- Start of a new week and it's a very busy morning and work on the homestead takes a giant leap forward. Plus trying sourdough bread for the first time.

When I was a child small towns didn’t have self service shops until the 60’s, old grocery shops had large slabs of butter which the assistant would extract lumps of using butter pats to Pat the butter into the weight required, it was quite a talent.
When you showed the cctv and you said you wanted to keep an eye on the wildlife I thought”look a wild Welshman” 😂
You could do with a handrail on the garden steps 🙃
@susanelwood5794...I was thinking the same thing too, those garden steps are too steep & plays havoc on sore knees!
I totally agree!
I was thinking yes a hand rail especially needed when it snows
Good hint, I take all frozen items out of packaging and put them into freezer bags, creates more room.
My old mum started doing that 20 or 40 years ago... she's dead at the moment, bless her
You will think I'm being glib, but your channel is 10x better than anything the BBC puts out these days. Real life in the valleys, loved this thanks Sean
Totally agree with you.🙂
Sean is not a true representation of a Welsh village. Us welsh are more money conscious.
Love your videos, have a go at making soda bread, it's easy and delicious xxx❤
OH,Sean, That water bill is far to much.
As you know I live alone, in Wales. I have a water meter. And you can request one even if you share a pipe, any way I hate to see you ripped off.
My water bill for the Year is £246. With a water meter, you would save so much. Ask your landlord and Dwr Cymru. A water meter will save you loads . Dear Sean, please look into it. The money is better in your pocket than theirs.
Iceland Fishfingers, in boxes of 10 ,they cost,£1, and are really nice.
I always take a bag with me when I go shopping, so I never buy another one, save a few pence.
Love your videos really do.
Just saw you putting up the Rhyl fridge magnet. Glad you received it 😊
With love Sandra. Rhyl. 🎉🎉
Hi Sean, I live in Orkney, and we have very light nights throughout the night here. I love staying out past midnight and enjoying the company of friends…
That sounds amazing ❤
Chandos Beauty is the most gorgeous rose. You will not be disappointed.
Just a little tip when you shop for food. Put the new food in the back. Bring the Older.😊😊 food to the front, so you rotate it and you'll see what you bought.
If there’s a permanently shady spot outside, you could use it as a cool pantry, especially in cooler weather/at night. Good for vegetables, fruit, or things you’re going to use up quickly. We have a metal filing cabinet for this, it’s invaluable!
Sean, may I make a suggestion. When it comes to your fruit and vegs. If the grocery store keeps the fruit and vegs in non refrigeration. You should be able to keep them on the shelf. Once you cut up some fruit, then you can put it the fridge if needed.same for your drinks. I would use the grocery store as a guideline for storing your groceries.
I worked in the Northwest Territories (Canada). Very far North. I recall people mowing their lawn at midnight. Also, when you left the pub at night, it was still light out
Nice to see how much fun the cats are having outside. I agree about having a clear clean house. It helps keep you balanced and a sense of control
Sourdough is lovely with avocado and poached egg. I’ve loved watching Race across the world. Brings back memories of places you’ve been. We can expect another celebratory one soon I’ve been told. Great vlog. Your gardens looking really nice. Have a good week🐞
its not your settings, its your stuffing the back where the cold comes down, the fridge needs circulation. That cauliflower could be soup tonight. that rose has a nice thick bunch of cut branches, it will be a beautiful addition to your garden. lol
You are right Sean. That kabucha needs to be kept frigerated. You need a fridge just for your drinks and condiments. I added cameras all over the garden this last year. It is interesting what creatures visit the garden at different times of the day. Your content has evolved and your happiness since you moved back home really comes through with your vlogs. Enjoy your week❤
Omg I'm hysterical watching and listening to you😅😅 !!! Dump that fridge and buy a second hand one 🤭🤭 Thank you Sean x
No, do not buy a second hand fridge! The old ones use much more electricity than the new ones! (I know from experience)
@@ingeleonora-denouden6222 I was thinking of his money tho x
Sean ,you need to get a large fridge / freezer for your spare room so you don't have to go to the shops all the time and have more time on Rustys Homestead . ❤
Yes, that is my feeling too…makes sense👍 cos’ that’s what I do, myself!
