Loved this one, snow gets me excited too Sarah & I'm over 60! Nori seemed oblivious, I guess everything is new to him! Bagpipes to the bread rising - genius! I wanted to see Sarahs face when Willie upacked the shopping.... 🤣 I admit to liking Cullen Skink even though I hate fishing! I'd leave out the cream but the grated potato is another genius thing. I've been feeling rubbish today, you guys are my happy place 😉
So many drivers underestimate the dangers of driving in slushy conditions! They slow down if it is icy, but treat slush like bare road. This video is an excellent demonstration of how slush is like grease on roads. Well done Willie!! The snowy scenery was breathtaking for those of us who didn't have to drive in it.
Cosy old cottage, on a beautiful Scottish isle, in the snow with two cute pups, a hot brew and home made bread!!! What more do you really need. You four are living my dream ❤❤
At least you're snowed in together, with your little family. Thank God for small blessings! I just love your channel. Sarah, you are a brilliant and talented artist and your work is amazing! Willie, you're a wonderful musician who makes lovely songs that are a pleasure to listen to! Jack Spaniels, youre a good boy and a very smart boy too! And youre a perfect big brother for Nori. Teach him everything you know and he will do all right. Nori, youre a lucky boy to live with your lovely family in such a beautiful place. Listen to your Mom and Dad and learn from your big brother and life will be wonderful. God bless all of you and thank you for your inspiring videos! Sending my love from Ohio to the Scottish Highlands!
I live in Michigan, so the amount of snow you have is minimal to us. We are used to it. Nova Scotia, in Canada, got 5 FEET of snow this week. That is crazy snow for anyone! Google to see the pictures. Nori's look of innocence over Sarah's pajamas is so cute. 😂
I live in Nova Svotia and I was laughing at the little bit of snow that these guys got. We also tend to get a lot of icy, slushy conditions and we drive accordingly.
From New Brunswick, Canada on the Coast of the Atlantic, and yup that's just another day here - we literally can get snowed in with several feet of snow falling at once. Perhaps get some snow tire chains for your jeep to put on when needed.
I can appreciate your caution on the road Willie. I live a kilometre up a steep icy driveway that doesn’t get cleared often. The valley is considered secondary, so it’s touchy until I reach the highway. I love the baking and soup. I’m not a fan of cream. I’d usually use yogurt instead. The dogs are so entertaining. Really, Sarah, you did quite well sewing your torn pajamas. You are such a perfectionist. The scenes of the snow on trees and changing light were beautiful. The sheep and the pony foraging on their own added to the mood. Before you know it will be spring.
I have also been watching since episode one....this has become my Sunday afternoon (Ontario Canada) pleasure. I know you will start at 1 pm and I eat lunch and watch Skye life. My ancestors came from Iona and Mull so it is always a pleasure for me. BTW....I made bread this morning. I feel the snow issues. Last Christmas 2022 we got a two day snow storm between Dec 23-25 and we got over five feet of snow over the two days, and I got stuck walking to the shed with snow over my waist. I understand the snow pain. Only thing to do is consider it God's way of giving you a few days off ....
Just thinking... I don't think I have ever watched one of your videos without smiling and laughing at various points. 🙂😀🙂 Thank you! 👍 You should be prescribed on the NHS! Stay safe xx
Since I found this channel which was when you were house hunting your channel is one of my good too when I'm having a bad day. Even watching the old ones again. Thank you
how Nori and Jack seem to be good companions together and enjoy the snow ! Nori has already grown. Enjoy walkies with your too cute dogs on your beutiful snowy island Domi from France
We also had a cold spot of weather, my well went down and I had no idea the pumps on average only last twenty years. Before they could fix it we had a deep freeze minus eleven degrees Celsius. Then my cisterns froze and the pipe feeding water to the house broke. Not a happy scenario when you live on a bluff and you have outside animals Thank heavens we are back to warmer days and and the well and pipe has been fixed. I hope if you are on a well your pump was changed before you purchased the house. If it’s old I would recommend changing in the good weather. Love to see Jack Spaniel and Nori playing together in the snow. Happy days🥰
Maybe it’s because I’m Canadian, but I love winter driving. It keeps your focus and so much fun driving in fresh snow. It’s been so warm this winter it seems like every one else got our snow. Naturally happy to share! Love your content!
