A slow summer week in Scotland

[@cuppajavaplease]

I love slow living. When I see you and Skye, I realize it's truly possible to be happy with the simple, beautiful things of life. You are an inspiration.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Aw thanks so much for your kind words :)

[@TeresaGuest-dd2oy]

I am an avid follower and your notion diary is great for my planning, but also for my mental well being. It keeps me focused but allows me to pace myself which may be odd as I am a retiree. As a young woman, your ethos of slow living and mindset would have been a godsend to me in the hectic and cut throat corporate world. You are an inspiration!

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Aw thank you lovely! I'm so glad you've found value in my Notion planners. I've found them to be a gamechanger myself!

[@archiediggins641]

This has to be one of your most natural vlogs ever. You seemed very happy and relaxed.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you, I enjoyed shooting a more 'raw' vlog

[@Caz-Cymru]

Richard Osman's books are The Best! Only problem is I read them too quickly!! You've got the first one 😊

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Oh good, thank you!

[@joysedgwick812]

@@hippyhighlandlivingI’m hoping you enjoy Richard Osman, I am an odd one….just can't get along with his books, but most of my friends love them.

[@AlisonGreenValleyCrone]

Love the man’s shirt outfit. I’ve had quite a few pieces of men’s clothes from charity shops, they always seem more substantial and well made than women’s clothes.

[@puddle5]

I didn't like the colours of the shirt, but perhaps it was the camera.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

I agree!

[@elizabethwilson1357]

Hi Molly, another lovely vlog! I really look forward to your weekly catch-up, it seems like a real treat to watch on a Sunday evening as a distraction from thinking about my upcoming week of work! Love the shirt it really suits you, and Richard Osman books are fab! Looking forward to next week already 🥰x

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thanks so much lovely! I really enjoyed filming this one :)

[@kathrynb3718]

Thank you and pretty Skye for a wonderful video and bringing calm to my day 🐾 🌳 💧 looked like your girlie wanted to share your tea 😅

[@greylilycalligraphy]

We have very different ideas of out of control, lol- I come home with about 5 large bags when I go to shops (boutiques) like that 😅

[@kristinbenini7967]

Love love love Richard Osman’s books!

[@charlotnvt8046]

I follow you for some time now and became a regular watcher en reader over time. You really inspired me on living slow and sustainable, especially on consuming stuff. I'm really trying to shop less and less and my goal is to have a small capsule wardrobe like you have full of sustainable brands. I'm not as far, because to be honest it is very hard when you live in a world which is focused in capitalism and you see stuff everywhere all the time. I'm coming there slowly, taking it step by step! But you have been such an amazing inspiration and supporter in this journey. I'm going to enjoy your videos as long as possible in the future, thank you for all the beautiful and inspiring content you share with us. ❤

[@chattingwithu]

Greetings from the state of Tennessee in the US! I really enjoy your channel and all the things you share from your gardening to the books you enjoy, your shopping hauls and I especially like when you take us on your trips into town or wherever you may take walks! Your channel is a wonderful reminder of how the daily things in life we do can bring much joy and inspiration. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you so much lovely! I'm really glad you enjoy my videos :)

[@sandrasmith5943]

Love this vlog. Your shirt is lovely. I really look forward to seeing you each week. Thanks Molly and Skye xx🐶💖

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you lovely! :)

[@GemmaCreegan-tp4dk]

Always enjoy your calming vlogs on my Mon morning, a great start to the week. I have been wanting to read Richard Osman so look forward to hearing what you think. Inspired to try making that bean stew as looks easy to make😊

[@hippyhighlandliving]

It is a lovely simple stew :)

[@hypo-87]

Wow your living my future now, this is my dream to live up the Highlands I hate city life I like my own space I want to save up as much money as I can for the next few years then move up the Highlands the place is paradise to me.

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Another fantastic slow week in the life of Molly vlog and good selection of healthy vegan food. Always enjoy seeing Molly and Skye walking in their part of beautiful Scotland. Love 🥰 the vlog and love 💕 Molly.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@AmySmith-hh5yn]

Lovely video. It had all of my favorite bits (grocery shopping, book and artisan shopping, cooking and a beautiful walk in the highlands).

[@hippyhighlandliving]

I'm so glad you enjoyed!

[@Tabata774]

Another delightful vlog. You were very lucky to find those books. Your pace of life, slow but full of activity, gives me a lot of pleasure.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

I was! I'm glad you enjoyed :)

[@richardchapman3389]

I SEE THAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TREE IN THE VIDEO,S SMILE 😂

Thank you for showing us more of Scotland. Lovely!

Hi Molly thanks for this wonderful slow living video l love watching your videos there so inspiring all the time an they make me feel good about myself as l have had afew strees issues lately that book what she saw lastnight is my next read 📚 lm currently reading Practical mindfulness by kim Davis its not really a novel more on how to be or react,its not bad a friend past it down to me, Have a fantastic week Molly and Skye 😊❤❤❤❤

[@josephinerunci6052]

Such a nice vlog! Your week seemed so relaxing and I really like the tiny towns you show in your videos with their shops and cafes. I do like when you thrift shop too.(btw the plaid shirt was a really good purchase and really suits you). Walks and nature are the best sources of inspiration for creativity and a way to clear mind and connect with your deepest self. Thanx for sharing!