Maybe Sean likes the social interaction of regular trips to the shops.
Yes, as he lives alone it’s his way of getting out and speaking to people.
Energetic video Sean!
I am always bobbing about doing different things all day. I like being on my own and having a routine that suits me.
Thank you for sharing your days with us, very much appreciated 🌻💯
I am just going to plant my sunflowers then have a cuppa 😀
It’s personal choice really, I would have a bigger fridge/freezer because I feel more organised that way and popping into the shops a lot would mean me spending more money, but some people like to eat lots of fresh stuff so don’t really feel the need for a bigger freezer, it’s ok in summer nipping out every few days, but winter time not so much fun, shopping as a singleton isn’t easy either.
Do you realise that you are overloading your fridge and freezer!!! That stops them working efficiently🤦♀️😎
Freezers are more efficient the fuller they are. Fridges are the opposite.
I’m in a two bedroom flat and on a water meter. My direct debit is £14 month. Also, it’s not advisable to wipe counter down, dry your hands then dry the dishes with the same tea towel!!!🤦♀️🥰😎
@@susanxa8158 Refrigerators might be a bit more efficient when full as well. Due to the thermal mass of a full refrigerator it will not need to cycle on as often, but when it does cycle on air flow is impeded and it may need to run longer. But, when you open a full refrigerator, not as much air will escape it and be replaced with warm air that needs cooling.
Just an idea for your shopping delivery. I have my bags ready at the door, unload from those green things and carry my bags to the kitchen. Is that a possibility? Really enjoying your videos. Love the countryside,river,mountains. Broccoli in the fridge!
Take a photo of that rose and e-mail it to your supplier. It looks in a poor state. They should not be sending you something with black spot. It wasn't exactly cheap.
Emailed them this morning.
Looks like a bareroot specimen that should've been potted on in March. That one has been ripped out of the ground very recently by the looks of things. Disappointing with that price tag.
Your content is much more interesting than anything the BBC or indeed our ABC comes out with
When introducing new food to cats, it should be done little by little, every few days increase the new food a little, and reduce the old, because otherwise they can have digestive problems, Greetings
Hello Sean,good to see that you got some work done on the homestead. It would be good to hear about your childhood in Wales sometime. It's nice to see the cats outside. I look forward to seeing the Rose in bloom.😊❤
I am amazed at how you filled your small fridge. Wish you could buy a larger fridge and keep it in the spare room. It will really cut down on your frequent trips to the store. It would have an extra freezer compartment for you too. We buy in bulk all the time and there is only the two of us now- empty nesters. But I look for sales and then fill up my dry goods cupboard and freezer. Really helps the budget. Also as the summer progresses I fill up my freezer with all my garden veg…..peas, carrots, beans, zucchini,beets , tomatoes etc. I have already filled 8 freezer bags with the first growth of my rhubarb. Soon you will be doing the same from your wonderful homestead. Looking forward to seeing your shed. A great addition. Have a good week. Take care.
Just the right time, I can watch while I eat my breakfast. During the war, my Father made our butter, we called them butter pats. Light here in East Yorkshire at ten o`clock. You do ned nother freezer, Sean, but what about a cool box. We took one when camping. We either used ice packs, or bottle of frozen water. Bucket of cold water for your drinks. I wash up once a day, saves washing up liquid and water! I put them away the following morning when they are normally dry.
Very interesting video, you make it that way. Always looking forward to the next one. Thank you Sean.
That first cup of tea in the morning is liquid ambrosia. Nothing like it. I was raised on tea even thought I’m American. My family heritage is British on both sides. Strong, black and no sugar. Cheers.
I have the same size frig as you do and stuff freezes in the back. Sometimes I put the broccoli and/ or kale in a jar of water like you would do a bouquet of flowers. They will keep a few days like that.
