Sean as someone who dropped 27 kilos and has kept it off for 15 years. My advice is to make a lifestyle change, not diet change. Cut our morning and afternoon tea and only eat when you’re hungry. I no longer eat lunch, only breaky and dinner. I do yoga which has helped immensely with back and neck pain and go for daily walks. Good luck!
I absolutely agree, a cup of tea and a biscuit with a friend should be enjoyed and not feel like a dieting failure. Keeping the day to day healthy is key, eat when hungry. Congratulations on maintaining weight loss all these years 😊
I lost 40 pounds so far. I’m diabetic and it was out of control. I just changed eating habits. I try and keep to a low carb diet.I eat when I’m hungry,usually breakfast and supper. And a snack in the evening. My diabetes is under control,in fact my A1c is 5.7. My blood pressure is low again. It didn’t happen overnight. My Dr advised a loss of two or three pounds a week. Some weeks there was no change,I just trudged along. You can do it! And you have a great area to walk in.
Hi Sean, I found that completely cutting out bread, potatoes, pasta and rice, avoiding anything ‘low fat’ (usually full of sugar) and basically eating as I did as a child, full-fat everything! - fat melted off and lost a stone in 4 weeks. Couldn’t believe it, at one point it was 1lb a day. Husband was the same. It wasn’t a long term thing but certainly helped me kickstart weight loss and re-educate myself, now cooking from scratch mainly now and avoiding starchy carbs. Appreciate it may not be for everyone but hope it helps.
After watching a Welshman unpack his grocery the next best thing is him opening his parcel haul. I’m pleased to hear that you popped in to spend time with community. It is so important to make the effort to invest in new and old friends. Take care. 🇦🇺
Haven’t seen a tea cosy in years. It’s all tea bag in the cup culture now My mam & dad always used one. Big tea drinkers Proper loose tea in a teapot used a tea strainer Your videos are amazing. You are such a natural presenter. Thank you for sharing your life in Wales with us 🤩
It's Boxing Day evening and I'm feeling a bit cheesed off (as my husband passed away on Boxing Day) not the best day of the year. I've been binge watching when you first moved, even though I've seen them as been following you and you know Sean it's really cheered me up !! Thanks Pal 😊 x
My diets usually involve only eating when I'm hungry. We're so programmed to eating at certain times, when most of the time we're not even hungry anyway!
Hi Sean I think your doing the right thing!I don’t think you have to be on any particular diet,as long has your not eating the wrong stuff!your breakfast looked healthy and nutritious.love your videos very relaxing.take care.
In my experience gas is far cheaper than electric, we have an electric fire with a living flame, we only use the fire for the living flame to add a bit of atmosphere in the lounge. For hot water and heating we use the central heating via a Combi boiler controlled via the hive. If you want to save money on electric for cooking invest in an air fryer. My breakfast consists of two large shredded wheat, table spoon of sugar and semi skimmed milk, plus mug of tea (Yorkshire). Lunch is a sandwich of buttered Nimble Danish malted bread, choice of fillings ham, chicken, beef, egg, cheese plus sliced tomato or cucumber and salad cream spread, or banana sandwich, packet plain crisps plus mug of tea. Mid afternoon mug of tea plus cake of some sort. Then in the evening home cooked dinner, normally consisting of meat & two or three veg, some times roasted plus another mug of tea. Before bed couple of slices of toast plus final mug of tea. I am 84 in 3 days and my weight very rarely goes above 12 stone. Think you need to eat regularly but with portion control.
Hello Sean, I had to laugh and say welcome to my world with the endless washing up 😂 I work as a dinner lady so I get it at home and work, your fire and chair are lovely, they fit the surroundings perfectly.glad you changed your profile picture to you and rusty,it's very sweet and a fitting tribute to him.have fun making your home more homely! 🤗💜
What a wonderful fire I use UA-cam to get a cosy fire & smooth jazz music Combo in my conservatory. Alas I only have radiators but a fire effect instantly warms us Absolutely love your fire. Great choice
As I was told I had diabetes last year, I went very low carbohydrate. Weight dropped off and I am now two stones lighter and feel much better so will carry on.
