I tried living on a tiny remote Scottish island for 7 days. Scotland has many islands, especially on its western coastline. Trying Scottish island living has been something which has been on my bucket list for years so I decided to finally make it happen!
Join me as I head to the tiny Isle of Muck, one of The Small Isles and spend 7 days of simple living in a cute cottage and experience Scottish island life....

WHO AM I?
If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!
P.S. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from.
The 70-minute uncut version of this video, is available to watch over on my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/RuthAisling
Over on Patreon I will be sharing bonus videos, live streams and Q&A sessions.
You’ll also gain access to my regularly updated Scotland Google Map which includes 200+ pins of places I’ve personally visited and recommend in Scotland.
Plus, you’ll get sneak peeks into future projects (I usually film videos around 4-6 weeks before they are published on UA-cam) and behind-the-scenes photos and video clips!
I hope you enjoy this video today and let me know if you could survive a week living on a tiny Scottish island!
Hi Ruth. Can you give me the details of that Laptop stand please? I need one and the ones ive seen so far seem weak. Yours looks sturdy. Thank you. Rob.
If you're putting out a directors cut you should probably call it 'Never Mind The Bullocks'. Or something suitably cow-tastic. 😄
@@alzyerpal-TV😂😂
@@RDPprojecthi Rob I bought it on Amazon but a long time ago and don’t have the link anymore. If you have a browse on there you might find it or something similar.
@@ruthaisling Thank you so much for replying. A lot of youtubers never get back to questions in the comments section. Anyway....Let the hunt begin😄Ive already started looking. But im more of an eBayer than amazoner.... So i'll hop over to Az and have a scout. Once again...Thx mate.
A trick that I was taught when I worked on a farm as a teenager - always carry a stick when near cows. They think twice about charging you if you just wave the stick at them. It is useful to use a walking stick anyway beacause it can stop you falling over on slippy surfaces.
100% 👍
Good tip thanks!
@@ruthaisling If you forget to bring a stick, you could take your red jacket off and wave it in front of you, matador style and shout Ole as you sidestep the stupid thing.
( you don’t have to say Ole’)
@@kathybradbury 🤣
Hi I just want to say your videos are like a window to the world for me who can't go out and explore the landscape by myself. I feel so comforted and grateful to be able to witness your experiences and feel like I'm right there with you. Your attention to detail really shine through in every video, making it an absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you for bringing the joy of exploration and adventure into my life. Keep doing what you're doing, you're beautiful and amazing
I really appreciate your lovely comments, thank you 🙏
That cottage is adorable! I would not be intimidated at all to stay there. So very peaceful. I hope you had a special, wonderful time!
I did! I’m so pleased I went there ❤️
Love your videos. As a Scotsman who's lived abroad since 1979 it's great to see my homeland through your eyes. The only downside is you increase my homesickness terribly. Keep up the good work. 😀
Oh no, glad you get to see Scotland through my videos though! 🏴
Have you ever returned for a visit since you left in '79?
Things we learn about Ruth:
The woolly hat is not actually permanently attached.
She's never come across a gas oven.
Hahaha 😂😂
I was actually thinking 'Ruth still has her hat on?' 😆
…was thinking the same thing!
I’ve never seen a gas oven in the US.
@@numanuma20 They are out there: my wife and I both grew up with gas ovens in different regions of the U.S.
The cow was just protecting its baby
I love all your videos!
I know, but it freaked me out!!
@@ruthaisling I worried about that, Same thing as a giant dog coming.
I think it tried to give you a warning...just to scare you. 😬 As soon as you screamed "No", it quickly backed off.
If a cow is with young, stay away from the dung.. True 👍
@@andrewmaccallum2367 if a cow is with young cover yourself in dung (they think you are family;)
11:07 Ruth, the reason why we have separate taps in the U.K. is mostly now tradition and we we are now shifting towards mixer taps finally. When I was a boy in the 70s we had a header tank usually either in the loft our above the hot water cylinder to give added pressure to the water as the hot tank was often upstairs in the property, without it, the hot water would trickle out very slowly because the cold water refill pipe would feed the tank very slowly.
With header tanks, they were usually open and would have maybe a sheet of wood on top to keep out any birds or other undesirables that got into the loft.
