There's something about living alone. I love it myself. I'm thankful every day
I hate it myself It’s too lonely for me A dog is good too
I strongly disagree, you don’t live life to the full if your alone , my mum died in Covid , I’ve met a wonderful person that thought out the night of horrendous anxiety and deep despair of losing my mother kept me sane , I still choke with anxiety, my parents lie up in the village graveyard which I struggle to visit , I’ve inherited an amazing grade 2 listed house , there are benefits to living alone but I certainly can’t see any 😢
We all have days like that sean set out with good intentions. As they say tomorrow is another day.
When you started getting more and more magnets l suggested a flat magnetic sheet for them down the shed. Im now just suggesting a bigger magnetic sheet lol. It will look fab down the shed, colourful art to cheer you up. And free your kitchen from some clutter 😅 . Hope youre having a better day today, sometimes you need to go back to bed and get up on the other side lol take care x
Hi Sean, it’s lovely to see you also have days when nothing goes right. Just remember it can only get better.
Well, you were really cute. I can recognize the boy in you now, the same walk. Your cat has an amazing face - beautiful.
😲 I didn’t realise that was you! 🙈
What a day! We've all had days like that. You didn't let it get to you though and tomorrow is a new day. 😊
Sorry to laugh but this video was a gem. You succeeded in making a bad day interesting! Shed looking great, cat looking great and Sean modelling that hat - priceless.
What a day! But it looks like all your fans sent you lots of love, beautiful gifts. I really appreciate the thoughtfulness of all the people who follow, admire and appreciate ur work Sean. I lost my husband on 11/22. A first it was overwhelming. But now, the quiet and days without plans are welcomed. Taking each day, doing only what I choose to do has opened up a new way of living.
Thanks for putting out videos Sean, My dog had to be put to sleep on Friday and I've been so depressed but your videos cheer me up and are a welcome distraction
So sorry for your loss.
Absolutely I agree with you living on your own...my hubby passed two years ago next week 7/7. I hated every minute be on my own in the beginning...couldn't eat or sleep ..now i am so much better and love being on my own...I understand it now. Like you say. If I want I can open the door or window..or drink coffee all day long😅😅 no one telling me whatever...it's paradise 😊 I have a little dog now...not to be lonely
Hope your having a better day tomorrow. But it's still a great video.
Oh Sean what a day😂😂😂 hope you got to sleep alright, at least your kettle didn't break down so you could have a nice cup of tea 😂😂😂sorry for laughing
It’s almost 1 am in Northern California and I’ve just watched this video.
You are not alone in the kind of day you had my friend, I’ve had them too just like yours.
I almost fell of the bed laughing at the end of you missing your meeting, not because you missed it so much as I could relate to it… imagine showing up for a doctor appt a day early and repeating the same trip one day later, that was me..
Better days ahead. Lovely gifts and cups of tea are always good. Love from my house to yours. 🌹🌸🌻🌺🤗
At least you went a day early! I went for my doctor's appt a day late & totally missed it!😬🤦♀️ I have days like Sean's every day. All my friends laugh at me & say "it could only happen to you", which isn't helpful at all. Still I have to laugh otherwise I'd cry 😄
Those are lovely books about a couple who moved to a North Wales cottage with very little money. The kitchen book is their cookbook on a budget. Very popular stories.
Did you get round to reading I bought a Mountain?
Still reading it.
I read all those books many years ago, when my mum & I spent all the school holidays at our caravan on Anglesey. I loved spending time there & the books were a great read.
That little cutie at the end looks full of mischief, think I recognise him from somewhere. Look forward to some more of those films from your childhood.
I too have the beanie hat with a torch, just like the one Julie sent to you, and use it all the time when I am walking my Madge around our dark country road at night, I find it is great. What a day you had! xxx
You’re not the only one who missed a meeting 😂
Launceston - pronounced lawnston. In Cornwall.
Also a town in Tasmania Australia.
