I believe that when you find a feather, your guardian angel is watching over you.

[@hazel3564]

I sincerely wish more people in this world were as truly good and thoughtful as you two are!♥️

When you kept telling Nori to “get down” my Corgi got off the couch with a guilty look on her face (even though she’s allowed on it)😂

[@Motherhubbard170]

aawwh bless

[@belindawallace5203]

So funny 😂😂😂

[@leed206]

You need to lower your voice when chastising Nory high voice is praise. Try to nearly growl.

[@heathermcelroy3303]

Hi. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Your videos are great and natural and very much enjoyed. Hugs

[@CarolPark-o4c]

If you are going to plant Tomatoes, bury a banana under the roots - - makes the tomato strong and produce more tomatoes. Watching Nori makes me sad because my first dog looked just like him and he was my constant companion - - I rescued him when I was four years old - he lived 13 years. I am now 79 years old and still tear up when I think of him.

[@suedale1865]

I use banana skins in my garden they bio degrade slowly such a slow release of potassium for plants Great for my hydrangeas last year fabulous flowers also egg shell

[@emilygarwood1373]

I like how you will repair things rather than buying new when you can. Good luck with the garden.

[@lorrainerichardson3280]

Another Nori proofing idea would be to pull the seats out on the grass edge for the time being =-)

[@jamieloom22]

Nori has grown so quickly and is so mischievous while Jack is being a well behaved adult.

[@annettewalter2273]

The most fun I’ve had in ages. Watching Nori help you gardening. So pleased the first launching for the season was a success, Betty looks terrific. I used to make oatmeal barriers in the garden for the slugs and snails. They used to get bogged

[@andykeeble1]

Ignore the detractors. We were told we were wrong for planting our onion sets out in October, "they will never grow" we were told. Guess what, we have loads of onions each year (and Garlic). Half of the fun of growing your own is learning what works and what doesn't.

[@BMW7series251]

Fabulous episode Guys. Loved the crab/lobster catch. Living the Skye life could also be ''Living the best life.'' Stay safe and keep the vid's coming! Thanks, John.

[@Kazza_8240]

I would honestly trade my life and where I live to do what they're doing and live a more connected to the land type of life......maybe one day 😊

[@LesleyKerr-r2v]

Always enjoy watching you guys , looks like you have a very busy helper in the garden. Wait for the hose pipe, your plants , plant pots and stones are brought back to the cottage.

[@marionbartley214]

Hello Willie and Sarah, great video today. I like how you're a vegetables in your planter boxes are coming along. What a great trip out for your first boating experience of the season. I have a seafood allergy so I don't eat seafood. But I can appreciate your effort in catching lobsters and crabs for your meal. Looking forward to the next video as always.

[@darwinsfish]

Hey eco-friendly team you can get hessian netting for your climbing veg, it lasts a few seasons and means you can avoid the plastic stuff. Enjoying as always.

[@lydiaross2554]

Captain Willie and First Mate Sarah You live in a lovely part of the world Willie, crunching up the egg shells sound would be an interesting sound for one of your songs Wonderful channel. Signed, an avid fan from Minnesota, USA

[@richardwhitelock7779]

My how unusual it was raining ! As to slugs and snails the best thing to get rid of them is an old tennis racket!! Basically you pick the little devil's up then wack them for miles. Good fun and no nasty pesticides. Oh and egg shells don't work !! ❤ Rich W Ely UK.

[@dharma1able]

I could watch an entire video of rain and thunder. That part was beautiful .

[@MaxinePayne-vb9bf]

Everything is looking beautiful, I about love how your planters look in front of your gorgeous cottage, thank you for sharing your home and life xx

[@jornaune]

Mentioning the River Cottage book reminded me how much I enjoyed watching the different River cottage-series by Hugh Fearnley wittingstall. You have kind of replaced that kind of feel good-tv.