I do this too and spring onions and celery
thanks for showing the cats shaun they look happy bless them. you are hillarious loved your little dance in the living room when you had a drink of your pop ha ha.
Sean, where there’s a will there’s usually somebody dead !
I make bottom of the fridge soup with leftover/soft veg add a potato to thicken it and some grated cheese and it’s delicious.
I should have told you, but some of the air fryers do all kinds...slow cooking, dehydrating, steaming , pressure cooking, baking, air frying. So really it could be all you would need and a lot cheaper in the long run
Another lovely video. I think you may need to buy yourself a bigger freezer even if you have to keep it in a different room to the kitchen, for example the extra bread you bought etc could have been frozen down until you needed it. Also I don't think those drinks need to be chilled constantly, they would be ok just chilling them a few hours before you know your going to drink them. Just love the way you were so honest about not knowing anyone you know that you would want to go around the world with etc, think secretly most people would say the same if they were being quite honest. 🐈⬛🐈⬛💐
I lived in San Francisco area many years and got to really love the taste of sourdough. I have it toasted now most mornings. It’s so delicious. As far as your refrigerator you need to organize it better. What about your meat taken out of package put in freezer bags and put in freezer. I guess it’s a skill to organize…
It's Tuesday here in Edmonton, Sean ! Thank you for another GREAT video. Just keep loving them { and you } more and more. You've brightened my days since I found your channel about 6 months ago. You cottage is so cozy and your back garden is beautiful. Take care and God Bless. Fondly, Dorothy.
Same here in far west Cornwall, there's still light at 10.45pm - however, i find it gets more suddenly dark from mid August onwards here (which i don't like at all ).
There's definitely a difference compared to London as I am originally from London 🌅
Same here. In Far West Cornwall and originally from London. I sent Sean the St Piran flag magnet, purchased from the gift shop in Marazion, which is top left on the fridge. Do you have a magnet on the fridge? It's a bit like Vision On that was on the telly in my youth, waiting to see if your artwork is displayed 🤣
Good morning Sean just a thought about your grocery delivery, you could use your laundry basket to collect your groceries at the door. Have a lovely day 😊
Hello Sean, just watched your vid re assembling your new shed, on your own, you did really well! We both thought one or more sides would fall down, like if I had tried lol!
A little tip though, your mug of tea would be really nice if you add milk after tea has brewed, although think you like milky tea!!
Watch all your videos, keep on making them, you make us smile and laugh, you're a lovely guy.
Wait until Thursday video.
The keep veg longer in particular green veg and salad, if you wrap it in a jcloth or kitchrn roll and put in fridge . Potatoes and onions put in a dark dry cold cupboard.❤
Waitrose frozen Chunky Haddock Fish Fingers, all fish no fillers. They do Cod as well. ❤
Will check them out.
Hi Sean, that rose looks poor. I can see why you were disappointed. I started rose growing 4 years ago. I always thought they were hard work. But I've gone mad now. Filled the garden and any pots with roses. They are so beautiful. I get mine from David Austin roses and I've never had a poor rose. If you can check them out. Lesley Derbyshire
We had a water meter installed and the bill went down by half!
I pay less now than decades ago due to the water meter. Singletons especially benefit from them unless you bath every day or have a swimming pool.....
I had a what we call a “bar fridge” for 10 years without a freezer and did just fine. Because of it’s size I never had food waste and ate better with fresh food. The only thing I missed was not being able to have ice cream. So, what did do? I made it a special treat to go to the ice cream parlor. Just over 3 years ago, I was finely able to purchase what we call an “apartment” size fridge with a tiny freezer not much bigger then your freezer. And you know what? I got so use to having the small “bar fridge”that the one I have now always appears half empty! LOL
Hello Sean...I am the OCD person who comments!...and I have an idea...clear everything out of the cutch (cellar head is what it is called where I am from), I dont think your cabinet would fit there, but if it will...maybe consider having it there. If it doesnt then get a smaller container/cabinet/ shelf set or even just a veg rack and place that in the cutch. All your fruit and veg could then be stored in the cool of that cubby hole...that's assuming it is cool in there!! Just my musings Sean...feel free to ignore me!
