180. Christmas Waitrose, Ebay & Avon Steam Day Out 🎄 Vlogmas 20 (December 2024)

[@munchkinheaven7877]

What a wonderful day out, that was so good of the railway yard to allow you to go a little behind the scenes, really interesting Sean, so nostalgic!

[@Janet-g1y]

Your bread rolls look like they are part baked long life ones, that are vacuum sealed and are fine in the cupboard.

[@Jenniejones60]

Be careful of the ingredients though, packed with a lot of salt and preservatives. From memory nearly 1g per roll…Not long life otherwise 😢

[@elainecoad205]

Lovely that these old steam trains are kept restored and running. Thank you for taking us all along with you.

[@jenniferb590]

My husband was an engine driver/fireman and he would have been apoplectic at the black smoke coming from that engine. Oh how I remember the steam trains passing our house and me rushing out to wave to him when we were courting. Thank you for the memories Sean.🎄🎄

[@martinchamberlain8517]

There is no Welsh Steam coal being mined anymore. The imported coal is not the same quality and it causes a lot of problems on preserved steam railways.

[@katherineb6102]

Trains are magical to watch, hear and ride on.

[@jennyjewell5635]

We live near the Bluebell Railway in Sussex which operates throughout the year. In the last year it has been visited by the Flying Scotsman and the A4 Pacific Sir Nigel Gresley. My husband and I- aged 82 and 75- play at being the Railway Children waving to the trains from the line side. The children and grandchildren often visit there too. I love hearing the steam trains from our garden.

[@steveandsherilyn7543]

Thank you for showing those steam trains, they are so nice to see they’re still in operation and although the engines are very utilitarian they are also charming. BTW I’m loving this vlogmas, your videos are the first thing I watch when I wake up (I do have my own life, I just like watching a bit of yours too!) I will miss my morning video every day when you go back to uploading 2/3 per week. My wife and I intend to come and have a walk on the mountain in spring and I would like to time it so we can pop into your homestead and say hello, so we look forward to meeting you and having a cuppa tea with you. 👍

[@emmafarr770]

One good thing Sean, you never get lonely. You are always doing something which is very good because this time of year, a lot of people get very melancholy.😊

[@sabinekoch3448]

He’s just laughing at our desperate tea - making suggestions…😊

[@ReneeinVirginia]

Oh my gosh, how COOL are those steam trains!! Really enjoyed that tour.

[@Simonroytube]

Nice video today enjoyed the steam train brilliant stuff thank you

[@susangrindle7426]

What an interesting time you had today. Hubby would have loved it he use to be a shunter at Tinsley yard at Sheffield. It was his job to make sure the steel was secure and to get the trains ready. 😊. The bread you bake can stop in your cupboard or even your store under the stairs. It's just kept in the aisles in the supermarket. Mum use to make her own bread. She packed in making it in her 80's when her hands couldn't knead the bread . 😊

[@carolhardie7513]

Love seeing the trains,wonderful! Looks freezing! I was just telling my Friend about you Sean,she lives in Pontypridd!Your Xmas food looks yummy❤

[@WashyGirl]

You could put bottles in a box in the garden in the winter you might then have more room in your fridge x

[@markshaw5835]

What a lovely day out, I go to a similar place in Isle of wight, it always a lovely day out there

[@vinceransome5561]

Remember the camp coffee . The racing pigeons used to go by train to their liberation points as well.

[@steveandsherilyn7543]

My grandad would only drink Camp coffee, and I still do too, we have a bottle in the cupboard now. I love it but my wife hates it, it’s another Marmite thing, you either love it or hate it.

[@romac9516]

Steam trais are so special, make me nostalgic for an era before my time. Thanks Sean

[@karen4you]

Steam trains are grand! It's wonderful that they are restored and still able to be enjoyed. Thank you so much.

[@sandradonnelly6399]

There is a steam train run a few times a year from Dublin to Wexford stops at my local station and a few Christmas santa ones lovely old trains

[@jillychandler]

I am 68 years young, and I can remember going with my brother, as children, to the bridge above the railway in Pinner, Middlesex - where we lived at the time - and watching the steam train coming, going under the bridge, and emerging the other side with all the steam coming up to us. Wonderful sight, and noise. Long way to go to get your camera, but what a grand day out you had in the end! Blessings to you, from Jilly & Madge. xxx

[@potatowaffle4573]

Exactly my memory of our local railway bridge in Putney. Happy days :)

[@gailgulliver8970]

Thank you Sean seeing that steam train reminds me when I was little ans my mum used to take me up north happy days.xx

[@VeronicaPavett]

Great vlog lovely surprise, rolls stay in bread bin , they on shelf in supermarket by normal bread so same to store at home , or in your veg cupboard, merry Xmas Sean enjoy 😘xx

[@glenysgray8255]

One of my favourite things is to travel on the Dart Valley Railway. It goes from Paignton to Dartmouth. No need to book in advance, just pay like you would normally for the next train. Not cheep though.

