11. Living Alone in Wales - Past, Present and Future Q&A (January 2024)

[@angelabennett7537]

Hello from America! I seem to watch more UK t.v. than American t.v. I prefer your country :-) I like your youtube videos. I like the garden in the back, and I was thinking you would potted plants on those lovely stone shelves. lots of colorful pots would be lovely. Thanks for your videos, I just love hearing the voices of UK people and the area and views. Quite lovely indeed.

[@SeaShoreAnnie]

Bore da Sean, Yes absolutely do keep your private life private. It is nobody's business but your own Sean. I sometimes despair at how people think they have a right to know everything & they absolutely don't. I'm really enjoying your channel, you have a wonderful speaking voice, you would make a great narrator for audio books for sure. I hope you have a lovely weekend. Annie🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@annieknight71]

I hope you do more about living in Wales. I’ve wanted to move there myself, but too old now, almost 80 and l just had a stroke and have to use a walker. I have gone to Wales back in the 80’s. Met a lot of family then. Now I can see how much it changed and how much I still love it.

Throw the bulbs all in together Sean, it will be lovely to see what comes up where in the spring! Stumbled over your channel a week ago whilst I was ill with this nasty cough and cold, and have really enjoyed your journey to live in Wales! Thanks for taking us along!

[@tinalarsen6059]

Hi Sean, I too don't use salt only peppar in my cooking. I would add all the flowers in one bag and see what comes up it's probably going to look really nice with the different flowers and colours and that. I think you are right about your privacy rule about opening up or not opening up about one's private life. It has got nothing to do with your videos which I enjoy watching and these days we have to be careful on the net. Respect for your stand on privacy. Nosy people can watch other videos. You're right about the dogs. Beautiful flowers.

[@andreasteele2686]

I totally agree about the allotment, my allotment is more than just growing veg. It is my peace and quiet and nothing beats sitting round the firepit with a nice cup of tea 'beautiful'

[@DGKK55]

Ask around, there are SO many little stables around, they're glad to get rid of the waste and they more than likely will have a horse trailer. If you offer to bag it, they may well deliver to wherever your new allotment may be.....just a thought.

For arthritic pain, I have found that Feverfew tea before bed works well, with Yumove supplement in the morning with breakfast, I also wear a bioflow bracelet, and in winter switch the electric blanket on before bed. I stear clear of foods that encourage inflammation, like potatoes and tomatoes, and especially sugar. I have found turmeric and ginger have also helped me, along with the above stuff.

For many months I've been buying bottled water but after reading an article in the newspaper I decided to change and use some kind of filter. I don't have room in my fridge and limited space on the worktop for a large jug, so after looking online I came across Black + Blum active charcoal filters. I've been using it now for a couple of weeks and am very impressed with the quality of the water now. One stick lasts for 6 months and after that they can be used as plant fertiliser or odour remover. Love the videos by the way!

Sean just a suggestion. Maybe bring back the victory garden. When you get a plot. We are in for tough times soon and I think that would be helpful to new gardeners like me. :)

I love my slow cooker and use it frequently. I tend to get distracted and forget when I'm cooking on the stove.

[@rosa2266]

Dear Sean, that is a lovely idea that you gifted half your daffodil bulbs to the community project. Nice to film the daffs progress as they come up. For now, i personally would choose to plant up Each variety/bag of daffs into Separate Pots. To put them around your garden, enjoy them and then they can be enjoy them in then transfer them to new allotment in time. Freecycle or Fbook marketplace may have free gardening pots available. can always easily be freshened up with a spray of paint or lick of Frenchic Al Fresco /lazy range of paint will work outdoors and create a colour theme, and fab display if that is to your liking. Another suggestion: storytime with Sean, just listening to you reading a short chapter from a book would be relaxing & calming i feel. Have a Good day.

