread and freeze it, you can then take out slices as you need them . Take care.

[@TracieBellhouse]

🎵 Little boxes, on the hillside, little boxes, made of ticky- tacky. Little boxes on the hillside ,little boxes , all the same!! 🎶 Shut off the natural flow of the mountain for the new 'boxes!' ? Crazy! My grandkids live in measteg. So beautiful 😉😘

[@deborahions443]

It actually states on Amazon uk purchase page for the bread maker that it is a US import and that it is being sold and shipped from the US.

[@yoda-teatime]

Abandoned railway lines that are turned into walking trails are wonderful. I live on just such a trail that used to be the CN, Canadian National, railway line that serviced rural areas and made it possible to settle the area. The trailways now support a thriving tourist industry for local business. Great video, I really enjoy your walks. Thanks for taking us along!

[@susanyates4233]

I bought Jersey Royals when they first came into the shops. EVen with mint and salt, they were tasteless. My husband grew Rosa Rugosa from fruits. We have a beautiful show of the flowers. Glad you are feeling better, Sean.

[@colleenmckinlay2916]

Definitely send that bread maker back. Amazon needs to get its act in order. Crazy!! What a lovely stroll. Thanks for taking us along. Gorgeous scenery and the sound of the river was perfect. I agree with you Sean…not the best position to have a house . Mother Nature can cause chaos very quickly. Glad that you are feeling better. 💕👍🏻

[@mrsmiggins6435]

You certainly do live in a beautiful part of the world Sean. That does sound daft to send a electrical appliance with an American plug. Enjoy the rest of the weekend 🤗

[@kidzngrandkidz840]

The co-op prices for what you purchased are extortionate, I get the same tea bags for £5.50 and the soup £3.75, I nearly died when I saw the tea bags at £8+ in Morrisons no doubt they will have a big reduced sign saying was/now and then sell them at the real price soon, can’t beat local shops though, when we had sugar shortages in the ‘70’s I remember our village shop producing some from under the counter for regular customers 😉😂

[@irenepickering-p4u]

Enjoyed the evening walk tonight you're right the trees and mountains are just beautiful thankyou 😊

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

That was the best walk so far. What a gorgeous time a year. Blessings

[@deeannh17]

That was a nice one. Thanks for taking us for a stroll with you.

[@MarleneCurrie-j5e]

What a lovely walk that was in the approaching dusk but I was getting concerned you were not going to get back before dark. No silky knicker bags from the Co-op then and more expensive than Waitrose. Was surprised you were buying more tea bags thought you had an abundance of them!

[@lindacampbell540]

He hasn’t gone through all that tea yet I hope. Maybe that is his favorite brand. I tend to go through a lot when I’m working on the house or garden. I think I will have one now…lol❤

[@louisegolder3276]

lovely walk Sean. much appreciated. Our connection to our local land is so special isn't it

[@mamamoomin]

Definitely send the bread maker back. Can't eat heinz tomato soup, tastes awful, a weird metallic taste. Homemade soup, can't beat it ❤

[@Onyxxxxx1]

Look at the specs in the instruction booklet. It should tell you the voltage.That plug looks very like a Type A in which case I would sent it back pronto.

[@GmaCynD]

Lovely walk! Thank you for the calming views.

[@maureenmckenna5220]

The summers can be brutally hot, which keeps me in too., since I live in Virginia. Spring and fall are best for outside here too. Those wildflowers on your walk are gorgeous. And, yes, food has risen here in the states by 30% at least. Aldi has the best buys most of the time here.

[@xszl]

The voltage might be different. Send it back. btw. Natural sugar is the same as refined sugar to your body. sugar=sugar. Greetz frm NLD

[@stevendowden2579]

most enjoyable sean

[@sueparsons6919]

You should send back your bread maker would never use an adapter for domestic use. Could trip all your electrical stuff in the house. Soups are dear now in the shops, when you make a beef stew add oxtail soup to it . Lovely. Ienjoyed your walk was concerned when it was getting dark, glad you got home safely. Enjoy your tea!

Thank you Sean I am always awe of mother nature it is so wonderful in each season has its wonderful picture of beauty.x

[@melodicewingm2292]

Your food prices are much less than here in the United States. Makes me want to fly over to get my groceries and fly back home. Entire trip over and back would be cheaper than shopping at home!! Thanks for the video and enjoy your day.

Hi Sean 👋 you have done the right thing sending the bread machine back must be awfully annoying after waiting for a week then to have to send it back enjoy your walks such lovely scenery ❤

[@Sam-Stripy]

The rose on your walk is Rosa Rugosa, I have a hedge of them in my garden, they get rather nice large hips on them too.