[@janeneharmon4114]

Really like the new introduction. Nori just wants to dig and have fun. Lol

[@lieuwina]

Listening to the thunderstorms was so relaxing. Nori is so naughty trying to eat the netting etc etc. It is all a learning curve growing veg and flowers. My thoughts on the matter is there is no right or wrong, there is learning and experimenting and trying by trial and error. Enjoy your adventure in gardening. That was very gentlemanly of you to let those other fisherman fish for their goods and you going to a different location. The crab and lobster dishes looked delicious and I enjoy your videos very much.

[@brackalack1]

Building raised planters to save the plants from the four legged trouble monsters was a great idea! Maybe sabotaged slightly by the handy puppy step right next to them though 😂😂😂

[@juliehucker9139]

He is so naughty, they need to be firmer with him.

[@brackalack1]

@@juliehucker9139 He'll learn. He's still just a baby. Plenty of time for serious training later. Think they're more focused on having a happy confident dog who trusts them 🙂

[@louiserayner2343]

Betty looks amazing. As always, well done you two. 🇨🇦

[@wendyagrey8768]

Coffee grounds are great for a garden and so are tea bags, just rip them open and spread around. I see Nori is the family landscaper, lol. He is so adorable and so is Jack, the sweetest spaniel of all.

[@gangstagrandma]

Love bluebells. Oooh red Betty bam a lam!

[@pjcat3522]

Laughed like a drain with Nori's antics this week. Well done for clearing beach and recycling and so creatively with your net hammock. Fish and veggies best diet. Betty looking beautiful.

[@tjs114]

I don't know if it works on Springers, but the best "do NOT chew on THAT!" product I ever found was cherry flavored chapstick, or any cherry flavored lip balm that is made mostly of wax. Rub it on the surface of whatever and the first time they taste it, most dogs run away.

[@brendashelonko2149]

Especially loved the moody view out your window of the rain.

[@DamianNorth-n5i]

Glad you got the video uploaded for tonight - otherwise Sunday night would not have been the same here in County Antrim. You guys are definitely the best channel on KZbin.

[@bgbaltuth]

Love the garden boxes. I do like to see Sarah painting. Thank you.

[@birdwatcherjean6293]

Thanks for taking us along on land and sea :) Looking forward to seeing how your garden comes along. Have a great week.

[@janetmackinnon3411]

Ah, so long since I ate lobster! But i'm going on holiday by the seaside... Bon appetit!

[@kathleenstraube5356]

You guys are liven the dream 🫵🏻😘

[@birgitriff2010]

Hello, I wish you a lot of sunshine in the Summer, Lots of fish, fun and vegetables.

[@debrascott8775]

I really enjoy when you are gardening, foraging, fishing and crabbing. Great episode!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Nori ha ha he was so determined to get in those planters haaaa the way he casually started ripping up the side of the house membrane oh I love him :) and Jack of course he is such a good boy lol fab vlog the weather looked fabulous for the boat :)

[@livingtheskyelife]

Oh gosh - he was on naughty overload that day 🤣 Jack is like a wee angel compared to him!

[@stuc734]

Cracking vid as usual...... Mortimer and Whitehouse for the Aaaaand Awaaaaay and the captains hat is a classy addition to Betty. Sunday night sorted cheers 🤟🤟🤟

[@SharmanSomerset]

Sorry it’s been hectic so getting to you late this week but as always thank you both for the reminder that a simpler and kinder life is attainable, big love to you all x

[@charlotteanddavestorey6553]

Hopefully you’ll get a good crop of veggies from that lot if nori doesn’t get there first , after he dug up the membrane down the side of your house. Love that thunder storm , I do love a good storm . Cheers guys .