[@vincentneale2620]

As soon as I seen Keynsham I knew exactly where the steam train is as I have also been on that train There used to be a good garden center on the opposite site of the Avon train entrance My Son lived about 100 yards form the Avon Valley center I used to go there for a visit every couple of weeks. The broad brimed hat I wear on my allotment was bought there.

[@DiSWRwow77]

Yep the garden centre is still there Vincent, Fonthill. They have brilliant Xmas displays every year. Merry Christmas.

[@lorellstoneman74]

Happy winter solstace. Have a great trip. Thanks sean.

[@mikebashford8198]

Part baked rolls are an ambient product so don't need to go in the fridge or freezer.

[@seanjamescameron]

Thanks. They have been moved to the cupboard.

[@brokenbritain9441]

I enjoyed that reminds me of the days I used to go down Barry scrap yard and see all the trains in the scrap yard. I wonder if any of those trains started life in Barry scrap yard.

[@DiSWRwow77]

Hiya. I can answer this as this was discussed yesterday - as I always felt sad about those rows of steam locos sat in that field in Barry; I only visited Barry once when they were all there but I never forgot it. Yes, one at Bitton is from Barry, so u are correct in your thoughts (but I'm not sure which one). Hope that helps.

[@brokenbritain9441]

@DiSWRwow77 I see if I can dig some old photos out. Because I remember they had writing on the side reserved for and they said this one is sold. I even remember that the workman's carriages had cast iron wood burners inside. It was better than going to Barry Island.

[@DiSWRwow77]

@@brokenbritain9441 cheers. Have a lovely Christmas.

[@martinchamberlain8517]

​@@DiSWRwow77the vast majority were preserved and sold at scrap metal value.

[@mrsplumbridge4888]

Those rolls are a great idea. I freeze mine then heat them up from frozen 😊

[@susanelwood5794]

No need to keep checking dates on food-we have eyes and a nose-just like the olden days😜😜😜 So much food gets wasted because of the dates on them 🥺🥺

[@historybarf]

You can ride a steam train at Dollywood, here in Tennessee, for the price of a park admission. I ride it every time I go.

[@emmafarr770]

Makes me think of days of your when people travel to on these trains for the holidays to see their loved ones. Hopefully they had snow falling.😊

[@gregorymiller7828]

I know where you could put them 🤣

[@1minigrem]

First that iconic sound and then the engine emerging through clouds of steam, absolutely magical. ❤

[@DiSWRwow77]

Just stunning isn't it. He captured it beautifully.

[@Saltsurfer1984]

Just keep the bread rolls in the cupboard or on the work bench...

[@historybarf]

Sean, you have a real knack for adding the right music to various parts of your videos.

[@carolearrowsmith2461]

Thank you for taking the time to do this vlog for us even when your so busy. What a shame missing two trains, third time the charm. What a lovely station where the steam trains are. So love the old buildings in the stations, nostalgia. 🚂 Fabulous steam trains. Volunteers are amazing in these places. Great interviews. Remember Fry’s chocolate cream was my mother’s favourite. Thanks for a lovely day out. Enjoy your 📷 camera🐞

[@clawrence9585]

In the Freezer so they last longer Sean !

[@cathybritt6312]

Lovely to see the steam trains. Been along there so many times cycling bristol to Bath Victoria Park ❤😊

[@colleenmckinlay2916]

So enjoyed this day with you. Steam trains are such a beautiful reminder of by gone travel. Thank you to all the volunteers who keep history alive. You always seem to meet such interesting people who have stories or info to share. So enjoy these segments. Enjoy playing with your new camera and looking forward to a visit tomorrow. 👍🏻❤️🎄

[@SuperCmorris]

I love steam trains !!! The train passes by the bottom of my garden everyday, love it, thankyou Sean ❤

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Thank you Sean for taking us with you today. You shore did have a busy day. Have a cuppa tea, beautiful. Hope tomorrow you can have a more relaxing day. Take care🤗

[@Kaysie-222]

The rolls are fine being kept in a cupboard but once opened I think they need to be eaten within 1 or 2 days.

