Thanks Kevin!

Katie had a little lamb, her fleece was white as snow, and everywhere that Katie went the lamb was sure to go.

[@damienk5011]

"He followed her to school one day,which was against the rule! But it made the children laugh and play to see the lamb at school!"😊😅 & then there's the " Mary had a little lamb, his fleece was black as soot;& into Mary's bread and jam, his Sooty foot he put!"

[@allisondennis8257]

Katie - you are just so naturally gorgeous! And Scott - the botanical shots today were sublime! When you trail the camera through the flowers and foliage down at ankle height (you've done so before as well), it has for me a sort of timelessness or time-warp effect - transports me to centuries past or some such. I'm sure it's just me... I can't quite explain it.

[@Chris-cp1zb]

I think that every episode, Katie is one of the prettiest ladies l have ever seen. Another delightful episode both of you. l said to my husband half way through this episode that it is better than anything on the television ( which l don’t even bother to see what is on nowadays!) Delightful, picturesque and informative. Thankyou Scott and Katie.

[@RandallSchwed]

When I heard the elevator music I went to the lobby to get myself a treat.📽+🎞 =🥤+🍿 The moon and flowers were lovely.👍

Bluebells are absolutely beautiful and darling little Shona is growing so fast. Keep chopping your " sticks" Scott 😂😂😂😂❤

I stand corrected it is on the Island. Thanks you're right!XOXOXOXO

[@sarahmaddigan8869]

I love that I laugh at your jokes, even when I do not get the cultural references. I just enjoy your delight in each other.

[@judymcgovern8454]

Aww Shona is just so gorgeous, she is going to have such a wonderful life with you. You two are just so funny at times, what a great sense of humour you both have. May is such a wonderful month, you can see all the magic happening, buds starting to open up and Bluebells ( my favourite flower) a plenty. Great editing Scott. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Looking forward to the next episode. ❤️xx

[@moonspyder1017]

The flower close ups are stunning!! Thank you for doing that!

[@gilien521]

It never ceases to amaze me how many people tell you that you are doing everything the wrong way ! whatever you do it's not right. Keep up the good work, take care of your animals your way (they seem to be doing quite well in spite of all the random suggestions) Live your lives well and take only positive suggestions ! x

[@Ocean348]

The stone in the garden before you get to the huge Jurassic plants looks like a troll , definitely a secret garden .

[@user-zi7ly5cw1o]

Such a delightful couple! Loved the "elevator music" 😂.

[@ehpeachylove]

The wild flowers and those bluebell’s are just stunning. Those other big leafy plants are humongous…. What are they called? Too bad about the cart but def needs a good prepare. At least Scott was not hurt. The deer didn’t look healthy to me but it was nice it felt comfortable come close to you. The baby lamb is so adorable and loved seeing her play with Katie. The two of you are fun to watch and some times make me laugh so hard… I enjoy your channel so much. Take care and see you next time. ❤❤❤

[@beverlyethridge5084]

That baby is so very precious and the flowers are so beautiful

[@willaharlatt4862]

thats stunning seeing the moon roll up the mountain like that

[@damogranheart5521]

It reminded me of a scene from 'The Quiet Man.' "Tis a nice soft night. I think I'll join my comrades at the pub...and talk a little treason."

Gosh, the moon is beautiful on the water....rather breathtaking!

[@elizabethgeyer-green9910]

Treasures of nature to be found every day. So beautiful

[@Rescueluv]

What a usual wonderful video. Such different things mixed in. For me I always love the biodiversity and the beautiful filing of plants, scenery. I love the Jurassic plants the stink ones and those near the deer fence. Are they a native plant. Katie would love an update sometime about the plants you planted in the bog. Oh your videos are always full of so much bird song. Sounds. You may not notice this as you live with this but since spring it’s a background of noise. Please say hi to Martin. Hope he has a mate and buns .

[@johnroesch5704]

Hi Scott and Katie. It's Erin ogg again. I love the short on the little one. you probably hear this all the time. My grandfather family came from Scotland. I sure hope I get to visit Scotland before I die. It's on my bucket list. Love your shorts and videos

[@dottiebaker6623]

I've never been to the UK in spring, but I've heard so many people say the bluebells are just beautiful. No image I've seen of them until yours has explained this strong outpouring of appreciation. NOW I understand (as best I can without actually being there). Could anything be prettier? Well, maybe a tiny lamb nestled so contentedly in Katie's lap. And thanks, Scott, for sharing your archeological finds. You're not the only one who finds wear patterns and the patina of use and/or of neglect (rust) potent reminders of members of our human tribe who have been on the very spot of earth we are now. How long ago did the person on your island sit and eat their porridge or stew and set that spoon down, not to be found until centuries later? Also, I just want to say the music in this episode was superb - Katie mentions what the sound track to the activity could be, and there it is. Brilliant!