Yes I put my veg in the garage where tts cool and dark. I also find some of the veg at the back of the fridge can freeze.
@@chuckylamb4398 Yes...I think if items touch the back of the fridge they tend to freeze...I have had his happen as well...
Cauliflower or Broccoli doesn't need to be in the fridge if anything isn't in a fridge in the supermarket then it doesn't need to be in the fridge...no wonder you've no room ..just somewhere cooler will do Sean 😊 ..
I love watching Stephanie also. I have been watching her for many, many years.
Me too!
I have a confession to make I fell asleep watching your latest vlog in the early hours but woke up to hysterical laughter and what sounded like a shed falling down. Please can Sean or anyone point me in the direction of it as it sounded hilarious. Thanks.
Hi Sean, your water bill seems excessive to me at almost £67 pcm - I pay £26 (water meter) my house roughly same size as yours, I have a large garden that takes a lot of watering and I too live in wales so imagine it’s the same water company. Do contest that bill just in case they’ve included arrears from the last tenant. You really do need a larger fridge/freezer or a separate freezer for all those veggies you’re going to be growing. Maybe that brilliant store Too Good to Waste has a decent one 👍🏻😀
I agree with you Sean 's water bill is too high, I live in North Wales. Same company, Dwr cymru .
Hi Sean, loving life and enjoying your channel. I used to on your fb group many moons ago but came off there 5 years ago and found you on here. I bought the chandos rose from qvc other day and its in a 3 ltr pot so hoping for good things when it comes 🤞 you're doing great on the homestead 😊
I think you need a larger 🇨🇦size fridge for home. And maybe one day repurpose the small one on the homestead. Hopefully a company can give you a power station with a solar panel to evaluate so you can plug stuff in so you can have tea and healthy snacks. 🙂
Vaguely I think Sean had a solar panel on one of his plots to run a fan in the summer 🌞
I really like sourdough bread, especially toasted. I just watched a video saying that sourdough bread is probiotic and good for gut health. Even better, then. It is a bit of a challenge to make, but seems like a nice winter project to learn. You have to remember to feed the starter.
Try charity shop for knives and cutlery. They always have some and things you need and didnt think you needed lol
I use the Miniml range, I buy their 5 litre containers of clothes washing liquid, fabric conditioner and surface cleaner. I find they last ages.
A little tip i picked up from facebook pod is tgat, if vegitables you buy are not frozen in the supermarket keep them out of fridge at home. Put in a cool dark place (under stairs perhaps?). Apparently with some veg the cool of the fridge damages tgem so tip is...
Take from any plastic packaging, put in cool dark place to let them breath naturally and keep fridge for products it tells you to put in fridge.
I used several stick-on shelves both in kitchen and bathroom. You could put some on the end of the kitchen cupboard plus the side of the fridge. Mine have been up 5 years and were so easy to put up, no holes, just draw the straight line first. Got mine from amazon
My butter paddles came last week and my cream/yoghurt is culturing now.
Komboucha will store nicely out of the fridge until opened.
I think a weekly meal plan will help you, starting with the food you have in and I agree with kitchenworker re the cabinet. You have reached a stage of squeezing stuff in
Hi Sean it’s 2.40pm in Singapore. Good Afternoon everyone 😊
Good afternoon 😊
It's 9.02am here in England now, but good afternoon to you 👋
@@Angel-002 😍
@@helenmorton8718 😍
Suggestion: Write a plan for your meals for a few days at a time: breakfast, lunch, supper. Place it on your fridge with a magnet. It will help you plan how much you will need for the week. We (two of us--seniors) also keep a list of what is in the freezer. It helps to write the date on your list when you place in the freezer.
I am thinking you may be able to save money by trying this.
I enjoy your blog. Good luck.
I was just going to say the same. We leave a couple of nights a week for a random choice if you don't fancy the original plan lol ! 😂
love all your channels Sean…sourdough,makes a lovely toast 🇦🇺i’m kay in Bendigo Victoria Australia
I agree that rose is a poor specimen of a beautiful variety. Enjoying this weeks video.
