Spring Has Arrived At Our 1840s Cottage on the Isle of Skye, Highlands, Scotland - Ep16
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 08. 2024
- Willie, Sarah and their dog, Jack Spaniels, continue their biggest adventure yet - leaving their suburban life and moving over the sea to 'Live The Skye Life'!
In this episode, the 'Skye-Lifers' continue with their scratch build shed and Willie makes a rather noisy impulse buy off Facebook Marketplace...
Spring must really have arrived on the island, as we are out foraging for wild garlic and we have managed to ditch the thermals...will it last..?!

That wild garlic pesto looks amazing. The shed is really looking great.
What a great friend you have in Richard. I hope we get to see him again!!
Looking forward to this every Sunday 😍♥️ Thanks a mill! PS: Richard‘s a class fella for helping out so much!
I'm just sending a message ❤❤❤❤❤. Will watch this evening! 😊😊😊😊😊
Enjoying the progress of the shed but going with Sarah to gather wild garlic was soul soothing. In west Texas we cherish rain and water. Our annual rainfall is about 20 inches and often we don’t get that. It’s very dry. Seeing the water and watching the waterfalls made my heart sooo happy. And I love Jack Spaniels excitement for being!!!!!
Yep I went to high school in Pecos. Relative humidity usually around 12. I had that same thought about the waterfalls and little streams.
All that's needed now are some matching mini sheds aka bird boxes made from shed off-cuts.
Yeaa, I get to live the skye life vicariously thru my favorite trio! That made so much pesto; great value. Love a wet doggo in the mix. Be well from washington state USA ❤️
She walks she...paints sheds....she makes pesto garlic...! Richard is a great neighbor to have on Sky, the shed looks great. Jack is having the time of his life on skye..😆
Richard is a hoot
cheers 🤙🤙🤙
It's a shame Willie is so good, & so happy with his drums!---The smell of garlic always makes me angry. I don't mind eating the foods with garlic in it, as long as I don't have to smell it.
Watching with a cuppa hot chocolate today....so enjoyable. The shed looks amazing. Many drummers in my family, so I am on team Willie with that. Always a pleasure to watch Mr. J Spaniels enjoying his hike. I love Sarah's work but not sure about the logistics of getting one to Canada.
We ordered from Sarah mid-March, as soon as Royal Post opened International shipping again, and it was posted in Carbost 10 days later. We received it without incident here in Northeast Washington State within about 9 days
@@NKKinzer Yes, sadly Canada Post can be difficult to deal with. I have even had issues with small companies in the USA.
@@gerryhatrick6678 so very sorry to hear that Gerry! I know ordering coffee from Nelson BC requires the package to be sent to Los Angeles to be entered into Customs there as opposed to Seattle which seems to be logical to me
Sara, give Willie the recipe for making sourdough starter. CZcams has a couple of easy recipes. He'll love it!
I just realized the shed doesn't have a floor yet! Lol I was thinking you were almost finished.
The shed build is coming along well. The wild garlic pesto looked delicious.
I love every second of your videos. So lovely to watch. Thank you. Not enough o’s in cool for Richard. Such a great man.
So lucky to have Richard. My small flat roof leaks, four builders later and a new roof it still leaks. Good luck with your life on Skye.
Great work on the shed Willie and Richard. I enjoyed the garlic foraging. That was such a beautiful walk. ❤
you should have built a deck on top of the shed for a perfect tea/beer drinking spot.what a view from there!!!!
My sprocker, when he comes in from a walk and is all wet and/or muddy, heads straight into the shower where he sits waiting for me to turn it on. Then by testing the heat of the water with his head, will only deign to go under the flow when the water is running warm!
Aww so cute! Jack point blank refuses to go near any water that is warm and soapy 😅 A dunk in the cold highland river is far more to his liking!