We were always told not to drink the water out of the hot tap as you might even end with the odd spider that had dropped in… yeuch… and so this is the main reason why we had 2 separate taps, one for drinking, the other for washing. With modern boilers, we use pumps to boost the water pressure and as they are sealed, the tanks give clean safe drinkable water (if you like drinking hot water from a tap 😵💫🥴)…
Sorry about the long explanation… my ADHD affords me the ability to not be concise and to the point … lol 😂
By the way, I love this video and look forward to following your journeys … safe journeys xxx
Thank you for the info!
As an introvert, you could give me that cottage any day and I would be in heaven! What a beautiful island, I can't wait to visit Scotland! Also, I love your sunglasses, they're super cute.
Thank you!!
Hope you enjoy your visit.
Totally agree!
Snap! ('em except I'm already in Scotland..)
Ruth your channel is so adorable when you post a episode. Thanks so much for sharing your story with us that watch your channel. Quite frankly it's impressive.
Thanks so much Edward!
@@ruthaisling your quite welcome ma'am
Loved the video! But, I would bash my head in that bed!
Curry looks delicious. I have lived alone since 1976 and I love it. I would love the cottage except for having to carry all the food for the week!
WOW Ruth! You are a great food shopper; all that food for ONLY 80.00!! Amazing!
Your video is Soo interesting and fun!
I will look into visiting beautiful Scotland!! God bless
Thank you so much 🤗
Yep I'm a subscriber- your vids are sleek, informative, no loud blaring music and just darn right fun to watch. Scot is on my bucket list. Hello from St. Louis, MO USA. Stay safe and keep on traveling. Cheers......
Thanks for subscribing in St. Louis!! Glad you’re enjoying the videos.
I could live there permanently! This is exactly the lifestyle I love most!❤
I have just finished enjoying this vid. I am an old man now, and travel is a thing of the past. 40 years ago my wife and i, with our toddler son, went to stay with a friend and his dad in Bagh Mor Grimsay in the Outer Hebrides. Which was interesting and memorable!
I’m glad you enjoyed it and it brought back some memories for you!
Ruth いつも大好きなスコットランドの風景や、ウイスキーなどの食べ物の案内をありがとう。
夫婦とも70歳ですが車椅子生活で、夢は自宅で小さなウイスキーを作る事です。
個人で飲むだけてますので密造に該当しないと思ったのですが、もう年老いてしまいました。
Ruthの映像で、夫婦で一緒に行った気分になっています。
これからも映像楽しみにしています。
いつまでも、お身体を大切にして下さい。
コメントありがとうございます。ビデオを通して旅行気分を味わっていただけてとても嬉しいです。日本からのご視聴ありがとうございました。
I WISH they would build some wooden structure to give the cattle ana wild life there some cover from the rain. If I was living there or visiting I would arrange to build a few strong sturdy wooden covers, large enough that 30 cows could rest under there from the rain.
It’s nice to see you for a few seconds without the wooly hat on 👍🏼
My Grandmother was Scottish (McIntosh) and this sounds so delightful! I didn't know about so many tiny islands. I love traveling alone and yes to staying in a tiny island in an adorable cottage for a week! I wonder if the cow was saying 'stay away from my baby?'
Perhaps, you're right! There are really many lovely tiny islands in Scotland! 😍
I think I'm still staggered at the game-changing quality of the aerial video which is now possible, thanks to the automated drone Ruth mentioned in another video. Not just its compact size, but its controller-free programming, enables the filming of documentary-like sequences. I'm particularly impressed by the distance shots. To think that 20 years ago that would have taken a prohibitively expensive helicopter, and even 10 years ago a large cumbersome drone which you had to stay in controller range of. I wish I had had such a device when I explored the other-worldly landscapes of north-west Scotland around Durness, Tongue, and Kinlochbervie in 2013. Keep it up!
I wonder what is the currie your eating for breakfast. Doesn't look like fried eggs, bacon, grits, country ham, biscuits, redeye gravy & blueberry jam!
Glad you're enjoying the aerial footage in the videos. It's definitely a game-changer!
