The sheer joy when I realised this was 32 minutes 🥰 You’re officially part of my weekend routine now, usually with a coffee after my own walk. Thanks for the nature fix 🌿 Also congrats on going freelance!!
Your videos/vlogs make me feel at peace and appreciate the UK a lot more. Definitely needed at a time when the rest of the world feels a million miles away. Thank you.
Yes to more filming these type of videos also ur life is dream goals for life.... 🌟💐💕🙏😍
I've been self employed for 22 years. Couldn't go back and work for others now. It allows a flexibility that gives a certain freedom in life.
I like the way you are actively researching/testing your walks to make them suitable for the average walker. Should be a good guide book.
What an incredibly beautiful place to have moved to Athena, it is heavenly, you are SO lucky. I wish you and Harvey all the best and every happiness in your new life together in those wonderful surroundings.
Continue as you are Athena. You are an inspiration. I lost my Dad recently and I hope it helps you to know how beneficial I found it watching you and Oslo going around the tarn and then up Helm Crag. It was revitalising and I suspect it has begun to restore my enthusiasm for the outdoors. Continue doing what you’re doing and the way that you’re doing it. Luv Chris xXx
Another film full of Athena's natural warmth; watching it felt calming, self-indulgent and restorative. Thank you!
Really really love these types of videos, so as long as you enjoy making them, I would love to see more! Sending you lots of love.
Congratulations on being “on your own time” FULL TIME thats amazing and also a goal of mine someday. :)
Thank you! I hope you can do it someday too 😊
Athena seems like a nice woman with a nice life in the countryside, interesting to see a rural life from a young person's point of view in the 21st century, good to see a happy woman fulfill her potential 🇬🇧👍❤️
Definitely a yes to more videos like this! It's nice to see a week in your life here and there. Love seeing your little town and how cute it is
Love the weekly vlog style, the area you live looks so beautiful!
Loved seeing your week, would love to see more.
Your vlogs make our weekend warmer and brighter! Thank you 🌷hugs from the Netherlands!
Yes, please keep the vlogs coming!!’ This was a delight to watch. xx
Those hills are magic, so good for the soul.
a delightful look into your week. thank-you for bringing us along.
Absolutely beautiful video and inspiring to strive for one's own goals!! ♥
Really love these videos! I find it inspiring to see how much you do in a week! Makes me motivated to get off my butt 😃🙏🏽😁. PS: really also like the food hauls and cooking parts ☺️
It is exciting to watch your journey and Oslo's life unfold. You are so amazing to grow up with. Seems like you are glowing while sharing your moments.
Great vlog Athena love seeing the dales and how you test your walks for the guide books. More like this please just pure escapism!
Love everything you are about and feel connected. Camera skills, editing and...always in all ways...your choice of music. Love love love stuff...I would also listen to your audiobooks featuring your voice.
Good luck to you both it’s lovely when two nice people achieve their goals enjoy and happy times ian
Really enjoyed the variety and length of the vlog. Interesting to see the process of researching and producing a guide. Also great to glimpse into others lives. Thank you.
Watching your videos is a highlight of my week! Such lovely filming and editing. I especially love to watch them with my pup, Sawyer. She watches Oslo closely and listens to the birds and it gets us both excited to hit the Massachusetts trails.
Your videos are the perfect combination of relaxing and inspiring 😌✨ Thanks for sharing your week with us! 💓
Love all your videos and yes to more of these, it’s great seeing how other people’s week’s look and the day to day of where you guys live 🥰🪵🫖🐕
Love this style of video (a week in the life) and enjoyed the length so definitely a big yes to more of them!!! ✨
Really enjoyed the longer video, just popped it on while I had breakfast and got ready and was just delightful. Congrats on being fully freelance!!
I was so excited when I saw how long this video was, love that I have this every Saturday to watch. You seem even more free and calm now that you’re self-employed, congratulations!
Love the video Athena, delighted that you're doing your own thing now for work, and it's interesting to see what you're working week looks like!
