    I don't know what it is about you, but you're so refreshing to watch. Much more interesting than those influencers trying to pursuade you to buy loads of stuff you don't need.(Which I have been guilty of subscribing to). You are a great entertainer, and I loved your Wonder Woman impression the other day. I admire you for everything you're doing in your home, garden, and looking after your health. Just don't know how you find the time to film as well. 😱 Plus, the cheeky look in your eyes sometimes makes me chuckle. Have a booootiful weekend, Sean. I'm off now to the garden to continue building my raised vegetable bed, oh, and maybe paint the summerhouse too. Bye for now 🤣 ❤

    Skipping breakfast is part of intermittent fasting. It postpones your body dealing with food, and the chemical process inside is a good one. It does help to be able to walk that inspiring walk to the PO. All good.

    Love joining you for your walks by the river. So lush and very relaxing to stroll along with you. Sad that there is no bakery in your village. It would be so nice to have the smell of fresh baked good wafting along the street. I was wondering why there is no brown bread. Multigrain and brown whole wheat bread is so delicious. I guess it is not popular in your area. Have a great weekend. Here in the Vancouver area in BC Canada we are expecting some very heavy downpours . No need to water for the next few days. Good luck with your painting project. My Grandma’s was a soft green with white trim. Wish I had it. It even had a built in flour sifter.

    My colors after buying my home 24 yrs ago were Forest Green for the cabinets and white for the hinges and cupboard handles. the white with the rich dark green of the Forest Green paint is so nice. I love trees and the reason for buying this home was it had a attached garage and a beautiful Birchwood Tree in the back yard along with Cedar Trees, 4 to be exact. My love of trees goes back to my early years of 4 and onward for many decades, which for me is over 6 of them. I think you will love the results if those are what you chose for your cabinet. Love what you are filling your beautiful home with all of the special buys from the New to You store. Bravo on the move and your new life.

    I love your aesthetic regarding your vintage purchases. Your house garden is just brimming over with beauty and a sense of wild abundance. The backdrop of the stone steps and wall set off the plants beautifully. Glad you are biting the bullet and overcoming the frustrations of renewing your passport. Be glad you’re not trying to replace a UK passport from the United States. The rigmarole I have had to go through has been stupendously frustrating. I even had to get a friend to vouch for my “likeness” in the picture and vouch for the fact that who I said I was, I in fact was that person. The length of very personal details he had to include about himself including a colour copy of his own passport seemed invasive to me. But then again with heightened security necessary these days I do understand. Lesson learned - don’t lose your passport and renew prior to expiration. Phew! Hope this helps a UK citizen who lives overseas.

    Hi Sean from south central Texas. One observation about the grocery bags made from paper. I use to live in California where they banned paper bags. They are environmentally minded sometimes to extremes (banned plastic straws I forgot what sea creature was injured by it, oh my😂). Though in Texas they don’t have a ban on paper bags you can’t find one for love of money. Apparently you can build houses with wood but bags are a “huge” waste on resources…. The bags I did save have long since gone so seeing yours….on well.😢

Your wealth of garden knowledge is much appreciated. Be well from Oregon in the US.

    Ooh I’m so excited for your Martin Roberts interview, the man is a legend, I can’t wait for that.
    I’m so chuffed you are keeping that kitchenette & I think you’re right to change the colour to one that suits your little Welsh cottage.
    Anyone thinking of purchasing a property in Wales next to one of our many beautiful rivers should definitely get an insurance quote because the insurance may be more expensive than the mortgage itself. My friend in Llanrwst has sadly had to sell her beloved terraced cottage because she can no longer afford the extortionate cost of insuring it.
    I hope you’re having a lovely weekend, the sun is finally shining in the north 🌞
