After seeing a random post on Facebook I decide to book a ticket for The Savoy Theatre followed by a busy Saturday morning running around the village before getting home to collect the base for the allotment shed.

Sean I’m 65 and am finally living alone with a grumpy old cat 😮. I love the peace , my cottage and my rambling garden. Enjoy !! I also paint semi abstracts and peoples pets and that keeps me very busy. Your videos are a welcome escape from other gloomy things on the telly you don’t want to watch too much off but feel like you need to keep up with what’s going on. Love your videos …add a splash of colour in your bachelor pad ..you’d be surprised what a difference colour makes.😊

Great video Sean. Lovely start to my Sunday morning. Endymion is a looong poem by John Keats! I think you say it: End-dim-e-on. You'll know it I bet. It starts: A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing A flowery band to bind us to the earth. Very fitting for your new life in Wales with the cats. 😃 xx

I always love the bus rides when you film them. I changed out all my regular lights to smart LED bulbs. I set them to go red at 7:45 so I start getting tired and in bed by 8:30. It is funny when you get rid of all the bright blue light spectrum your brain will calm down. I have one cat that loves to tuck himself under covers also, he loves to get cozy. Wonderful vlog!

Love the views from the bus. The birder in me wonders if you might see shorties (owls) in the winter. If you ever get stuck for ideas I would love to hear about the birds of the area. Maybe if you ever stumble across a birder on your walks you could ask what they have spotted recently. However, your ideas do seem to keep a-flowing like a Welsh spring that never dries up. No idea how to cope with the running out of milk. Back in the day you could buy a jugful from the farm if it was a decent hour. My in-law keeps a chest freezer, pride of place, in the small living room. I wonder if there is anywhere you can stick an extra fridge or freezer. 🤔 Edit. 5 cups a day. Will not be surprised if it is more.

Congratulations on your result from sticking with your healthy diet. Thanks for taking us along on the buses. Local theatrical Societies are always enjoyable as they do put so much time and effort into producing them. Sean I would estimate that perhaps you may drink 8 cups of tea per day. Rooibos tea is enjoyable and doesn’t have the caffeine. I substitute the late afternoon/evening tea with that. However I get a headache if I miss the mid morning real Yorkshire tea breaks🫖

Amber and Topsy! When I was young we had a cat named Topsy, per my grandmother. Last night, I was sitting on my couch with my cat, Boo. I put my heating pad over her to keep her warm. She seemed to like it, so I ordered 50" x 60" throw from Amazon to put over us to save on the gas bill! I'm guessing you drink at least 5 cups of tea per day. One more thing, you said your cabinets may be so full they can fall off the wall. Tragically, that actually happened to me. I filled the wall closet too full and one day when I had been out shopping, I came home and the cabinet was smashed into the floor with broken glass, spices, everything. What a mess. I've totally removed the cabinet now and have left the wall bare. I put my various items on a microwave cart where I can see everything.

When you said, time is slipping away, like grains of sand.. it reminded me of something from my childhood. When is stay with my granny, (I did a lot in 1973-1977ish, after my grandfather died.. to keep her company). She would watch a diaper opera, Days of our Lives. I remember st the beginning, a man would say, “Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives,” Goodness! Isn’t it funny what you remember from so long ago?!?! I really enjoyed going to the market, butcher with you. I kept saying, don’t forget the milk! The night before you'd wanted to get some. The theater was lovely.

So interesting that the fragrance Endymion is appealing to you because where you are living now, especially with the coming of Spring, is so aptly described in the poem by John Keats. I've included the parts of the poem that describe the kind of "green world," "simple sheep," daffodils and clear rills that create the picture of Wales awakening in the early part of the year and its contrast with the din of the city. Interesting, because you have come to London to live the simple, slow, and lovely life of the Welsh countryside. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing A flowery band to bind us to the earth, Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth Of noble natures, of the gloomy days, Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways Made for our searching: yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon, Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon For simple sheep; and such are daffodils With the green world they live in; and clear rills That for themselves a cooling covert make 'Gainst the hot season; the mid forest brake, Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms: ... Therefore, 'tis with full happiness that I Will trace the story of Endymion. The very music of the name has gone Into my being, and each pleasant scene Is growing fresh before me as the green Of our own valleys: so I will begin Now while I cannot hear the city's din; Now while the early budders are just new, And run in mazes of the youngest hue About old forests; while the willow trails Its delicate amber; and the dairy pails Bring home increase of milk. And, as the year Grows lush in juicy stalks, I'll smoothly steer My little boat, for many quiet hours, With streams that deepen freshly into bowers.

