    I really adore listening to you. You are so sweet. Your love for Scotland, the beauty of colors, your fresh, genuine conversation with your viewers, is so peaceful and interesting. I am so much older than you. You are about my Granddaughter’s age. You and your videos are like a breath of fresh air💕💕💕 Thank you for sharing your love of all things beautiful with us.😍 Nana

      The trick is to go slow..but in really heavy wind the battery dies within 15 minutes, so short trips are key

    Oh, forgot to tell you how much I love the Ariel photography, it gives everything a whole new perspective. What amazing beauty in the abstract views of the ocean against the land and sky!! 🥹🥹🥹❤️ Where I am is mid summer, now. It should be reasonably warm there right now, too. Wishing you bright sunshine and much happiness with “Wolfe”…😊

    Sarah, On this Christmas Eve, I want to thank you for the many gifts you have given me. Your celebration of beautiful Scotland in your sketches, photos, paintings and video stories has given me so much joy. May lots of rest, reflection, nature and your family (Wolfe and kitties) help you thrive this Winter Solstice. Best, Sheila from northwest Oregon.

I like going shopping with you too. At 75 I probably won’t be able to visit Scotland again, so these videos are precious to me. Thank you. ❤️

    Dear Sarah, thank you so much for this great journey you allow us to witness. I'm always looking forward to getting my slice of coziness watching your beautiful videos, photographs and art. I remember how much different the light was when I lived in SW England in comparison to the light in Prague. I'm feeling a bit nostalgic :) I wish you a wonderful 2022 - a year of calm, balance and energy recharging. If you ever find yourself in Prague, or anywhere else in Czechia, I'd be very happy to show you around!

    When you posted on Instagram yesterday that you were signing off until after the 1st of January, I was like, "Dang!" So I was happy to find this video pop up this morning because I'm starting to need a "Scotland Fix" now! Absolutely fabulous drone footage - really like those abstract images. And the cats! Never tire of them (and I noticed Floki's comings and goings under the fence in the background while you were chatting!)
    Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy your 'break' - you deserve some time off to chill and enjoy your surroundings.

    Dear Sarah - as you have been learning so much you have been teaching us and I am so grateful for having found your channel. You have had a tremendous impact on my art and my style… and my life. (Even Nerdforge highlighted your videos in her sketchbook challenge tutorial playlist) thank you so much for everything you are and everything you bring. I love getting to know you and Wolfie and your life through this channel. I’m a Boston native making my life in Montreal, Quebec so it’s nice to hear your experience as you make your life in a new country. Hope you can make your way over and get to experience the beauty of the Gaspé region coastline at some point as I think it would be right up your alley! And if ever you pick spots in the world to do plein aire and organize it so we can join you, go camping and painting all together that would be so cool!! Anyways.. I can’t wait to get your new books in the mail and see what next year will bring for you. Thank you for everything you are and all the health and happiness in the new year.. Merry Christmas!!!! ❤️🎄

    Happy holidays and a happy new year for you and Wolfie and your precious fur babies!
    I love hearing you talk about and describe your adventures and the beauty you find around you. Whenever you say "the forest/light/colors are so beautiful!" I instantly get giddy and remind myself of it often whenever I'm out getting glimpses of nature. I don't get to see the sun much this time of year, just bc my job keeps me from before the sun rises to after it goes down, so I really appreciate the beautiful light you share. It makes me appreciate our world more.
    I am sad that you have to delay a complete break from work with the KS, but I hope that a break from social media helps a bit. Ngl, I am SO SO excited to get the books!
    Big hugs and I hope you continue to find peace outdoors. 💗

    Merry Christmas! If you can find a light box, it might be good for you. You sit in front of it each day and it helps the body feel it is getting enough sun light each day (artificially). A long time ago one helped a friend in Canada. Just an idea. It is supposed to be 78 here today and 80 for Christmas here. Don’t remember this ever happening before. Hoping your 2022 is full of new ideas and fun.