The cardboard boxes work good in the veggy garden to keep the weeds down between the rows and the worms love it...I put bark mulch over the cardboard and it makes clean walkjng without mud...the cardboard eventually breaks down again...but the tape is a bugger it does not decompose. I would sugest taking the time to peel it off and the staples out too. Love your videos thanks.
Weight loss doing low carb or Keto, whichever is more sustainable for your personal needs. It reversed my Type 2 Diabetes & have lost a significant amount of weight. It's a lifestyle, not a diet, whch is the best way for me to keep it going. Severely restricted diets set one up for failure. This is what worked for me & countless others. Whatever you do, I wish you every success 🌷
Hello Sean , what helps me lose weight is eating lots of veg and most important walking 1 hour a day . I hate all sports but love walking ...Restricted diets are difficult to sustain and one gets discouraged pretty fast I’d say ...
wanted to say too: don't do 'diets' but eat mostly vegetables, You can eat eggs, meat, dairy, whatever you like, but only a little bit of it. And walking, as you already do. And gardening 😊
The main aid to losing weight is to cut out processed foods, full of hidden sugar. I have taken to carnivore one meal a day naturally having progressed through vegetarian, keto, with fish and to full carnivore. My OH is still vegetarian with carbs, but we get along! He is now making his own bread but still has a weakness for biscuits and egg custard tarts!
Love that chair….the style and the colour are lovely. And a fireplace too. Your home is so cozy. The cats will definitely love curling up beside that heater. Lucky kitties. Now you need a comfy blanket to snuggle into when you are reading and having a cup of tea.
That is an amazing piece of kit for transferring the slides to digital and great quality and so easy to use, thank you!! The fire makes the room look really cosy Sean, enjoy!!
Hugs from Utah, thanks for sharing your day. Watching this video makes me feel like I’m eating my meal with a friend. I really appreciate it. Hope that you have a great day tomorrow, also thank you for posting the Victorian and wartime garden and kitchen videos, it was nice to have on in the background while I was tidying up my house today, the cleaning never seems to end.
You have to create some merchandise around our favourite phrases, “beautiful!” And “time for a cup of tea”. Mugs would be nice, maybe t shirts at some point.
Nice and cozy coming along, little table, standard lamp, better for reading, and a lovely pouf for tired legs..you'll have the perfect reading corner. Also, to combat the costs, nice cozy blanket, and obviously a drink ❤
Brilliant! My husband died 11 years ago. I have boxes and boxes of slides. We lived on and island thst became a national seashore. So, there are many thst need saving and passing on. It has been daunting, to think of sending off, etc. I will try to order one of these. Im so happy I’ve found your channel. I was a widow in my mid 40s and still trying to mange going through tik gs, while keeping the past. Im very much downsized and minimalism and … but still- life is a bit challenging. Thank your for sharing !
I'd love to hear you reading by the fire. Here are a few titles that might be out of copyright and possibly full text available online: Old Herbaceous: A Novel of the Garden by Reginald Arkell Elizabeth and Her German Garden by Elizabeth von Arnim The Secret Garden Novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett The Garden that I Love By Alfred Austin My Summer in a Garden By Charles Dudley Warner An Island Garden By Celia Thaxter Also, Welsh folk and fairy tales would be lovely to learn more about your country.
Keeping the doors closed will help with your heating costs. Check your contract, some state that you must keep the property above a certain temp to prevent mould and damage to the property. Some insurance policies too.
I suffered with a dicky tummy so I went on intermittent fasting. 12pm to 8pm eating window . You just miss breakfast. I thought it would be really hard but it's not and my tummy is back to normal 🙃
This has worked for me too. I fast for 12 hours. I’m an early riser so my eating time is 5am to 5pm. I really don’t consume anything early morning but my tea or coffee and maybe a piece of toast. Everyone has to find what works for them.