The pesto looks amazing!! Didn't know that you could freeze it!!! What beautiful landscape you found the wild garlic in!!🥰🥰🥰
Will is really good on those drums, but poor Sarah and Jack Spaniels! We have tons of garlic where I live, so I shall be making pesto in the way you have Sarah, thanks for that! Looked sooo delicious. She is looking fabulous! xxx
I meant to say that the shed is looking fabulous, but Sarah looks fabulous too of course! xxx
I sure miss the bottle site digging.
Pesto looks yummy
Sometimes I almost feel like I'm living in Scotland as the weather changes here have been unreal the past week or so. Last week it was sunny and 80 degrees, 4 days ago there was snow and 60s, 2 days ago severe thunderstorms, today back down in the 30s..........brrrrrrrrrr its cold!! Your friend Richard scared the bejeezus outta me, climbing on that roof before the tin was added. I do so enjoy your walks Sarah, the beauty and serenity is beyond words! Keep practicing Willie, it'll come back to ya! Love you all 🥰💖🦴
Sounds like Wisconsin weather. 😩
@@JeanStAubin-nl9uo NY really sux this time of year
Looks warmer in skye than it has been in parts of Fife, which is braw for getting the shed done. Another grand Sunday night we'll done guys
I’m so glad springtime has arrived in Skye. I was seriously worried you’d freeze to death. I can’t wait to see what adventures are coming now that the weather has begun to improve ❤
Fantastic video as always and seeing Golden eagles flying over your cottage ❤
Maybe they are nesting nearby.
Ha! I came across this vid randomly and never expected to see a face from High School! Richard!
I was today years old when I learnt there's such a thing as wild garlic! Thanks guys, fab video as always. ❤
Oh dear, the happiest 30min of my life.
Awesome as always, shed looks amazing Willie, could watch you three for hours, thanks for sharing your life on skye, very jealous lol, enjoy your week all 👍
Shed has come together nicely! A drum kit eh??😬lol
Nice to see the foraging for garlic, love your walks in nature. Look forward to next week🙂
You two are awesome people. Love your vlogs. Love from Ireland.
Love watching you I am coming to Scotland for a week on a trip looking forward to coming hope to be on Skye on Tuesday for lunch at the dunollie hotel can’t wait x
Great video! Richard is certainly handy with a chainsaw. Ahh, collecting ramps. You know it’s Spring ! The pesto looks amazing!
Ramps are the first wild harvest of the year here in Michigan. The pesto looks amazing.
It's wonderful to see how enthusiastic Jack is for everything. It reminds me of my Sugar Cookie when she was younger. She's quite old now and sleeps most of the time but she's still adorable and gets excited when one of the kids brings one of her boys over for a visit. I enjoy reliving the old days vicariously through Jack. Thanks!
I love the chainsaw idea. Hahahaha 😂 You have a beautiful life on Skye. The shed looks amazing.
I love wild garlic. Thank you so much.
Willie....If you have a sunny day Don't jinx it. 🤣🤣
10:35 See you jinxed it 🤣
Richard is a great roofer! The shed looks great! I’ve never had wild garlic, and don’t know if it even grows in my area. Something to look into, for sure. The pesto looked delicious. Thanks for sharing! Love your recipes!
Thanks Willie, Sarah and Jack for another lovely video. Shed looks great and so does the wild garlic pesto. Love the Bloopers always. Have an awesome week.
Jack Spaniels loves water and blocks of wood. Shed looking awesome
Lovely, as always!
We have had several fake springs. When I got up this morning at 7:30 it was 30F.
I love your posts !!! Makes Sunday even more special. This Florida grandma really enjoys, especially the walks in the woods with Sir Jack Spaniels !!!
Put Willie in the shed with the drums!!!
🤣 Ha! Maybe I will!!
Why can't you guys make sourdough? A starter only takes about a week from scratch. Happy to send through a recipe for starter if you need it!
The people do love it🤪🇿🇦🏴❤️
More great stuff, Richard is a real "one off" gem. Smashing filming and editing, and of course darling Jack. Thanks guys......Alioban
The shed is looking great! I loved watching Jack follow you like a shadow while harvesting the garlic, Sarah. He’s so sweet.