Hi Sean, I'm a new subscriber and am enjoying binge watching all available videos. I have a suggestion for your kitchen - a soup maker. They are brilliant, easy to use and cheap to run. Just pop prepared ingredients in of your choice and switch on - yummy, tasty soup in 20mins. I'm sure you won't regret getting one. Along with your new slow cooker they will save you hours enabling you to get out and about. You can even take a thermos flask of hot soup! Take care. Xx

Watched your video on utilities and couldn't figure who or what you were about so I am glad to see this and I will subscribe. I love gardening, cooking and I am addicted to books. I imagine I have 500 books by now. I do not like to read online. I want to hold a book and carry it with me. Lots of gardening, cookbooks, history and biographies. Love researching ancestry. My Appalachian people were wild, like reading something from the Wild Wild West. I will have to check out your books. Diet is important for fibromyalgia if you are plagued with that. You said you don't use salt but giving that up would be out of the question for me. A Berkey is a very good choice for filtered water but rather pricey.

[@judyofthewoods]

Croeso back to Wales, a very special place. And greetings to the lovely kitties. I wish you happiness in your new-old home. You came up in my feed and I remembered you from Richard Vobes. Been living in Wales for most of the last 44 years, the last four also with a rescue feral. A couple of previous cats I had were also sisters who had been in the shelter for 18 months after being rescued from the farm that was burned down after one of the John Cooper double murders. Coincidentally, I now live less than a mile from a house where a supposed murder-suicide with subsequent fire happened in the 70s, but it has all the hallmarks of a John Cooper murder, which is now suspected to be the case. My grandmother was a district nurse and midwife in rural Pembrokeshire between the wars. One of her funny stories was her visiting a young mother who was preparing dinner and complained how long it took to pluck the rabbit. It is very important to keep the old stories alive, and what the real world really was like as they are trying to re-write history. Lovely kettle with a touch of steampunk and a chrome bezel dial that does something. Reminiscent of classic motorbikes, the kind my grandmother actually rode on her round, later also my mother. And then, me, third generation female, bought my first bike at the same bike shop as they did - Bowens of Llawhaden.

[@amandaneal1556]

If a allotment takes ages a good idea is vertical gardening.That would ge excellent for anyone with bad back or knees

[@Honeybee-ym5vi]

Oh, I think throwing all the bulbs together might be really nice. Almost like wild flowers...you don't know what you've got. And surprises are always so enjoyable. You look very relaxed and happy. I think the happiness arises from having so much contact there in Wales...as you say you've been really busy. Good for you! I've had several black cats. With the first one, shelter people warned me to watch around Halloween because weird people in the States might injure the cat in some way. All my cats were rescues (feral) and very, very afraid of other people. So, in a sense, I was very gratified because they would avoid people and not be hurt.

[@volt8684]

Hi Sean, loving series. I have lived alone for 8 years now 65 and have a slow cooker and an air fryer. I get fed up of too much effort cooking, but the air fryer is incredible, economical and not much washing up. Fantastic for any meat, always juicy( not dried out) and so easy. I envy you living in Wales such a beautiful country. As a motorcyclist the places you can go are incredible. I use a Britain’s water filter as my water is disgusting but I buy cheaper filters off e bay as Brita - v expensive.

[@thriftytowers7160]

My black cat was the longest-stay in the rescue centre even tho the staff there loved him. Apparently black cats are the least wanted. He's been with me a few months now and I wouldn't swap him for anything! He was found as a stray so i waited a good few weeks before i let him out. I've had a couple of times when i've had to go out looking for him but mostly he'll come when i shout. I usually give him treats when he comes to my calling.

[@seanjamescameron]

I found it you whistle a unique tune every time you feed the cats you get to a point where you can open the door and whistle then suddenly they reappear.