Ive finally caught up with the weekly blogs from the start. What a journey! What a Peaceful (except when Willie is on the drums and the dogs are barking) 😂 and Tranquil place to live. Getting 4 seasons in one day. Sounds like here in Northern Ireland! Perfect location in every way and great to see the freedom Jack and Puppy have. Thanks for sharing and Take Care
That was some beautiful scenery of the snow covered mountains. Nori is growing so fast. Jack truly loves playing in the water and snow. He is so much fun to watch. Sarah is so lucky in having Willy cook and bake for her. Thanks for taking us along with you in living the Skye life. 😊❄️🏔️🌨️🍞🍲🇺🇲🧥🧦🐕🐶
Good driving Willie. Scary times on ice. You live in a picture perfect area where every minute your in the highlands is a picture to capture. Beautiful. I love the shots of the highland pony walking about. What a painting that would be. Thanks for sharing your heaven with us. From the states here.
Loved every part of this video, as always. Your bread looked delicious and I could smell it. So happy you all are safe and Nori is adjusting well to snow and wind. THank you so much for your contribution to a lovely week for me. 😍🤣☺💜💜 North Coast of America.
I live in Australia and have only seen snow in real life twice in my long life. I hate cold weather. However I love seeing your beautiful Glenn and your cottage under snow and all your adventures on Skye. I miss your Mudlarking channel but this channel is also a delight. A life so different from mine in a temperate climate. Thank you so much.
Ahaha I’m terrible at sewing (and knitting too…)! They lasted about three more days before they came apart again. I somehow wonder how I made it through my textiles GCSE at all…
You did a great job driving in the snow. We have conditions like that quite a bit here in Canada. Jack and Nori are so adorable. When I got my puppy in the mid 1990s ( he was a black lab) the breeder told me he will chew until he is 2 and shed until he is dead, This was true. If you have an shoes you value, keep them in the cupboard. 😁
Hi Sarah and Willie, I am so happy because my friend came to visit me, and brought me a gift. It's a set of your gorgeous cards, Sarah! I am so happy to have them. If you remember mailing a parcel to Middleton, Wisconsin, well, it was for me. Yay! I told my friend Nicky about your channel when she came to visit Scotland this summer. I really enjoyed your video, as always, and I am really glad that the trip to the grocery store went well. 🙂
Lovely to see how you’ve managed to get to the shop on “C”roads👌☺️and pups are doing a fantastic improvement too 🐾❤️ snow is my lovely friend such as rain (always brings joy) and the scenery is absolutely stunning and breathtaking ❤️loved it🙏🥰
Cheers from Great White Northern Ontario🏔❄⛄🌲Normally we get about 4-ft of snow & minus 40-47, less this winter. Studded snow tires a must here, some put chains on, would either work for Yolanda? My first thought about your driveway sitch... water & slush over ice is dicey, we get that here too, esp come spring melt, but again, good winter tires make all the difference. Our dogs love rolling in snow too, its like a bath & helps clean their coats, just need to make sure they're not rolling in poopsicles (aka frozen💩) Love homemade soup & fresh bread😉nothing better to fill tummies & warm yer insides on a brisk winter day🥰 Oh another thing we use is strap-on boot cleats, very good traction for icy days. We keep at least 1-2 mos worth of food on hand, esp going into winter, generators, propane or wood stoves, lotsa candles & kerosene lamps. Lotta power outages here in remote areas, so being prepared is a must & eases worry. Thank you for sharing with us, lovely bit of land around your cozy cottage💖
There’s something so powerful about that view from your front door, it’s such a calming effect. How I would love to live there, snow storms or rain storms, it’s quite beautiful, thank you for sharing 😊
Seeing the doggies playing in the snow, the sheep grazing, and the highland pony, all just precious. And the sky over Skye, amazing! What Willie experienced is what we get here in the middle Tennessee area every winter: a bit of snow over solid ice 1/2"-1" thick. People move here from up north and laugh at how we "can't drive in the snow" - until they experience it for themselves, lol. And I'm sorry, but I did get a laugh from the new window in the PJs. I was expecting a wee rip, but you needed to put shutters on that! And when Willie asked Jack "Are ye daft?" and Jack looked at him like "No, I'm Jack!" 🤣 Oh, my mom loves your videos too. And her calendar!