Love and blessings
great to see you both settling in to your new home, its looking awfy bonnie with the spring flowers 😊😊. Richard is worth every penny with his work on the shed, satisfying foraging Sarah. Have a great week.
Sunday wouldn't be Sunday without this. Wonderful stuff.
Made my day❤
Great progress on the shed. I had to chuckle when looking at both your hands after painting and hearing both of you on the drums you definitely know who is the painter and who is the drummer!! 😂😂
As always, love seeing all 3 of you and your live on Skye!
The shed is looking great! The look on Sarah's face when she told us of the incoming drum kit was perfect, haha! I'll be on Skye from 5 May to 10 May, let me know if there is a beach clean or something I can help with.
Hello everyone, thank you for another great video
I've planted some wild garlic in our front garden, trying to stop local cats using it for a loo !
Lovely video guys, really enjoyed 😉
My husband makes enough pesto to share with friends. He uses pine nuts but has tried sunflower seeds too. Both are delicious. We use it all the time. I like to cut up a large batch of assorted green veggies with mushrooms and onions. I put it all in a very large, deep skillet and cook it on a gentle flame. When the veggies are almost cooked I add a bag of fresh spinach. I’ve also used frozen. The veggies are wonderful in omelets. We use it on tortellini and shrimp salad which we eat cold. I wish you two much joy in your life together. Your videos are a joy to watch. M.V.
I've never been so invested in the building of a shed before... she's a cracker.... I look forward to next week's episode to see if Willie and Richard ( was he a roadie for Status Quo?? 😂😂 ) have got the floor done!? I await with great anticipation!!!
P.s... I've ordered a couple of Sarah's prints to brighten up my hallway, and I have space for 4 more.... but I'm not rolling in cash, so I will order them in instalments ( I'm very excited!! )
Keep up the good work!!
Fantastic viewing, showing that often the simplest things in life can bring the most enjoyment!!
Not that you're simple... but your lifestyle is and has me hooked!!
😊
Loving your Skye life from Prince George County, Virginia USA.
You two live quite remote, your neighbours are quite a ways away so I don't think they will hear (or be annoyed by) Willie's drumming but when they smell that pesto I think they may be flocking to your house :).
Very nice work Richard. Willy sorry you got sacked. Your pesto looks fantastic. Your guys are brilliant, and smart too. ;) Hi Jack. You good boy!
That reminds me, I must find a vegan wild garlic pesto recipe. Found one!
Gorse flowers are also nice in a salad!
See all those board end grains on the shed, I would cover them up with a vertical board where you can just to keep them from rotting!
The corners are getting covered on vertical cladding 😊 That will be the final stage of the shed, after the floor and door 😅
Just as well you moved to Skye imagine being in your old place and Willie playing his drums (one way of getting rid of your neighbours) ha ha. You did find wild spaniel by the name of Jack though. The wild garlic pesto looked delicious and 'Hey pesto' in a blink of an eye you have pesto. Love it. Have a lovely day Willie, Sarah and Jack spaniels.
🎉🎉Roof is on the shed! Thanks for the Sunday video🥰
John Bonham eat your Heart out...LOL Great job on the Drums Willie!
Whee! It's years since I heard anyone say "ingress"--thank you! Grear shed! Hurray for Richard!
Great progress and yum.
You think Richard would come help us next in Canada?
Always special to have good friends.🌻
The videos just get better in every respect the shed looks great. I don't know where Willy gets all his energy working on the shed then playing that drum set. LOL
Almost done with the shed! Looks terrific! here I am at and no real transportation up the mountains, I have never tried ramps unfortunately, but we have the string wild garlic that looks like green inions I collect and dehydrate and use as a spice for many dishes. I do love the fresh taste! I am curious I don't know a lot about mosses and lichen but I know there are some that are edible, seeing how mush grows there I wondered while looking at your walk, if any of those were edible? I love the look Jack gives you! So adorable! I see your hesitant about the drums..lol I grew up with two brothers who loved to bang on anything that made a sound! oy ! Now they both play acoustic and electric guitar, keyboard, and drums ! I miss their jam session's! My one brother is finally moving back in a week and I hope to hear him play again, I wonder what my neighbors will think? lol
Thoroughly enjoy all your vlogs. Very wholesome and entertaining. Amazing to see life in that beautiful part of the world. Best from Canada. ❤
Jack Spaniels is living his best life 🥰 💜🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
From the Midwest in the US. You are in the land of my ancestors. I had the great privilege of visiting once several years ago. Your brogues are not nearly as pronounced as my Grandma Mac’s - but so lovely to listen to. Not sure how I stumbled upon you - but so very glad I did. Wishing you much joy.