[@FortviewFarm]

I think black cats are beautiful. I had one for years call Mika and he was the most beautiful creature ever ❤

[@carolineowen7846]

I would wait as near to about 4 weeks before you let your cats explore outdoors. In the week before put some of their spent urine litter in the corners of your garden,( say under some pots on feet, under the shed, by any posts if te are in a prodominant position over looking anything. This marks their scent, lets neighbouring cats know that that area belongs to your cats. 4 weeks also gives you a chance to settle, & observe any feline neighbours, their temperment and where they are likely to live. Observing all local regular dog walkers and the temperments / behaviours of the dogs is also useful. You might get to chat to your neighbours in that time to. Then your cats explore whilst you are enjoying your garden / having a cuppa, and BEFORE a meal time. Also gives you a chance to update micrchip details, and if you choose to get, set and activate a microchip cat flap. ( in 2024 all cats & kittens over 12 weeks are required to be microchipped). Another reason for putting spent urine litter in prodominant places around your boundries, is when the cats are out, it will smell of them (pre-scented) then if they do get spooked etc, they have a better chance of finding their way back quickly, As their scent would have already been drifting. A bit on a shed roof might be worth an idea, especially if you are in a terrace where all the houses are identical & gardens back onto each other. If they will wear collars, I would definately recommend a reflective one for your black cat, even if it is just until the better weather comes, as if it gets spooked, or hides it is almost impossible to find them, literally looking for their eyes. When I moved, mine door dashed, (at about 10 days, when I went to work) one came in when called the other I didn't realise had ninja'd out. She ended up getting locked out, and the panick of trying to find her, when I realised. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. After searching all night, the second evening I did a leaflet and did a door to door knock with all houses at least 5 doors in every direction, inc over gardens. Whilst I didn't find her on the door knock, I got to chat to all my neighbours, found out who had cats (all offered to keep theirs in - which was a lovely thing for them all to offer). She was able to make her way to under my shed, petrified, where I was able to eventually coax her out, while her food was half way between the shed & the door & I ate a tuna sarnie, just after dark. I did another leaflet drop thanking my neighbours and saying she was home safe & well :) Depending on their temperments and back grounds, you could harness train them, and introduce then to your garden that way. Especially if they have only been indoor cats. Cats' Protection have loads of advice, as does Simon's cat - on KZbin.

Hey Sean. Watched for years, first comment. Regarding knee pain ; Four vertebrae in my spine, arthritis and disc trouble. Painkillers don't touch the pain that L4/5 triggers in my lower spine and muscles. This in turn triggers pain in hips and knees. Now I am not having a moan, I mention the above to explain the magic of stinging nettle. I fill a jar with nettle then top off with avocado oil, leave for eight weeks in dark place. Next to beef dripping it is the most readily absorbed fat by human skin. You can follow a recipe and add beeswax , but I placed in a click lock bag and keep in bottom of fridge. The avocado oil will clump a little but it is not rancid. I massage across spine and muscles on a bad day, sit down with a cup of tea , and pain quickly goes. For me it's effects last around three hours. If I am going out for a few hours, I transfer a little to a small jar, and place in a little click lock snack pack from Tesco. For me, it is magic in a jar. My little garden space is taken up with medicinal herbs, and nutrients dense greens.

[@FortviewFarm]

I’ll try that this spring for my costocondritis,

[@ingeleonora-denouden6222]

Can it be made with a different oil, or does it need to be avocado oil?

[@HouseofLogy]

@@ingeleonora-denouden6222 You may use any oil of your choosing. I should point out that if you are using the nettle oil on a daily basis, then like any plant oil you create, you must combine with a carrier oil. In a nutshell that means you must dilute your nettle oil. You don't have to spend money on other expensive oils. There are lots of recipes on KZbin for nettle salve, and many other herbal salves. Don't let the glossy presentation of some channels put you off. Also if you dehydrate herbs and then heat in oil on the stove, you will lose much of the medicinal properties. Best to hang up to dry, then pack your jar, top up with oil and 8 weeks later, job done. Turn your drying nettles daily if hanging up to dry. This prevents centre of your bundle turning mouldy.