Wow Ruth, really interesting video. I left Scotland 28 years ago for the warmer weather of San Diego, California and it is really nice of you to take me back to the auld homeland. I thought I knew Scotland, but it seems that I might have stayed in Scotland but I never really seen Scotland, your video's take me to the places I would never dream of going too, though on my next visit home Cambeltown will be high on the list. Thanks Ruth.
Sounds a great plan! 🏴
Hey Ruth, a week of near isolation, and wind. Very nice video. Back in '06 I took a 30 day solo trip to Alaska, and though I did speak to folks at gas stops at the least, it was the most time I'd spent alone in my lifetime. It wasn't so bad, I get along well with myself.
I empathise with that feeling too. As a child I always thought I would be a lighthouse keeper or a Clark Kent type newspaper reporter 🙂 Pandemic isolation was fine by me.
Glad you liked the video! That sounds like a nice trip you had too!
Amazing vlog again Ruth. I’m a complete Southerner. I personally never knew these islands existed. You certainly have to be organised having to take your own food. What a lovely cottage a beautiful escape with modern amenities. The mixer shower hose that attaches to the taps takes me back to my childhood never could get the temperature right. The island looked beautiful in the good weather. I think I could stay but I can relate to the loneliness you felt at one point. Loved the tea room , the food looked absolutely lush. Your filming is wonderful , you capture everything so well and your drone footage is amazing . I can only admire your work and how you edit and put together your vlogs, so professional. Well Done Ruth Thoroughly enjoyable vlog. Thank You
Thank you for such lovely comments, I really appreciate them.
I could stay in that cottage for a week, or more! I love the way you showed all the details. The cow episode made me chuckle. My dad grew up on a dairy farm and he told me that cows don’t usually charge, but bulls do. I’m glad it wasn’t a bull! I think the cow was just curious about you. She trotted away quickly enough!
I see Eigg and Rum every day, it is so weird to see them from another angle. Especially Eigg, it's like looking at Eigg through a mirror 😊
Such a wonderful view 😍
I read that the split spigots was due to only cold water being potable, so you needed to keep them separate.
Yes, I have seen videos on the the split hot and cold water supply. In the past, the hot water might not be potable since the hot water tank was more of a "bucket" and stuff/animals/insects/etc could fall into the water.
Thank you so much for sharing. I knew nothing of Muck and it was fabulous to watch you explore this beautiful island.
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s beautiful 😍
I live alone all the time so I would be quite happy staying in a cottage like that.
WOW, Ruth! What a beautiful video - thanks ever so much for inviting us along! I've never made it to the Small Isles as yet, and while there is still time, I've a nasty feeling that poor mobility would now be an issue... I used to travel alone quite a lot and had Colonsay Backpackers to myself the first time I went there, around 15 years ago. I returned with a large party of friends some years later, as it always gives immense pleasure to share these things with others. They can be pretty windy places - but its all part of the fun, isn't it? Very well done!
Thank you for watching!!
You brought a huge amount of food with you to Isle of Muck, which is good idea in case prolonged bad weather shuts down the boat service.😊❤
I would be too lonely, need my buds with me, and dogs
Love your giggles! Lol
Good point actually! Lots of it was long life so I could bring it back with me!
Good Lord Ruth, 1kg of Porridge, 6 Tins of Beans, Dozen Eggs and the all Important Whisky, Sorted.
😄
Thanks for the insight, into places most people will never be able to travel to. Great job. Thanks Miss Ruth.
I’m so glad to be able to show these beautiful places!
Great video again Ruth what a beautiful island.
It really is!
Your presentations are fantastic Ruth. Keep filming and going where you want, we all love it.
Thank you, I will!
What an interesting video. I appreciate both the efforts to get good footage & hearing your thoughts and impressions. The island looks wild & beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏
you are Scottish tourism number one............... thanks for such a professional video................ love them.
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate the comments.
Wonderful video! I live on an island on the Maine coast (US) and take a trip for the day each summer to an island called, Monhegan, which is about 12 miles out to sea. They have about 60-70 residents and I would love to spend Sept-April out there to see how life is on an island so far away. I would love to visit Muck, spending hours just exploring and taking photos. Loved the cow, she probably felt you were going to get too close to the babies, silly cow. They also have a shop there called "Winterworks" that has craft items from the residents on the island. I hope you didn't have too many groceries to take back with you. Thank you for taking us along on this trip.
