69. Passport, Paints & Village Shopping Haul - Living Alone in Wales (May 2024)

[@ebbs0000]

I love this guys life just walking about chatting to people with a bit of garden chucked in, nice way to live.

[@VileTraveller]

We switched to breakfast at 11:30 and dinner at 18:00 and feel much better for it - the weight is down, more energy, less bloated after meals.

[@ChristineMckenzie-m2g]

Love the way you talk to us, as if you are really talking to yourself with thoughts and chores for the day, just so relaxing. ❤

[@Yaketyyak21]

The valley wouldn’t be so green without the rain.🤗

[@GillyLavender]

I don't know what it is about you, but you're so refreshing to watch. Much more interesting than those influencers trying to pursuade you to buy loads of stuff you don't need.(Which I have been guilty of subscribing to). You are a great entertainer, and I loved your Wonder Woman impression the other day. I admire you for everything you're doing in your home, garden, and looking after your health. Just don't know how you find the time to film as well. 😱 Plus, the cheeky look in your eyes sometimes makes me chuckle. Have a booootiful weekend, Sean. I'm off now to the garden to continue building my raised vegetable bed, oh, and maybe paint the summerhouse too. Bye for now 🤣 ❤

[@mildredpaul4338]

No he just tried to persuade others to buy stuff for him instead! 😂

[@christopherlangford8403]

Great vlog as usual Sean and thanks for giving me my 20seconds of fame in Lidl 😁

[@seanjamescameron]

May your plants grow good and strong. Great to meet you.

[@pamulawallace4330]

❤ enjoyed the walk and talk,😊

[@lizwood510]

You are so lucky to live in such a quiet place. Here in the South of England we are being over developed with houses everywhere, and horrendous traffic.

[@janebass3372]

Brown paper bags like that remind me of ones they have with their groceries in American movies

[@sharonjojo]

@janebass3372...Plus they are great for breathing into & calming an unfortunate sufferer of a panic attack.

[@dianarobertson7319]

Loved the stroll to the post office and the town. Pinks look lovely. Thank you.

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

Lidl has a lovely bakery section (well, my local one has) with lots of variety of breads and cakes.

[@dinglehopperdaydreamer9882]

Thank you Sean for another lovely video, hope you have a lovely weekend x

[@emmsue1053]

Enjoyed that little mooch out Sean. Thank you.. Yes remember my Grans kitchen cabinet being like a light sage green with a cream colour.. The lamp is beautiful. You're achieving loads right now.

[@sarahstrong7174]

I find a pack-a-mack usefull for the warm wet days.

[@GreenEarthGardener]

NAFLD benefits from eating only in an 8 hour window. This is also called intermittent fasting. I have NAFLD too. Have gone from 118kg to 108kg. So lost a stone and a bit. LONG JOURNEY. X

[@seanjamescameron]

What sort of food do you eat?

[@ChristineHillier67]

Good morning Sean, I love your little village walks, you always point out the beauty of the nature that a lot of people take for granted.The lady in the shop reminded me of the lovely Ruth Madoc, I do love accents! Mmm, sweet potato chips! Hope you enjoyed them.At least you weren't moving furniture about today and sweating cobs! 😂 Take care Sean 💜

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Skipping breakfast is part of intermittent fasting. It postpones your body dealing with food, and the chemical process inside is a good one. It does help to be able to walk that inspiring walk to the PO. All good.

[@theswissplot468]

Good morning from rainy Switzerland, weather has been miserable for some time here as well... and I love homes under the hammer

[@kimmberlie573]

Glad you are painting the cabinet. A nice green to compliment your new lamp would be nice. Also, maybe carry a backpack for shopping and adventures. Pack water and lunch for when you go to the homestead in it too.

[@JoHarmon-hg7wz]

Everything is growing so beautifully in your little garden ❤ today's walk was wonderful with all the greenery.

[@julieford6204]

Nice blog lovely views nice garden 👍

[@kntshovary]

I love the paper bag for the veg instead of plastic. awesome. I try to avoid it here at home as much as possible, but it is still so very much a part of the grocery store. excellent stroll next to the water. lovely day. thanks.

[@helenprocessofgrowing8007]

Lovely to walk with you among such beautiful surroundings.The lamp will sit perfectly on your desk.You certainly bring out the feelings of nostalgia in me with all these pieces of past times.Im off to Barmouth today on the train,going to chill out on the beach if its not wet and windy.

[@muddyboots2531]

I have been watching so many gardening channels with mares' tails, I even had a nightmare that I got it! Almost indestructible.

[@zariaduncan3914]

Sean did you really think the groceries in the bag were free? You’re lucky you got the bag for free! That bit cracked me up!!😂

[@seanjamescameron]

You never know.