We have a Launceston in Australia pronounced Lonn-sess-ton. 😊
The books were written by a woman (Elizabeth)who lived near Llarwst.She worked part time in a gift shop. She later moved to Gloucestershire and wrote another.
Oh Sean!!!! Talk about a snowball of mishaps in one day. Even down to the biscuits that kept rolling off from inside of the shelf. Dear me! Seeing baby Sean was such a treat you could see your love for being behind and in front of the camera even back then. I shouldn’t giggle but the meeting being the night before? Oh my goodness 🫣. I don’t wish to out Trump anyone here but it actually cheered our home up as we had a family member pass away today. So I wasn’t laughing at you but you definitely made me giggle. Thank you CZcams friend.
Tomorrow will be a better day I’m sure of it. ❤
Bore da Sean. Aw bless you, what a start to the day you had. 🥺 The gifts you received made up for it though. I have that soup maker, it’s brilliant! I bought my husband a hat like yours, he keeps it in the car for emergencies. The light on it is really good.
Glad you enjoyed seeing Phantom of the Opera. Local amateur drama groups are amazing. I love the Lighthouse Theatre Company.. I see their productions a few times a year.
My son saw Spirited Away in London. A bit bigger than a small amateur drama group. 😆 He thoroughly enjoyed it.
Well done with the weight loss Sean. That’s the secret to successful weight loss. Don’t deprive yourself is the answer, which is clearly working for you. 👏
The old film 🎥 is lovely to see. My husband would love seeing the film because he likes to see the old cars. The babies in the film are probably grandparents by now. 😂
Aw Sean, 😢you missed a meeting. Oh you did have a bad day. 😒 Tomorrow has to be better.
Will you put a protective varnish on the trim of the windows 🪟 on the shed? The natural colour looks lovely. A clear varnish would obviously protect the trim but would let you keep the lovely colour you’ve got now. ❤
Here’s to a better day for you. x
Good idea about the varnish. Will get a small pot. Thanks.
Awww. Baby Sean was so adorable. ❤
My brother-in-law was a country guy, a ‘bushie’ here in Oz - had a very dry sense of humour - he called the hats & caps with lights ‘d#*kheadlights’😂
Thank goodness tomorrow is only a day away, hey?🥴
I had quite a bad day and seeing you having a bad day and dealing with it with such good grace and humour cheered me up no end. 😂
Those are lovely little books Sean, I keep them handy to dip into, some lovely recipes in Kitchen in the hills 👍
Awwww Sean what a time you had tomorrow's another day hope that one will be better take care
Your kitchen is going to have it's own magnetic field at this rate
Sean we all have bad days but hopefully tomorrow is a good day ❤
I so commiserate with you. I have had a few of those days. No matter how planned or not planned the day is there seems to always be a sequence of events or happenings that are totally screw up. Why?? Who knows. Really hope the next week is smooth as glass for you. So enjoy your channels. You are so comfortable on camera and I feel like we are sitting at my kitchen table and having a wee chat or going for a ramble in the town or countryside. Keep doing what you are doing. So looking forward to further happenings on your homestead. 💕👍🏻
Loved the film of when you were a kid 😊
I have always loved Hovel in the Hills!! Hope you do too:)
😂😂 You do make me chuckle Sean. The bit at the end about the meeting ohh lordy! Better days ahead
Oh Gawed Sean. Your meeting was last night. You couldn’t make it up. Love your cat. Can I advice you to keep an eye on your bike when you are charging it. I’ve got an e bike and I’m just going out on it. Love the video.

Hi Sean I can tell that you have lost weight so well done your smashing it!!
Sean, I would just say bugger and start again ! Some days go well and you achieve a lot, some days you just wing it. I think from
watching your videos you’re living in a brilliant place. Beautiful surroundings, and I’m tickled pink by all the small independent
shops ( which used to be around when I was a kid ). I think it’s the Pixies that are mucking up your day, at every turn.