That sounds lovely and would be nice to experience winter out there in the off-season! I had about 3/4 of a bag of food left over!
I could easily spend a week in this cottage. I usually travel alone. Last year I spent six weeks alone in Ireland with my tent on top of my car, it was a fantastic trip. Thank you Ruth, for the beautiful and interesting video.
Where in Ireland did you visit may I ask.
That sounds great!
@@martymartin2894 The south of Ireland, from Waterford to Dingle and back.
I've seen muck, no muck to speak of here. Tis a beautiful island and you adorn it with delightful sight and sound expressions, even got hungry with that curry & naan. The cottage is absolutely inviting and I haven't made it halfway through the video without responding to this uplifting visual.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much 😊
Miss Ruth, you are a real sweetheart and make every video a joy to watch!
Thank you so much!
From your videos Scotland looks beautiful. I love remote maritime places. Add to that the history, and the remnants of buildings and structures from bygone times. Nice video.
Glad you like the videos, thanks so much for watching!
What a cute cottage and a beautiful wee island, thank you for the laughs 😃
Glad you enjoyed it!! It was beautiful 😍
I came across your channel a few weeks ago and I’m so glad I did. I love your content. It really gives me a cozy, happy feeling. It feels like we’re with you on your trips. Looking forward to new adventures here on your channel! 🥰
Welcome to the channel! I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content 😍
Scotland and Japan are similar as mysterious rocky island countries, although they are directly opposite each other. On the other hand, although the food culture is different with the staple food being wheat and rice, I can relate to the beauty of nature.
That cottage was way nicer than I thought it would be. Having your Starlink would make it so you would not feel cut off from the world. To answer the question. I could stay there easily. Once again, it's a great video. Thank you, Ruth.
It was nice having the internet!
Always look forward to a new video. Great presentation and fantastic production values. Just wanted to be the 1st to comment😀
Really appreciate it, thank you! ❤️
@@ruthaisling can I ask if this is your full-time job? It must take a long time to make each video.
Yes it does take a lot of time to make each video. UA-cam is my main focus at the moment.
@@ruthaisling many thanks, take care,
Cows are very protective of their calves. You need to give them a wide berth.
As another poster said, "Carry a stick."
Be careful out there.
I will, thank you 😊
I love your positivity in this video. You are a hidden gem in the UA-cam world and people need to know about you.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
You visited Muck?! It's on my to-do list! I could possibly be moving to Rum. I'll let you know. Another enjoyable video and adventure. Thanks again Ruth! 😊
I need to visit Rum soon! Thank you 🙏
You’re such a kind and grateful soul ! I traded up when you said goodbye to the wee cottage and when you thanked the isle of Muck for having you for the week .
GOD bless you
Muck was good to me!!
I'd say u meant teared up, that stupid autocorrect does that to me alot also. I read everything now before I post.
Far and beyond a great video of your time traveling around. I love the way you present the context, no doubt you do explain so many topics. Thanks Ruth it's quite a impressive video.
Thanks Edward!
@@ruthaisling no pressure
Thank you so much Ruth, for the beautiful video they are so educational. Very nice accommodation which was well heated, just what you wanted. Regards, Andrew.
Thanks Andrew, glad you liked the video!
We use to have separate taps all over the USA; but they changed the regulations to only using mixing taps on all new insulations years ago.
You get a different perspective on life when you are cut off from the mainland. I at least had my car on the Isle of Lewis & Harris so I was able to explore a bit but it is a much bigger piece of land. It can be difficult when you have no one to speak to on an island. when I first moved there I could go all weekend without talking to anyone but I soon made friends and island life improved as in the main most people are very friendly. My boss in Glasgow was always surprised why I always spoke about the weather when he phoned me but you are very dependent on the weather for travelling whether by sea or air and whether newspapers and or fresh food and groceries were going to make it across the sea. Cows can become a little unpredictable when they have calves at foot so it is always advisable to give them a wide berth but at least they don't bite. I have not been to those islands but they have a certain appeal and I could hunker down with some good books quite happily. If you like to read the author Peter May has a trilogy set on the Isle of Lewis that I highly recommend.
Really great video. Never seen Gia so looks good. Your pack looks heavy. Never camped anymore than two nights so admire the way you make it look easy. Great viewing look forward to the next trip.
