Spring Has Arrived At Our 1840s Cottage on the Isle of Skye, Highlands, Scotland - Ep16
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 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.
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
Looking forward to this every Sunday 😍♥️ Thanks a mill! PS: Richard‘s a class fella for helping out so much!
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!
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.
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 ❤️
What a great friend you have in Richard. I hope we get to see him again!!
Richard is a hoot
cheers 🤙🤙🤙
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..😆
I'm just sending a message ❤❤❤❤❤. Will watch this evening! 😊😊😊😊😊
Sara, give Willie the recipe for making sourdough starter. TH-cam 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.
All that's needed now are some matching mini sheds aka bird boxes made from shed off-cuts.
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
The shed build is coming along well. The wild garlic pesto looked delicious.
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
Put Willie in the shed with the drums!!!
🤣 Ha! Maybe I will!!
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.
Fantastic video as always and seeing Golden eagles flying over your cottage ❤
Maybe they are nesting nearby.
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.
you should have built a deck on top of the shed for a perfect tea/beer drinking spot.what a view from there!!!!
Great work on the shed Willie and Richard. I enjoyed the garlic foraging. That was such a beautiful walk. ❤
Ramps are the first wild harvest of the year here in Michigan. The pesto looks amazing.
I sure miss the bottle site digging.
Pesto looks yummy
I was today years old when I learnt there's such a thing as wild garlic! Thanks guys, fab video as always. ❤
Willie....If you have a sunny day Don't jinx it. 🤣🤣
10:35 See you jinxed it 🤣
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
We have had several fake springs. When I got up this morning at 7:30 it was 30F.
Oh dear, the happiest 30min of my life.
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 ❤
The pesto looks amazing!! Didn't know that you could freeze it!!! What beautiful landscape you found the wild garlic in!!🥰🥰🥰
Jack Spaniels loves water and blocks of wood. Shed looking awesome
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!!
😊
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!
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!
You two are awesome people. Love your vlogs. Love from Ireland.
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 😅
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!
Great video! Richard is certainly handy with a chainsaw. Ahh, collecting ramps. You know it’s Spring ! The pesto looks amazing!
The shed is looking incredible 🤩🤩 and that Pesto ... yummmm 🤩🤩 watched the whole video as usual but won't leave essay 🤣
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 👍
My father is also a get the job done "chainsaw carpenter". 😍The moss there!! So pretty! Sadly in my part of America, criminals dig up all the ramps they can find to sell. They won't pick the leaves and leave the plant. Same with mushrooms and any rare wildflower. My dogs have their own towels and insist on being dried off first and then start the carpet rubs!
Oh no! That’s so bad for foraging 😢 It’s illegal here to dig up any plant by the roots, unless you have the landowners permission. I know there are places where there are issues with non-responsible foragers in the UK too but we always try to find places that aren’t over foraged
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
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.
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.
The people do love it🤪🇿🇦🏴❤️
I love your posts !!! Makes Sunday even more special. This Florida grandma really enjoys, especially the walks in the woods with Sir Jack Spaniels !!!
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!
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.
Gorse makes the most delicious diluting juice ..I make some every year
We are planning to make some cordial with it soon!!
Great progress and yum.
You think Richard would come help us next in Canada?
Always special to have good friends.🌻
Ha! I came across this vid randomly and never expected to see a face from High School! Richard!
Lovely, as always!
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 😉
Made my day❤
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!
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🙂
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
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
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!
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.
Thoroughly enjoy all your vlogs. Very wholesome and entertaining. Amazing to see life in that beautiful part of the world. Best from Canada. ❤
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!
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.
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.
Whee! It's years since I heard anyone say "ingress"--thank you! Grear shed! Hurray for Richard!
Hello Willy and Sarah, Love the bloopers. I use to play the drums in a band when I was much younger at 51 I would probably hurt myself now kinda like Willy did. I with you could find wild garlic here in Texas but you can plant perennial garlic plants. Have a blessed day and take care. P.S. The shed looks great.
Loving the shed. I'm getting a new shed next week . And I can't believe how excited I am. 😂 🐱 X
Jack Spaniels is living his best life 🥰 💜🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Love and blessings
Loving your Skye life from Prince George County, Virginia USA.
Yep we live in beautiful country ..we don't really appreciate how beautiful until you see it through others eyes .
My favourite part of Sunday ❤
Mine too ❤
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 ❤️
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 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 🥰🥰🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Sunday wouldn't be Sunday without this. Wonderful stuff.
This shed is going to be a work of art! Craftsmen built!
How lucky you are to have a neighbour like Richard
Love watching the shed come to be. Fascinating with the wild garlic pesto
The shed is looking fantastic you and Richard have done a great job. Love the colour of the shed what colour is it please as I have a new fence that needs doing .
Love the music as usual and it's great to hear it too in she walks she paints. Keep living the sky life!
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 :).
Nice to see someone properly explaining how to detail the edge of a roof.
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.
Your foraging bit was great! Skye is just so lovely :) Richard rocks and the pesto looks amazing. I’m growing some in my allotment garden. It’ll be a few years, but then I’ll be making my pesto too :) Thank you!
Hello everyone, thank you for another great video
We call our ramps here wild leeks, and every Spring I dig a few up and make a potato leek soup. It never dawned on me to make pesto with my ramps! I can’t wait to get back to my summer cottage and make pesto! Love this channel!
The view from your windows 😍
I am so excited to see all of the beautiful plant life popping up. 😍
I cannot get over how beautiful the views are, wherever you look! 😍❤
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 👋🤗👍
There’s some lovely wood stain colours on the market now was brown your choice or with you live in where you are Wasn’t there? any other choice
Sarah, you look so beautiful in the blue hat, with your blue eyes, it’s truly terrific match. Willie, you look good too 😉
Aww thanks so much!! I love those colours 😊
Pes to looked lovely. Use it to make my Garlic Butter and smother it on homemade bread---wonderful. Be down your way in a couple of weeks,hope we bump into each other,be good to meet you guys.
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 😅
All the best people wear PJ's on a Sunday evening x
Agree!
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!
