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.

Really enjoyed your video! Would love to get your recipes for pasta goo and your tea bread! I think I can rewind and get all the other nutritional additions you added to breakfast and snacks. Thank you again for sharing a normal day in your life! Oh, forgot the soup! Would love your recipe for your lentil soup!
Apart from living in a stunning location, I love how uncluttered your house is.

Can't get enough of Dougal & Ted, lovely dogs and so lucky to live by the sea and run free. What a beautiful place to live!!!
Thank you for sharing Andrew. I find your videos so calming and restful. You live in a beautiful place with your dogs and you are totally in charge of your life. May it continue my friend.

And no need for a hot water bottle , with Dougal on the bed😄……👍👌🐶👍🇮🇲
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.

THank you! I hope you get up here to at least visit soon.
Thanks for a look into your average day. As a recently retired person, I, too, relish all the days where I don’t have to set an alarm for the morning.
The dogs look in their element together on the beach Andrew - so nice to see
I can't start my work from home day without: 1)short workout; 2)short run; 3)17 yr old senior dog walk w tumbler of coffee/tea and a pocket full of poopie bags
Gosh I did enjoy that , nothing boring about your life Mr , D. , you're a busy man , keep off the statins, and B/P tablets , road to no town , great diet, I've just spent past few weeks getting off strong medication I've been on for 4 yrs for Polymyalgia, not easy but getting there , Morphine has been the worst !!! Great vlog , well done , great place to live and work , I was exhausted by lunchtime , great to be fit, and healthy , loved the suitcase train you had before , clever people ,very talented !! Hugs
Really nice area. A I get older I find I like crowded areas less and less...
Thank you for sharing a day in your life. Loved Dougal “The Blanket Monster” and Ted was so cute running back to you on the beach. Absolutely stunning scenery.
My little dog would love that beautiful beach and have a big smile on his face for sure! Thanks for the lovely calm routine day which i found so calming. My eldest brother died at 80 yrs this week sadly and never stopped moving ever so i am determined to enjoy relaxing fun times just enjoying simple pleasures rather than worrying about awful things like money and house reno. Have lovely day and really enjoyed this video!

Such a lovely life, long may you live it. Great to see Douglas in such great spirits, and Ted learning from him. They are adorable. God bless.
You live in such a beautiful place Andrew! I know your weather can be a little harsh (!!!) at times but my goodness it makes up for it on other days!
Thank you Andrew for this enchanting vlog. Your boys are living the best life!
Thanks Andrew, that was really good and interesting insight to your life. Although Dougal did look as though he almost smiled in the closing moments of the video😂. Best wishes Paul & Sarah
Splendid, thank you Andrew, Dougal and Ted. Fantastic scenery and lovely to see your normal idyllic every day life, enjoy, take care of yourselves xx
👍😁🥰🤩Thank you.
Happy to see your settled in Scotland in your lovely home...after those years of shift work you deserve it...would love to see how your day is when it's blowing a gale and raining buckets out side.♥️🇳🇿
Thanks for sharing your daily life. Nice to see your self care! It was fun to watch the pups romping on the beach. That Ted is growing!
Andrew, thank you for letting us have a glimpse into your life in Uist.
Hi Andrew, Always look forward to watching Your Videos!! so enjoyed spending the Day with You,Dougal & Ted. Wow!! I'd love to be at the Beach, were You live is so Stunning & Good for the Mind,Body & Soul!!! I'm going to try out the Porridge with Banana & Peanut Butter etc. It looked Lovely! Thank You for Sharing, Take Care, Lots of Love to You, Dougal & Ted. 💖💖💖💜💜💜 XXXX
Thoroughly enjoyed watching your day. Excitement is over rated, give me contentment any day.
A lovely day in your life, I think you sleep well because sweet Dougal is on your bed. My Coco sleeps on my bed and is a great comfort to me. Love to all 3 of you. ❤❤❤
I showed this to my mum just now as she said it was the best thing she’d seen on tv for a long time… even brought a tear to her eye watching the dogs at the end … 😌😊🐶
Apart from the wonderful beaches your typical day reassuringly sounds a lot like mine! Since I retired I find I still don’t have time to do all I’d like as domestic chores and gardening take most of my time. I don’t know how I survived when I worked 50 hours a week.
Thank you for sharing about your blood pressure. I’ve just been told I have an issue and I took a lot of comfort from your comments.
Really enjoyed the day in your life Andrew. Video camera work was brilliant! A peaceful and tranquil life for the 3 of you and very very cosy! Enjoyed every minute x

That was lovely, Andrew. My day is similar to yours. I don't have an alarm clock. I have a first mug of coffee and take it back to bed. I spend the morning on the computer. I cook from scratch. No dogs here, but four cats that need attention. Let me know the date you will be at NYM Railway, please. ilona
I’m coming to the Outer Hebrides for the first time on Tuesday - so, so excited.
Thanks my friend for sharing. This beach was stunning. Love to come back to the Uists hopefully next year. 👍
I’m impressed with how well Ted has learned to fit into your & Dougal’s life. And I’m so glad you’ve found a diet that helps you control your health issues, something I try to do each day as well. Look forward to each upload!
Thanks for that Andrew, as someone else has commented I'd like to see another one when the weather is a bit more wild! George S Yorkshire
Thank you for sharing this with us 😍 it is so much fun to see you and the boys

A very healthy life. You'll live forever ❤️ I see Ted has given Dougal a new lease of life. Great move getting the lad. Please demonstrate your tea bread - episode idea!

Fab! I wouldn't mind you teaching us how to make tea bread, also there is a family company in NI called British supplements, you might like to check them out. They have no 'nasties in' and I take their vit D with K2 supplement which is really good. Those dear dear dogs, such a blessing. Thanks for the video!

Absolutely great video Andrew - thanks for sharing. I love your dogs and your diet!
That looked like a perfect day. You’re clearly taking the time to look after yourself. Dougal and Ted are adorable, Ted is so cute. Thanks for sharing your day.
Thank you for the glimpse into your average day and for sharing some details regarding your health. I too struggle with high blood pressure and wish I had a beach like that outside my house. Your lifestyle is better than any prescribed medication. Good luck and I’m looking forward to more upcoming videos 👍
Thanks for the video. I've just moved to Jura with my little dog, your start to the day and routines are very smiler to mine. Beautiful Scotland.
This is the perfect dating advert if you were in the market for a partner. Guy seems super chill / laid back and a good cook 🔥
Very interesting to watch your day and greetings from Finland. Our dog Max - Jackrussell- looked a bit envious when your dogs ran on the beach😂
Lovely video Andrew, and lovely to see what you get up to on a day to day basis 🙂Ted is coming along brilliantly and awesome to see them both running around and getting on great with each other. By look of it you are living the dream, the area is just stunning, i could certainly life there, no question at all, in fact, might just pack up the van and come and visit 🙂 Take care mate and look forward to your future videos
