Check out the circular rainbow 🌈 on the right hand bottom corner of the screen of the misty mountains.
When did the new kitties, I guess I missed it, do you have a video on it? Been a bit under the weather so not on much.
I enjoyed seeing Amber exploring the garden.😊
My husband and myself so liked your video with your gorgeous cat in it reminded us of our dear Timmy who sadly died befor Xmas this year you even put a saucer down in your lounge we always had water and a little food for Tim in most rooms we miss him so much . I wish you every happiness in your new home xxxx🐈⬛🐈⬛
Printers are a nightmare, I used mine so infrequently the inks dry up.
I once stayed at a B&B which was run by a gracious woman from Iran who only served tea in clear glass vessels. She told me that this is a Persian tradition and in her opinion the best way to appreciate one's beverage. "We drink with our eyes" she said. Upon returning home I immediately purchased glass teaware.
I only drink from clear glass mugs myself. Just as you say, I like seeing my tea. However as much as I love glass tea infuser/pots, I've broken 3 of them in the last 5 years. So now I use a basic white tea pot. I do think the one in the video is very attractive & pleasing to my eyes.
@@janereel1903 ☺ I broke mine too!
So happy to see your little cat exploring outside. I love the way you have arranged the living room, perfect! I bought a 24" TV just to sit on my kitchen table. It has worked out perfectly for me. Enjoying your videos. Wishing you a nice day from America. 😊😺😺
Here in west Coast Canada looking forward to your little garden in your own little back yard.
You said you weren't using TV anymore to save on the licence fee.
The music you chose for the kitty adventure was perfect! Love it!!
So fun to see your kitty cat looking for you every few minutes for security and affection.
Are there other cat neighbors who have come to visit? Your home is very cozy. Happy for you.
Nope
It’s still very cold, possible snow where I live. It is the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. I love watching you, I have always wanted to live in Wales. As I’m now 78 and just had a stroke and heart attack I think my traveling days are over.
The best layout is the one that suits Sean!
My mother used to have one of those roling cleaner..s. suddenly the sound reminds me of her. 😊
My grandmother always used to say "look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves"
Guess that works for $$$ dollars, too.
Lovely to see your beautiful cat Amber. I am really enjoying your vlogs and so glad I found you. I love the fire you have in your living room. Looking forward to seeing what you do with your garden. I think it is going to be really interesting. Thanks Sean.
Here in the East of the Netherlands it looks like Spring (sun shining, green sprouting all around), but there's still frost in the night!
I could watch cats all day. ❤
that gift of a lovely neck warmer that was sent to you, is just a perfect colour that suits you - BUT coincidentally I'm just knitting you a basic scarf now as I'm watching - clearly your viewers want to give you back warmth in just the same way that all your videos bring warmth to our screens
Can’t have too many in these cold welsh winters.
Hello Sean,
Just watching your vlog, it was nice to see Amber out in the garden taking little steps to get use to the garden and the different smells.
It was nice of you to go pay your respects to the gentleman that past away.
If you are having problems with your tv, get a fire stick you don’t need a tv licence with them I have had mine for the last 5 years, you just put it into the back of your tv.
Your living room looks nice, love the cushions, I have a separate freezer for my dog/cat food has they eat raw it’s in my hallway way at the moment when I do finely move it be going down in the cellar..
The beginning of your vlogs the music is it from the last of the summer wine, it does sound like that..!!😊
We have two old clay jugs. One is for pennies, and one for "silver" coins. The silver jug, when full holds close to 1000 American dollars. The penny jug adds up to 150 dollars. It's always a surprise, when you can take it and cash it in.
Hi sean just come across your channel ,enjoying thankyou for sharing your aventures,😊 cats are lovely
Good Morning Sean....... Your wee home looks more and more cozy. The idea of turning a closet into kind of a pantry including a freezer is brilliant. So sorry your tele isn't working properly...very frustrating. The arrangement of furniture is pleasing to the eye. Making the chicken soup you made a day or so ago. All the best always. Fondly, Dorothy.