[@YolaWells]

Sean you need a shopping trolly so much easier pushing shopping on wheels then carrying it and you could get so much more x

[@MaxinePayne-vb9bf]

Morning Sean thank you another brilliant video, your area looks beautiful and the people seem so friendly.

[@sharonjones3646]

Oh Sean so enjoyed the river the shops the people so traditional as in Wales is .. .and you are so natural no airs and gracias naturally funny and old fashioned like a breath of fresh Welsh air beautiful just what I love ..❤ love from Aberystwyth xx

[@MarleneCurrie-j5e]

Love your Anglepoise lamp with the traditional green shade. Agree with you that the kitchen cabinet needs to be toned down a bit, the ones I remember were usually cream or pale green but please do this in the winter Sean when you have more time. Keep calm and carry on.

[@Angel-002]

We had a blue one & so did my friends family, but I remember a bright yellow one in one of my mum's friends house! It stuck out, but really brightened up a small dingy kitchen.

[@ReneeinVirginia]

I bet the yellow was so pretty!​@@Angel-002

[@ullaMoss-cc1vn]

Thank you for your lovely video, your garden looks very pretty. enjoyed your shopping in your lovely village.

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Wow that is a spectacular view.

[@angiev214]

Cabinet colour cliffhanger! Sean, you wicked temptress

[@FoodThymeAndGarden]

My colors after buying my home 24 yrs ago were Forest Green for the cabinets and white for the hinges and cupboard handles. the white with the rich dark green of the Forest Green paint is so nice. I love trees and the reason for buying this home was it had a attached garage and a beautiful Birchwood Tree in the back yard along with Cedar Trees, 4 to be exact. My love of trees goes back to my early years of 4 and onward for many decades, which for me is over 6 of them. I think you will love the results if those are what you chose for your cabinet. Love what you are filling your beautiful home with all of the special buys from the New to You store. Bravo on the move and your new life.

[@louisep5178]

It is trendy to have a basket on wheels nowadays Sean that might help for larger shopping trips. Lovely vid thank you I enjoyed it 🙏💎 love the light too

[@PatriciaNewstead]

Get yourself a shopping trolley looking forward to you planting at the homestead

[@sammycrangle1000]

The Garden looks lovely really injoyed your video thank you

[@shirleyn4677]

Hi Sean from south central Texas. One observation about the grocery bags made from paper. I use to live in California where they banned paper bags. They are environmentally minded sometimes to extremes (banned plastic straws I forgot what sea creature was injured by it, oh my😂). Though in Texas they don’t have a ban on paper bags you can’t find one for love of money. Apparently you can build houses with wood but bags are a “huge” waste on resources…. The bags I did save have long since gone so seeing yours….on well.😢

[@gailgulliver8970]

Thank you Sean everywhere is so lush and green beautiful .x

[@brendatucker35]

Awesome views of the river today, really enjoyed it very much!!!

[@sandraparry8653]

Sean, We have lots of Meres Tail in Rhyl.i believe it's something to do with a sea bed. The roots are down so deep it's almost impossible to rid it, but have method, you wouldn't like, that helps. Its a prehistoric plant I think, as you probably know. 😊 Sandra. Rhyl

[@colleenmckinlay2916]

Love joining you for your walks by the river. So lush and very relaxing to stroll along with you. Sad that there is no bakery in your village. It would be so nice to have the smell of fresh baked good wafting along the street. I was wondering why there is no brown bread. Multigrain and brown whole wheat bread is so delicious. I guess it is not popular in your area. Have a great weekend. Here in the Vancouver area in BC Canada we are expecting some very heavy downpours . No need to water for the next few days. Good luck with your painting project. My Grandma’s was a soft green with white trim. Wish I had it. It even had a built in flour sifter.

[@YllaStar95970]

I believe Ystad may be pronounced oo-stad, as my thumbnail here is of my home in Finland, which is pronounced YllaStar, oo- la- star.👍

[@stevendowden2579]

great video

[@margaretg7861]

Nice mix again Sean :)

[@know-your-worth-Truth]

Wonderful blog, just all the greens and the trees, the river & you hear the river just magical Thank you so much Sean I listen to the Archers. But I am behind. I listen when on iplayer Thank you once again, Sean, for taking us with you

[@Dornnettchen]

Oh ja, Green for the cabinet sounds beautiful. I love the idea . Nice Weekend to you Sean from Germany🌿

[@TheBeeryBoater]

Hi Sean. I’m a regular viewer but this vlog took me away as if I was with you. Love the natural presentation style, as well as maybe the not-so natural spinning around by your fridge - always has me in stitches. 😉

[@hev2519]

Another lovely vlog. I’m getting braver now about planting in our small garden, having seen how lovely your garden is looking. We’ve bought some pinks to go in and are filling all the containers we have with a mixture of snapdragons (they remind me of my childhood gardens) petunias, geraniums and herbs.