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Aw I'm so glad you enjoyed! And yes walking in nature is a wonderful tonic :)

[@allyw6604]

Thanks for the lovely vlog Molly! Enjoyed your nature walk, I haven't had much time to get out in nature recently, so this was very therapeutic. Also Skye is just adorable ❤

[@hippyhighlandliving]

It was a lovely day for a ramble :)

[@SlowLivingWithAutism]

That book - The Thursday Murder Club - looks really fun!! My library has it, so it will be my next read. Thanks!

[@hippyhighlandliving]

I'm looking forward to reading it!

[@charlotterice7418]

Thank you Mollie for a lovely video. I enjoy your vlogs. I became a vegetarian on my 38th birthday and wanted to become vegan but was a bit scared and clueless to be honest. I finally took the plunge on my 50th birthday earlier this year. Not looked back and your recipes have helped a great deal. Thanks again and ear scrunchies to Skye

[@hippyhighlandliving]

That's wonderful, well done you! :)

[@Nate1975]

Hi Molly. Wonder if you ever not plan a day, a week, a year? Might be a fun experiment to see what comes up when going with the flow and just how you feel day to day ❤

[@thehighlandlife2023]

This is my life, always going with the flow. But I can imagine for planners like Molly it probably feels all too disorganised!! But it works for me. Never know what each day will bring x

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Molly another lovely and peaceful vlog. Thank you for sharing your time with us. 💜

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Thank you lovelies :)

[@lizzieh5284]

Thank you for this, i always enjoy going out and about with you and Skye and seeing what you have bought. That looks like a charming little town and my kind of cafe.😊

[@hippyhighlandliving]

I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@amandarussell6298]

Your vlogs always make me think about what is important in life !

I love your weekly updates. It makes me feel so cosy. Thank you ❤

[@angelkisses5791]

I bought your slow living sweatshirt, it arrived today, I love the design but I feel the sizing is way off, I’m a size 14 but I ordered an size 18 so that it was oversized but it just fits me . The material isn’t stretchy either. I bought a sweatshirt from another shop which is a size 16 and it’s big on me. Thought it would be helpful for you to know that. I bought a t shirt from you before which was fine.

[@amythomson4446]

Good day ❤ from canada

[@asimplelivingjournal]

Lovely vlog Molly. Those Fatface shirts are the best. I bought one about a year ago when they had a half price sale on. Full price then was £70, so you got a great bargain there :). I wear mine a lot, it's so cosy to wear.

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Oh that's good to know, thank you!

[@helenjeindl524]

The Richard Osman series is wonderful I hope you enjoy it 🥰😻😻📚☕

[@TheEmpressgoth]

Thank you ❤❤❤❤😊😊

[@louiselewis7162]

The Switch is a good one, I really liked it. Better than The Roadtrip. Enjoy! x

[@nevertoolate8589]

That shirt is a great find. Will check out those books as I’m after something to read next. Do you ever travel out of Scotland or feel the desire to? I love my routines and slow living but at the same time, feel the “need” to escape the rut a few times a year.

[@Micah-countrysidedweller]

Thank you for another lovely video, I love your vlogs. That mix of books, local shops and nature walks is perfect to watch. As I'm currently stuck at home due to health issues it's wonderful to be able to have a wee slice of Scotland to brighten my day ❤ A little tip: currently the ending of your videos is quite fast, and when I watch on my smart TV I don't have time to give it a like before it's suddenly gone. Perhaps it could be an idea to have a slower ending, so people get a bit of time to click like. Just an idea, thought it might help with your KZbin reach 😊

Hello from France ! did you read "where the crawdads sing " ? My best reading of 2022 ! If you like cosy mystery i recommand the dales detective series of Julia Chapman and chocolate chip cookie murder of Joanne Fluke, and all the serie ! Have a nice summer !

[@hippyhighlandliving]

Yes I did and it is a wonderful book! Thank you for the recommendations :)

[@hackhackandaway4060]

This is the first time I'm seeing you do gardening 🤍 More of that, please. Where is your greenhouse located?

Your Cairngorm nature hikes are always gorgeous. I haven’t seen you bother by summer midges. Are there less of them in your area?

[@thehighlandlife2023]

I wondered this too! As we are a lot further north than Molly and they are in full swing here 🥴🤣

[@hippyhighlandliving]

There do tend to be less in the Cairngorms as we are further East, but I've learnt to avoid the worst areas where I can!

I was quite excited to read the Richard Osman book but abandoned it about 50 pages in; it was really bad. He obviously has a type of reader in mind and is doing nicely out of it but I just found it totally lacking in everything I want from a book.

I'm 48 and was ID'ed not too long ago. I couldn't help but wonder what the cashier was thinking... just being nice, or genuinely thinking I might be under age. 😅 I don't look old enough to have 8 grandchildren, but surely I look old enough to purchase alcohol. ❤