Why. Soo sad to be living Alone, I myself am looking foward to that day .... me an my Cat AN then a new dog or two...... ! Turn on some music do some chores and SMILE IN YOUR HEART MIND AN SOUL .. all well be WELL...UNTIL TOMMOROW THEN.😊
Yes, it looks like a nice day in bed, flask of tea, hot water bottle on your back and a sleep and a read and journaling is due. My sort of day. Good morning
I've had a bad morning , went into the supermarket they had no hot cross buns ,was gutted.
What a day, tomorrow has to be better, it couldn't get much worse!!!❤❤❤
Oh Sean, just sitting in my shed on the plot having a cup of tea and having a real giggle at your video- what a day!! That hat really suits you you look fab in it 😃 I have a soup maker similar to that and it’s absolutely marvellous in the winter so quick and easy what a super gift.
Oh Sean, bless you. well sent you a letter and a fridge magnet,so should be with you soon lol. This day will pass and you will feel like your old self soon enough! Your so funny and a pleasure to watch. Cheer up me ole cocker!!!
I have those days too. Lovedthe film looking fwd to seeing more x
Hi Sean, I read Hovel in the hills many years ago. It's a lovely book. I wish I'd kept it. It will brighten your day and lift your mood.
Love watching your day to day coming and going. You have a good attitude although I know you’re fighting health issues. You’re interested in so much and go about satisfying your curiosity. I’ll never get to Wales, so you satisfy my curiosity as well. We don’t have allotments here, so I’m very interested in how you choose paints, plants, decor. You aren’t put off by anything. Looking forward to your e bike videos. Hope one of them is a trike so you have baskets your shopping finds.
Good morning Sean ,great video, the variations of conversation is interesting. I too live alone growing up with 5 siblings getting married mother of 4 now living alone but never lonely. Its please myself come and go. You are fortunate, in lovely surroundings Lots of theatre visits and a good community, handy for shops, its the same where I live, Not too far from Chester and Wales. so much to do in the house and garden life is full. Your weight loss is now more obvious, better than any fad diet just reducing intake. The film at the end is fascinating, my eldest son was born in 1970 clothes and toys were the same wherever you lived. We were living in Welshpool Powys during the 70's times were changing rapidly. By the 80's it was electric charged sit on tractors or trains along the track that was a circular. My son born in 1980 had the train. much more fun than games on a screen that they have nowadays. Good to see the nostalgic movie. thank you for sharing. 😀
You could get some flat roasting trays and screw them to the shed walls for the fridge magnets.
I have one of those soup makers and it’s brilliant. I use it every couple of days. It makes about 4 or 5 portions. It takes a bit of practice when experimenting with your own recipes.
I’ve had a few of these days lately. The very best thing you can do is just have a nice cup of tea and then head for your bed! This video is a perfect example of why I enjoy your channel so much - it’s so real😅❤
I tried not to laugh about the meeting being the night before. 😂 Been there done that!
Some days are just like that, aren't they. If one thing goes wrong, then you can guarantee that several more things will. It's a relief to go to bed and put it behind you.
I love the old film with you as a child. It's nice to relive the old happy memories watching films.
The shed looks good how you've painted it. I think the Rusty Homestead is going to be the best yet.
I was wondering if you'd enjoyed Phantom. So good to have quality performances like that on your doorstep.
Memories of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia being sung many years ago. Thinking Laurel and Hardy but not sure.
Omg Sean you made me laugh at the end- unfortunately I have more days like that than I care to admit to. It is the human condition I am afraid. As a side note I really enjoyed the home videos. Was that you as a child - very cute and you have always loved cats. Unfortunately all the films my father took of us growing up were lost so I must remember them in my head. One of those bad days in my life. Anyway I am anxious to see more homestead videos. My garden is coming along beautifully this year and seems to be ahead of schedule in part thanks to all your old garden videos I used for reference 😊thanks again
Oh my goodness Sean, what a day an a half you have had. I am sorry I laughed at the meeting being the night before. As i am always doing that. I love the cine film, recognise you straight away. Bonny Lad you were,can even recognise the walk. Looking forward to seeing what else you transfer. Wishing you a peaceful sleep an Blessed dreams! Take care Pet, Tara!😊
Love your videos Sean. I have two questions. Has the move & settling in to your little cottage been what you expected it to be when you left London? Also, has there been any unanticipated pleasant/ not so pleasant surprises you've experienced during the last six months? You've made a beautiful little home for yourself & seem so happy having taken a leap of faith. Well done!