I would change the sofa to the back wall move the table in front of the radiator and your little fire where the table is that would allow more heat into your room and be nice a warm while sitting at the table but it does look nice where you have them now
The garden is like a small sculpture
When I was a little girl I used to love helping my aunty by using her carpet sweeper. I found it absolutely fascinating. Chest freezers are a must fir bargains and if you batch cook in your slow cooker you can make yourself lots of meals and when you get your allotment we'll....mashed potatoes and all sorts make in big quantities and freeze. Beautiful ❤
I have a chest freezer and love it apart from when I need to get to the bottom of it. It's in my spare room and really would not be without it. I freeze cheese , milk, veg (especially for allotment veg) x
That's what I think too: when you have a garden with vegetables, you need a freezer. And you can use your slow cooker to make several meals at once and then freeze for later.
I think an upright freezer is much easier to organise and to get to food easily. You can see at a glance what you have without having to rummage through everything.
@@dianefarnden8577 you will have to teach me freezer food organisation. Xx
@@dianefarnden8577 I first had an upright freezer, with drawers. Yes, that is indeed easier to organise ... But I found out that in the chest freezer, that looks much smaller, I can put so much more in!
Loving your cat Amber, looks so very much like the beautiful fur baby I lost. Been three months since I moved to where i am. Getting there. Still not straight - really wish you well Sean
same here in N W Wales ,sunny but bitter cold and an east wind. just want to get things planted but not yet though.
You can pull up the back of that scarf & unroll it to cover your ears. It will be handy when the wind is cold.
If you have bought the home, I really recommend looking into a multi fuel stove and opening up your chimney. It will heat the house and you can also cook one pot meals/boil the kettle on the top.
Great idea.
Winter is still here in Manitoba Canada as well. We just got another 40 cm of snow this past week!
They called them carpet sweepers in Australia - my nan had one, haven't seen them in years here, memories 😢
They used to call them 'Ewbanks' back in the day 🙂
I chuckled at the story of the change jar. My husband started dropping change into a wine carboy around 15 years ago. It got to 3/4 full. After long debate, my husband said I could have the money for our savings account - which pays 4.6% interest - if I counted and rolled it in bank wrappers. Many hours later (spread over many days), we have an answer. $2303.15. That's $2100 for savings and $103.15 that I'll spend on the garden. My right index finger is still very sore from the rolling process.
We seem to be having autumn weather early in NZ. Then a day of really hot weather. It's a bit confusing for the plants as well as us! It was lovely watching your little cat explore the garden. 🙂
I would like to know where you got your old green radio now on your table.I love that.Your home is looking very nice.We are in Canada and your spring is looking exactly like ours.Cheers
I would too, it’s lovely. 👍
Google: Roberts Revival RD70 Radio.
Love how the cats are having a little mooch about, they will soon get used it. You are looking very comfy there, hope you get some good news about an allotment...fingers crossed for you xx😊
Hi Sean you could always just get a wooden fire surround and fix to wall and either use stick on tiles on the inside or just wallpaper it. Heather
I’m 80 and can remember my grandma taking me to the Parc and Dare theatre as a treat .
Loved seeing amber in your terraced garden. The living space looks functional and comfortable. Best wishes from the land down under. 😊
I live in Wiltshire and spring hasn't sprung here. It's still cold here but I have started my spring cleaning.
At 00:13 Sean passes the site of the former Station Road Methodist Chapel where my parents were married and where I went to Sunday School in the '50s to '60s. Although it is now just a fenced-off little plot of land it still holds memories for me, and I shall visit it on Mothering Sunday in thanks for what it was and still is, in my heart.
Have a moment to sit on one of the bench, there is one dedicated to my family member: Pauline.
It shall be done!@@seanjamescameron
Sean regarding a new freezer in the cootch ( have no idea how that’s spelt ) , I have a chest freezer that has been in our greenhouse (was meant to temporary it was only place with space and electric but it’s been in there for 2 years 😳) I find that even in winter you can feel the heat that the motor generates in the greenhouse so I’m thinking if your aim is to have a pantry of sorts a freezer in there may keep it too warm, just something you may want to consider. Those teapots look amazing filled with edible flowers and foliage, things like Camomile and Yarrow and even Blackberry leaves and Stinging Nettles and so many more plants that are often seen as weeds but have many many health benefits.