[@fionadesciscio1799]

Morning Sean. I've got a lakeland glass water filter. It filters more chemicals than the Britta and to filters are around £16 for 3. Have you heard of Gaelic salt, its full of healthy minerals, you could add that to your meals and benefit from it at the same time.

[@judimantos904]

Thought about people’s suggestion that you get slow cooker, but I think an air fryer is more practical for a single person. It cooks quickly, doesn’t have to be preheated and uses very little of that expensive cooking oil. I’m enjoying your Utube videos immensely.

[@bobbidazzler1343]

There's only 3 of us in our house and I love my air fryer. Have a slow cooker but have never really used it.

[@ingeleonora-denouden6222]

I think it depends on the kind of meals you like to eat. A slow-cooked meal is not the same as an air-fried meal

[@yodaami]

My tuppence worth; Just get a tiny slow cooker, it’s great for stews/ casseroles. They use very little energy, equivalent of a couple of old light bulbs. And a small air fryer, also saves you heating up the space in a normal sized oven. I use both of mine often.

[@gwenscoble6229]

When I took over my house the whole of the back garden was a vegetable plot. It was feeding 2 adults and 2 teenagers! I was working full time and had a DPC injected. A lot of decorating required. I made a grass area and used the beds for shrubs. Once the building works finished I formed a bed for veg, only 8ftx4ft. I enjoyed it so a year later I formed 3 more, more or less the same size. No space for potatoes but cut and come again type things give you a little fresh food without giving yourself the task of preparing and freezing a whole crop. A 30l pot with 8 dwarf beans will give you a portion of veg several times a week, each hand full is fresh rather than a bagful from a shop. Similarly, 1 celery plant can have a few stalks cut and it continues to grow, a courgette plant will give you plenty, don't wait until they are shop size, pick when they are a portion. Same with a few chard plants. Brussel sprouts don't have to be harvested all at once, unlike cabbages. KZbin channel 'Home Grown Veg', inspired me to grow things in pots and tubs. (See his 'square foot garden' in flower buckets). My major challenge is wind, so no outdoor tomatoes. Even your small, vertical yard can provide something, perhaps seed swap with neighbours. 😉

Hi Sean, love the kettle very stylish! Re water filter jug, I can recommend the Amazon Basics one £21.50 2.3L and very sturdy - we just bought one and is great it's made in Germany so our guess is it's made by the same people who are well known for water filter jugs certainly the style of the Amazon Basics one is very very similar also we use Amazon Basics filters and they work perfectly! I would throw the flower bulbs all in together which I think would be more fun or you could plant the Daffs between the Tulip bulbs as Daffs come up first then you have the colour of the Tulips after!

You can get a wireless front door bell, that you stick on the front door, and you put the plug in a socket, and it will ring so you can hear it. They do not cost a lot of money, and work really well. Hope this will help, as you could leave your kitchen door open, whilst you are in your garden, and put the plug in the kitchen, so you will hear the door bell outside. xxx

Hi, Talking about cooking gear as you have just mentioned a slow cooker which is great but a air fryer is also very healthy way to cook and can cook so many different foods in them.

I think the last time we paid for a license was in the mid seventies. Enjoy your show and will be interesting to see what you are going to do in the future.

When you were videoing Rusty walking away and he stopped and turned to look at you, I believe he knew he would never see you again. The look of sadness on his face broke my heart. So, I was thrilled to find out in this video he has a actual home and family he lives with!! You are a kind hearted person in sending special treats for Rusty! Quick question: I plant daffodils every autumn in November but failed to do so this. Is it too late to plant them now? I’m at 6100 feet and we are expecting snow in a few days. I’m thinking the ground may be too hard now. Have a wonderful day!!! And give the fur babies a hug for me!