Ah.... Endymion, pronounced (by me) as "En-di-ME-on"... a wonderful word. Mythology and poetry in one, a beautiful poem by Keats: "endymion BOOK I A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing." etc Endymion was either a shepherd or an astronomer (or both). There was a fantastic SF book series by Dan Simmons, the Hyperion Cantos that heavily utilized John Keats and mythology. Another fabulous vlog! Thank you for taking us with you. Those are long waits for busses, but in a slower area, not so bad. It was nice to meet your kitties! They are beautiful. I look forward to seeing your shed and your allotment.

Hi Sean. You mentioned the lack of heat from the heating mat under your seedlings. I was experiencing a similar issue. What I did was I got a piece of Styrofoam and put the heating mat on top of that, then I placed the propegator on top of that. It seems to be working a lot better. I guess the Styrofoam is acting as insulation and keeping the warmth in and away from the cement below.

Something else I wanted to tell you is about UHT milk. Ultra High Temperature milk. It doesn't need to be chilled. I keep some so I never run out of milk. You just store it in your cabinet til you open it. Saves having to catch a bus to get milk for your tea. Your friend Karen from Louisiana

Endymion, is a poem by Keats. It is a Greek myth about a shepherd boy that Diana the Huntress fell in love with. Endymion is pronounced En-dim-me-um. I was in Turkey on holiday in the 1990's and had been on a coach trip to Pammakali, and that is probably not spelt like that! On the way back the guide showed us all Baffa Lake. That is the lake of tears Diana cried when she could not have her way with a human boy. It was embarrassing because out of a coach of 40 tourists, only my friend and myself knew it was a Keats poem. Keats one of the greatest English romantic poets. As you are Welsh Sean you were probably taught Dylan Thomas and all about Cerridwen and Taliesin. The first line of Endymion is: "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" Most people know that phrase. I was an English major for my foundation degree.

You may want to buy a stud/wire detector before you put holes in the walls to hang things. In general cables go vertically from sockets etc but not always.

I'm glad you bought Led lights. They use 85% less energy. The ones I buy here in Canada are good for 15,000 hours. I get the 60 watts replacement and they only use 9 watts of energy. I only buy the Warm White ones....they give a beautiful light. On another note, I think you drink 4 cups of tea daily..some days 5.

Hi Sean , nice breakfast with the eggs but could I make a suggestion to swap out the sauce and replace with Kimchi or similar. Yes it’s more expensive than sauce, but those sauces are just processed sugar. Kimchi and fermented foods are super tasty and really good for your gut health. We use the Loving Foods brand, Kimchi with turmeric and black pepper and also the ruby kraut red cabbage and beetroot , both are really good. Would a trailing aubretia trail down your kitchen wall? , not sure how much sun you get at that part of the garden. Looking forward to your adventures at the allotment!. Best wishes as usual.

My knowledge of Endymion is actually rather different than the scent company probably intends. I'm sure they mean to reference the mythological shepherd who loved Selene. But here on the Gulf Coast, we know Endymion (en-dim'-ee-uhn) as a Super Krewe that participates in New Orleans' Mardi Gras. The krewe riders of Endymion are famed for "throwing until it hurts" because they are so generous with parade throws (gifts for the spectators). Oddly enough, I've been busy all day cooking cabbages that were thrown at a St. Patrick's parade (it wasn't Endymion) that was held this weekend. Yes, parade riders actually do throw cabbages, potatoes, onions, oranges, lemons, and more! I'm going to be cooking for days.

I used hard core for under my shed. So I didn’t have to used heavy thick plastic base. I try to avoid plastic when I can. Didn’t you have slabs already laid at the bottom of the allotment plot. I am sure you had a base already down there. Just use concrete blocks x 4 and build your shed off that. That way it gets air flow, and is less prone to rot. Just a thought..👍❤️👍

It is nice to know your mint is growing Mine haven't germinated yet. I went to Kew gardens today and bought some poached egg plants, a hosta and some sweetpeas. I like to go there and buy something different. The shop was packed and they had a lot of nice books and botanic jigsaw puzzles. They had a huge rockery and they were growing alpine plants, apparently they are decreasing due to climate change as the mountains are getting warmer, same with heather, it is decreasing. The cherry blossoms were out and they had a mini music concert by the cherry blossoms. Most of the daffodils were gone, they don't bother to dead head them.

Such a lot of content! Your home is coming along nicely but guess the new plot will take up more of your time going forward. I am curious to see how your butter making goes and what ingredients are recommended. Also as a guideline, I think around 7 mugs of tea. 2 in the morning, 2 lunchtime, 2 afternoon and 1 before bedtime. Bye for now.
