- Willie, Sarah and their dogs Jack Spaniels & new puppy, Nori continue their biggest adventure yet - leaving their suburban life and moving over the sea to a remote cottage on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.
In this episode, the Skye Lifers split up! Sarah takes on a mammoth trip - travelling from the Isle of Skye to her home city of Newcastle, for an emotional reunion with family & friends. Could this be the most scenic train journey in the UK..?
Meanwhile, Willie stays home with Jack Spaniels and Nori to bask in the spring Hebridean sunshine. Will he cope straying home alone with the two crazy spaniels..?!
Thanks for watching & see you in the next video!

So sweet to hear how much Willy missed Sarah. I think he was as happy as the pups to see her back home xxx I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder!
Long string between... Best of both worlds
Oh my gosh the sound of Nori’s galloping feet is so cute!
@livingtheskyelife
Willie, it was heartwarming to see and hear you express deep love and respect for Sarah.
Sarah, glad to hear your loving advise to Willie to relax and enjoy the bonding with the boys. The long trip to see family and friends must have been worth the time. Literally and figuratively. On another, have you thought of doing some drawings or paintings from your trip?
What an adorable episode! I really look forward to your videos on Sunday afternoon.
I love the sound Nori's feet make running over the wet beach. Sixty years ago, more or less, I was at Grandpa's old farm riding horses with my cousin. We had gone to the back edge of the back field to check on some fences after a storm. The edge of the field was marked by a small stream, which had perhaps six inches of water flowing through it. Our horses made exactly that noise as we walked along the stream bed and it was very relaxing. But suddenly my horse saw something that startled him and he reared back. The belly band holding the saddle to his back broke and I fell onto my arse in the water, the saddle laying next to me. The horse took off for the stable and my cousin almost fell off his horse he was laughing so hard. I had to carry the saddle all the way back to the barn and had some uncomplimentary things to say to the horse when I finally got back. Nori's clopping along the beach brought to memories back instantly. I haven't thought about that I decades. Thanks for the memories!
It’s always wonderful to go home again. Thank you Sarah for taking us along.
How sweet that you miss Sarah when she's away for a couple of days. Ahhh. I work in Gosforth and it was quite nice to see Newcastle on film like that - it is a beautiful city, but I bet it was a relief to get back to the peace of Skye.
Willie there is nothing in life better than sharing it with a good woman. You and Sarah make a lovely couple and the respect and love you have for each other is obvious and heartwarming. Are you still a three car family? ❤
Just the two now! Managed to sell Willie’s old car here on Skye 😊
@livingtheskyelife not so bad Sarah. Hope you've stashed the money for coffee and cakes lol.
Many years ago when working in London I shared a flat with a lass from Newcastle..she invited me to spend Christmas with her family …what a time I had ..tried a few of those pub on the afternoon of Christmas Eve …never to be forgotten …Wonderful city and fabulous folk … lovely video this week as always ❤️
Thank you for a nice love story.
No one but Pups can give you that unconditional love and happiness when they see you again (no matter if it’s 2 minutes or 2 days 🙈) I’ve enjoyed watching you guys, and finally made it on time (Sunday) usually have no time but today 🙏❤️🐾🥰
One at a time Willie seems wisest.
Wishing you both a very happy Easter 🐣 xx
Goodness Nori has hectic puppy energy😂...so cute!Loved your train trip Sarah...well done with keeping the fort at Skye Willie.
Great episode! Loved seeing Sarah’s home town…. I really loved hearing Willie talk about Sarah going home and that he missed her… melted my heart!! What a lovely little family… thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Have a great week! ❤😊
While watching Jack and Nori snack on your crumpets, it appears Jack has learned that the word "Nori" begins with "No" 😂
Sounds like the break has been great for all of you. It’s lovely to see Nori being so active. Hope you all had a good break for Easter x
My father was born in Newcastle in 1924 and emigrated to the US in 1925 with his family.