Jack is not daft he is just making doggy snow angels😂. Great to see Jack and Nori playing together. Willie you are so brave going to Portree in all that water ice and snow it must have taken you ages to go there and back home again. ❤
I really love snow to Sarah, but only in picture and on the news now that I am older. Nori and Jack are so cute playing out in the snow. As for driving in the snow I can but most people here can't so I just stay home. Luckly the stores are only a mile and half from home. Have a wonderful and blessed week.
I have finally found time to backtrack to your Cullen Skink recipe, Willie. Not exactly sure of all measurements (4 stock cubes in 500 mls?!) but I'll give it a go soon. Let me and all them others know if you've listed the recipe details somewhere we haven't spotted. We are loving your continuing Skye Saga. 🖖
Hi, the recipe isn’t listed, as I never follow recipes. I just kind of wing it! I normally change things up every time I make them too. It’s just a rough guide really. The 500mls jug was just to mix the stock in. In the video I added another load of water I boiled in the kettle. I think about a litre, maybe more. Thanks - glad you’re enjoying the channel. 🙂
Here, out in the wilds, each farmer takes care of a large bit of the roads nearest them. That way, working together, we can all get out and about safely.
Nori is getting big quickly 😮. Himself and Jack are good pals which is good. We had a lot of snow even down in broadford we had quite a lot. I am not so keen on the snow anymore can’t go anywhere 🤔. Well done with your bread and soup Willie 👌take ncare and stay safe and enjoy the snow ❤👌
Gosh Willie, just watching you driving in the snow made me anxious and I'm toasty warm at home. Glad you took it sensibly 😊 Sarah, the stitchy pieces came today while I was watching this. They are wonderful. Thank you for rehoming them to me.❤
That condensation on the inside of your landy roof is making me twitch!!! 😆 Bit of Dodo sound deadening mat and thermo liner will do you good in there...
Great sensible driving. Wish more people were more like that. Living remotely we also have a landy but a freelander which hasn't let us down yet. We usually have huge bags of rice, pasta, long life milk and a full freezer to get us through so we don't have to go out unnecessarily. Mind you, we've not had a lot of snow in recent years. I would love to have seen your supermarket haul and what you got told off for buying ? 😂 Cullen skink and homemade bread. How yummy and thanks for the info. Didn't know that
Was thinking of you all, when it was heavy rain. Because you have a flood problem when it rains. But no you are lucky because you get snow. Well i am at my sister in law’s in Worcestershire. We woke up to, not being able to get off our drive for 24 hrs. The Avon is normally about 600 to 800 yds away, it is about 50 yds away from the road A44. Your two are like Haggis, love to play in the snow. Would have to leave the fish out. Allergy. Replaced by meat. Love the way Sarah is upbeat, nothing seems to faze her and you always explain things. Good video. Stay safe. ❤🫶
I can't decide which has made me happier, the bread rising to the sound of the bagpipes, or just seeing so much snow. :-) Thankyou for the video as always, it's a joy.
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" That’s are mail creed, my father was a mail handler.
What a treat to see the beauty of the island covered in snow. I have no experience driving in snow, but I was nervous for Willie. Glad you made it safely. But we didn’t get to see Sarah call you a bad boy for buying too many snacks! I was waiting for that. It was fun watching the boys play in the snow.
Willie and Sarah, I have been following you since you moved to Skye and just felt I had to let you know how much I enjoy your videos! I just love your Jack Spaniels and the little one! I think Jack is a highly intelligent dog indeed and as cute as a button! The two of you as well, of course...lol
Well driven Willie, keeping steady and looking well ahead is the key. Tyres make a huge difference too, get a good set of "mud and snow" or "winter" marked tyres with a compound that stays supple at lower temperatures.
