I lived in London for a short while many years ago. There were "Visit Scotland" posters at the local tube station entrance with a beautiful view of a Scottish loch. I looked at it longingly on my way to work every morning. It made me yearn for mountains and space. I eventually found my mountains and space in a quiet corner of Cumbria, where I've lived for the last 40 years. I don't think I could handle all the busyness and noise of any city now.

I fee like that anywhere round London - can I join you?! I should have made that move already - grew up in Yorkshire which was far calmer and more beautiful interpersed with some smaller busy cities of course, and nearrby Cumbria saw me hiking all over the place in the less touristy areas as well as the famous ones.

Great to see Kensey again! He's hanging in there. And the waitress saying "YOU!" Priceless. Heartbreaking to see so many places closing up. I'd stick with getting fresh plants for your allotment too. At least you're Christmas shopping is done!The busyness is nice at first but gets frustrating and it's nice to leave. 3-4 hours isn't too bad of a distance to pop over now and again. I find hotel rates are really good after New Years. Or as soon as warm enough for cats to survive alone at home. NOW, get back to the Rusty Homestead! I want to see an Apple tree go in!!! Good video!

That music playing when you were on the allotment was so wistful, almost haunting. It made me so sad for Rusty. Also my own dear cat that I lost recently. I can’t seem to get over it. 4 months ago I too moved house. I haven’t settled after 38 years in my last house. All I keep thinking is, “I just want to go home”. Alone now my husband has gone, your videos are the one thing that give me cheer on “a depressed day”. I think I must get another cat from the rescue centre. A house isn’t a home without one is it? Thinking of you often Sean, God bless you my dear.

I also had to visit the East End of London nearly a year ago for my eldest brother’s funeral and it was like visiting a different country.

Lived in a city and lived rural. Rural was not good. Lacked jobs, lacked diversity, and lacked activities for my kid. Not to mention choice of doctors and if needed a major surgery, not gonna happen there. So back to city and don't regret it. Got a hospital right down the street, got many restaurants to choose from, lots of jobs, and shopping malls. I like solitude as I have aged. So just don't do the crowds. No problem. I got gardens and made some ponds. So I get my flowers and veggies right in yard. We are all just different. My parents prefer rural in their retirement. Some can adjust city to rural, some don't. I live by a busy school. Love watching the kids walk by and the school buses I still get a kick out of seeing, Reminds me of my childhood riding in one. You dont have to be busy in a city, can avoid the crowds, and the noise is not constant. Well at least in my city. Just want you to be happy wherever you choose to live Sean.

A little jaunt, spirits lifted but all changes, some not for good ....one can't change time... You have all you yearned for for all those years, when you were in London. You have your mountains, you have peace and quiet, you're near family, you are making way in the community, you have your little plot of land.... live in the present, unfortunately the past is a happy memory nice to visit but don't stay too long... the future awaits..

Great video. I breathed a sigh of relief when you got back to Wales 😂

Such enjoyable filming, you're an expert Sean. When I've gone backwards in time to past habitats, it feels like an old film I once watched, total detachment.