[@athensr1103]

Sean, those bread rolls can be frozen

[@brendatucker35]

Brilliant day out, thanks for sharing it with us!❤❤❤❤❤

[@annmargaret6992]

Freezer, your bread!😁

[@maddy26662]

[@YvonneCook-i1p]

Really enjoyed that ,thank you sean xxx

[@tanyacurtis2884]

Very enjoyable video. Thank you. Glad your advent calendar was a Yorkshire tea this time 😂😂😂

[@LINDAWATSONGARDEN]

I do love a steam train. Thanks Sean for filming that.

[@Mcfly3595]

Really enjoyed the footage of the steam railway. My uncle used to take us kids to the Severn Valley railway. I think it’s where I developed a love the smell of coal. Have a good weekend Sean 😊

[@paulwalsh3163]

Hi Sean just want to say thank you for that steam train video really enjoy it happy memories from my childhood,your just brilliant at getting the atmosphere just right,pure genius, p/s love all your videos.paul Walsh. Ireland.

[@eraramasamy3104]

Another brilliant video Sean! I look forward to your videos every day. Thank you 🙏

[@MarleneCurrie-j5e]

Thank you Sean, appreciate all you do to make those vlogs so varied and interesting. You certainly won't starve at Christmas going by all the lovely food you have had delivered. Look forward to seeing those old videos that you are going to put up.

[@Suly-cu2op]

A mixture of The Polar Express, A Hard Days Night or L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat, or Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat. I didn’t hide behind the sofa when the rain pulled up though… Thank you for takings along in your suitcase with you! Why do people on our modern day trains all barge past us to get onboard with their hot cups of coffee etc… as we try to get off at our stop..?!? More slow living and old fashioned patience would work better . Maybe I’m just Grumpy too… 😂 Shortest day today, then we’re on the up! Looking forward to see your videos on the second channel.

[@missmaryhdream6560]

What lovely days filming bravo x brilliant Sean thank you for little tripout

[@bb2021]

Excellent video Sean. Humorous and interesting. Thank you. x

[@rowenaazimi9040]

Great vlogmas vlog and amazing seeing the steam trains. Hope the camera works. As for part baked rolls, i put them in the freezer and pull them out when i want one. It keeps them fresh and stops them going mouldy

[@annmargaret6992]

Unbaked belongs in the freezer!

[@elainepepperrogers2968]

Another great video Sean 🎉

[@suepearce2005]

Thank u for showing us your adventures , can u perhaps take a trip to St Fagans one day , i’m sure your viewers would enjoy it , seeing how our ancestors lived over the centuries , 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@seanjamescameron]

Difficult without a car but it is on the list.

[@maxinemcivor4974]

Great vlog. It brought back memories from when I was a child in the 60's and near my primary school there was a train crossing and we used to watch the steam trains go past. And then they stopped and it was only years later I understood why !!!

[@glenysgray8255]

Well you did have a hectic start to the day Sean ! I see someone advised on the bread rolls staying out of the fridge but they will be ok for today. I see what you did about the train times. You rounded the time to a couple of mins later. My daughter says I say train and bus times wrong but I round it off the other way. So for the 12 mins past I say 10 past 😁😁

[@janw1746]

Wonderful vlog..👍💯x

[@Jenniejones60]

All that coal comes from China😂 and wales has got 200 years worth underground still.!

[@seanjamescameron]

Germany apparently.

[@hp-cs7mx]

Well doesn’t that sound like sending coal to Newcastle! Here in Australia we send top grade coal to China from Newcastle NSW.

[@Dornnettchen]

Hi, Sean, at this time I used the big fridge outside ( terrace) Happy christmas to you ( I am with you 😉 )

[@juliawigger9796]

Many decades ago i remember as a child sitting on the banks around fountains abbey in yorkshire watching the steam trains!

[@christinebagnall2446]

Those were the days bringing back lots of memories

[@malveenbiddle1356]

A really lovely video. Easy to tell you have spent time in London away from the Rhondda with your choice of food. Looks lovely, hope you will share some of it,seems a lot for one person.

[@seanjamescameron]

Christmas guests are expected.

[@HelenMarieFirth]

😂😂 it's his food he do what he wants with it 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@oneviewcornwall8200]

Luv yur day in a life videos x 🐬🩵🎄

[@normajean2855]

LOL "Steady"

[@vitusdoom]

Hi Sean, don't forget to.defrist those food items before Xmas as with some you can't cook from frozen. Raining here in Briton Ferry, no sign of snow. One more day of work for me on Monday then I'm off for a week! My nipples are hard!

[@colinmarsh3457]

You’re bread rolls go in the fridge

[@Angel-002]

No they don't. They are kept on the shelves at the supermarket & have a really long shelf life & are kept in a cupboard. That's the beauty of them.

[@MargaretWood-z6l]

You are right Angel.
