It saddened me by the death of michael moseely. I listened to his potcasts every night before sleep to motivate me to get better after my surgery. He will be missed. He appeared to have been a genuine person, so gentile and explained things simply in a lovely tone of voice 😢😢
It's very sad, I don't watch tv any more but used to like him very much in my viewing days. Life can be cruel.
@@anniemac3075 it's always the good people. His podcasts are brilliant x
He was paid many thousands of pounds by Big Pharma to promote the untested experimental injections on tv as ‘safe and effective’. This was about to be made public. Perhaps it wasn’t an accident after all.
@@janecox4173 Too true, it is isn't it.
I'll have to listen to his podcasts, where are they to be found?
X
I'm in Canada. TVO had Trust Me I'm a Doctor series. I am really terribly saddened by his untimely tragic death. What the hell?? Was he drinking and got confused and then got heat stroke? Just shocking!
Going to add my sadness at the passing of Michael Mosley. Such a sad thing to have happened. I’ve loved his radio programs for many years. So sad for his wife and family.
HI Sean, im 71 and one thing I have learned it that fad diets dont worki long time, just eat what you like and what your body tells you what you want, its portion size that matters and nothing else. you know when your pigging out, so I HOPE THAT HELPS
That's what I'm doing.
The Rusty is so realistic siting on the books. ❤
Sorry but looked better before but that's just me 😊 I liked the bookcase in the alcove with the desk .
Me too. I think the bookcase looked better in the alcove. Seems a pity to hide a display unit in the alcove. The degree certificate could be framed and put on the wall above it.
I think when furniture is angled in a corner it takes up more room. Also, because there's a bigger gap behind it, there's more dust falling behind that never gets cleaned, because the furniture is too heavy to move.....just my opinion on it, but it would be boring if we all liked the same😂😂 As long as he's got it how he wants is all that matters😄
I think your room is looking lovely Sean, the picture would look good on back wall to .Great vid thankyou and bye for now .
Your house will look beautiful when everything has a home and pictures hung .
Ahh nostalgia is not what it used to be , it's a thing of the past 😂😂
The good thing about living in the past, is that you know what’s going to happen tomorrow.
Yes it is so sad to hear about Micheal Mosely.
It brings home how simple things can become so important.
I was once stuck for hours on a hot summer day with no drinking water in the car.I always keep bottle in the car now!!!!
As a 5 year old child we had a shop with sweet jars like that . I wanted some sweets from the shop and stood on one of those jars to get up and it collapsed under my foot . The surgeon said another half inch I would have lost half my foot 😮luckily he was an amazing surgeon and stitched my little toe up 😊
I am 63yrs old andveverytime i have a clear up and sort out i come across a pink knitted bed jacket that my mother in law made for me when i gave birth to my first child back in 1983 x
Oh do you have the knitting pattern x
I am 63 and had my first child in 1983 too
Sean your one click plant will be absolutely stunning.i felt really sad at the death of Michael Moseley he seemed to be such a nice man.plus to he reversed his diabetes which I thought was fantastic! Positivity peace and love ♥️
Here in Sweden we are very sad over the tragic death of Michael Mosley, RIP ❤️. Your room looks sooo good now, well done! 👏🤗
I think you may have a shopping addiction lol 😂
"it's as if somebody is controlling it" ~ 😉 u got this
Oh Sean when you said ,can you see me mother ,I laughed out loud as my brother in Leeds used to say that often to our mum 😂😂
Thanks for including us in your room set up today. It is looking very nice. Love all the dark wood….looks so cozy and organized. Well done Sean. Maybe a collage of pics of your various gardens would be nice for that bare wall. A nice wall of memories for you. Love your Rusty. So lifelike. Such a special kitty! Definitely needs a place on your desk. 💕👍🏻🇨🇦
Moving rubbish around😆😆
A man after my own heart !!
Those jars take me back,my Nan used them to pickle her onions and cabbage for Christmas 😋
Great idea!
