      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!

    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.

    Wonderful video! Love how the pups have such a supportive and loving home! Dougel (sp? ) looks as if he has much energy now and moves great! And Ted is really growing up and maturing! My blue healer suffered an intentional neurotoxin exposure, so her capacity to move was reduced. But she is slowly recovering. I tried many things but diet has made the most difference! I love diet as medicine! You have found a good place to thrive! Best to all of you including the sweet guardians (dogs) which travel your path with you!

      Forgot to mention- one very helpful addition to my pubs healing diet and my own, has been making a special wheatgrass juice. You can grow the wheatgrass in the kitchen. it’s beautiful. Then clip 2/3 cup, but in blender with 1/2 apple, and cover 2/3 with natural spring water. Blend, and push through a tea strainer to a tract the juice. I add some organic chicken or miso broth for my pup. And a tsp of organic coconut oil. She loves it. And it restores the mitochondria. So it is amazing. Energy abounds! For myself, I leave out the broth, and add a squeeze of lemon. tastes wonderful!

    Nice to sleep & rise in your own natural rhythm. Good to see the dogs running on the beach. Are they not supposed to wear a collar with contact details?

    Another superb relaxing video. It looks very isolated where you are and I'm sure the weather can be a lot worse than on the day you filmed. My wife and I have a static caravan in Cornwall as well as the Motorhome, since my early retirement I enjoy an equally relaxed lifestyle. I also have my three year old Labrador who I have been training as a working dog, not that we ever do any, but it does mean that I get much needed exercise and spend most days either on the coastal path or in the Cotswolds. The EV6 I ordered back in early February should be here in quarter 4, 2023 but I have asked for delivery in quarter 1/2024. Keep up the good work