Thankyou for this episode which was wonderful. It was awesome seeing the snow and how vivid it made the hills and surrounding areas. We live in Ontario now so thankyou again for taking us back to share in this beautiful landscape with you. Big hugs for the dogs xxx The beautiful views would look lovely in prints. wink wink Sarah lol
Hi Skye Lifers! I am glad that you are doing so much better with your Puppy! He is paying better attention to your boundaries. I think he is going to be bigger than Jack! Oh, I have said it before "I really admire/Love a man in the kitchen! Willie I have traveled in the snow & ice I was nervous with you! Cheers!❤
If I lived where you live, you can bet your life I would have at bare minimum 3 months of food storage. Willie, we would love to hear you sing more and play your guitar. Your These Old Walls song is absolutely beautiful. It makes me tear up every time I hear it.
I'd have thought Willie would wear his Loud Elephant brand thick colourful jumper during the snow. I wore my blue one and I live as far south as Britain stretches. He was probably worried Nori would redesign it.
My Pup love's the Snow to were People come and make sure is She not being left outside and getting to Frosty, She can spends Hours Playing in the Snow. Her name is Wynter as She was Born on the First Day of Winter.
I was almost as nervous as Willie watching him drive along that road. I kept thinking what will he do if he meets something coming in the opposite direction? Brilliant driving though - and brilliant filming of the breathtaking scenery. Your most atmospheric video yet. Thank you!!

Hmmmm I believe someone may be missing in your signature!?!? 🐾😂 the little one passed the message on to my dogs so I said I’d let you know!! 🐾🐾😂😂

Can you use snow chains/ or is it not the right environment?
@jeanhopman5659 Chains are mainly for heavy fresh snow or icy conditions.
Cosy old cottage, on a beautiful Scottish isle, in the snow with two cute pups, a hot brew and home made bread!!! What more do you really need. You four are living my dream ❤❤
truth
I'm so glad that Jack is there to teach Nori the importance of sticks!
And balls. And sausages. And creating general mayhem 😅
Great photography. That section offilm with the wild pony, and the sheep under the trees just was stunning.
Oh my Nori is growing. Great to see Jack and his new playmate.
At least you're snowed in together, with your little family. Thank God for small blessings! I just love your channel. Sarah, you are a brilliant and talented artist and your work is amazing!

Such a lovely message. I too, live in Ohio, and my ancestors also come from the Isle of Mull. What a small world.
Yes what a lovely message. Greetings from Northern Ireland and God Bless
Love the bagpipes while the bread is rising... could you add the written proportions for the soup recipe?
Will try and post it in the video description 👍
I live in Michigan, so the amount of snow you have is minimal to us. We are used to it. Nova Scotia, in Canada, got 5 FEET of snow this week. That is crazy snow for anyone! Google to see the pictures. Nori's look of innocence over Sarah's pajamas is so cute. 😂
Ahaha yeah we really aren’t set up for real snow here in the UK!
I live in Nova Svotia and I was laughing at the little bit of snow that these guys got. We also tend to get a lot of icy, slushy conditions and we drive accordingly.
@@livingtheskyelifeno snow tires for the vehicles?
Nova Scotia here too. Still digging out a week later.
From New Brunswick, Canada on the Coast of the Atlantic, and yup that's just another day here - we literally can get snowed in with several feet of snow falling at once. Perhaps get some snow tire chains for your jeep to put on when needed.
Anyone who doesn’t get excited by snow is no friend of mine! Love to you all x
I’m with you Sarah! I’m 54 and still get excited when it snows xxxx
4:29 The Drama of the Bread! I love it!
Here in Nova Scotia, we have a Smoked Haddock Dish called Fin ''N'' Haddie. If you'd like me to post the How to Cook, let me know.
Ooh we’ll have to look it up! Maybe it came across from here..
I can appreciate your caution on the road Willie. I live a kilometre up a steep icy driveway that doesn’t get cleared often.
The valley is considered secondary, so it’s touchy until I reach the highway.
I love the baking and soup.
I’m not a fan of cream. I’d usually use yogurt instead.
The dogs are so entertaining.
Really, Sarah, you did quite well sewing your torn pajamas. You are such a perfectionist.
The scenes of the snow on trees and changing light were beautiful. The sheep and the pony foraging on their own added to the mood.
Before you know it will be spring.
or ideal milk/ Carnation
Ahaha you didn’t see the tartan PJs a few days later…safe to say they got MUCH worse 🤣
Cullen Skink and single malt are two of the main reasons why I love Scotland - that soup is just comfort in a bowl! Bread looked damn fine too...