I thought I would miss breakfast but I don't.. I get up at 6.45 am I'm OK till 12pm sometimes longer and I'm surprised that I'm OK with 8pm finish too x
I like the idea of you relaxing by the fire Sean in your new cosy chair… and perhaps reading to us lot for half an hour. Hope you don’t mind me saying I’d listen to you read the phone book as you have such a lovely voice. Very comforting tone to your voice. I for one shall look forward to that if it does happen. How cosy your cottage has become now? A beautiful home indeed and I for one wish you lots of happiness there. I do hope we get a snippet of Topsy and Amber enjoying the fire too. Wishing you a wonderful weekend Sean from our home to yours. Time to put the kettle on ❤😊
@@mamamoomin very soothing. I think a nice cup of tea and listening to Sean read would be wonderful. I wonder if he would ever do audiobooks? Myself and hubby love this channel it’s so relaxing and so much entertainment. Lots of good things which I think we can all benefit from. It’s a safe place if that makes sense?
Once upon a time there was a cup of tea 😅. Congratulations! you're a very good narrator of your daily life which by the way is a very interesting one. Cheers.
Sean, I got some of those oil filled radiators that you plug in. Much better than turning on the gas central heating, that is so expensive these days. Thermal lined curtains. Also a heated throw/blanket that has been lovely during the cold spell.
I think you're right Waitrose food is superior and some things therefore are a little more expensive, but I have found some things cheaper overall I think the quality is better and its the old adage you get what you pay for. The foods from any shop has sell by dates so if you're shopping weekly monthly some things should go straight into freezer otherwise you end up eating too much to get it used up and that makes your food expensive. I love air fryers and have saved a fortune not putting on the big oven for every little thing. When I do use the big oven I make sure its full. Two meals a day is enough something like brunch and dinner.
Just like Christmas watching you undo all your boxes . .I love the chair and your fire, your scanner too... Your home is coming on very nicely . .Healthy breakfast as well.. Everything looks good . .So pleased for you .
Hello Sean, very exciting unwrapping the parcels, it must feel as though your home is really coming together now…. Time has really flown… your walks are so lovely. So glad you are beginning to feel settled. Xx❤
Hi Sean. I've been looking for a fire like yours, returned one as too small but rewatched this video and yours is the perfect size. I see it's warmlite but do you have the description or link please?
That room is going to be very cosy once you get all your furniture in place, it is lucky that its carpeted and all the walls looks good. The green chair is lovely nice to have a firm chair to sit upright. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sean, enjoying the videos as reminds me of my family roots down in Llanelli which is not too far away. Miss Wales. I’m doing Keto with the fast 5:2 diet and so far so good, not very hungry and no real cravings, but doing for health reasons. Love the chair colour, just painted our lounge that colour with a similar accent chair and it’s really cosy. Iechyd da x
Fancy that my eldest grandchild using a phone app just copies most of my slides for me. Our eldest son’s photos were nearly all on slides and it is wonderful to now have photos I can look at and send him.
Watching you settle in and furnishing your new home and share in your adventures is so incredibly interesting & inspiring. I’m always looking forward to your next chapter. Thanks Sean 🤩
Sean, I forgot to mention that a doctor told me years ago, to have your last meal or food intake 3 hours before retiring to bed. First, what you have eaten will be digested and less chance if it turning into fat and your body will get more rest. It also helps with sleep apnea.
Hi Sean, A trick I use to keep my weight in check is that I don’t eat off of dinner plates but on sandwich/salad size plates. This way I don’t overload on the portions and it fools my mind that I’m eating a “full” plate of food. For me, it is the quantity of food intake that I keep in mind. I also have a regiment of walking 2-3 miles everyday. On another note , I’m interested in knowing if where you live there is access to antique shops or second hand furniture stores. I find buying antiques and well made furniture is not only less expensive but it will last a life time. I was thinking a Welsh cupboard would be lovely for your living room area! BTW, I love the green chair! Have a wonderful day and give the fur babies a kiss for me!