Absolutely loved this video, Athena - I love the long format. Thanks for sharing! As someone who wants to make the transition to full time freelance later in the year, it's so inspiring to see someone else taking the leap. Can't wait to see what you create next! X
Yes please. Love watching your everyday life- your videos are always beautiful and full of wonderful nature and the simple pleasures of life
I love this kind of video! Weekly vlog style would be amazing and definitely the longer the better - it gives me an excuse to have a break from work for half an hour or so!
so nice seeing parts of everyday life and updates
Loved seeing how you spent your week 🥰 tfs x
Loved to see your week!
I love the long vlogs! I mean I love all the vlogs but this felt like spending the morning with a friend and that was super nice :)
Always enjoy what you serve up. Enjoy this new turn in your career. Blessings
So enjoyed your blog thingy. I love walking with you in the countryside. Thanks for the walks. All the best Joan 😊
I love seeing what you do in a week!! Keep it up love your videos!
Would love to see more videos like this! The longer the better, its so nice to properly escape to the hills with you through your videos! Best of luck with the start of your freelance adventure x
I really enjoyed this video. Very calming and beautiful scenery. I enjoy the longer videos as I save them to watch while knitting.
Such a lovely video! We went up to Easedale last time we were in the lakes. So nice to see youre able to do what you love for work
What a beautiful life you have set up! Very wholesome video!
Thanks for your content as always!
Yes please film more! Loved it
Loved this vlog and seeing how you spend your week Athena. So beautiful where you live. Oslo is so cute.🥰 Would be great to see more of these vlogs.💞
Yes to more weekly vlogs! Love this video!
It's all good, Athena. Thank you for doing these. 👍🙂
We f***ing luv seeing what you get up to. More like this please :D
Just in response to what you said at the very end of the video about suggestions Athena, would you consider doing some videos on local walks reasonably close to your new home in Yorkshire. There are many wonderful locations nearby - both scenically and historically - that would be WELL worth filming, such as around Haworth ( Penistone Hill, Bronte Waterfall ,Top Withens, Alcomden Stones), Ilkley Moor, Malham Cove and Tarn, all very beautiful, suitable for most walkers, and which could be perfect for guide book research if you haven't already thought of them. There is such an abundance of spectacular routes in this part of Yorkshire that one is spoiled for choice, including the dales walks (such as Nidderdale and Malhamdale), along riverside routes (interspersed with wonderful smaller towns/villages), and on towards the three peaks. As you can tell I am a bit biased!
So happy for you Athena...living the dream!!
Love this vlog, please definitely do more of these! ❤
Lovely video really enjoyed it and congratulations on your new step in being self employed! 🍀🎉
Saturday morning coffee, and your videos, a great start today. Around the 9:14 mark is a tree covered trail! Now I see what you had to do to get the book I ordered to me. I love it!
Oslo is a hoot!
Loved this.....keep them long please!!
yes love the weekly vlog and the longer ones! The more the better haha loved this vlog but I love all your videos :)
Congrats on going freelance! I have a very similar week haha, just down the road in Kendal with my online store and getting out to do my product photography etc. So love seeing this, very relaxing. I personally love the longer vlogs too! It's part of my week to have a nice coffee and watch your new video 😊
I'm a huge fan of testing out my walks. Interesting to hear you talking about it.
Your dog in the background is so cute! 😍 Amazing landscapes there! 👀Wish you success in the future! ❤️
Loved the long weekly vlog! Love more of them X
Beautiful video Athena, as always. Yes, I like the day-to-day week videos. And if they are long much better to exfoliate my brain. Thanks Athena! Greetings to Mr. Oslo!
Yes love this style vlogs,keep them coming🌿
Hello Athena,
I love these vlogs of yours. I too like to watch longer videos in sections, and yours are my favorite. Much love from Hawaii.
Yes please so loved your latest vlog, I watched with a cup of tea and chocolate cake at about 19.30pm this Sunday evening what a great way to finish my week.
I absolutely love this format / longer vlog style videos. Both me and my boyfriend enjoyed it. 🙏👌🙂
I love this weekly vlog 👏
Great video, love longer vlogs too. Congrats on your self employment!
loved this vlog! keep them long in this style!
