  • 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 welcome Sarah's family to the island and head to the local music festival to check out some Scottish bands, as well as enjoying the most incredible aurora display of a lifetime!
    Plus, as the summer sunshine comes out, we make the most of it by getting outside to give our compost bin a lick of paint and forage for some wild ingredients along the glen.
    And Willie has some new gadgets to get to grips with in our boat, Betty.
    Thanks for watching & see you in the next video!
    Sarah, Willie, Jack & Nori xx

      Well Willie I am surprised that you would use a fish finder as you are so conscience about being fair and good to animals. I believe fishing and hunting are fine if you eat and use whatever you get for food. No problem!! I raised my guys this way OR donate to homeless shelters that use deer meat etc. ( we had places that did which I loved this idea. ) But it just doesn't seem sporting /fair to have technology that finds the fish. The old way is maybe you will catch some maybe you won't. Gives the fish a sporting chance. When my husband bought a fish finder I asked him if that's not CHEATING? I KNEW he wouldn't change but somehow you are so much more sensitive to right and fair play I did think you would oppose using them.

      @@Cecelia-zp9qd Hi Cecilia I think you are being a bit harsh on a couple who are trying their best to live with nature and only take what they can use. Sarah even left that bug in the Cuckoo spit (probably wouldn’t taste very nice in her mint tea anyway). But I will forgive you as, because like most folk, you probably don’t understand (just like I didn't at one time) exactly what a fish finder like this one actually does. It reports what the sonar sees in a vertical line directly below the boat every milli second of so. And if there is no fish there then it won’t show any. Many folk think that a fish finder will tell you there is a shoal of fish are half a mile away but that is just not true. So if you are not at the right place at the right time and there are no fish directly below the sonar it will never ever ‘find any fish’. A misnamed sonar in my opinion! A depth gauge would be a better name.
      Last week Willie caught a couple of Pollock’s without using a Fish Finder and this week with one he caught ……….0
      But Willie did explain that it will help him as it shows the exact depth of water and what the bottom is like (if you are moving/drifting). It is so helpful to know this before throwing over your lobster pots say in possibly deeper water than you have lines for and or hopefully stop you losing them on very rough ground!

      @iain-xf7sp I wasn't being harsh at all. I wasn't mad or even upset at Willie but expressing my opinion ONLY, that I was surprised. I ve always appreciated his and Sarah's kindness. I believe you are judging my comment harshly ,as I have a right to express my feelings ESPECIALLY in the nicest way. Also OVER 90 % of the times I have expressed positive things to them both. Even wrote a poem for jack and I m not even a dog person but I love jack. I didn't tell Willie what he Should or shouldn't do, like he shouldn't have one ,but just expressed my thoughts. I m glad my husband has a boat and enjoys fishing, he s worked hard and enjoys it. Thank you for the info on finders AND I guess it's great to find depths for his pots. But I do think the fish should have a chance to make it more sporting. I would feel differently IF a family was starving and NEEDED to know where they were. PS I ve enjoyed fishing many years and was the last to go with my Hero grandfather before he passed. ( no fish finder.. ) I have AWESOME memories of fishing ( no finders) with my son in the ocean not long before he went to Heaven at just 20! We caught a MESS of red snappers and we went back to the beach house and They cleaned them and I fried them , made fresh slaw and huspuppies. Delicious supper!!

      Hi, thanks for your comment.
      I see your point, but a fishfinder is a tool that mainly determines depth, which is a very important safety tool. It really does help with throwing pots too, as the other poster kindly mentioned.
      But also… where is the line drawn on taking advantage of technology? Is a fishing rod an unfair advantage? A geared fishing reel? Invisible, nylon fishing line? An engine, or indeed, the boat I’m in?
      If I wanted to, I could jump in the water wearing nothing at all, and wrestle the fish with my bare hands, but I don’t think I’d enjoy it as much, and I’m certain our viewers wouldn’t! 🙂

    Firstly,those crab cakes looked incredible.
    And yea,I appreciate the mint tea,at least it is whole leaf steeping.
    Technically,that is not tea,it’s a tisane,which is a steeped plant material,but not tea leaves.
    And that’s great!
    As long as it’s not a tea bag,if you knew where the tea dust that is in a tea bag comes from,you would be horrified.
    The Aurora.
    That is the Sun,Giving his third child a little kiss.
    Always remember this,as it will indeed happen again in our lifetime.