[@eldcar72]

Love Nori getting into trouble, typical puppy.. Glad u guys clean up the debris around the island.. And u got some good eating there.. Willie ur boat looks good too!!!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful video as usual. Betty looks awesome, congrats on catch for first drop of the season. The scenery getting the fish box, floats ,etc. was stunning. Planters look great full of hopeful food, mine is closer to the ground and my Yorkie loves to chase lizards through it. I am getting about half the veggies I should. Oh Well. Fun bloopers. I wish you a week of beauty and peace, may be difficult seeing Nori is at that toddler stage, wanting to be in everything. Jack is proving how much of a gentleman he has become. Thanks so much!!

[@sandiandgregh]

Oh those 4-legged associate gardeners. Lol. Great start to the garden. The boat looks amazing with the fresh paint and new windows. Here’s to a season full of lobsters!

[@patriciasmith9254]

I love you r doggy music when they are running about. I end up humming it alot.😂 would be nice to here it a bit more. You certainly have a great life. Enjoy watching you.🐕🐾🐾🇬🇧

[@zoepatterson3643]

I'd like to see more of the lovely Jack .

[@jtre5387]

Well done on the gardening guys, Sarah really nailed it😂

[@Motherhubbard170]

dad joke :)

[@erink4685]

Copper tape around your veggie bed sides also works! I haven’t had any slug or snail problems since I used that and it lasts for years in all weather!

[@Carolbearce]

So cool that you can go out and catch crab and lobster. Nice first attempt of the season. Gardening is so rewarding and you have done a great job!

[@terrythomas2735]

I can’t wait to see your new art work 🩷

[@mitchellmcpherson8489]

Judy says the coffee grounds will break down and oxidize to help next year's crop, and my advice , get yourself a dump trailer and clean out horse stalls or stockyards and let that break down for a year, but in the meantime, you gotta do whatcha gotta do, we love ❤️ you all four 😉

[@ElaineR66]

“And away!” Our favourite tv series. So calming. Another great vlog from yourselves. Hope Nori keeps away from your veggies 😜

[@heatherw9084]

Well done on your planting. Fingers crossed everything grows well. Nori is so adorable and so determined 😊. Congrats on your first lobster on your maiden voyage. Have a great week! ❤

[@carlarivas1238]

Gardens are work, but are also so rewarding. It is such a satisfying feeling when you eat a meal with the food you have grown. Good job with the egg shells.

[@HaggisLite]

if you want a fun diy project with carrot seeds, you can make your own seed tape using a bit of loo roll and some flour and water for glue. Helps with the spacing. I did it for a wee test a few years back and i couldn't believe how well it worked. Saves having to thin out any seedlings which can attract the flies.

[@lindagomez3114]

I love gardens and fresh Veggies and my mouth is watering and waiting patiently for the time when they are ready to eat. Love the crab, not a lobster fan. Aww Nori still a mischievous pup ❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰

[@OrianaAnjou]

might be helpful with Nori: When my pup Samwise was young, I always kept him on a leash tied around my waist when I gardened. Funny - now as a 4 year old, its the time he is the BEST behaved, is when I use my waist leash.

[@ziluaq2583]

Thanks for another great episode Sarah & Willie , good luck with the fishing, loving the vlogs especially the antics of your 2 furry children 👍🏼

[@deedorothypapineau6920]

My mouth started watering looking at the cooked crab and lobster. It’s lobster season on the East coast of Canada now. You deserve it after all your work. It’s great finding so many usable things on the shore. I felt great empathy for Jack Spaniels being the good boy he is. He deserves a good stick. The garden is fantastic. Spring peas are so tempting I think tasting a few will encourage more growth. Just a thought…. What a week on the Isle of Skye.

[@tonyharpur8383]

Watching Norrie enjoying himself with the planting brought to mind the Cyndi Lauper song 'Girls just want to have fun', but with a new lyric 'Dogs just want to have fun!'