Hi Sean, imho gas is a much cheaper way of heating. If you are going to turn off the central heating it might be a good idea to check on your contract incase there is a minimum temperature that you have to keep. I'm thinking of cold weather frost and ice and the potential for burst pipes. Love the heater that you have brought, very cosy. Sally
I found a slide viewer which had a battery operated light. I then took a photo of the image using my smart phone and hey presto it worked. I had a digital image of the slide almost as good as the original slide. By the way, your two pasties wont help with your diet !
Yhe warm space initiative is brilliant for the community. As I have said before that in wales its amazing the amount that goes on in the community. Lovely fire
What a lovely cosy home you are making :) between having the slow cooker doing dinner, ready for when you get in, the electric fire & an electric blanket, you'll be well cosy :) Thermal blinds & curtsined helped alot in my house, eventually I saved up & replaced the windows & doors. A simple draught excluder for the bathroom saw a huge improvement, for almost no cost. (I made it from upcycled items).
Deae Sean I am at 75 at the weight i wanted to be for many years. My doctor told me that if I continue the way I'm going that I will have a stroke within the next 10 years. I did not want to add blood thinner to my already established menue of medications. Asking my doctor how I can chane my condition she said that I needed to change my diet and lose about 40 to 50 lbs. Well I looked on line on how to chane at 68 the way I live - I found intermitten fasting and gave it a try - anything is tough but if you give it about 3 weeks, you should be ok - by age 70 I have lost 70 lbs and have no desire to go back to where I was. I also stay active - It can be done 👍and it is a life style
Sean you need a fire surround to finish it off. I got mine from Facebook marketplace for next to nothing! Failing that maybe just a chunky shelf to make a mantel maybe?
I adore the little heater you bought. We have a smaller room off the main living room that doesn't heat as well. We live in Michigan USA and winters can get pretty cold. I see one of these in my future.😊
Great stuff, Sean. Today's breakfast for me was hash brown potatoes, egg, chicken breast, spinach. In proportions that amount to 250 calories, 34grams protein. Really a good one I have frequently but always made by careful weights and measures. Amazon! What a friend. Always almost there when you need them, haha. I do like that they update, even if it's somewhat maddening at times. The lack of bubbles is likely variation in water hardness between London and Wales. You can hardly get a bubble from hard water. Something you might look into or attempt to remedy with a water softening system or powder.
Bore da Sean. I live on the welsh border in Ludlow so we often hop over into Powys or over to Aberdyfi. Love the warmth and humour of the Welsh. Enjoying your channel.
I have been roasting my veggies, and meat. You cut up a variety: potatoes, squash, beets,carrots, zucchini, etc. Meat of choice cut up , saute the meat first, toss veggies in olive oil and seasonings of choice add the meat and bake 35 min thereabouts at 400 F. Also turmeric milk at bedtime is supposed to provide health benefits as well. So many recipes on line. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦
All coming together in the cunning plan. Love the chair . Heater fireplace looked good too. And the device for your slide pictures will give you a lot of enjoyment in discovering the past. I was very taken by the butcher shouting out the door,hot pasties just out the oven- and they looked good. In advance,welcome to the 50s club . 👌👌👍 Hope the cats are doing good 😻
Good to see you settling in, Sean, I really like that chair. 🙂 Might I suggest a reading of Kenneth Grahame's "Wind in the Willows"? It's in the public domain and I think your voice would present it beautifully!
Hi Sean, gas is cheaper than electricity in the UK. It might be cheaper for you to only heat the rooms you are in, but beyond a few rooms, the gas central heating will be cheaper.
