Isle of Lewis Revisited

[@Louisa93able]

I love beach therapy and you found some splendid beaches for the experiences of different moods of the sea and variations of light.

[@Louisa93able]

Thanks for introducing me to the historical reconstructions I knew nothing about.

[@Louisa93able]

Perhaps the great unspoilt outdoors is the best place of worship of all.

It is such a special treat for me to have access to a second helping of Lewis/Harris from you. It looks as if there may be more of the Outer Hebrides from you from further South.

what a successful surprise - your truly magnificent audio vision - a reunion for us too with places from our hiking holiday in the Hebrides - masterful, calm camera work, wonderful background and musical accompaniment - another masterpiece - my wife and I will continue to follow you faithfully - Unfortunately we are no longer able to go on a trip like this together - maybe I can still visit my dream destination St Kilda

[@christinamandacodgerinahat]

Thank you for your very kind comments - I am happy that these videos bring others joy. Harris is just being edited as we speak!

[@MeinhardRoggisch]

@@christinamandacodgerinahat Then we are already looking forward to Harris - to the hike Hushinish, Cravadale and back over the Traigh Mheilein - for your next visit to Lewis Dun Carloway Broch and the site of the Lewis Chessman (near Mangersta).

Another great video and nice music, too. What a place. I must have watched your 17 part Hebridian odyssey a dozen times, I love it. I even sourced a cd of the music you used. Celtic Tranquility - William Jackson. I hope to travel the outer hebrides in my little micro camper myself next April. Can't wait.

[@christinamandacodgerinahat]

What a lovely, lovely comment! I'm so very touched. I love William Jackson's music and I'm glad that his publisher allows me to use his music on KZbin despite copyright. I'm excited for you travelling next April - a good month to visit. Well before any midges and hopefully some decent weather. The gorse should just be coming out..... (I don't know where you are, but Spring is nearly a month later up there compared with South England). Tip: Of course, the Hebrides are amazing in whatever weather, but to see them at their very best, sunshine helps. So we always stay more days than we think we'll need to increase the chances of at least one day of sunshine on each island. Just so you know, I don't think the iron age house at Bosta opens until 1st May each year, although of course you can walk to it.

@christinamandacodgerinahat I retired last September, so I intend to spend 2 or 3 weeks travelling the outer hebrides, whatever takes my fancy really. Oh, and I'm in Stockport, Greater Manchester.

[@Louisa93able]

Superb treatment of Saint Moluag's with the music of one version of the 23rd Psalm; a moving emotional experience for me; ta muchly. I wonder, are simple places of Christian worship the best?

[@christinamandacodgerinahat]

Well, each to their own, but personally I’d agree. I find it a place of simple serenity.

[@Louisa93able]

I cannot imagine how hard life was for persons who lived a long time ago in black houses and lesser dwellings. As late as the 17th Century ordinary highlanders had no shoes; they walked in ice and snow barefoot.

This book portrays a vivid account of life on Harris (in Scarista) at the start of the 20th century Crowdie And Cream And Other Stories: Memoirs of a Hebridean Childhood amzn.eu/d/8FLdTN8

@@christinamandacodgerinahat That was kind of you and I have written it down, but my in tray is piled high already and have loads of other necessitous things to do.