    Such a fun video! Our spaniels also love nothing better than “ponding” ; mucking about in puddles and ponds then sharing their love and enthusiasm by jumping up on my clothes. Dark sturdy overalls/dungarees are well worth their cost. This spring was special over on this side of The Pond too with the Northern Lights and the full eclipse on display. I can’t say they were once in a lifetime events as this old woman saw both when I was growing up back in the day.

Last aurora I saw of this magnitude was back in 2003 from Cambridgeshire. This 11yr cycle solar maxima could be a good one, and we're still not there yet. Keep looking up!

    I have missed you guys! I had to stop watching cuz we got a puppy when you got Nori but we had to return her to the breeder due to health issues with my partner. Neither of us could cope with puppy energy and hospital stays but I miss her every day. Thanks for being you.

    Love your videos, have been thinking of coming to Skye by public transport, quite tricky. I managed to see the northern lights from my village in Lancashire, I had a notification, looked outside and seen a little, but as soon as I took a photo wow, my dream was to see the northern lights in Norway or Sweden and seen them from my back garden epic. ❤️❤️🐶🐾💙

      Thank you! Yes, Skye is quite difficult to navigate by public transport, but there are a few places you can get to by bus and there are taxis / private tours you can take. Have you tried The Chaotic Scot on FB? She specialises in travelling Scotland on public transport 😊

    Willie that light show was a celestial encounter, very beautiful. I live in NYC and would love to see the Aurora borealis. I hope one day to travel to a country in the north to see this spectacular event. I went to Juneau Alaska one year but unfortunately the show was not on display the time I visited🤨😏😁 , as always I appreciate your video, great week to Willie, Sarah, Jack spaniels and Nori (?

    I’m desperate to know where you are fishing. I remember sailing around this coastline a while ago. I’m from Northern Ireland and I know that the west coast of Skye, above and below Talisker Bay is ridiculously like the Antrim Coast. Your cliffs are like Fair Head off Ballycastle. The Geography and Geology are identical. I guess you are between Eynort and Talisker. Not a breath….wonderful!

    With the Northern lights in the video brings back fond memories of seeing them in Orkney when I was 17. Many years later I was treated to the 'lights' in Yellowknife NWT Canada. Now I hiv hud my "Skye Life " fix for the week and it's sunny and hot in South Carolina.

    Hmmm wild mint, northern lights, music with the folks and all the highjinx the pups can offer, wow.
    It was nice getting out on the water. Hopefully there will be some good catches.
    Years ago I found the pepperyest mint by my local river. It grows like a weed and can root in water or soil.
    I can’t wait to see what happens next week.

    I feel your pain Sarah! The one night the aurora was visible where I am (it was so cloudy lol), I had been a walk with my dog buster, I'd just got home as the sun was setting, then I started seeing loads of photos on Facebook, my old boy buster wouldn't have wanted to go another walk so soon, and I had just changed into my pyjamas, so I thought 'oh well, it's supposed to be visible tomorrow, I'll see it then', then every night after was just thick grey clouds 😭😅
    The festival looked really good, a smaller scale than you usually see so I wouldn't feel so claustrophobic and be scared of getting lost! 😂 and it's always good seeing live music in a (relatively) intimate setting.
    Willie's night sounded great as well, idyllic even, lying looking g at the aurora with Jack Spaniels and Nori and a wee dram.....sounds like bliss 😁
    Thank you for another lovely video. 🤗

    Hello Sarah and Willie, what a great video this week. I loved seeing all of the adventures at the music festival. And the Aurora Borealis was amazing. I wish I could have been there to see it in person. Willie that was really nice that someone gifted you the fish finder. I can see where that would come in handy When fishing. Sarah you're gathering of the mint leaves for your tea. Was really interesting. Information about wild herbs. Looking forward to your video next week as always.

We have it on some of our wild flowers over here in Canada and hubby always laughs at what we called it.😂 Have a great week.❤
