    Nice to.look around your old allotment many happy times there. Good to see Rusty came to say his goodbyes to you..What a beautiful cat may there be long happy memories of him. You still honour him in your Homestead which is lovely.❤

    I'm glad Rusty has a good family there, but you (and we) will miss seeing him terribly. Leaving a place is hard, even if you're pretty sure it is a good move, Sean. This is a big deal for you and for us, Sean. But soon you'll be popping up the other end of the tunnel.

    So sad saying farewell to our sweet little Rusty! Going to miss that handsome boy. I've followed you for 10 1/2 years now and have loved seeing that little chap. He's one of the reasons I've always loved rewatching your older Rusty Allotment episodes. Thank you for this last little walk around the allotment. Those final shots brought me to tears. I'm going to miss that sweet kitty cat!

    And I’m a dog lover .

    Catching up on your video and just finished watching this one ❤
    We tend to forget we are souls, as well as physical bodies carrying earthly emotions. This here is a prime example of souls meeting again in this lifetime - Rusty and you, Sean, and once the meet up has 'matured' (i.e. being next to each other helping each other through hurdles life throws into our direction), then souls depart willingly, until they agree to meet up again... Do not be suprised if a ginger cat shows up on your new homestead, once you have started putting the shed up and the fence with The Rusty Homestead plaque...

    Well that was a tough one. I'm too much of a crazy cat dad I guess! My oldest, that I have had for a while now (adopted from a local shelter 9 years or so back) is named Misty and she is 18 as well. Just had to deal with a minor UTI and had her checked out. She's healthy, if not tiny now in her old age, and apparently starting to develop cataracts. Such a loving little lap cat. My other 2 are both sisters from the same litter and are 4 years old now as I picked them up as kittens. I think he knows something is up as they have a keen sense of change but regardless glad you were able to say goodbye to the old boy. It's never easy, especially for us pet pushovers but glad you will be getting some updates.

    Watched this last night and was in floods of tears again. Rusty was adorable and you can see how much he loved you and you loved him. He reminds me of my old Ginger cat Jason (J) from when i was young. I'm still struggling with the loss of my furry friend, Prinny. I hope i see her and all my little friends again in the next life 🙂

    Loved hearing about the history of the allotments all the people you shared so much gardening fun with and finally seeing dear Rusty was a treat as he walk along following you and having the last cuddle. I think having an animal in the video really makes it special. Thankyou Sean I look forward to your next allotment plot. Hope you settle well and happy.

    Thank You, so much for sharing. I've not been able for over a year now, to join you on your adventures, due to no internet. You were walking the London loop and showing flamingos and had been talking of perhaps moving to Wales. So now that I'm back, your leaving and I will join you on your adventures. I will miss Rusty also. On December 26, Boxing Day, I was born, just had my 72th birthday.
    I wish you only the BEST! I will be joining you, as long as I am able. Thank You, Again and Again, for your peaceful walks and talks. You are a blessing, to many of us.

    I'm in the process of moving, too. I have a whole house to sort out, on my own. Most of my furniture, etc is going to an organisation, which helps homeless people move into new homes, because I have no use for it all, at my new place. It's an absolute nightmare and I can't wait for it to be done. Hope your move goes well, Sean.

    Hi Sean I hope your Christmas is enjoyable, you seem a little tired and Bored about London, like me facing into work and am other year of work I am questioning how to find enjoyment balance in a work situation too. And funny enough I have been working almost 20 years too. Like you staying in London 20 years. You might catch up with Tamara once you are back in Wales you might join a Welsh choir too. If you are in Wales would you be able to visit Shrewsbury sometime from Wales. Thanks for all your gardening videos and information I really hope you stay well and keep healthy with your fitness plan.

    @josevilla8648 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Bit of a lump in my throat Sean, always hard saying goodbye to animals, people and places that have been so much part of your life. At least you know Rusty is in safe hands. I am fairly sure you will be adopted again, cats especially seem to have a fine sense in working out who the good humans are. Best of luck for the move ahead, exciting times, even if you look back now with a bit of sadness to be leaving after 20 years.

    Your new life awaits you and will give you a new zest for life in no time.