Glad you enjoyed your stay in the lsle of Muck, - looks very interesting, hope you have had a safe journey home.
Thank you! It was so nice.
After that dog and now the cow Ruth, promise me you won't visit anywhere where they have Bears. 🐻🐻❄🐼🐨
Wow, what a beautiful place. You asked if anyone could live there for a week, well forget that, I want to live there forever I would move in straight away if I could. That shower brought back some great memories of my childhood because that's how we used to shower.
Loved the line only bought small bottles of Whisky because I don't think I would have been able to drink a full bottle (ARE YOU SURE)
You seemed surprised when you stepped in all that mud,. Ruth what's the name of the island again lol Also I spotted the the edit during your last meal when you grabbed the whisky, you were just about to down it from the bottle then suddenly jump cut and there's a glass on the table Hehehe
Day one you weren't certain if you could last a week but you did it 👍👍 Another fantastic video, Ruth. Well done getting to the top of that bloody windy hill too.
Silly question, however, is camping aloud ?
Haha thank you for watching! I’m surprised you notified that about the whisky at the end 😂😂
I think it is possible to camp but it’s probably best to check with the island first!
Hopefully I won’t be meeting any bears any time soon!
@@ruthaisling Thanks for the info Ruth.
Glad to see there is a man going to assist you with the meals ( Russell Hobbs) 😄
I'll be able to stay there forever, just need a small boat
Very helpful 😂
😆
One technique I use to re ground myself is sit on a beach with surf rolling in. Make a note of when you sit down, then turn off all tech. Just concentrate on the breaking waves. Get in tune with them. At some point you will come back to reality. Be amazed how long you have spent. Could easy be a couple of hours. Looks a fabulous place to visit. Being by yourself has its advantages but sometimes it is nice to share the days adventures with someone.
Thanks for sharing!
Ruth; another grand tour! The wind was bizarre! Lovely adventure. Bill.
Thank you Bill 🙏
I am of Scottish ancestry, Douglas clan,I live in the USA, thank you for showing me scotland!
Thanks for watching from the USA!
さすが！良い動画です。編集も素晴らしいですね😃👍
本当にありがとう 🙏
Thanks a million Ruth, You certainly make the out door lovers to fall in love with beautiful Scotland.
Thanks for watching the video! 😊
Yes.
I love living alone.
It was a very nice trip to the island of Muck you had.
The accommodation was great.
I was just thinking that the cows might be curious about you.
But it was not aggressive and obeyed when you told it not to come.
It was nice to see.
They were happy people you met at the tea house.
Eigg with its cloud on reminded me of Cape Town and its Table Mountain with its tablecloth. Lovely!
Love that! Thanks 🙏
Scottish Island life for 7 days…again a most wonderful presentation.Your effervescent and lovely personality make viewing such an enormous pleasure.Thank you.
thank you so much 😊
Lovely destination and time Ruth San, I'd love to do an extended stay there, hope you can take us on some more Island adventures!
Thank you! Will do!
I enjoyed the day in the life type video format. Muck looks like a lovely place. Also your shopping looked like the perfect shop. Some tasy food there.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Ruth your channel is amazing, you post a episode. Thanks you very much for your sharing your story with us. Love you as friend
Thank you so much!
Another fantastic video Ruth! Thank you for taking us along. Best wishes!
Glad you enjoyed it!
New subscriber, just found. Absolutely taken back how good you and your videos are.
OMG Scotland is just the most amazing and beautiful place, the people to go with it too! I dream about places like this, I actually never knew they existed. Ruth you are a credit to your country, and one of the nicest people on this planet. Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
Thank you for sharing your weeks experience in such a remote and beautiful island.
The cottage looked spotless and very comfortable.
Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was a great experience.
In my part of Canada (southwest Ontario) hot and cold taps were separated(like the U.K.), and houses did not have showers, but in the last 70 years homes have had combined hot and cold water in one tap, and showering has now become the norm. 😊
Thanks for the info!
Oh my, I really enjoy all your videos❤️……thank you for taking the time to make them, as well as share them.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching 🙏
I'm new to your channel but wow, Ruth! There is something so genuine about you and your videos. I feel like I'm tagging along and it's so relaxing!