5:49 Nori looks even more puppy-like when half of him is camouflaged 😅
I have also been watching since episode one....this has become my Sunday afternoon (Ontario Canada) pleasure. I know you will start at 1 pm and I eat lunch and watch Skye life.

Yikes five feet..?! We’d be terrible in that situation, 5 inches is enough to send the UK into a tailspin 🤣
The snow ball game was hilarious, but jack knew exactly where it should be 😅😅
Just thinking... I don't think I have ever watched one of your videos without smiling and laughing at various points. 🙂😀🙂
Thank you! 👍
You should be prescribed on the NHS!
Stay safe xx
Beautiful landscape with the snow. The cottage is in a postcard landscape.
OMG....looking at jack spaniels at the of the video...he looks very tired...such a cute little man ❤❤❤
Glad you’re safe and sound at home.
Since I found this channel which was when you were house hunting your channel is one of my good too when I'm having a bad day. Even watching the old ones again. Thank you
Aww thanks so much!!
We watch every week. Amazing life.
how Nori and Jack seem to be good companions together and enjoy the snow ! Nori has already grown.
Enjoy walkies with your too cute dogs on your beutiful snowy island Domi from France
So beautiful there ❤. But burrrrr, that snow looks c.o.l.d. 😜
We also had a cold spot of weather, my well went down and I had no idea the pumps on average only last twenty years. Before they could fix it we had a deep freeze minus eleven degrees Celsius. Then my cisterns froze and the pipe feeding water to the house broke.
Not a happy scenario when you live on a bluff and you have outside animals
Thank heavens we are back to warmer days and and the well and pipe has been fixed.
I hope if you are on a well your pump was changed before you purchased the house. If it’s old I would recommend changing in the good weather.
Love to see Jack Spaniel and Nori playing together in the snow. Happy days🥰
Oh gosh - that’s sounds like a tricky situation! Glad it’s sorted now!
Well, Willie 🤔🙄!
I think the next expansion level or extra for Yolanda is a snow anchor 😏😬😘!
Maybe it’s because I’m Canadian, but I love winter driving. It keeps your focus and so much fun driving in fresh snow. It’s been so warm this winter it seems like every one else got our snow. Naturally happy to share! Love your content!
Fellow Canadian. I don’t love winter driving but I don’t fear it.
Ive finally caught up with the weekly blogs from the start. What a journey!
What a Peaceful (except when Willie is on the drums and the dogs are barking) 😂 and Tranquil place to live.
Getting 4 seasons in one day. Sounds like here in Northern Ireland! Perfect location in every way and great to see the freedom Jack and Puppy have.
Thanks for sharing and Take Care
I love the squadrons of wild-birds. Hope that in 2025 there maybe flocks of Goldfinches. Thistle seeds attract them! X
That was some beautiful scenery of the snow covered mountains. Nori is growing so fast. Jack truly loves playing in the water and snow. He is so much fun to watch. Sarah is so lucky in having Willy cook and bake for her. Thanks for taking us along with you in living the Skye life. 😊❄️🏔️🌨️🍞🍲🇺🇲🧥🧦🐕🐶

Lovely to see noria playing in the snow with Jack. Great video
Stunning , hope you can capture some of the landscape with your paints . Great post.
Thanks for the sewing - you made me laugh out loud 🤣🤣
Ahaha I’m terrible at sewing (and knitting too…)! They lasted about three more days before they came apart again. I somehow wonder how I made it through my textiles GCSE at all…
You did a great job driving in the snow. We have conditions like that quite a bit here in Canada. Jack and Nori are so adorable.

If you have an shoes you value, keep them in the cupboard. 😁
Ahaha that’s probably the case, although Jack doesn’t tend to steal slippers and socks any more 🤞
Willie you're a great cook! The bread and Cullen skink looks delish, and I'm sure they taste Delicious also.
I second that!
Great episode - I will always think of bagpipes when I see my bread rising 😂
Dogs (like cats) roll around on the ground to put their scent back when they think it is gone. That's what Jack is doing.