The handiest tool when doing diy is the tongue , don't you find it helps. like that chair where'd you come across that please. We pleased to see you settling in nicely. All the best Gary n Irene
Hi Sean, sicking out the tongue and moving it side to side in concentration was something my Dad used to do! I can picture in my mind him doing it whilst reversing the car out of the garage!! I too have 2 carousels of slides that we were thinking of sending away to be dealt with but your new device seems easy enough for us to master. Neither of us finds new technology easy to deal with and instruction manuals are a nightmare. Good luck with your healthy eating because at the end of the day it's not really a diet, it's how you should strive to eat all the time .
Hi Sean First of all I wish you good health and happiness in your new home the chair is just perfect for reading and story telling your home looks really cosy and welcoming enjoy it all with best wishes Sadie x
I have a chair that looks similar to yours and my cat has used it as an alternative scratching post when she gets bored with hers.... 😣 Hope your cats behave and understand the treats are only for GOOD cats!
Lovely episode and great to see your home coming along nicely. Oh, by the way, I thought some of the comments were a bit unhelpful or rude, so just ignore them and do your own thing. Take care. Bye for now.
Hello Sean, could you read the tails of brear 🐰 rabbit. I loved them. Esops tales or remember tales from Europe, the singing ringing tre, that sort of thing x thank you ❤
I find staying away from processed foods is helpful. I eat whatever I want but I rarely eat as much as I want. I’m getting close to retirement age so I gain and lose easier than I used to. My weight varies from being 4 lbs under to 4 lbs over my ideal weight. It helps me to have a target- then I know whether or not to eat more or less. After supper eating can be my downfall if my weight is a little too high. I can’t give up bread, potatoes,etc. I like everything so denying certain food groups does not work for me. I am an equal opportunity eater!
I watch some simple living/slow living videos. What I have realized is that you are showing how to live in the moment, to take it easy. You don't have to say it, you just do it. I need to start practing this. The pasties look delicious.
Sean as someone who dropped 27 kilos and has kept it off for 15 years. My advice is to make a lifestyle change, not diet change. Cut our morning and afternoon tea and only eat when you’re hungry. I no longer eat lunch, only breaky and dinner. I do yoga which has helped immensely with back and neck pain and go for daily walks. Good luck!

As I was told I had diabetes last year, I went very low carbohydrate. Weight dropped off and I am now two stones lighter and feel much better so will carry on.
Low carb is the best - I lost so much weight so quickly my GP insisted on testing for cancer! Of course I was fine.
That’s what I did,low carb. Lost 40 pounds.
The cardboard boxes work good in the veggy garden to keep the weeds down between the rows and the worms love it...I put bark mulch over the cardboard and it makes clean walkjng without mud...the cardboard eventually breaks down again...but the tape is a bugger it does not decompose.

You need a footstool to go with your chair. You can get one with storage, the you will k ow where your reading glasses are. 😊
Great idea
Love that chair….the style and the colour are lovely. And a fireplace too. Your home is so cozy. The cats will definitely love curling up beside that heater. Lucky kitties. Now you need a comfy blanket to snuggle into when you are reading and having a cup of tea.
What a lovely addition to your home. A nice chair, fire and treats for the Cats. Enjoy memory lane with your slides. And a fresh pasty.
That is an amazing piece of kit for transferring the slides to digital and great quality and so easy to use, thank you!! The fire makes the room look really cosy Sean, enjoy!!
Hugs from Utah, thanks for sharing your day. Watching this video makes me feel like I’m eating my meal with a friend. I really appreciate it.

Brilliant! My husband died 11 years ago. I have boxes and boxes of slides. We lived on and island thst became a national seashore. So, there are many thst need saving and passing on. It has been daunting, to think of sending off, etc. I will try to order one of these.
Im so happy I’ve found your channel.
I was a widow in my mid 40s and still trying to mange going through tik gs, while keeping the past.
Im very much downsized and minimalism and … but still- life is a bit challenging. Thank your for sharing !
It’s certainly a pleasant thing to do of an evening to go through old slides.