Willie, lucky you having lobster 🦞 available on your doorstep 😊
Watching dogs pelting around with their ears waving about and their tails wagging.. pure joy!
Happy Easter! Can I point out that Pink Lane Bakery in Newcastle belongs to the Daughter (Martha) of another CZcamsr called Kate Jackson of The Last Homely House - check it out!!! Lovely to be greeted by the puppies on your return home Sarah!
Just what I was going to add - become one of the people on Kate's Lime Green Sofa (LGS)!
Wow what a joourey you took to see your family and friends Sarah. Poor Willie left all on his own to look after the boys and were'nt tthey so glad that mum had come home. Thanks for taking us allong on yoour trip and see you both next week. The lobster pots look great but I think I wouold put one to each boy as if you lost one the three would go if they were all on one string.
Lovely video, beautiful scenery. Enjoyed the train journey (with the sounds of the trains clicking down the track--always loved that sound!) the towns/cities and old buildings, the dog walks/dashes in the water and the exuberant Jack-and-a-Nori reunion with Sarah! 🌻 Thank you!
Let's just say the BOY'S MISSED YOU 😂
Thanks for sharing Newcastle and a bit of your "younger" years with us. The towns have so much history and stunning old buildings. The dogs are adorable ❤❤
As Always love your vidioes it really helps my Depression so many thanks look forward to next vidio Thanks
You know what else is good…. Watching animals and babies doing funny things on You Tube. I watch it before I go to bed which helps put me in a happy frame of mind.
Happy Easter guys and boys
Never amazing video love your dogs 🐕 I am from Newcastle
That was lovely. I’ve just discovered Newcastle (do a little work with the Uni occasionally) and absolutely love it. Thanks for sharing it. Did feel a wee bit sorry for Willie though, missing your company Sarah 🥹
Nice to see views of Newcastle. My only exposure to the city was the rail yard and station on my trip from London to Edinburgh.
Sarah a very long day for you. The dogs were having a wonderful time while you were stuck on the trains, Willie and the pups were missing you heaps I’m sure. Lovely to be with your Mum for Mothers Day.
Stunning scenery by the way ❤️
I would do 1 at a time mate due to how heavy they will be when wet and full 😊
I loved travelling by train while on my visit to Scotland.
Me too, I could watch the scenery for hours whether it was houses or fields, I loved it all. A cup of coffee and a sausage roll…. Bliss
excellent video, I loved seeing all the Architecture, thank you. I get so involved in your videos because you both make them so much fun and interesting! God bless you both and your boys oh and Happy Easter 🐰🐰 🐰🐣🐣🐣 too!
As a cdn I am not familiar with all of the accents in the UK but I was shocked for some reason to find out Sara wasn't Scottish. I thought she must be from a bigger city so has a softer Scottish accent. Imagine my surprise in hearing she is English. Lol
I'm originally from Nova Scotia, in Canada, so have heard a version of a Scottish accent as well as Gaelic spoken.
Have a fantastic Easter weekend and thanks for sharing parts of your life's with us.
Enjoyed your trip to Newcastle and I would like to wish you both a happy easter x
One of my recent favorites. Wonderful contrast between Sarah's travels with Willie & pups'.
One at a time with the lobster pots, lines are for larger boats with power winches. Great video.
I watched some CZcams videos of other people taking this train trip, beautiful.
I would put a line on one on each pot so you can spread them out in a area.
I am dizzy and exhausted just watching Nori.
Hi guys your breakfast Sarah looked delicious 😋
My first ever comment . . . . . You guys make my week! I love Skye and I love spaniels. I would like to pass on my learned knowledge of switching the dogs food to a raw diet. I saw Willie feeding Jack and Nori their breakfast and remember my springer gorging down his kibble but my cavaliers gave me a hard time with any kibble or wet food I tried. Because of some health issues, Jasper needed a food without carbohydrates and we took advise to try the raw food diet. Sarah/Willie, you would be amazed at the results; 3 cavaliers cannot wait for mealtimes now! ALL ailments GONE. No more expensive vet visits. Our brand is 'Dougies' and it is in frozen block which you thaw out in the fridge over 24 hours. We also feed raw sprats and lightly cooked brocolli. You both impress me with your pet care and training, keep going and reap those lovely waggy tails and playtimes! xxxxxxx
Thanks for the advice!