[@violetaduta4078]

Sean,I am glad to see your diet look much better....no processed food there.Nice.Have a good weekend, Violeta

[@diowen2725]

Love the lamp it will go great on your Captain's desk..❤

[@elodieleaf]

❤Have a lovely weekend Sean! I have to go to the embassy in London to get my passport renewed, such a faff😂Loving the sound of the river😘

[@clareiquowalker5760]

Toppy was my cats name back n the day

[@Tanz-og6yh]

Always so enjoy your videos, Sean. I love your calming nature, so soothing. Have a wonderful day 🎉

[@jeanieb2754]

Your accent picks up when you are in the village shops! Your plants are coming on well. You seem really happy and enjoying life, i'm pleased for you Sean! x

[@liztaylor3219]

I have been using Micael Mosleys Keto plan with some success and buy Lidl or Aldi 10% Greek yoghurt and eat with frozen cherries and raspberries - high protein and very delicious! I don’t think he says too much about liver disease but maybe he could help out. I tend to be suspicious of tv experts but am inclined to trust him 🙂

[@catherineclark2949]

They don't supply bulbs with lamps and usually only one type will fit. Loving your walk into the village along the river. I walk along the canal from my house into Chester. Thought you might have taken your cart to carry shopping, looks really useful. annot wait to see what colours you paint that lovely kitchen cabinet xx

[@Jay-Leigh]

Such a busy day Sean, exhausted me 😂😂😂 Another lovely Vlog ❤

[@lizmorgan5463]

Looks lovely walk ,I wouldn't like to walk it on my own,,seems OK for a man

[@leighwiseman8389]

Hi Sean, garden is looking lovely. Like the green lamp. It's a ridiculous scenario isn't it with the passport/driving licence situation. Have a good weekend 😊

[@Katgobou]

Bucket loads of mares tail in wales. My mother used to despair at trying to control it.

[@SueBall-vl8ou]

Bye for now...and a raised eyebrow and a glint in your eyes...it just makes my day...Sue from Arizona

[@LynnDrury]

Your garden is looking lovely so much colour

[@janwilletts1986]

Garden is looking great . Try and keep the mint plants away from one another as they can cross pollinate and end up all tasting “muddy”. looking forward to seeing the Martin Roberts video, I love Homes Under The Hammer.

[@seanjamescameron]

Yes I'm aware of that, I mentioned it earlier this week in a video.

[@richmorg8196]

They say that breakfast sets you up for the day

[@diowen2725]

Another great video Sean, wonderful walk a great tripto the past office and nice bus ride home.. garden looking amazing love the rocky walls too.... make your self a nice pot of tea you deserve it.... thanks for sharing..

[@janebass3372]

I like Jack's food, part of tescos I think

[@angelajane1038]

I was back in the Rhonda Heritage Park yesterday with my family for a Planetarium show in a huge tent. We all sat on the floor with a cushion. I recommend the Chocolate House cafe

[@maureenmckenna5220]

The cupboard is lovely and painting it is a good idea. You also might think about putting on new handles. It can change the whole look.

[@willmcnaughton6363]

Hi lovely area, i have used prime try before you buy, when ordering clothes from amazon, recently got a lightweight rain jacket. U can order a few sizes, then just return, u dont pay till you, say you want to keep, u get a 7 day window.

[@seanjamescameron]

Never knew, will have to look into that. Thank you.

[@amandaivory9324]

lovely place Wales where y lovely nanna white came from lovely garen you have too 🙂

[@aliciaanderson1225]

Great vlog as always Charity shop vlog be nice if you have some near you ☺️ you get some bargains ❤

[@marjaramage478]

I love your aesthetic regarding your vintage purchases. Your house garden is just brimming over with beauty and a sense of wild abundance. The backdrop of the stone steps and wall set off the plants beautifully. Glad you are biting the bullet and overcoming the frustrations of renewing your passport. Be glad you’re not trying to replace a UK passport from the United States. The rigmarole I have had to go through has been stupendously frustrating. I even had to get a friend to vouch for my “likeness” in the picture and vouch for the fact that who I said I was, I in fact was that person. The length of very personal details he had to include about himself including a colour copy of his own passport seemed invasive to me. But then again with heightened security necessary these days I do understand. Lesson learned - don’t lose your passport and renew prior to expiration. Phew! Hope this helps a UK citizen who lives overseas.

[@mikebashford8198]

I make my own brown sauce, it's very easy and much cheaper than HP - plenty of recipes on KZbin.

[@susanclive5568]

Just like me everything done around the archers. Used to listen to it when driving as a courier and now the work has stopped I still tune into the Archers twice a day lol. Love watching you build your new life back in Wales. I'm planning on moving back to be near my family, currently 187 miles away from them. Keep up the good work.