I have 3 chandos beauty roses and they are beautiful and they perfume is exquisite
Hi Sean, fridge is like a jigsaw puzzles, everything has a place, mint sauce should be put in fridge once opened 🙂
You really made me chuckle with this one, your little throw away comments are hilarious! Thank you !
Thanks, you just reminded me that I fed my sourdough starter last night and it is time to make bread. 😊
Looking forward to watching the shed assembly!
Morning Sean, Lovely video and looking forward to your shed up and that cuppa tea in hand...bootiful!
Despite the shrinkage of fish fingers, a fish finger sandwich is still one of my favourite things - but they have to be fried in the pan, and with a splodge or two of tommy sauce!
That's the video I was going to make - fish finger sandwich but these are thinner than thin!
I noticed the same Sean. Its ghastly how they are cutting back @seanjamescameron
@@seanjamescameron Gonna do that for tea tonight anyway!
So exciting to have the shed soon.
The broccoli keeps well if you cut a slice off the bottom and stand it in a cup of water, just like cut flowers. You'll be amazed how much it drinks.
I live on my own sean ,my water bill 20 per month . Extra lge battered fish fingers ,as nice as a piece of fish .fish. Fingers mash ,cheese sauce and frozen peas .lovely jubbly .
You can get a little fridge thermometer (I have one in my fridge) which will tell you if your fridge is at the right temperature, as it will change when you put more/less food in - very useful I find! I too follow the wonderful Stephanie on You Tube! I too have tried the sour dough, but do not like it, hope that you enjoy yours, as it looked lovely. I only have a small under counter fridge, with a little freezer compartment in the top, but I do have an under counter freezer, which is very useful I find. You are really good, keeping up with the washing/drying up, and keeping your kitchen clean and tidy. xxx
Hey Sean, I can recommend the rose Esmerelda as being highly scented too. Matthew
Sean cut grapefruit in half sprincle suger over it and eat each section with a tea spoon. Nice first thing when you get up.
I'm right at the top of Scotland and it's not really dark at all right now, maybe between midnight and 3am ish but I can still see and often potter about my garden at 1am 😂
Wonder if it would help if you made a weekly meal plan then you wouldn't have any waste. I always look in my fridge and freezer before doing a shop and freeze my fresh meat into portions as well as my rashers of bacon. If you have a recyclable bag put all the spares inside and hang the bag up in the cutch
Good afternoon Sean, your garden is looking beautiful, fantastic video again, I was watching some of your older ones overnight as I just couldn’t sleep from about 3.30 am, I think your channel must be one of my favourites, thanks for sharing your journey.
Thank you very much, I also have a second channel at www.youtube.com/@seanjcameron/
@@seanjamescameron ooh thank you very much, brilliant I’ll definitely be having a look at those, thank you once again.
Kombucha does not have to be kept in a fridge. It’s stored on the shelf in the supermarket
If you have to make choices for the fridge I would take some of the fresh produce - Broccoli/ spinach out and possibly store them in a paper bag and in a cool area of the house. I agree with the person who suggested a larger freezer when funds allow and possibly put it under your stairs if you have a power source or in a bedroom?? 😊
Why not get a folding cool bag you could keep stuff in it and alternate freezer blocks in your freezer , I like the folding bags take up less room x
I love your channel and your honesty. You make me laugh when you shove things in the freezer or fridge. Hope in the future a bigger fridge will come your way. You need one just for your milk. Love your garden and your homestead….. looking so nice. 🌺🌸🌺
Gardens looking full and nice
The whole sunlight thing is so screwy in those places. Took a few days with the ex up in Alaska and remember sitting in the hotel hot tub at 11:15 at night and it was like the middle of the afternoon outside. That would just mess me up if I lived there! I do have a membership at a local warehouse store and there are things I definitely buy in bulk. Saves money for sure. I buy bulk chicken breast, for instance, and part them out to put into the freezer so I have several days worth. Just a matter of developing a weekly meal plan so I know what to thaw out for the week.