Thankyou Sean for sharing you're lovely Welsh cottage and Welsh scenery with us ❤
A freezer in the closet will require you to leave the door open so that it can work properly. They generate heat and require ventilation to function properly.
Get more plastic jars like that and cover your starter plants outside. Lol. Mini greenhouse😊
Hello from North Carolina in the US.
Lovely daffodils!
Mine are all in bloom. Early soring. Very mild winter this year.
I liked the music when Amber was exploring, suited her adventure.
Great see difference with weather good to see cat going in garden and nice living room
Hi Sean I have a glass teapot with diffuser just smaller than yours. Great for loose leaf tea and for fresh mint tea. Won’t be long before both cats will be laying in garden sunning themselves
I use a Bush 32inch tv, with a Firestick. I've never had any problems, with the sound. If that's any use to you. Best wishes, to you and the cats.
those art deco styles travel posters are quite lovely
The lounge looks very cosy .bootifull 👍👍
It's still freezing at night in the middle of the USA. Love wstching your cat exlore. Reusing that wonderful candy container is great. I reuse anything I can too. I just don't have coins. Sweets disappear fast don't they? Cozy home you have. Too bad the TV was defective. I need to start walking to the shops again now the snow has gone.
Hi Sean, mom asked me to write to you if you would consider placing the 2 beautiful big photos up on the wall where the heater is. Or have another 2 big photos/ paintings one on one side and the 2nd on the other side of the heater. They would give the room a very nice touch ( her words.)
More pictures to follow, just waiting on frames.
Morning Sean, love watching your videos. Make me feel I've popped over to yours for a cuppa and we are having a chat. Because I do speak to you while the video is playing. Still cold in Northumberland. See my community post from a few days ago.
A well-documented cat escape. 🤣🤣 The floor roller thing made me laugh. They were used at restaurants years ago. I have allergies so dust is not my friend. Seemed like every time we went out to eat, they would use the roller around me. Got to be a going joke.
Love the music choice when Amber was very curious to explore her new surroundings.
Glad you didn’t put the table in front of the window its blocks energy. I really like how you have it , it looks cosy 😊
Hi Sean..not sure if it's been mentioned..but the garment that goes around your neck is called a snood..keeps you cosy..😍
I have another name for the snood. I've purchased them on line & it was called a neck warmer or neck gaiter. Interesting to hear other names for items. Whatever word one uses, I love mine as it keeps me toasty. (I'm in the U.S.)
It's also called a 'cowl'...
Your backyard makes for a great catio. Lots of levels to explore, climb, and jump. Perfect for the meowmeows.
It is annoying how we are expected to have a fully equipped home office. I used to have my own business with all the 'stuff' needed but I don't want a 'home office'.
Good of you to attend the funeral. That's what community is all about: caring.
Best to have a vacuum cleaner. It sucks all the crap out of the carpets that a carpet sweeper doesn't. When I lived in Plymouth, the then husband rented the top two floors of a Georgian town house. Until then there was the carpet sweeper thingie. We bought a vacuum cleaner and literally the bag was full by the time I finished one go round of the place.
With fridges as small as we both have...a freezer will be a big help. I've got 2 shelves in the deep freezer inside the landlord's garage. 1 for veg and 1 for meat. It allows me to buy the cheaper family packs of meat and then divide into single portions.
Be warned though....there is an increased amount of guilt if something spoils because I should have frozen something before it goes off.
You have picked music to demonstrate yr cat sneaking around the back garden that immediately sounded familiar to me but at 1st I couldn't place it. I have a crush on an Italian actor who is in an Italian (subtitled to English) romp called Loose Cannons - filmed in Italy. Similar tunes are, I'm pretty sure, utilised to indicate sneaky behaviours in that movie. Bravo tho, the music matches what we r watching perfectly! Nice touch u blurring out the logo on the work van parked up behind yr garden, ha ha. Nanny Skely (Brit CZcamsr), just visited Benadorm & went into a beautiful church to light a candle, where a random wedding was occurring. She filmed a bit 4 us, so this couple in Spain have no clue they r minor celebs on an English woman's CZcams channel (bride wore such a beautiful dress) - so u protected yr neighbours work van being included in your channel - where like Skely's channel, subs/views, r as far away as Australia.