I'd love to hear you reading by the fire. Here are a few titles that might be out of copyright and possibly full text available online:
Old Herbaceous: A Novel of the Garden by Reginald Arkell
Elizabeth and Her German Garden by Elizabeth von Arnim
The Secret Garden Novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett
The Garden that I Love By Alfred Austin
My Summer in a Garden By Charles Dudley Warner
An Island Garden By Celia Thaxter
Also, Welsh folk and fairy tales would be lovely to learn more about your country.
Keeping the doors closed will help with your heating costs.
Check your contract, some state that you must keep the property above a certain temp to prevent mould and damage to the property. Some insurance policies too.
I suffered with a dicky tummy so I went on intermittent fasting. 12pm to 8pm eating window . You just miss breakfast. I thought it would be really hard but it's not and my tummy is back to normal 🙃

Totally agree. My friend asked me who I was listening to. She said 'what a lovely voice he has' 😊
@@mamamoomin very soothing. I think a nice cup of tea and listening to Sean read would be wonderful. I wonder if he would ever do audiobooks? Myself and hubby love this channel it’s so relaxing and so much entertainment. Lots of good things which I think we can all benefit from. It’s a safe place if that makes sense?
Try reading the Directory of Huntingdonshre Cabmen.
You don't bore me at all, I could listen to you all day long.
So could I, Sean has a very soothing calm voice.
I have the same fire, I find it far more expensive to run compared with my gas CH
The arm chair and fire are Lovely Glad i came across your videos
Once upon a time there was a cup of tea 😅. Congratulations! you're a very good narrator of your daily life which by the way is a very interesting one. Cheers.
I love it. Never seen a chair that you can put together like that!😅
Enjoyed seeing you open all your parcels, lovely chair and heater...... all you need now is a footstool😊
Sean, I got some of those oil filled radiators that you plug in. Much better than turning on the gas central heating, that is so expensive these days. Thermal lined curtains. Also a heated throw/blanket that has been lovely during the cold spell.
Story time sounds like a great idea , Welsh mythology and folk stories would be free of any copyright issues.
Good thing you had your tongue with you today, as you assembled the chair! That was touch and go! ♥️😂😂😂😂♥️
Sean
I love your new picture with Rusty!!!!
Great breakfast to start your day.

The fire looks so cosy.
Loved watching you unpack your new life. As for the photos I can look at other people's photos all day long
Hi Sean. I've been looking for a fire like yours, returned one as too small but rewatched this video and yours is the perfect size. I see it's warmlite but do you have the description or link please?
Sounds like you were in synch with the universe that morning! Everything good just fell into place!

Thanks for the video. Love the new chair - lovely colour, and the little fire is great. Perfect ambiance.
Hi Sean, enjoying the videos as reminds me of my family roots down in Llanelli which is not too far away. Miss Wales. I’m doing Keto with the fast 5:2 diet and so far so good, not very hungry and no real cravings, but doing for health reasons. Love the chair colour, just painted our lounge that colour with a similar accent chair and it’s really cosy. Iechyd da x
As I’m all electric Sean I thought electric was more expensive, but I also purchased 2 small fan heaters one for up one for down x
Fancy that my eldest grandchild using a phone app just copies most of my slides for me. Our eldest son’s photos were nearly all on slides and it is wonderful to now have photos I can look at and send him.
Watching you settle in and furnishing your new home and share in your adventures is so incredibly interesting & inspiring. I’m always looking forward to your next chapter. Thanks Sean 🤩
Sean, I forgot to mention that a doctor told me years ago, to have your last meal or food intake 3 hours before retiring to bed. First, what you have eaten will be digested and less chance if it turning into fat and your body will get more rest. It also helps with sleep apnea.
My physician recently discussed the Mediterranean Diet with me, I am a nurse, and he lost 100 lbs! Amazing!
Hi Sean, A trick I use to keep my weight in check is that I don’t eat off of dinner plates but on sandwich/salad size plates. This way I don’t overload on the portions and it fools my mind that I’m eating a “full” plate of food. For me, it is the quantity of food intake that I keep in mind. I also have a regiment of walking 2-3 miles everyday. On another note , I’m interested in knowing if where you live there is access to antique shops or second hand furniture stores. I find buying antiques and well made furniture is not only less expensive but it will last a life time. I was thinking a Welsh cupboard would be lovely for your living room area! BTW, I love the green chair! Have a wonderful day and give the fur babies a kiss for me!