Always a pleasure to watch and listen to your chats in the morning😊 We moved back to our part of the world, the Fens, after living in New Zealand for a while. We bought our house a year ago and doing the same thing, moving 'stuff' around like a merry-go-round! Like yourself, like to buy the old vintage items for the home. So much history. Looking forward to Thursday😊
I moved into my house 15 years ago and I just (as in last week) found a box from when I moved. I opened it and found all sorts of interesting things! Haha!
😄, wow! 15 yrs, " too much stuff" according to George Carlin (American comedian)
@@shersmitt391 Haha! He's not wrong. 😄
I’ve got a blue soft jacket that I wear for work, the zipper is broken but it’s so comfortable. I’ve had it years,it’s been to America,Malaysia and I wore It on holidays. I even wore it over 21 years ago when I was pregnant 😂. I threw it in the bin and got it back out a few years ago and am still wearing it. It will be a sad day when I get rid of it. The room looks fantastic
Do you have Neem oil for sale in Wales for spraying that rose bush. We do in New Zealand. I put it over everything and it's also a tonic for sick plants. Works a treat. Diluted in a spray bottle or in a watering can. Doesn't hurt bees, butterflies or animals or us, just pesky bugs.
Good evening Sean, loving the lobelia on the ledge( just realised what a tongue twister that is 😂) and the Dianthus is a gorgeous peachy colour! You will have to stop spinning round in your kitchen, you are making me feel giddy laughing! 😂 The room is very you Sean, well put together.congrats on the half stone loss, you will soon be able to get back into that jacket,suits you sir! Take care Sean 💜
It was so sad to hear about the passing of Dr Michael Moseley I used to watch all of his programs and I have most of his books he was such a lovely man he is going to be sadly missed 🙏. And yes it's really cold this morning in Creunant it seems they are changing the addresses in Welsh which is good 👍. As you are sorting out your library I'm watching with a nice cup of tea ☕😁 . And I love the bits and bobs and the blue bowl looks very Greek . And it's good to know that your plants are well protected and it's good advertising .
Make a memory board for thing you like to display and a memory box for things you want to keep .That way everything is safe and tidy and easily accessible.
Good vid Sean but I prefer the furniture the other way round. The tall bookcase back where it was. Very entertaining 😅😂x
I would put the bookcase flat against the wall because if you put things on top they might fall down the back if it's on an angle. Looking forward to seeing the second living room sorted out. I have moved several times and pack things in boxes with labels so I know where to put them and in what room xx
Hi Sean, thanks for the name check - fame at last! 😅 You are most welcome! Incase anyone is wondering I'm Jane and Meg is my cat a sweet natured Tortie - rescue one too! Anyway, so pleased One Click Plants worked out for you - they are my go to for the last couple of years and always consistently well packed and good quality! I hope they gave you a good discount Sean for the promo! 😉 Take care.
Thank you for the suggestion Jane, I'll certainly be checking out one click plants now, I've had some shocking things sent to me ! I felt so sorry for the poor plants. Many thanks to you x
Thanks to your recommendation, and Sean's video today, I too have ordered plants from One Click Plants! xxx
@@mahala7867 Glad to have helped. 🙂
@@jillychandlerNo problem, I like to help others where I can. 🙂
Room looks great! Love the new flower, the color is beautiful.
Yes Sean triangle toast was posh lol, always got wrong for messing around with stripey door curtain of me mam 🤣, hope you have a lovely day x
I like the furniture that way round, however the bookcase at an angle takes a bit more space off the room, don't you think? When you were talking about the cat outside at the door, I thought you were going to say that it was one of yours and that the one on your chair was a different one that had run in and made itself at home!😅
😅
I always think furniture at an angle across the corner of a room takes up more space. Also there's a bigger gap behind the furniture which collects more dust & never gets cleaned as the furniture is too heavy to move😬 That's just my opinion though & so long as it's how he wants it, that's all that matters. I think frame your certificate & hang it on the wall.....like doctors & solicitors do😄 That would have been funny if someone else's cat was in the house😂😂 I used to have a young cat that used to come into my house & make itself at home, but my old cat didn't like it & used to hiss at it, poor thing. Mind you my old cat used to hiss at my ex too so it knew something wasn't right😂😂 Loved it when Sean said "I'll just get rid of this pot" then threw it in the corner🤣🤣 That's my kind of tidying up🤣🤣
Hi Sean, I like the way the bookshelf is now in place. Your decoration are so lovingly and little Rusty looks so real 🥰 Greetings from 🇩🇪
Wow, my mum had a copy of Mr Middleton’s Garden Book and in the early 80’s it inspired the name for my brother’s Cardiff based pop group - Mr Middleton’s Garden Band. Real blast from the past! Thanks for jogging the memory.