Looking smart! Love these chatty, relaxed videos. I'd be tempted to mix the bulbs and see what happens 🌷

[@patjohnson1008]

😂😂😂 I love your dog response ... a dog is very much like having children ...

[@anneperseh4907]

Love the fish & chips story!😂🐟🍟

I stopped using salt many years ago, I find there is enough salt in stock cubes and other food flavours, Marmite, Worcestershire sauce and so forth. I too am interested in installing a water filter, so I am interested in which filter you choose and how it is installed. My son purchased a water testing kit, we were so surprised by the result.

Just found your channel, I'm 65 and live in NW Washington state, US. A couple years ago did a DNA test and revealed I'm 87% Welsh, 13% Scotch/Irish. Family name Morris, mothers side and Long on fathers. Interested in learning about Wales. I believe family is from North Wales and fishermen, which is odd as I was an Alaska fisherman 20 years.

The kettle is as rustic as your little Welsh cottage. Love it. Was just wondering …have you ever read the book.. Minding my peas and cucumbers By Kay Sexton. I was thinking …Could you write a rustic journal type book of life back in Wales. All the funny things, anecdotes and people you to meet. If not… try and find the book it’s so lovely.

[@seanjamescameron]

Yes I know Kay she was on a video when the book came out.

[@Lynne-plot35b-36b]

Sean I need to correct myself tho the book I suggested earlier is good I meant to tell you about Diggers Diary… by victor Osbourne. This might make more sense re:suggestion re book idea. 😂😂😂

[@seanjamescameron]

I’ve added it to the amazon wish list. Can’t believe I haven’t seen it. Thanks.

[@oneviewcornwall8200]

Nice one Sean

[@elizabethdarley8646]

Hi! Sean! I've just bought us an electric kettle. It is the best one we have had. Breville Bold. Light. I chose it because the lid comes off. I had found that the kettles with spring-lids would break and I don't like them for my arthritis fingers but I found 1 kettle that has a lid that comes off properly: fewer parts to go faulty! Your cats are gorgeous! Kind regards, Bess in Yorkshire😃

[@elizabethdarley8646]

PS I got it for £21 all in Amazon Prime because it is classed as used as in someone had spoilt the cardboard box. It boils water for one mug in 30 seconds!

A lot of cases of CFS are actually caused by liver damage. The liver produces a lot of hormones and enzymes and these are critical to muscle energy. Often times fasting for a few days or even a few weeks can cure or lesson CFS. I also found regular cycling really helps with energy. If you feel a heavy bulge in your upper midsection, it's most likely NAFLD or fatty pancreas. The #1 symptom of liver disease is extreme tiredness.

[@seanjamescameron]

I have NAFLD but all the doctor said was "look on the internet for advice" so I've been in the wilderness for years because the "internet" conflicts each point I find.

[@theharringtons2010]

I lived in Bexleyheath and moved to Wales 15 years ago..still getting used to the slower pace of life..

[@jazzander5314]

I put out food and water when my cats got out. It's always worked... They are two black rescues...

[@carib6808]

That kind of footage is priceless. I hope you find it.

After seeing him on television when I was injured, I purchased the book "Live Pain Free" by Lee Albert and have found it to be immensely helpful for pain in different parts of the body and injuries. He covers pain or injury in different areas of the body in each chapter and there a chapter on knee pain covering the different stretches, modifications, or strengthening, etc., that need to be done. There is also one on low back pain amongst others. Also before and after your hikes I would always do a quick calf, quadricep, and hamstring stretch as I gave myself an injury in my early 50's moving to a new area that was very hilly and hiking without stretching thinking well it's only walking. Especially do not leave out the calves because they get very tight because of the hills. I currently live in the US so might not have the same brands, but I use a water pitcher and filter like PUR or Brita and I find this very effective for removing chemicals and improving the taste of the water you drink or make tea with. How nice that you donated bulbs and will be able to ramble around the village discovering them. I think you had said in an earlier video that you would look in the spring for plants you planted up on the mountain in your younger days so that will be interesting to see as well. It will be lovely to have salad and spinach and maybe a few herbs that you use regularly right out your back door. I think in no time you will have a lovely local social network in addition to being able to keep in contact with your London friends by phone. Fingers crossed for you that the stress reduction from being able to access nature more easily and the peace and quiet and the hill/mountain walking will improve your health and wellbeing. That is once the stress from moving calms down as it is major. You deserve some down time. Take care of yourself. Thanks for the laugh about the fish and chips - I'll have to remember that when I move.