[@Lynne-plot35b-36b]

Co-op is expensive! Those Yorkshire teabags would’ve been for a fiver in Aldi

[@ChristineMckenzie-m2g]

Yes,I agree with other viewers, always end video with you safely back at home when out in the forests. So many dangers. 😊

[@CrovieStudio]

since covid supermarket prices have become outrageous ! there's no difference between any of them now. `We used to grab the odd thing from Tesco but lately switched to M&S or Waitrose if im in the city. Send your bread maker back, there is no real safe longterm way to switch out the plug.

[@andreamacgillivray3653]

What a lovely walk you took us on. Thank you. I live in Carmarthenshire and the walks are so lovely here too. x

[@cookinmum]

Dear Sean. I agree with everyone to send it back. It uses a lot of electricity AND when it’s baking it gets very hot so better to not take chances with conversion on the power cord. I use a bread maker regularly but only to make the dough, I am dubious when it bakes things. Which is why I have gone back to making bread the old fashioned way and my DD used the machine. Thank you for a lovey walk. It was a little scary when you got blocked along the way, next time perhaps a light long sleeve shirt to stop the bushes from hurting you. I’m glad you’re better.

[@alisonwilliams6287]

I too dream of living in the middle of the countryside and being surrounded by nature and the joy and peace it brings. I fear for the loss of our fields and countryside to houses. Thank you for showing us the wonderful mountains and woods where you live. Really enjoy your chats about life. Love to see Amber and Topsy hidden in the ivy! Very best wishes to you

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

Amazon sellers have history of doing this sadly. what a lovely nature trail. looks like you won't be short of blackberries later this month!! it would make a nice project to photograph and document how that trail changes through the seasons

[@susangrindle7426]

Lovely walk, looked nice and cool, woke up to a overcast sky so might be a bit cooler here today. I picked up some Heinz tomato soup from Aldi for under £4 for a pack of 4 which i thought was cheap trouble is its not an usual item they have so i got them while i could. It's a bit restrictive when you live in a village and have to rely on public transport but it's a small price to pay for the opportunity to live in a beautiful place like you have there. Lovely to see the girls , well one of them 😊❤

[@janerobinson5944]

Great vlog, loved the evening walk. Definitely send back the bread maker wouldn't have expected an American plug. I agree the Coop is very expensive and they seem to only have a Coop in little villages xx

[@FoldintheFlour]

I’ve been caught buying a US appliance before - as the voltage in the US is different, you’d need a transformer as well as a plug adapter. If it were me, I’d just send it back. Panasonic are great (bit pricier than some) or Russell Hobbs. Good luck - and don’t give up on the idea of bread making. There’s nothing like getting up in the morning to the smell of freshly baked bread (make sure the machine has a timer function!) 😊

[@dianainflorida5457]

Glad you are feeling well and thank you for the lovely walk. Enjoyed the unboxing and very clever to have canned soup and such on hand. I keep a stockpile of it myself. Your dinner looked delicious. Smart to send back the bread maker with the wrong plug. I like to grow those green onions in my garden from the scrapes of store bought onions. That way they are always available out the back door. Good night to you and the kitties. Oh I liked your left breast and right breast joke. lol

[@mandydeane5824]

I was wondering that about the lack of dogs on your walk. You are so right nature will reclaim the land back. I will look forward to that bus journey with you Sean. 🙂

[@zlatahume3134]

Rosa Galica is very good rose, disease resistant and from those roses were all the garden roses grown.😊

[@historybarf]

I would send it back Sean. You would need a voltage converter, as well as an adapter, to use in the UK. That is definitely a US plug. We have 110 voltage here, so plugging it in there would fry it.

[@user-fs6ou3fk9p]

Such a lovely video. Thank you.

[@PatWashburn-ux4sv]

I hesitate to say Sean, but could you not take some clippings from that beautiful fragrant rose and pot them and have them to plant on the homestead next fall I have to admit that I have done that two or three times recently for planting next year in my garden. 🎉

Good morning Sean, it's a lovely place to live, when I lived in Wales I was told 10p tax was put on all food coming from England. Good shop Co: op, A friend of mine had a bread maker novelty soon wore off and he started buying bread again, 🙃 Enjoy your weekend. 🙏Bye for now.

[@HelenW-w3t]

Send it back and get an English one. Although using an adapter plug is safe to use long term. I have a Chinese rice cooker and a Chinese slow cooker which I use every day in England with an adapter plug . I never have any problems at all. I like the design of that bread maker.

[@sabinekoch3448]

I also have adapters - no problems. But I understand the concern.

[@sallyk9]

It all depends on the voltage of the appliance. Uk electrical appliances are 240volts while US is 110volts. China is 220volts.

America has different voltage. Check what voltage it uses before you use it with an adapter , otherwise it will blow out in first use. You can take it to an electrical shop to change the plug for you but that might void warranty. I would send it back.