Hi Sean, glad to see that it's not just me that never throws things out, and just moves them around, I can never bring myself to throw out a book, that rose chandos beauty has a beautiful scent when it flowers, hope you can save it, I think it's an orangey colour, you can get them from Austen roses, love the vlog, I'm off for a nice cuppa tea, xx
I think you mentioned the Morse book a while back because I have it! I forgot I had it amongst all of my books and looked it up online only to have Amazon tell me I bought it back in 2023! I set it on the shelf next to the Rhondda Voices book I picked up a while ago.... I have a small shelf of books that were either written by friends or had family mentioned in them. Have never written anything myself, but have always wanted to try... Who knows!
Love your room layout. A picture on the wall behind would finish it off nicely.
I think you mentioned in your garden the lovely Aguilegia. I have always known them as "Granny's Bonnets".
Room looking great,I like the cabinet, done up a treat with the hat and bag,cat on top finishes it off,Ally
When you moved that bookshelf, I though Rusty should go on the top and hey presto! There he is!! You made me laugh with this one Sean, we have all moved stuff and spent half the time looking at the stuff we'd forgotten we had!!
A corner placement will collect dust and possibly be a trap for your cats behind
I would love to get pledge on all your beautiful dark wood furniture... love to polish...
Yes. Keep that phone close. I broke my hip 8 weeks ago. So you never know. Last winter I fell hard on the ice, and my phone went crazy. Asking if I need help. I think you need to have it turned on to work. Also I think I can ask Siri to call for help. Great features.
Get well soon
Study looks good Sean, great job.
Awww. There he is on top of the bookshelf!
Cmon Sean, it would take you 10 mins to tidy the right side of your back door 😂😂 ** casually throws a pot**. 😂😂. Xx
But when you film everything takes three times as long.
@@seanjamescameron that’s ok we don’t mind an extra 30mins from you 😂 😍 xx
@@XO.DianeKellyI loved it when he said "I just need to get rid of this pot" then threw it in the corner🤣🤣 My kind of tidying up🤣🤣 It'll get done when it gets done🤷♀️ All in good time 😄
I laughed out loud when the pot was thrown !
Me too on the pot throwing! Brilliant comedic timing Sean! 😅
I love the bookcase on an angle! It looks great and something I hadn’t considered before, but I think I am going to try the same at home. Thank you for the idea!
You could have a library wall Sean, another bookcase would fit at the side if all three were on the end wall. Got to put my oar in, I’m always moving things. My sons have said they are putting casters on my coffin😂
Rusty would look great on a shelf in the shed at the homestead. He could even sit outside on fine days.
Watch this space.
The cat ornament is lovely, very realistic
Well done for tackling the spare room ..its a job that gets put off ..looks a lot more organised now , so many usefull things uncovered 😊
Dear Sean, You know, I love these warm, chattery memory trips, while you putter around the cottage or the plot/homestead. It is like having a conversation with an old friend. Your study/den is taking on the character of a well loved work space that wraps around and keeps you cozy on a chilly day. Rusty seems quite at home on top of your bookcase! I also like your lovely blue mixing bowl and the other bits you have picked up. In fact, I have a similar enamel basin In my garden I use for rinsing vegetables before bringing them in to cook! but it serves equally for washing hands or giving a soiled apron a good soak! Have a good week!