Nice to see one cats going outside u book still going well in library see got old fashion ubank ther were great have great video
Your living room looks cosy! And I enjoyed watching the cat going in the garden ☺
I love my library. Biblioteket..(danish)😊
Hi Sean! Well, it’s still winter here in California in the mountains where I live. We had about 3” of snow yesterday. Of course, we’re at 6,000 feet in elevation. With it being less then two weeks until the first day of Spring, winter is lingering. But Daffodil shoots are beginning to pop up through the snow bringing hope and anticipation for the arrival of Spring! Can’t wait!!!!
I think you're very blessed living there. ..🌲🌿
Life is what you make it.
Bear in mind that a chest freezer will generate heat from the motor so it will make your cubby hole warm. That needs to be taken into consideration when storing other foods that might need a lower temperature.
We have the same fire, it makes the room very cosy! I know you only want a small tv, but if you go up in size you will find the sound is much better quality.
I own a printer I have been studying for 2 and a half years and a printer is very useful but the price of ink is a killer.
Thanks for sharing your experience of your move to wales, the one cat seems to love exploring the garden.
Buy an eco printer, you just pour ink in as you need it, lasts for ages.
Hi Sean, I think the setup in your lounge/diner room is perfect now and in fact it's made the room look a bit bigger I think. 👍 I must admit we still have a printer but that's just us! Didn't know you could do that at the library tho, I learn something new every day! Nice to see your cat out and about looked she was enjoying herself.
I bought a Poleroid TV from Asda 8 years ago. I found the sound wasn't great so I bought a Poleroid sound bar to go with it. The sound was brilliant. I think these flat screen TV don't have big enough speakers.
Having your own little home for you and your cats 🐈 in such a lovely place . God bless
I emptied my son's childhood piggy bank. It was really heavy. I was dreading this, but I took all the 1 and 2 pence pieces to the branch for some poor teller to sort out, but Lo and Behold! - they've got a change eating machine that spins round till all the coins are sorted by the machine and then it prints out a little receipt and you just go to the teller with that. I'm afraid that he didn't have £200 like your fortunate friend, Sean, but I'll be giving him his bank with £14.50 in it when he visits next.🙂
Might be an idea to super glue the lid on the jar and cut a £2 sized slot to accommodate all our coinage, remove the temptation to dip in.
Your breakfast looked lovely and great value for money. All looking cosy and you look happy. I live in Kent and although spring has sprung its still gets cold so dont worry youre missing out. xx
Ewbank we had one living room looking good .
Your room looks really lovely Sean.
What a warm and friendly place you live in , im so glad you are settling in and meeting friends old and new . How lovely to get that jar from the lady in shop 😊
Things like that are just so nice!
Your slipper socks are great and also your book in the library is just fantastic 😊
Amber is a little adventurer and so gorgeous 🥰
You seem settled in. Perfect garden for the cats. She was looking for some grass to nibble on. I made a cat garden in a closet in my living room for the cats. It has edible plants, a working water fountain, and bowls of water with ice cubes. A scratcher and a little cocoon like cat bed make for happiness.
This corner of Wales is still in winter as well or at least the colder wet rather than the slightly warmer wet season that seems to pass as summer these days 😊😅😂
Me! I have a printer, couldn’t get by without one. I love my small deep freeze, I find it invaluable and they really are not expensive. They use very little energy these days. Love your videos.
That cat knows you and has you all worked out, not delaying my freedom until I say so. I have and always had my own printer, they are cheap enough.
I have a small Polaroid TV with cd player. Good sound.
A tea and a chat. Beautiful! Putting a chst freezer in an enclosed space could cause it to be less efficient. I was on a boat that had an ice maker installed inside a deck locker. The owner couldn figure out why it wouldn't make ice.
The sound of the carpet sweeper took me back to helping my Nan do the housework. I like how you’ve arranged your living room and kitchen,very homely and cosy. So glad it’s all working out positively for you in Wales 🏴
Perfect cat exploring music! You can usually pick up fire surrounds on sites like freecycle. I’m
Quite traditional so I’d be placing my fire in front of the chimney breast.