[@cherryrotella3714]

Thoroughly enjoyable. Thankyou 😊

[@Christine-il8nm]

Loving your videos Sean. Your garden coming along great well done ..

[@urbsoapco5489]

That is a traditional colour for an original piece of furniture like that Sean. I personally wouldn’t paint it just give it a good clean. I’m still very envious lol 😂 x

[@carolinecollett4349]

That house is Sold Under Contract! I was interested but I haven't had an offer on my house yet!

[@carolinecollett4349]

Subject to Contract?

[@NoreenHurley-x9k]

Re your comment about working on your allotment for 17 years and not having the impetus to get started on your new one, you are enjoying and working on your move, your brilliant house and the village and general environs, enjoy and next year you will do the gardening thing again with gusto. Best of luck with all of your plans.

[@markshaw5835]

The village reminds me of the Isle of wight. That my favourite place. Been another busy few days for U. Must be difficult remember shops are open or closed

[@carolynjones6524]

Bleancwm ,nothing there ,community orientated, beautiful scenery

[@janinecobb]

Such a Beautiful walk to the post office. You are so lucky with public transport. It outer eastern Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 it’s an hour and a half between buses during non peak times! At least 45 minutes between trains.

[@JanetHumberstone]

Your garden looking nice enjoyed the nice walk 😀

[@sueparsons6919]

Enjoyed your walk to the shops to do abit of shopping. Glad you have decide to keep the kitchen cabinet for food storage. Be nice to see the colours of paint you chose for it. Your back garden looking good with your flowers blooming. Like your table lamp. Have a great weekend.

[@kimellis9347]

That framed thing you want to put seeds in looks like an old cold frame!

[@seanjamescameron]

It is.

[@Sandra_P-ri9up]

A little bit of suspense for the next video. Nice. 😅

[@janebass3372]

I like the bankers lamp, I've been thinking of getting one for ages. Very nice!

[@user-fs6ou3fk9p]

I find intermittent fasting very helpful as well as a good walk to burn off my extra pounds. Your lamp is lovely. The green shade and chain are definitely reminiscent of a bank lamp. The older I get, the more nostalgic I become. The river is so clear. What a wonderful walk along it. I'm looking forward to seeing your homestead soon. Its exactly 7 am here. Your wealth of garden knowledge is much appreciated. Be well from Oregon in the US.

[@SeaShoreAnnie]

Prynhawn Da Sean, What a joyful video taking us on your outings, twas lovely thank you. Ooh I’m so excited for your Martin Roberts interview, the man is a legend, I can’t wait for that. I’m so chuffed you are keeping that kitchenette & I think you’re right to change the colour to one that suits your little Welsh cottage. Anyone thinking of purchasing a property in Wales next to one of our many beautiful rivers should definitely get an insurance quote because the insurance may be more expensive than the mortgage itself. My friend in Llanrwst has sadly had to sell her beloved terraced cottage because she can no longer afford the extortionate cost of insuring it. I hope you’re having a lovely weekend, the sun is finally shining in the north 🌞 Annie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@SeaShoreAnnie]

@@cr-iv1el The high price for house insurance is due to flooding. We have so many rivers here & if your area has a history of flooding of flooding the cost to insure is extortionate sadly.

[@carolvenables3970]

. you're keeping the kitchenette in the house. Lovely lamp , oh and don't be proud. Get yourself a shopping trolley travelling on the bus. Lovely Sean x❤

[@romac9516]

Sean thanks for inviting us in, I love your updates with a cuppa tea. Always wanted a banker's lamp for my desk!

[@bevswift6452]

Should have guessed you were an Archers fan! It is good at the moment. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.

[@audreyfforbes-hamilton]

Lifetime Archers listener here! I have a similar banker’s lamp, it only takes a candle shaped bulb, the round ones won’t fit.

[@FoodThymeAndGarden]

Was that Chocolate Cream pie in your basket under the packs of cat treats? I love those as well not the cat food but rather the cream pie LOL .. Enjoy my friend because we all need a treat when we are eating healthy as well. We get to live only once, so we must make the best of it and be happy and content. For me that is a Cream pie from time to time.. Beautiful as you say my friend across the pond from me here in Canada

[@seanjamescameron]

Only like chocolate as a bar.

[@JennyGunston-uh5og]

I have mare’s tail in my garden in Llanfairfechan.

[@seanjamescameron]

Well you can keep it! 🤣

[@pattyfarghaly1821]

You really need a cheap trolley. They help me alot to carry things. Thanks for the beautiful walk.

[@myralewis1714]

I love the walks and shopping .... thanks. Your flowers are beautiful! Waiting on the paint colors ..... a real cliff hanger.❤😊

[@paulawarwick1854]

Lovely vlog sean love watching your day as it unfolds x😊

[@helendurfee8926]

Enjoy all of your videos!

[@robynpomnitz4483]