Hi Sean, imho gas is a much cheaper way of heating. If you are going to turn off the central heating it might be a good idea to check on your contract incase there is a minimum temperature that you have to keep. I'm thinking of cold weather frost and ice and the potential for burst pipes. Love the heater that you have brought, very cosy. Sally
Good that it's all coming together for you.
I found a slide viewer which had a battery operated light. I then took a photo of the image using my smart phone and hey presto it worked. I had a digital image of the slide almost as good as the original slide.
By the way, your two pasties wont help with your diet !
I think they call it mindful eating now :-) well done on your lifestyle change, it certainly seems like you have made the right decision .
Yhe warm space initiative is brilliant for the community. As I have said before that in wales its amazing the amount that goes on in the community. Lovely fire
Nice on the pictures! I learned something today thank you. Oh i have two of those heaters!
What a lovely cosy home you are making :) between having the slow cooker doing dinner, ready for when you get in, the electric fire & an electric blanket, you'll be well cosy :)
Thermal blinds & curtsined helped alot in my house, eventually I saved up & replaced the windows & doors. A simple draught excluder for the bathroom saw a huge improvement, for almost no cost. (I made it from upcycled items).
Deae Sean I am at 75 at the weight i wanted to be for many years. My doctor told me that if I continue the way I'm going that I will have a stroke within the next 10 years. I did not want to add blood thinner to my already established menue of medications. Asking my doctor how I can chane my condition she said that I needed to change my diet and lose about 40 to 50 lbs. Well I looked on line on how to chane at 68 the way I live - I found intermitten fasting and gave it a try - anything is tough but if you give it about 3 weeks, you should be ok - by age 70 I have lost 70 lbs and have no desire to go back to where I was. I also stay active - It can be done 👍and it is a life style
What times do you do IF from/to?
Sean you need a fire surround to finish it off. I got mine from Facebook marketplace for next to nothing! Failing that maybe just a chunky shelf to make a mantel maybe?
I adore the little heater you bought. We have a smaller room off the main living room that doesn't heat as well. We live in Michigan USA and winters can get pretty cold. I see one of these in my future.😊
Ohhh I love the little fire heater & your chair is very nice.
Great stuff, Sean.
Today's breakfast for me was hash brown potatoes, egg, chicken breast, spinach. In proportions that amount to 250 calories, 34grams protein. Really a good one I have frequently but always made by careful weights and measures.
Amazon! What a friend. Always almost there when you need them, haha. I do like that they update, even if it's somewhat maddening at times.
The lack of bubbles is likely variation in water hardness between London and Wales. You can hardly get a bubble from hard water. Something you might look into or attempt to remedy with a water softening system or powder.
Don’t turn off the central heating just keep the thermostat set to around 15 or 16 degrees.
Yes that’s what I meant.
So pleased I found your channel! Have a great w/e Sean ☕️
Welcome.
Looking really cosy! All you need is a nice cuppa tea!!
Bore da Sean. I live on the welsh border in Ludlow so we often hop over into Powys or over to Aberdyfi. Love the warmth and humour of the Welsh. Enjoying your channel.
I have been roasting my veggies, and meat. You cut up a variety: potatoes, squash, beets,carrots, zucchini, etc. Meat of choice cut up , saute the meat first, toss veggies in olive oil and seasonings of choice add the meat and bake 35 min thereabouts at 400 F. Also turmeric milk at bedtime is supposed to provide health benefits as well. So many recipes on line. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦
I would love to see your old films and photos with commentary. It would be very interesting. Especially the ones from Wales.
All coming together in the cunning plan. Love the chair .