[@lorrainelogan7907]

Really nice to hear you talk about your life, makes me want to visit Wales. Maybe this summer. 😊

[@weareyounique4234]

I stopped salt but after reading that natural sea salt provides many minerals. I bought some Celtic Grey Sea Salt..

[@glynnisross7974]

Thank you Sean for such an interesting vlog. I agree totally with you about keeping your personal life private. You should only share what you think is relevant to your channel, which, by the way, is great. Your new kettle is clever in the way you can turn it off at different temperatures because some drinks, like coffee, shouldn’t have boiled water as it can affect the taste. Also, I have an insulated mug so if I make a cup of tea I do one in a cup and also in the mug which stays nice and hot for a while. This also saves time and money on boiling the kettle twice. Bye for now and see you soon.

[@laurensouthgate2458]

You have a beautiful voice Sean .

[@carolinadavies5589]

Hi Sean , I'd recommend the Zerowater filter jug

[@annieknight71]

I have had Zerowater filter jugs and Brita filter jugs. Zero water in my opinion is far better of the two.

[@susanhoughton1104]

I have heard that if cats get out just put their litter box outside and they will find home. Good noses! Thanks so much for all the updates. Just lovely.

[@tassiegirl1991]

The Treorchy excuse spelling choir are fantastic , bring tears to my eyes every time i listen. I think you need time to settle in befre joining anything that requires such huge commitment, wise decision. I put a pinch of iodised salt when boiling or steaming veg, to help with iodine level, big issue in the past These days they add it to bread and maybe other products but with a history of thyroid myself and family i continue adding. This is probably why your mum added it too. I dont use salt any other way and hate it on fish and chips. We might wonder things about you but id never ask or expect an answer in any personal info, some people disclose too much, your spot on in keeping personal things private. I love the kettle. Loved the chat.

[@zthde]

The steam from the kettle is not going to do the cabinets any good Sean 🤔

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

In my part of Aberdeenshire many small businesses have reduced their opening hours. It's due to increased costs of energy and staffing I think. They just can't make a profit operating with full hours. The main towns are more likely to have businesses open for full days, but even there many don't open at all on Mondays. That was never the case a few years ago. It would be interesting to see how you start a garden from scratch, planning it and putting in the main features. Even in a tiny garden you will be able to grow some salad stuff, but as you say, an allotment sized plot is what you need. Maybe you could help some other person with their allotment whilst you await a plot yourself. My grandad was in a famous Glasgow choir in the pre and post WW2 period. It took a lot of time for practice and performance. He gave up when he got a new house with a bigger garden, and thus had no time to fully commit to the choir. The cats will have to fight other local cats to get their place in the local outdoor cat population once they are allowed out.

[@neptune1969]

I enjoyed this Q&A video very much. It's good to see you looking relaxed and happy. All the best with your new endeavours in Wales.

[@kelvinhoughton7953]

I thought I was the only one that doesn't add salt to cooking, the only time I like salt is on a stick of celary or occaisionally tomato sandwich otherwise I don't use it. I moved just a few miles outside London just before lockdown and really noticed how quiet it is even though I live in a fair size town. I do sometimes really notice the smell of the pollution when I get off the train to go to work in London. As a side note I spent most of my youth growing up on the N Wales coast at the seaside but I don't think I'd be happy to go back there despite the fond memories.