So sorry your day got off wrong. Had a few of those myself.
I almost live alone. Have two small pups (jolly companions), two "older" lady cats.
Somehow, an "inherited" grandson. He is 13 1/2, ans is in honors Math & English (writing). Stays on the A/B grade list.
Plays the EUPHONIUM in the Wind Ensemble. Next school year, joining the MARCHING BAND. They have lovely uniforms.
I garden, watch a little U-tube, cook ( love food), create, write and draw in my journals.
The whole lot makes for a lovely life. Keeps us busy, blessed and thankful.
You dear sir have a lovely life. Enjoy it & many blessings.
If you don’t paint the trim it will rot in no time with the rain running down the trim and water getting behind the trim. I have a summer house each of two windows has 9 panes of glass and each of the two casement doors 18 pans and even although the trim is painted it is now starting to rot, I have it a few years, but yours will rot that much quicker. I would have have painted the trim before installing it. Remember the saying, Dont spoil the ship for ha’porth of tar.😉😳
Hi Sean I have days like this where nothing goes right oh well suppose that's life
enjoyed your vlog looking forward to your next one take care! ❤
Oh dear Sean, I'm having one of those days too. I've just plonked myself down with a cup of tea.
I have a soup maker too,they are fantastic, don't bother with recipes ,use what you have left over. If you have a leek a bit past it's best or a few carrots, a bit of ham or chicken pop it in the soup maker, always season and use a stock cube. Mt daughter even popped some left over Yorkshire pudding in with her leek and potato soups. It was delicious.
Oh, yes, always put at least one or two potatoes in,the thicken the soup.
You are certainly looking like you have lost weight. A soup maker will help with that too. Take care, and God bless. 😊
well, that was an upside down kind of a day, Sean! hmmm.... never-mind, tomorrow will be better.. ☺️ Maybe write the meeting on your calendar, it will help you keep track, that is one benefit of a kitchen calendar. convenient for notes about appointments and events, and you see it everyday.
i would have painted the trim before I put it onto the windows ... that's just me lol 😁
Oh days like that are so frustrating! You do get some lovely, thoughtful gifts! And all those magnets! The shed is going to grow in beauty. And your cats are gorgeous. Is there anything you would like from the west coast of Canada? And your toque! It's fabulous! See, you made it a good day in the end, with that thumbnail. 🥰 All the best to you!
Fab video. Hope your day improved. Loved the old video of you as a child. I have lived by myself for a long time. I read that people who live alone tend to be more self-reliant and proactive in pursing their goals. I am never lonely and value the peace that comes with being the master of my domain.🦘🐨
Morning sean, I get those days 😂great video anyway, hope things have got back to normal.
What a fabulous gift…..
You’re looking much slimmer Sean , have a better day tomorrow 🦋
Good evening Sean, when you were in the shed talking about the glass being in the frame,it made me think about the carry on abroad film where sid James walked through a door with no glass,then later going back to the room drunk,walked through the replaced glass and said "they put the bloody glass in!"love the hat, green is definitely your colour dude 😂 Glad that phantom lived up to your expectations.since you said you were going I've been singing some of the songs while doing the washing up! It's strange how something can get in your head! Sorry you had one of those days, hopefully the shamrock magnet will bring you better luck 🍀 take care Sean 💜
Hello from North Florida! I've had days like that... a lot of them actually! LOL... Hope you are having a better one today! I think adding a magnetic board to your shed would look Amazing! Can't wait to see you decorate the shed! Anywhooo, have a GREAT rest-of-the-week! Take care! 😀
Old film was GREAT on a bike then ! And now😂 cute as a button😊 but please try and slow down remember to smell the lovely roses you bought x
Loved the old stuff at the end, my brother was playing the bass drum in the jazz band passing by the New Inn x
I'll send you the longer version this evening.