The shed is looking incredible 🤩🤩 and that Pesto ... yummmm 🤩🤩 watched the whole video as usual but won't leave essay 🤣
The shed is looking great and Willie plays drums well! It's great seeing Sarah forage for the wild garlic. We're having a Ramp Festival in May in the NC mountains. The pesto looks delicious!
How lucky you are to have a neighbour like Richard
Nice to see someone properly explaining how to detail the edge of a roof.
Good on you😊appreciate your efforts. We'll done and blessings Philippa New Zealand
I cannot get over how beautiful the views are, wherever you look! 😍❤
I was very surprised to see Sunshine and blue sky in your video, great job on the shed and wild garlic pesto yummy.
Haha we were too! We had a whole week of sunshine last week, but now back to snow & hail 😅
You've done really well and it's a joy following you. Only today realised, watching another of your videos, that you're next door to the churchyard where we scattered my sister's ashes, and only one loch up from where I lived as a boy. Nice to have you as neighbours, even if a generation or two removed!
Last time smoked fish, this time wild garlic. Love it. And people do love the goofy sign off.
The view from your windows 😍
Great to end on a laugh - even before the bloopers! Thanks for another varied and interesting video. Have a good week, take care x .PS - great jammies Willy!
The shed looks terrific so far, just the floor to go, amazing. Love the look of that garlic pesto, I don't think we have wild garlic like that here in Australia.
yay.. great video.. lovely walk and shed build is coming along nicely
Love watching the shed come to be. Fascinating with the wild garlic pesto
Siskin.... A new painting!!! Even better the waterfall!!!!
Loving the shed. I'm getting a new shed next week . And I can't believe how excited I am. 😂 🐱 X
Loved the show. The shed is fairly complete and looks great. Your walk was so beautiful Sarah it makes you yearn for the Highlands and that amazing Scottish air. Can you let me know that you got your envelope in Portree . Love to you all, Alex, still living the Fife life ❤️
Cool fixing the garlic, great seats to celebrate almost finishing the shed.
You give me a smile every week! Thanks for your creativity and welcome attitude to Life! Sarah, kudos to you for being a conscientious forager.
You 2 (3 counting Jack Spaniels :) live in a gorgeous area....love your videos!
Richard's a character! Nice to have a knowledgeable helper. Love, love, love this channel! The shed looks great. Now you need to make some drum music to go with these videos. Thank you!
Gorse makes the most delicious diluting juice ..I make some every year
We are planning to make some cordial with it soon!!
You have a great friend (Richard) he is very nice to help do the shed! What a beautiful job he did! I think the garlic looked amazing, you really know your stuff Sarah. Continue to enjoy your life in Sky you both certainly deserve it! It’s lovely there and Jack really enjoys it also 🥰🥰🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Poor Sarah in the outro, lol! but Willie's right, we love the corny jokes/bits!
Love all that you are doing - thanks for letting us be apart of your Skye life 👍
Lovely, really enjoyed it as always. Been looking forward to ^pm all day. I would'nt have to go forraging for wild garlic as I have loads of it in the garden but I like your recipe and I love walnuts toasted or not. I actually had 6 off my tree this year because I tied dog doings bags over them to fool the squirrels. The shed is looking great but I thought you said you were going to pieces of wood on the corners??? Stay safe and out of trouble you three.
Grand how well the shed has come on now you have had better weather drum kit I wonder what will be next how did Jack take to them good luck till next time the oldies 👋🤗👍