Hi Sean , most of the lower end TV,s don't have a great sound. Small speakers. I solved mine by connecting a soundbar you could buy for a reasonable price. The sound will be much better. Enjoying your videos. Thanks.
Hi Sean,been watching a few of your vlogs and just subscribed.potted up some plum tomatoes this morning,just cut up a few tomatoes and potted them as usual, hope they grow as never grown that type before, and picked up some leaves,or whatever there called of my corderyline tree.spring sort of arrived then disappeared lol.cold and dull again in Darwen Lancashire.really enjoying what vlogs I've seen so far xx
Hi Sean oh you can't beat a good cuppa ...wasn't the actor Robert pugh born in the rhonnda valleys ? It's starting to cool down here in Perth thank God xx
Never heard of him.
That jar is going to weigh a ton when it is full!😅
Lovely layout in your living room. So cosy. What about a big mirror over your fireplace. Just a thought. Your kitty was having so much fun exploring his backyard. All those levels to explore. Perfect tea pot. You will love using that. Have a great weekend Sean. .
How great to see your own book in the library. I got a kick out of your appropriate cat creeping music. I've never heard that song before.Kinda pink pantheri-sh
Enjoyed your vidio .expecialy your walk in town and your kitty in the garden .
Like your garden may be can find a small table and chairs for out there too ??
Just a thought .thankyou for sharing .
Being as I am approaching my mid 80’s, don’t think I would ever fill a jar with change as I very rarely use cash these days, I tend pay for everything by card via my phone. Although my barber prefers cash, after tipping him that normally leaves enough change to tip the person who delivers our chinese takeaway, which we pay for by card over the phone. Think they are the only times I use cash. Like the new set up for your living room.
Good morning Sean, greetings to you and your audience from Newfoundland.
You mentioned Winter being around still in Wales. It could be worse, I woke up to over 2 feet of snow this morning🥶😮😂
Well that’s just showing off now 😉🤣
@@seanjamescameron It's been a brutal Winter, looking forward to Spring.
Hello Sean. I also have one of those floor cleaner . I bought it a few years ago because my cat is terrorised by the noise of the vacuum cleaner so I use it only once a week and the other days I use the f,oor cleaner . It was difficult to find . No shop around here sold it . And not so easy either on line . But maybe they are selling a lot of them now that electricity has become a luxury .
Hi Sean. Argos have a 24inch TV for £119.99 which I bought for my snug which is 8ft by 11ft. All usual connections for your DVD player etc and apps include CZcams that I watch exclusively having chopped in my TV license about a year ago. The sound isn't bad but if you want something better for music etc buy a soundbar preferably with subwoofer. I've got one in my living room (also from Argos quite a while back for about £80) and the sound is awesome. Happy listening!
Why was I having worry when Amber went out? 😮 how daft am I?
I’m so pleased you did attend the funeral Sean, I was the warden & Verger at our village church for four years, it was heartbreaking to see funerals with only three people there so don’t you worry being away thirty years doesn’t matter at all.
Thanks for another lovely Vlog all the gift were really nice.
Oh! By the way it’s freezing over here in south Lincolnshire almost set the coal fire today even though the radiators were on 🥶🥶🥶
Stay warm Sean ❤
The cats seem to love the garden maybe grow a bit of catnip plant in there for them
Hi from Scotland hi sean thanks for sharing you lovly vidio ,sean i collect 20 pences and 2pound coins plus change in separate tins and it means when I go abroad for my holidays I have a good sum of money to add to my spending money ,sean it's not a good idea putting a fridge 8n that cupboard as I did it and it made the cuboard damp ,and the back of the fridge can get hot take care so glad you are meeting up with old friends
Put the jar money towards a down payment on your own place! You'll be surprised how quickly it adds up, particularly now that there are pound coins.
Your idea to add a "Look Book" as you called it on the website that answers commonly asked questions is a good one. I can't keep up watching all your videos (you post a lot) and I do have those questions about what you're doing, etc. If one could consult a directory of sorts, that would be helpful.
Modern tvs don’t have very good speakers on them buy a cheap sound bar with the next one you get if you don’t like the sound