Same soup maker as mine. Wouldn't be without it! There are a couple of tips to prevent sticking, so read up!
What a great projector Sean I to have lots of reel of film I need to get onto ,I must look at getting one of those I didn't even know you could get .Thankyou so much for sharing love all of your vids .
I've showed up for a play the day before, so I can relate. The energy we have when young, huh? Peddling that fast uphill! Shed looks nice too. Glad the play ended up being good.
Dearest Sean. I could not help myself, I laughed out loud when the biscuits fell the second time and when you ended the video with the missed meeting information. This kind of day is one we all have and they are a pain in the rump. I had one a few days ago, dropping lids for my honey jar and spending time cleaning a sticky mess. The plastic deli containers crashing like an avalanche out of the kitchen cupboard and when I stacked them nicely into said cupboard they fell out again. I admit I tosses them all over the place and the colourful language was far from lady like. I have film from the times of my adult children 46-41 all films like what you showed. Perhaps I need to find them and have you digitize them. I have since lost my first born ( last year ) and would love to see her pretty face as a child again. I have been gardening thanks to your inspiring videos. I also have been enjoying my morning tea with you as always. I am so glad I found your Chanel. Perhaps today will begin better than yesterday and if not it matters not because your life is beautiful and your friends out here will gladly follow your adventures.
We all have these off days Sean, just be thankful for them on reflection as I know only too well , as I worked many years nursing end of life care,alot of people would give anything for another day,we need the off days to fully appreciate the good days, you have such beauty around you,keep safe ❤
Hi Sean there's an old saying "youth is wasted on the young" and it's very true, because by the time you are old enough to know what you are doing or what you want in life, your faculties have gone, so sad!
Oh Sean...we all have days like that...! I hope you are back to normal now...the shots of you as a little boy were great, you really haven't changed much at all...
Oh my word that film of you as a child was awesome! Such a cutie! I see you had the love for cats from an early age. I would absolutely love to get one of those projectors, I have dozens of old cine films, super 8 I think, from 50-60 years ago and would love to see them again. I have no means to be able to view them so will look into trying to get one. I will write the name down from this video and see if I can source one🤔
I wouldn’t know if I could work it though as I’m not too tech minded. Failing that you could do it if it’s something you start to work on? 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Let us know if it’s something you may start to do. Tomorrow’s another day dear Sean and there will always be another meeting waiting for you xx❤️
I believe the grim humor joke that goes along with days like that is “Some days it’s just not worth chewing through the straps!” Having had those days myself I sincerely hope your next ones are better.
🤣
😂😅😂
Just one of those days... at least you got the Converter machine working and could watch your old Cine film (super 8?). I found some old VHS tapes and it was such a joy to see & hear my dear Mum and Dad again, the eve of the Millennium. Sadly I think the old Cine camera reels were thrown away, but if I find any I'd pay to get them converted too - I think I paid £10 for VHS to digital download.
Good morning Sean I loved this video it's real life everyday is not sunshine and roses that is why I like watching you "keep it real " as they say. Looking forward to your recap of the first six months of living in Wales. Kristin from Philadelphia, PA
Aww how wonderful to that film and memories. Cute little Sean love it x
Love your new hat 😂!! It's YOU!!
I hand a tumble down day today myself! Wanted to hide under the duvet. Just exhausted. I had to have a word with myself 😁. Going to make a cup of tea watch you and sow some seeds that will cheer me up!!!!
What a great soup maker I have never seen one before, hat was cool! I love living alone, raised 4 children on my own, all grown so empty nester.
