My Average Day in the Outer Hebrides

My first 4K video! Although with some of the indoor lighting and soft focus you might not even notice ;)
00:00 - Introduction
00:26 - Morning Routine & Run
06:29 - Breakfast and rest of morning
10:55 - Lunch
13:21 - Afternoon Dog Walk on the Beach
16:22 - Rest of Afternoon and Dinner
20:40 - Evening and Bedtime
23:45 - Outro
Despite the glamour of travel vlogs, the reality of life at home is similar to many other jobs: Emails, planning, admin, meetings, book-keeping, and a ton of other day to day stuff.
I also aim to answer the question: 'What do people DO in the Outer Hebrides?' Spoiler alert - it's pretty much the same as people elsewhere.
There are also gratuitous dog and puppy shots. Because Dougal and because Ted ;)

    Many parallels with mine Andrew. Dividing my time up between some teaching work, a bit of physio, I'm 70 with a few old injuries haunting me, personal interests, domestic chores and quality time with my 16 year old black and white foxy who bears an uncanny resemblance to Dougal with flecks and spots but a little more black on him like Ted. He gets a run on the beach most days or up the river and along bush tracks. He pesters me if he thinks he might miss out. ( he never does.) The Outer Hebrides looks like a great place to live. Keep well.

    Thank you Andrew for making such a high quality and life affirming vlog. Came across this by pure accident and so glad I watched it. You have two amazing, healthy and happy dogs there, my own 6 year old Jack Russell (Harry) actually sat on my knee and watched it, we watch one video together a day, he kept looking at me, I know what he was thinking, 'that look's lovely....let's go!' Always intended to come up to Scotland for a few weeks when I retire (I work from home). I just want somewhere, perhaps a little cottage, where there will be plenty of chance to just walk, walk and walk.