[@megmills4798]

The wee Lamb is so precious❤

[@robint01]

A living postcard ❤

[@gonerustic]

We were suitably amazed at the spoon find 😊 Snakes are a worry here in Tasmania as they are all poisonous - I got concerned and then remembered your snakes are mostly not poisonous …

[@staceyalbert3523]

Another immensely enjoyable episode, you bring such joy with a splash of humour that always makes us giggle. It’s a looooong week between episodes, but is more than worthy of the wait. Thank you from a most grateful Canadian for sharing your adventures. Much ❤ to you all.

[@n3rdygrl]

Great episode. You live ON the land IN a city, state and country. So saying you live on an island in the UK is correct.

[@eavesdroppin1]

Texas official flower is the Blue Bonnet and it's a beautiful wildflower in the spring. Your Blue Bonnets are stunning also. Just lovely! I recognize the daffodils, though it would be nice to know the other plants also.

[@nadenegordon7639]

What an amazing natural garden. It brings you back to life after a cold winter. I miss the seasons where I live here in Australia. I may have to move again 😀 have a great week 🇦🇺

[@SusanFawcett]

You two seem to be living the best life. Thank you for showing us your beautiful island ❤

[@lauraautry6992]

The path is beautiful with the greenery and the flowers. The state of Texas here in the US is covered in bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush. The baby lamb is so precious. Sending lots of love 🤗❤️

[@DebStyles]

Loving the elevator music and rowing music. Just made me laugh. Sweet little shona. Very lovely to watch her exploring. Must be really weird to feel like your in the middle of nowhere and then see people kayaking right past you so close.

Wonderful spoon .. mum had some of those spade handle in the early 60s probably much older than that though .Victoriana , lovely

Your bluebell are magnificent 😻. The bluebells here in south wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 are past their best now. The deer could be moulting. It’s hard to tell on the screen. Love the music choices 😆

I have Starlink in western Queensland Australia & our temperatures are 40-45C in the height of summer & we still have perfect reception via our Starlink dish. I strongly doubt that 30C would be too hot for your dish. We LOVE watching your channel. It’s lovely. Thank you both.

[@jkeilman7556]

Your moon-rise, landscape and flower shots inspire so much hope. Here in the High Rockies, the moon is the same gorgeous, but we are still a good month out from flowers. The lilacs are just showing some timid buds. You have to be the best lamby parents there are, teaching her how to play! Adorable! I feel a little bad because, if my guy had had such good care takers, he might still be around. I inherited him in return for a good deed because he was no longer compatible with his flock, but I wasn't knowledgeable enough to take proper care of him. So sad. I am heartened to see you fixing the trailer instead of just thoroughgoing up your hands and thoroughgoing it out I'm really glad you weren't hurt. We should all have a bit more of that mentality! I love old silverware. My favorite family pieces I have are worn baby spoons. Chopping wood is an honorable use of time and I chide anyone who devalues it. I can't wait to see what the inevitable metal detector turns up.

[@user-ux5qp8ob6u]

Hello from France. All of your videos are educational and entertaining. Thanks for sharing the beautiful island you are living ON (😅): The moonlight and the blossoming, what a feast for the eyes.

[@Harris70-70]

Beautiful episode, the whole island is looking amazing! Lovely to see Shona coming along so well . Thanks for sharing the wonderful Scottish Isle with us all , I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, much more entertaining than the rubbish on tv!! Now off you go Scott and chop some sticks , mind you don’t trip over the tree trunks whilst you’re at it 🤣

[@raymondporter2094]

Mad conversation at the end, but still a lovely video. ON the Scottish Isle though..... IN the UK (which comprises MANY islands: Great Britain, Isle of Wight, Anglesey, Skye, Lewis+Harris, Barra, Mull, Muck, Arran, Islay, Mainland Orkney....etc).

[@sgthaggis1448]

That Skunk Cabbage has a very VERY nice smell, Haha, Do you have any Wild Garlic on the Island? I love that stuff, was at a Job the other day and the garden was covered in it, made us very hungry though.

[@peterfarmer1592]

That Yellow Azalea looks like Azalea Luteum which is highly scented so on a warm evening go and have a sniff. You will probably smell it before you arrive if breeze in the right direction. 💕

There is a type of moss that only grows in Scotland and the Temperate forest of British Columbia Canada.. Moss is my love the oldest plants.. You do live in a Beauty 🎉❤

[@greatlambrini8722]

Line the base of your trailer with 3/4 inch ply. It absorbs the weight and helps distribute the load. Also I’d be inclined to bolt a couple of steel strips on the base to cover those tears and reinforce the base.

[@MsFlyboi123]

You guys should look into getting an Argocat 8x8 or similar amphibious ATV, there's some older similar cheaper options. Would be perfect for traversing the island and crossing to the mainland!