Hi Sarah and Willie, I am so happy because my friend came to visit me, and brought me a gift. It's a set of your gorgeous cards, Sarah! I am so happy to have them. If you remember mailing a parcel to Middleton, Wisconsin, well, it was for me. Yay! I told my friend Nicky about your channel when she came to visit Scotland this summer. I really enjoyed your video, as always, and I am really glad that the trip to the grocery store went well. 🙂
What a week! Willie, you did a great job of showing the tension & tedium (& the exhilaration when you don't die) of driving in bad winter conditions.
Lovely to see how you’ve managed to get to the shop on “C”roads👌☺️and pups are doing a fantastic improvement too 🐾❤️ snow is my lovely friend such as rain (always brings joy) and the scenery is absolutely stunning and breathtaking ❤️loved it🙏🥰

There’s something so powerful about that view from your front door, it’s such a calming effect. How I would love to live there, snow storms or rain storms, it’s quite beautiful, thank you for sharing 😊
It’s an epic view - we feel lucky for it every day!
Seeing the doggies playing in the snow, the sheep grazing, and the highland pony, all just precious. And the sky over Skye, amazing! What Willie experienced is what we get here in the middle Tennessee area every winter: a bit of snow over solid ice 1/2"-1" thick. People move here from up north and laugh at how we "can't drive in the snow" - until they experience it for themselves, lol.
And I'm sorry, but I did get a laugh from the new window in the PJs. I was expecting a wee rip, but you needed to put shutters on that! And when Willie asked Jack "Are ye daft?" and Jack looked at him like "No, I'm Jack!" 🤣
Oh, my mom loves your videos too. And her calendar!
Our family sit down to watch your video together every Sunday. Watching from the Isle of Arran.
Very Scary.. glad your safe... Thank You.
Timing of bagpipes!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT
Jack is not daft he is just making doggy snow angels😂. Great to see Jack and Nori playing together. Willie you are so brave going to Portree in all that water ice and snow it must have taken you ages to go there and back home again. ❤
It was a much longer drive than normal! But reassuring to know we can do it, especially if an emergency happens 😊
@@livingtheskyelife yes you are so right 😊
That went way too quickly😢😢. Glad you are all happy and warm. ❤
I really love snow to Sarah, but only in picture and on the news now that I am older. Nori and Jack are so cute playing out in the snow. As for driving in the snow I can but most people here can't so I just stay home. Luckly the stores are only a mile and half from home. Have a wonderful and blessed week.
Lovely video!

Boy with as bedraggled and dirty as that horse looked, you can certainly see where the legend of Kelpies comes from!
Cullen skink is DELICIOUS!!!!!
Thanks for the recipe and instructions ❤
A pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it! 😀

Here, out in the wilds, each farmer takes care of a large bit of the roads nearest them. That way, working together, we can all get out and about safely.
I would have white knuckled that entire drive. So happy all went well. Cheers and thank you.
Love watching your puppy playing in the snow, and Jack of course.

Nori is getting big quickly 😮. Himself and Jack are good pals which is good. We had a lot of snow even down in broadford we had quite a lot. I am not so keen on the snow anymore can’t go anywhere 🤔. Well done with your bread and soup Willie 👌take ncare and stay safe and enjoy the snow ❤👌
Loved the shots of the pony on the shore and the sheep under the tree.
Love all your episodes skye looks lovely fife thankfully fife didn't get alot of snow
Gosh Willie, just watching you driving in the snow made me anxious and I'm toasty warm at home. Glad you took it sensibly 😊
Sarah, the stitchy pieces came today while I was watching this. They are wonderful. Thank you for rehoming them to me.❤
Ah glad they got there safely! I only realised when I took them out of the frames that they represent the four seasons 😊
That condensation on the inside of your landy roof is making me twitch!!! 😆 Bit of Dodo sound deadening mat and thermo liner will do you good in there...
BF Goodrich all terrains required!!!
Great sensible driving. Wish more people were more like that. Living remotely we also have a landy but a freelander which hasn't let us down yet. We usually have huge bags of rice, pasta, long life milk and a full freezer to get us through so we don't have to go out unnecessarily. Mind you, we've not had a lot of snow in recent years. I would love to have seen your supermarket haul and what you got told off for buying ? 😂 Cullen skink and homemade bread. How yummy and thanks for the info. Didn't know that
Beautiful snow covered vistas and wow on loch ice bergs. You all take it easy and warm.