Thank you so much! Enjoy the channel..
I simply adore your videos. In fact, your channel is quickly becoming one of my favoritse. I'm moving to Ireland this fall... With a planned month in Scotland in January... I'm basing myself out of Dundee so I can drive around to all the lovely cities like Fife, Stirling, St. Andrews, Edinburgh, etc. but still have a comfy home base. Your videos -- and you as a person -- really inspire me as my time of adventure draws closer and closer! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much 😊 How exciting that you’re moving to Ireland!
Hello ruth! Big fan of Scottish videos. Keep it up. God bless you from Pakistan
Thanks so much for watching from Pakistan, would love to visit your country someday
Your videos are so interesting to me! I love learning about and seeing all the beautiful places you visit!
So happy I found your channel!! ❤
Thank you so much for watching!
Grateful for you showing us such amazing Scottish Island scenery! We look forward to your next upload! Have an awesome and have a nice day
Thank you so much 😊 You too!
What a great place to relax - slow living. The contrasting weather and scenery, fantastic
Amazing Ruth❤❤Thanks you
Thank you 🙏
Thanks again Ruth for another great video
Thanks for watching! 🙏
That was a beautiful and inspiring adventure, I'm so glad you made this trip and shared it with us. I'm glad you weren't harmed by any of the island animals. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love your channel! It’s so fun living through your adventures! 💕
Glad you enjoy it!
That island is gorgeous! Thanks for taking us along. 😊
It was a pleasure!!
It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Keep at it. Your videos are always a warm welcome to places I still have to visit. Also very professionally done and edited.
Thank you so much 😊
Great video as always. You are just getting better and better at this X You are amazing ❤
Thank you so much!!
It’s so nice to share your adventures. What a lovely island.
It really is! Glad you enjoyed it!
Ruth you do an amazing job with your videos and explain everything so well. I learn so much from your videos.
I'm so glad!
Beautiful island and stunning views of the other islands, lovely video xx
Thanks so much! I appreciate your comments 🙏
I recently discovered your channel; my family and I will be going to the Highlands this fall/winter. I love your content, it's so well produced and thoughtful. Thank you for the great ideas for our journey. I've wanted to visit Scotland my whole life and seeing all these places is making me so excited for our visit.
Have a wonderful trip and I’m glad I’ve given you a few ideas!!
Hi Ruth, im a newbie to your channel and felt compelled to drop you a wee message. Im in my 40's, from Aberdeenshire and getting out exploring i have found helps with mental health better than anything. I love our country. It is also on my bucket list to spend time in the tiny Scottish isles!
Would you possibly mention in any of your places if you know whether they are dog friendly?
Thank you for your videos, im binge watching as we speak. They are informative, clear, easy to listen to and a joy to watch so thank you.
All the best in your future adventures Ruth 🙂💕
Thank you so much. I can try mentioning it in future. I think Muck would be a good place to bring a dog but you would need to check if the holiday accommodation or ferry accept dogs.
Another well presented and wonderful video Ruth, the remoteness is fab and you just do things at your leisure. 🥃🏴
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful video Ruth! I’ve recently found your channel and I’m really enjoying your videos, you are so relatable! I recently found out that I have Scottish ancestry so these videos have really given me a taste for Scotland! The scenery is so beautiful! ❤️❤️
Thank you so much! I’m so pleased you’re enjoying the videos.
Yes! I could definitely stay! My daughters are bringing me to Scotland for my first visit in November. Our family roots are predominantly Scottish all the way back to 1052. I’ll be watching all of your episodes to learn as much as possible! Thanks for sharing! Stay safe!
Hope you enjoy your trip!!
Fantastic, Ruth! I could do a week there for sure. The geology of the island looks very interesting as well. Hi to Ernie!
So kind of you Ruth to take us that watch your channel with you on your journey's. Your the best makes me feel sad for the rest.
Thank you Edward!
Wonderful video Ruth! Beautiful island! Looks like so much fun. I know it was challenging but looks like it was worth the trip. The tea shop looked so nice! Thank so much for showing us your beautiful country!! ❤
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks Ruth for another excellent video. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your Vlogs and, yes, I think the cottage would be a great place to stay. 😀
Thank you so much!