Heater fireplace looked good too. And the device for your slide pictures will give you a lot of enjoyment in discovering the past. I was very taken by the butcher shouting out the door,hot pasties just out the oven- and they looked good. In advance,welcome to the 50s club . 👌👌👍
Hope the cats are doing good 😻
Good to see you settling in, Sean, I really like that chair. 🙂
Might I suggest a reading of Kenneth Grahame's "Wind in the Willows"? It's in the public domain and I think your voice would present it beautifully!
I love how you think of your cats ❤❤
Hi Sean. Try reversing the cushion and the hard board. You should be sitting on the cushion.
Your chair is gorgeous, looks lovely by the fire. A lovely place to read books! 😊
Lovely I want get one of them there heaters now for my front room . 😊❤️ .
For diet I highly recommend the book “Finding Ultra” by Rich Roll. It talks about the relationship between diet, exercise, and weight loss.
Good morning Dear Sean, lovely fire, I think I need one too, thank you for sharing ❤️
Hi Sean, gas is cheaper than electricity in the UK. It might be cheaper for you to only heat the rooms you are in, but beyond a few rooms, the gas central heating will be cheaper.
Must be something wrong because it says £15 electric and £95 gas.
@@seanjamescameron Do you have a smart meter, or manual read? And have you provided actual readings? Check if they are actual or estimated.
@@hitchjack Smart so it should be right.
The handiest tool when doing diy is the tongue , don't you find it helps. like that chair where'd you come across that please. We pleased to see you settling in nicely. All the best Gary n Irene
Indeed bootiful, Sean....
A storytelling chair 📚 beautiful 😊
Hi Sean, sicking out the tongue and moving it side to side in concentration was something my Dad used to do! I can picture in my mind him doing it whilst reversing the car out of the garage!! I too have 2 carousels of slides that we were thinking of sending away to be dealt with but your new device seems easy enough for us to master. Neither of us finds new technology easy to deal with and instruction manuals are a nightmare. Good luck with your healthy eating because at the end of the day it's not really a diet, it's how you should strive to eat all the time .
Hi Sean
First of all I wish you good health and happiness in your new home the chair is just perfect for reading and story telling your home looks really cosy and welcoming enjoy it all with best wishes Sadie x
The british heart furniture charrity shop in the arcade by iceland in Bridgend is very good for stuff and cheep, and the deliver
Normally don’t enjoy blogs like this Sean but must admit I’ve found myself waiting for yours to come on!
I have a chair that looks similar to yours and my cat has used it as an alternative scratching post when she gets bored with hers.... 😣 Hope your cats behave and understand the treats are only for GOOD cats!
Love your new chair Sean - it’s gorgeous!! Really enjoying your fantastic videos! Xx
Lovely episode and great to see your home coming along nicely. Oh, by the way, I thought some of the comments were a bit unhelpful or rude, so just ignore them and do your own thing. Take care. Bye for now.
What a great way to relax while I'm eating my Saturday brunch .. thankyou for another wholesome video Sean 😊👋🏻
Lovely chair Sean😊
Hello Sean, could you read the tails of brear 🐰 rabbit. I loved them. Esops tales or remember tales from Europe, the singing ringing tre, that sort of thing x thank you ❤
Great to see your home taking shape, love the chair and the fire
I like your chair
I find staying away from processed foods is helpful. I eat whatever I want but I rarely eat as much as I want. I’m getting close to retirement age so I gain and lose easier than I used to. My weight varies from being 4 lbs under to 4 lbs over my ideal weight. It helps me to have a target- then I know whether or not to eat more or less. After supper eating can be my downfall if my weight is a little too high. I can’t give up bread, potatoes,etc. I like everything so denying certain food groups does not work for me. I am an equal opportunity eater!
Very nice fireplace and nice chair very warm good photo slides great to see it
The chair looks absolutely comfortable.😊
I watch some simple living/slow living videos. What I have realized is that you are showing how to live in the moment, to take it easy. You don't have to say it, you just do it. I need to start practing this. The pasties look delicious.