I use the plastic strips every year ❤
I like the angle of your bookcase. It looks nice that way. I’ve always liked to angle furniture myself. Good job Sean! Enjoy!
the house looks very nice , and your little cat , the weather is the same here in Brynamman . hot , cold , chilly , then rain , it's being "made" according to your old friend , Richard Vobes and the people he has on his channel . i believe them 🙂
More likely the volcanic issues in Iceland this Spring. Same happened a little over 10 years ago when Reykjanes blew.
A lot of work ! Room looks good . Thanks for including us in the process of chaotic organising that we all find ourselves involved in from time to time!
Your room is starting to come together. Love the blue and white bowl. What a lovely colour your new plant is going to be.
I'm in the middle of a major declutter - selling off furniture I don't use to free up space and donating things to charity too. It's very cathartic 😊
I think it has been freezing lately all the vegetables in the garden have stalled had an air frost the other night that made my main crop potato leaves curl up
Ah, wow! Adam the Gardener, my Mam had a copy of that book!! Seen any Asian Hornets? Hwyl, Nige from P/C.
Hi sean love watching you putting the house together it's looking realy nice your doing a fantastic job ....
Yes your gardening journeys through the years. With old photos would be interesting. We could see how early you started an interest and the evolution over the years...Its so easy to get side tracked going through old boxes....the tweed jacket is a winner, very dapper....You crack me up " now am I gonna get stuck in the corner."
A feature of your early gardening days would be lovely to see Sean, nice idea . . So sad about Michael Moseley. I followed his TV shows always .It seems he died from natural causes, by what I read this morning, which seems a little kinder than falling down a steep bank, sad anyway ..Love your Dianthus, what a pretty colour . .Your room looks lovely and more organised now and all your items from Too good to waste will be most useful.. Chilly here this morning, hope it is warmer where you are . .Have a good day Sean . .
Looking dapper wearing your Harris tweed jacket Sean, it looks smart but also casual, suits you.
I have many boxes to go through for discard, including several in the attic that haven’t been opened in years.
Frankly Im overwhelmed but I can’t afford someone to help me discard at this time. “Do a little and do it often” is a familiar missive. No idea where I got it. ;-)
As for gardening I think my turnips are done as they are all browned and wilted. Here’s hoping I culled the seedlings enough but I’m not holding out hope.
And I’ve done poorly with my purple sweet potato slips. They arrived in a box and I failed to open them for a week. They are planted now but I doubt they’ll survive.
Live and learn. At least my semi-dwarf peach tree is finally showing buds and tiny leaves.
A Greek Coroner said, he just sat down and passed away. He was walking in 41 heat, double 41 add thirty for Celsius.
Natural causes.
That spirit if Christmas sounds good, im a December baby. Lovely video with your lovely welsh tones Dear Sean ❤
So sad about Michael Mosley, loved his books.
what I would like to know is - why does the stuff you unpack always take up more space than it does when packed? And why does it take so much longer to put back, than it does to take out?
Beautiful carnation variety looks terracotta vibe
Hi Sean , I nice old fashioned world map on the wall behind your desk would look BOOTIFULL
I have my Father`s copy of Mr Middleton.
You have a lovely study there now Sean to keep all the books in order, & with Rusty in charge to grace the library! a very homely snug for a gentleman to while away the hours!
A very large piece of artwork is required on the back wall... In bright, warm tones... Possibly cat orientated? Lol.. 😊
I just wanted to thank you for the heads up on the company One Click Plants, as I placed an order with them two days ago, they kept me up to date on when they would be arriving, and I received them today, beautifully packed, just as yours were, and I was very impressed by them, thank you. Blessings from Jilly & Madge, from a sunny West Devon, England. xxx
The picture of the woman with a hat on looking over her left shoulder. Simply stunning.
Another video I liked, you make watching your videos very pleasant. I could watch them all day.
You have made a good job with that room although I think I preferred the tall bookcase where it was before but not a criticism. In some ways you are a thrifty person i.e. that old jumper and in other ways not quite so. Thought it was going to turn into a comedy show again but you managed not to get stuck but it still made me laugh and that is what it is all about. Thank you Sean loved it.