Can’t believe how hooked I’m on your postings. Look forward to Sundays.
Hi both, I love the picture of the pony YOU did ,AND I think YOU ARE just amazing. Take care and all the best. 😄😄👍👍🐶🐶
Love your vids..
Was thinking of you all, when it was heavy rain. Because you have a flood problem when it rains. But no you are lucky because you get snow. Well i am at my sister in law’s in Worcestershire. We woke up to, not being able to get off our drive for 24 hrs. The Avon is normally about 600 to 800 yds away, it is about 50 yds away from the road A44. Your two are like Haggis, love to play in the snow. Would have to leave the fish out. Allergy. Replaced by meat. Love the way Sarah is upbeat, nothing seems to faze her and you always explain things. Good video. Stay safe. ❤🫶
Maybe I'm slow to realise, but Jack and Nori......Jackanory? I'm showing my age 😂 The channel gets better and better ❤️
The sunlight reflecting on the clouds, snow and water is so beautiful. Pup fun in the snow!
It was stunning on the sunny days!!
I can't decide which has made me happier, the bread rising to the sound of the bagpipes, or just seeing so much snow. :-) Thankyou for the video as always, it's a joy.
Apart from Willies drive,I’m so jealous of the snow!!
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"
That’s are mail creed, my father was a mail handler.
What a treat to see the beauty of the island covered in snow. I have no experience driving in snow, but I was nervous for Willie. Glad you made it safely. But we didn’t get to see Sarah call you a bad boy for buying too many snacks! I was waiting for that. It was fun watching the boys play in the snow.
Willie and Sarah, I have been following you since you moved to Skye and just felt I had to let you know how much I enjoy your videos! I just love your Jack Spaniels and the little one! I think Jack is a highly intelligent dog indeed and as cute as a button! The two of you as well, of course...lol
Aww thank you so much Anne!
I love Cullen Skink! Will have to find some smoked fish and make some.
Well driven Willie, keeping steady and looking well ahead is the key. Tyres make a huge difference too, get a good set of "mud and snow" or "winter" marked tyres with a compound that stays supple at lower temperatures.
You did well with the driving, it is scary when you are not used to driving in those conditions. Taking it slowly is good.
Nori has grown a lot in one week. He’s adorable. Stay safe in snowy driving.
Thankyou for this episode which was wonderful. It was awesome seeing the snow and how vivid it made the hills and surrounding areas. We live in Ontario now so thankyou again for taking us back to share in this beautiful landscape with you. Big hugs for the dogs xxx The beautiful views would look lovely in prints. wink wink Sarah lol
Hi Skye Lifers! I am glad that you are doing so much better with your Puppy! He is paying better attention to your boundaries. I think he is going to be bigger than Jack! Oh, I have said it before "I really admire/Love a man in the kitchen! Willie I have traveled in the snow & ice I was nervous with you! Cheers!❤
Gee that's like driving in the country winter in Canada.
That bagpipe warm up with the bread rising make me laugh! And will now sit in my head forever!! Ta muchly!
If I lived where you live, you can bet your life I would have at bare minimum 3 months of food storage. Willie, we would love to hear you sing more and play your guitar. Your These Old Walls song is absolutely beautiful. It makes me tear up every time I hear it.
I'd have thought Willie would wear his Loud Elephant brand thick colourful jumper during the snow. I wore my blue one and I live as far south as Britain stretches. He was probably worried Nori would redesign it.
Yes the jumpers have had to be sidelined for a bit with the biting machine that is Nori!
My spaniel rolls in the snow like Jack, she also rolls in frost
I enjoy seeing all the beautiful snow covered scenery. The pups are fun to watch in the snow too ! ❤
My Pup love's the Snow to were People come and make sure is She not being left outside and getting to Frosty, She can spends Hours Playing in the Snow. Her name is Wynter as She was Born on the First Day of Winter.
I was almost as nervous as Willie watching him drive along that road. I kept thinking what will he do if he meets something coming in the opposite direction? Brilliant driving though - and brilliant filming of the breathtaking scenery. Your most atmospheric video yet. Thank you!!