Congratulations! Exciting times ahead. Also great Two Thirds jumper - I recently got the same one 😂 all the best with the new life situation! 🙌
Lovely vlog Athena..great to see the area. Wishing you all the success on your freelance journey..do exciting to follow you
Love these longer vlogs :) lovely video
Love this insight into your new life. I’m writing a walking guide too. My favourite walks where I live in the South Downs National Park. I provide adaptations and alternate routes for each walk - so you can make them longer or shorter to suit your ability or mood on the day. It makes the descriptions and the maps a little more complicated but I think it’s worth it. Oslo IS so very cute. Love the way he talks to you.
Love this video! Definitely do more like this, please😊
Ramble Guides ARRIVED today and I’m sooo excited to start exploring and rambling 😃
such exciting times! Congratulations on becoming fully self-employed! Loved your vlog, in terms of length I enjoyed it and watched it all but just a thought that as life, hopefully, gets fuller again maybe I won't have time to watch for so long.
Congrats on the new step you’re taking! I wish you the best of luck. Your videos made me decide to go on a short solo cycling trip to explorethe region that I moved to. I camped one night, cold but fun, (stupidly forgot the old hot water bottle in a sock trick) and visited a friend the next. I’m Dutch, we have no nature to speak of compared to the UK. But it was good to be thoroughly outside again and I found some nice roads. Thanks!
Great video Athena great scenery and a great companion with you on your walk Oslo great work keep it up and all the best in your new career?.....Stewart
Lovely video. Best of luck with freelancing. Oslo is so adorable, I love tbey way he talks back😉
Yes please more long vlogs, I love this 💖
Love the video, the wooden things in your back garden (you couldn't remember what they are called) are pallets. Hope you are having a great weekend x
Loved the video, the content and the length of it, keep them coming please 😁
Awesome I love this adventures thanks for taking us with you to for a walk
Definitely yes I would love to see more vlogs like this!☺️
Nice video again. I am happy to see Oslo wearing a harness now as that is so much safer/better in the outdoors than a collar, especially with a flex leash. Great improvement👍
Lovely video as always.Any content you produce will be really enjoyed by me!!So YES to it all!😊
Pallets!! Thanks for your latest update to life in the Fells.
You are really happy, this new life is suiting you 😀
best 30-minute video I've seen for a while. most relaxing and chilled-out film. I feel quite tired now so I think I will have a cup of tea and a piece of cake followed by a snooze LOL. Hugh
Enjoyed this longer vlog, while I ate breakfast, it was relaxing and inspiring.
Numerous times I have hiked with my family in the Lake District, Grasmere area is one of my favourites. Also had one of Maisie's flapjacks! 🌳🙂🌳
Yes please more of this
Thank you
Dear Athena, thank you so much for your lovely content. I have just 'found' you, but am watching everything! I can't believe your new home - I am sure I visited really near there for my holidays as a child. I learned to swim in the river and we walked up Winder and got lost! My Dad and I loved the Lakes too and we did a few of the fells. I haven't been walking for a long time. I have a dreadful sense of direction! But after watching some of your videos I got the OS app on my phone and took my son out last weekend. I await your next walking guide eagerly! Thanks again for heaps of inspiration and a look at a place that is very close to my heart. Xx
Another lovely video!
I’m very here for the long videos and vlogs! It’s so nice and calming to watch and it brings the country into my little city life which is sorely needed right now (Toronto just entered a brutal third wave). Looking forward to more content in whichever form it takes! Congrats on the freelance life, I’m sure you’ll love it.
So sorry to hear that Toronto has entered a third wave, but I’m glad that my videos can offer a little bit of calm 🙂
Really nice video Athena ! Your new house is really nice as the place you live!
I'm really happy to see that you're 100% self-employed now! I'm sure you're doing it for fun and passion, but I'm glad that we also benefit from your choice (videos, books, gears). We are also a winner from your new full-time job!!! I love the new town you're in! It looks so lovely!!! I said it before, but you made me want to travel the UK as my new first-choice post-pandemic destination.
Oslo is such a good boy
Really enjoyed this, would love to see more.🐕🐾