Totally agree..raw food is the best. I used to be a puppy walker for Guide Dogs for the Blind and they always give their dogs raw food. I went to my local butcher each week for heart's, liver, offal etc.
Nice city indeed, Newcastle! Love the cafe where “The Beatles” played … nice! Thank you for taking us along….such a long journey but beautiful! And of course nothing like Skye life! Stay warm … greetings from Calif. USA….🤗
What a lovely welcome Sarah got from the boys on her return home from Newcastle 😂
that was fun!! beautiful city!
Happy Easter 🐣 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Those pots are heavy but should last you for ages Willie. Wishing you lots of success.
Happy Easter 🐰🐣 I love your train ride! I want to.go on one so much.
Newcastle is my home town too. Lovely to see the sights again, thank you.
BTW, one pot at a time I reckon Willie.
I DID think I was in Sydney for a minute there. It was like a miniature Sydney Harbour Bridge. Didn’t realise its history. Learned something today. And yes, I bet you missed your Sarah lots. Good luck with your lobster pots. I would have thought dropping them in different spots would have maximised your chances of a lobster thermidor supper. 😎
Love those puppy boys so much!
Thanks for taking us along for the weekend! 😊
Love hearing Nori running near the warer as he sounds like a galloping horse!!! Lol!! Thank you Sarah for taking us along to show us the sights of Newcastle!! Received my Poppy print and really love seeing your talent!! Great job!! Hugs to Jack and Nori!!
I love your adventures and your stays at home!!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
A Gosforth lass same as me ,and my late wife was from Heaton . We also fell in love with Skye and went there every year . We once had a cottage at Stein for a 3 week stay , never to be forgotten !
Loved being back in Gosforth for a wee while! Even the buses were more reliable than I remember them…🤣
Very glad I found yor channel a month ago or so. Really enjoying it. Well done & brilliant
Thank you guys for another great video ❤❤
Thank you for showing lovely views as you traveled!!!
nice trip Sarah.. been a while since We went to Newcastle.. We have a friend who lives there. Looks like Willie had fun with the boys x
Love the trip down memory lane as an ex-pat Geordie! Thanks Sarah! Hope you got to have a stottie.
The stotties were lovely!
In the final frame when your are singing "Living the Skye Live" I notices a framed print of your cottage. The same print is now above my desk in Conway South Carolina. Now I have had my Skye life fix i am good for another week. Slainte.🤭
Wilkie Sarah, lovely video! Thank you!
That was fun to watch, Nice to have time alone. But it is always nice. To be reunited after an absence. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
At one point in my life I had five dogs. Never again! All American Cocker Spaniels three black,one party *plack and white ) like Nori I called him Freckles, and one tan! Crazy times. I had to travel for business and found a company called Critter sitters who took care of them when I traveled. they were amazing and took such great care of the pups!
Love that sound Nori makes when running through the water 🐾🐾
As for the pots, I’d personally go with one with its own buoy (based absolutely no knowledge at all 😂. Accept for thinking about your back pulling them back up with a massive catch 🤞)
Happy Easter on Skye!
Enjoyed your train journeys Sarah though I can imagine it was tiring. So sweet of Willie to say he misses you. Looks like you took great care of Jack and Nori .Already looking forward to the next one .❤❤❤❤❤❤
Haha, wondering how many people will get the ' Fresh Pots!' reference 😆. Nice vid again guys, and Sarah thanks for showing us the lovely trainride AND around your hometown 😄
Lovely video as always, thanks so much!