Thank you Sean its lovely to see you getting your little cottage organised so it will give you more time on the homestead.xx
The colour of the dianthus looks stunning, going to seek that one out for myself. Room looks great
RIP Michael Moseley. You did a nice job organizing the room..
I think Rusty would look lovely on the desk watching over you!!
The color of your dianthus is so pretty and I love that blue and white bowl you bought. The room is shaping up nicely. Be well Sean.
I love you little office.
The rainbow fly screen does bring back the memories😅
Lovely channel. I really look forward to watching you just living your life so naturally. Keep them coming if you can.❤
Lamp goes well with the desk. 👍you should call that room Sean’s HQ. 😂👍❤️👍
Your room looks great. Love the blue bowl and soup dishes.
Hi Sean thanks another lovely chat and video.. your study looks great desk and book case green lamp... love it ..
The room looks great! But the picture is too small for the back wall
As usual you put out a wonderful video. It was nice to see your cat and I'm glad we got to see a few of your flowers outside your kitchen. I hope you can find time to show us your flowers up the steps soon. Take care and have a good week.
Can you see me mother getting tangled in the plastic 😅 great video sean i playing catch-up at the moment with your videos been so busy on my allotment building 5 raised beds a new shed roof and a rotten floor as a result of a leaking roof for 2 years. Well done for losing half a stone that lovely Richard tweed will soon fit. Rusty cat looks so realistic on your desk ❤. Did you ever manage to look at the Panasonic video player to see if it still works?. Think i may have to pop in to too good to waste when iback in Wales x
Haven’t had time yet.
Ok no worries
I have a room full of plastic boxes, full of things, but I do not have much room to go through them, like yourself. They are left over from house moves, and my 5 arts and crafts shops I have had in the past. I am gradually trying to sell things from them, as I desperately need the money now, and my local website is free, so a good place to try and sell things on. I have a small wardrobe at an angle in my bedroom, so I like the fact your book case is at an angle, I think it looks great. Love your Rusty cat ornament, you could have him outside in your garden - may frighten the other cats away! Thank you for making me laugh with your antics with the plastic curtain! You seem such a cheery chap! xxx
Me too. No time to sort now.
Frighten the cats away 😢 sometimes homeless hungry cats are drawn to houses with cats, we have a visitor, he's definitely feral, I love to give him a meal. 😊
@@teresamoore4126 I love cats, and think this is lovely that you would give the feral cat a meal. When my beautiful Mickey cat went over the rainbow Bridge, the cat who had been around for a few days in our garden, from the farm up the road, where he was not wanted, came right into our home, and we named him Frankie, and he was welcomed as our forever cat. I was only thinking that your beautiful black cats may not be very happy having other visitors? I am an animal lover. xxx
Pedantically your house is only at the head of one of the Rhondda Valleys !!!
Too much of a mouthful 🤣
Have you come across gaz Oakley channel started in cardiff now has his own homestead take a look I think you would like
Yes dipped in to him throughout the years.
I like your book shelf Sean. It reminds me of my bedroom archive, that used to be a chimney breast, and in which I built into. 👍👍
😢
Your study looks great thanks for the video and thanks for showing the plants.
I think you are doing a great job of making your cottage just perfect for you and I am truly enjoying the process! Carry on😊
Bread cut corner to corner was posh indeed. I was smetimes given tiny triangular sandwiches after illness when I had no appetite to encourage me to eat.
You must be Too Good To Wastes best customer!!😁
Hi Sean. Your study looks very nice very practical. Imo. You need some artwork on the wall behind you. What about the painting you done. ?? Have a nice day.😊
Are you still in your pajamas?🇿🇦🇿🇦💃🏻🌈
May have something to do with filming several videos on the same day. ;-)
Just being comfortable.
It's funny how angling the bookshelf exaggerates the optical perspective on camera.
Would love to see Topsy. 🌝