Content is a fine place to be!
I’ve just received an absolutely gorgeous hybrid tea rose called “Nostalgia”. It produces beautiful cream roses edged with deep burgundy and has a delicate but intense scent. I can’t wait for it to flower 👌😊
if your food is from waitrose they tell you the driver will bring it in and help you unpack it... I am nearly 70 and a female and they help me always ... I like Sainsbury's but I don't shop there anymore as they stand at the door and let me struggle ... for £4.00 deliver from waitrose they will bring the shopping in for you... you need a bigger fridge /freezer to store your food better .. bless you Love tuning into your channel to see the cats and the rusty homestead keep safe
Tesco are most helpful too. They are so kind🐞
I'm glad you had a good day,
you're much better than BBC
Thank you as always, Sean. You brightened my day as always
Kumbucha doesnt need to be chilled, but it is nicer to drink cold.I make my own kumbucha, and flavor it from the juice of the fruits I canned, you can also use frozen fruit, that you can cook down, to release their juice . It seems complicated to make, but it is sooooo easy ! Black loose leaf tea, water , sugar and a Scoby. Scoby doubles in size at every batch, so it's a " buy once" and have it forever type thing .
Your right about the sun going down at 22.45 here in Galicia is the same. Great videos.
I just love your vids Sean .just love your enthusiastic view for life .many thanks .
We have longer days in Cumbria compared to the South!! Also we use an aquahouse gravity filter like a Berkey but cheaper..you can buy them from the water filter man on line .. it filters flouride, chemicals, pharmaceuticals etc.. we cook with it, drink etc.. it's brilliant 🙂
Morning Sean 😊You need to try Waitrose fish fingers in the chilled range, absolutely delicious, and they are massive. You do make me laugh when you say Oooo silky knickers 😂😂 I can't unpack my shopping with your voice popping into my head and it always makes me giggle.
Will check them out next time.
With drinks Depends on how many you drink in the day. Put 2 in the refrigerator in the morning. This way you don't have to put all of them in there and you leave yourself room.
Hi sean love your vids .im doing similar things to you i moved back to small counrty place after 30 yrs and love the butcher baker and fruit and veg shops and homely feel .im actually buying biscuit tins this week as all 4 grandkids stay at weekends and so we all bake at weekends.also im now baking own bread which is lovely as no sugar is added like shop bought bread and trying to eat healthierx
Hi Sean, if I were you I would store a lot of your vegetables (apart from the likes of salad stuff) in the under stair cupboard as it will be cool and dark in there so they will keep better and for longer so will free up room in your fridge. Heather
another great vid/chills me out for the day/thanks
Don't you buy too much food? I buy vegetables (and a few more things) once a week and at the end of that week I ate all of it.
Not having milk gives me more space in the fridge, I only eat yogarde (organic kind of yoghurt) or quark (soft cheese) with my muesli. When I drink 'tea' (herbal or rooibos) it is without milk.
that is a tiny fridge & freezer Sean. Maybe a larger fridge could go onto your kitchen counter, allowing more cool storage within easy reach. Then a separate small Freezer with drawers for organising your frozen food. Lovely biscuit tin.
Good idea with fasting past 6 o’clock. I do this along with having only 2 meals per day, and it really helps with weight loss and with reduction of reflux.
Me too. I go 6pm to 7am.
Sour doe bread, toasted, buttered, then,Avocado on the top....beautiful!
London is In the East and Wales is In the West . The Sun Sets In The West So Its Lighter For Longer ! Your Memory Was Correct .
My favorite snack is sourdough toast and honey with a cup of tea. If you could obtain a crate like the delivery person has, just switch the full crate for the empty one with each delivery. Also, I know you lack the space for a full size fridge but an under cupboard cooler to contain your fruit and veg would save them from getting squished in that tiny fridge. (Or another tiny fridge/freezer in the other room?) Good luck with the shed!
I’m in West Cornwall and it stays light until nearly 11 too 🤩
Consider a box outside by the back door for veggies it would be cool as it is low against the wall and save you space,