Hi, Sarah and Willie. I liked this video. See you next week❤️❤️❤️❤️
One creel at a time I would say .
Got to be one at a time for the lobster pots .what a great episode … love the vibe you two have together and with your boys . 😊
Thank you. I love seeing the two dogs together. Nori looks like he may make a bigger dog than Jack.
I think so too. The size of his Paws tells you a great deal, they are massive compared to Jacks 💕🥰💕🥰💕
I really think hopping and “doing, doing, doing” needs to be a weekly sign off… 😂😂😂 I’m still giggling from that one😊
Hi Guys.
I enjoyed the scenery on the train journey and Newcastle is interesting. Nori is getting a lot more bigger as well as more adventurous in his exploring. Another great video. Have a good week.
Wow what a train ride! I had heard that train ride was a beauty. Would love to do it one day.
Another lovely video thanks guys 😍
Nori sounds like a race horse. Lovely day for you Willie. Your travel Sara was monumental. Brilliant country with smart transport for people. Love UK. Love your videos. Thanks for the journey into your lives.
Willie , your spot on .. the new lobster creels are fantastic but two at a time are too much mate a length between each to allow a breather between " lifts " is a great idea " think about your back " 👍
Another grand slice of Skye and Newcastle life guys. I reckon three single strings of lobster pots just due to weight when wet and if you get a loaded one even heavier, unless your next purchase is a rope hoist??? 😂🤟🤟🤟
Happy Easter guys.. Sarah thanks for taking us along to ur hometown, and Willie Nori is just being a puppy chewing on everything.. Hope u all are well…
Absolutely love your channel you two !
Thanks so much!!
It’s nice to be apart sometimes ❤❤
String em with long line between. My pots were 3 times bigger and much lighter…( Nantucket Island, USA ). Rectangular. Family license allowed 6 pots
Never made it to Newcastle but was in Stockton a few months back and loved the North East and the people, I’ll have to go back there soon for more of an exploration! Glad you’re all doing ok, sending big love to you all x
Happy Easter. Been on the train from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh.Stunning scenery. ❤
Adorable as always. Bonnie Newcastle, happy memories for me too. Thanks for taking us back with you Sarah. Such lovely comments Willie, heartwarming :)
Quite a few Vera filming locations in this video, Sarah. Great edit as always. 😊
Fun to see the bridge from a lot of my British drama’s.
What a nice looking city centre, such beautiful buildings.
Thanks for letting us tag along. Cheers from Canada.
Another lovely video. Man, you guys are smashing! N&Nx
The pots I reckon 1 at a time because of weed trapping in the string of 3 making it really hard to pull up 🤷♂️
Crikey, I bet that was a long day on 4 trains 🚂? Great scenery though . Bet it was strange being in a noisy city compared to Skye . Although we live in Cumbria, (very close to Northumberland and Scotland ) and it is beautiful, I have to admit Scotland , especially the North West is on another scale ( love it ❤) and would love to live there one day or at least visit a lot more 😊
Such a long journey! I’m so glad it was delayed or cancelled 😅 It’s always a strange feeling being back in a big town or city after the quiet of Skye!
Lovely Trip Sarah. What stamina you have. Thanks for the travel log. Sweet weekend. Again thanks. Haven’t missed a video in a year.
A long but beautiful journey.
My UK family are from Newcastle, I visited there twice (I live in Australia) and it's a great city.
How lovely to hear Willy talk about Sarah in that way 😍 you two have such a beautiful relationship. I have faith that I will find someone to have this with one day 🥰 xx
Hi guys Mark says to willie maybe keep your lobster baskets individually then you won't lose all the baskets if they snag on the sea floor and waypoint their postion on GPS if lost maybe a friendly diver could retrieve them.does richard dive😂🤙.loved seeing your home town sarah hats of to you for the long train journeys though bet you were so tired. So cute nori and Jack spaniels on the beach pitter pattering through the water. Can't wait till you do your fishing videos.❤xxx