Wow, what a day Sean😅. The only thing that went right was the nice cup of tea😊. Still loved the video though, especially the old clips at the end, wonderful ❤x
Hello Sean, sorry to hear about all the problems you’ve had today, some days it seems that everything goes wrong, but no worries, tomorrow everything will go fine, have a nice evening with your two cats!🐈⬛ greetings from Ghent!
Yay! The grapefruit is still there, its like seeing an old friend 😊 happy now 😂
One of Those Days 🙄
The Childhood film footage of you was Lovely Sean. Take care.
Did you have sometime when you caught yourself thinking about London in the first few weeks. I think as you were coming back home so to speak it properly was reasonably easy to settle.
Oh my, some days azre like that. When days are like that, I just have to laugh and carry on. I enjoyed your video while drinking morning coffee with a heating pad on my back. Yesterday. I spend three hours pulling weeds. trimming two trees. Then working on my garden. 😊 Have a good sleep tomorrow is another day
Hi Sean. We all have days like that. Just have to get on with it and a sense of humour certainly helps. I have lived alone since my partner died in the summer of 2022. I downsized last July and moved from the country to a small market town to be nearer to my son and 4 year old grandson. Living alone does have its good points. Fortunately I am resilient and have always been self-sufficient so in a practical way living alone holds no surprises for me but I do miss having someone around to share things with - still haven't got used to eating on my own. I would change things in a heartbeat if only I could.
Do you miss anything about city life? I made the move away from living & working in & around England's second city to a smaller greener town 10 years ago. Day to day wouldn't change a thing. One pitfall no A&E local & no buses run on a Sunday but on the whole much better quality of life for my advancing years 😄
Oh my goodness what a day you have had.😂😂 Some days we shouldn't even leave the house.😂. I just noticed the little cow on top of your fridge, how cute. That film from 50 years ago was amazing to see. Those precious children are grown up now, so I hope they see the film and get in contact with you. Have a blessed day and know we love your videos so keep them coming. 🙂😺
😂😂😂 some days just don’t go as planned. Glad you were able to find the humor in it. Thx for sharing❤😊
I love living alone. Everyone has one of those days occasionally. Was that you in the old cine film - so cute
Hi Sean, you do make me laugh. Sorry you've had a bad day. I hate days like that. Everything going wrong, it does make you feel like giving up. That's a good price for the gym. Oh no you also missed the meeting 😄😁😆
Hope tomorrow's a better day Sean. All the best 😊
Do not worry Sean, we all have bad days. Yes I am in full blown pain today. Due to over doing it yesterday. FMS is getting on my nerves. Just taking my meds. With a cup of tea. Don’t you have a camera bag, and keep all your bits and pieces in it. So you can just grab and go. Sean, can you speak welsh ? Yes they are nice, you could do a wall on the inside and put your log burner near it for heat protection. At least you haven’t got someone getting on your nerves 24/7. There is nothing wrong with living your life on your own. Hang on. Your not on your own, you have got us lot. 😂. THATS cool, is that you as a kid ? Thanks for sharing.. nobody was there, I have done that before, usually with doctors appointments. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍❤️👍
Yes that was me in the cine film.
You have "that day" out of the way now. Thankfully they don't come round too often.
Janey your very like yourself in that old footage ! ☺️
I would absolutely love it there, so tranquil, another little man cave, peaceful
Hope tomorrow will be a better day for you xx
I'll raise you one! It took 1.15 mins for the dentist to get the root of my tooth out during extraction. So, hoping tomorrow is better!
When I have days like that,I try to see the lesson I'm being taught.. Once I get over my frustration.I now set alarms on my phone to remind me of appointments,events etc,it drives me mad alarms going off several times a day😂 .Sean I just love your attitude,humour, and drive. You make everything look so easy, but I expect there are days when it's a big effort to get motivated.A good nights sleep will put you back on track.
Oh dear, what a topsy turvy day. I have them too now and again 🤣🤣🤣