[@patriciadavison1486]

How does all that netting, the plastic fish boxes and other detritus wash up everywhere? Do people just toss unwanted garbage overboard, or is there another reason-like storms which blow stuff into the sea from decks and jetties? How sad to see it all lying or drifting about and potentially harming the sea life. Great video. Nori and Jack are so funny… as enjoyable as cream cakes, ‘naughty but nice’ XXX

[@annehicks9992]

Your boxes look great, love the Noriproofing ❤😂 what a rascal he is 😂😂😂 lucky you having crab and lobster, yum, yum

[@rosalindbranson3803]

Hi, Sarah, Willy and the pups. Loved this video. How lovely to be able to catch your lobsters & crabs, so fresh 😋 Hope your veggies grow well and the only advice is (from personal experience) is.. don’t let the dogs see you pick the crop as ONE dog I know now helps herself to peas, tomatoes etc Good luck 🤞🇦🇺

[@pamthomas-wo9du]

Another great video!!! I love watching your adventures and I'm always a little sad, when it's over. Thirty minutes isn't enough time, cuz I could watch all your antics for hours. Have a great week and see you next Sunday, come rain or shine!!! 🌞🌦⛈☔🥕

[@cathyferry3910]

Love this episode. Yummy lobster and crabs and soon you’ll have fresh veggies for your next feast! Will Nori ever outgrow his chewing phase? Great reclaiming and reusing stuff

[@deanneblake7418]

You really do live in the most beautiful place! Just loved the boat trip this week! How exciting watch you pull the pots! Willies eggshell trick will be great to add calcium to the garden too! Really looking forward to seeing the garden grow! 💚🌱

[@oceanluvngal]

The views on land are beautiful, but those views from on the water are absolutely breathtaking.

[@alancobbin]

I can see them chairs being moved before they all get destroyed lol,thanks guys 👍

[@AnnSarasvati]

I was thinking the same thing. 😂

[@rita1259-y5c]

Jack still has his abiding love for sticks, I see!😊

[@pennyneal2456]

Slugs love beer so put some e in a jar lid in the dirt and they will go straight to it.

[@AlanHough-p1w]

I was surprised Nori didn't just jump in the planter's. You are real boaties now good catch for first go

[@susanclark416]

Well done guys 🎉 grest catch ....good luck with all your hard work making your garden. Xx

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Your broken nail made me laugh…I can’t seem to get through any project without breaking one myself! 😆 That Nori is a real jester! I just knew he’d be a handful with those planter boxes. Looks like he’s gotten in a bit of chewing on the corner of at least one box. Cheers, continued lobster pot success, and ATB!

[@justmeted1969]

I recently watched a few videos on here about plastic welding. If you get an old soldering gun you can quite solidly repair plastic items. I got into it for repairing kayaks. And Willie can still use zip ties, just as welding rods. Thanks for the beach cleanup. Read articles years ago about how plastics from here in Nova Scotia ride the currents and end up over there in the UK. Actually Scotland iirc. All the best!

[@BrigidC]

Yay! My Sunday “fix” is now complete. Awesome video… May want to place some chicken wire fencing in front of the plants in the raised beds because spaniels can jump…high! Love you guys!!!

[@IMakeTreesSingWithChimes]

To keep slugs and snails from your pots put some strips of copper under the edge of your planters. It really works!! Love your channel, wish you could send some rain to Florida... I'd trade for some sunshine!!

[@WesterosGuardian]

Good episode that I got to see last week with the release mishap 😆

[@reginatucker4109]

I love watching your videos each week I find them very inspirational and educational. Thank you for all your hard work putting these videos together

[@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh]

If you get a piece of chicken wire(small spaces) to put in the planters up around the edges, it'll keep out the dogs, varmints, and some of the larger birds. If you buy a piece of tulle to cover the plants inside the chicken wire, it'll keep out bugs (slugs) that eat plants, small birds, mice etc. So Sarah, since Willie is the Captain, are you going to be First Mate (or ONLY mate) lol. Can you believe that there was a time they fed prisoners on lobsters? Heck, it would almost be worth it if they'd provide melted butter too. See you next week! Blessed Be!

[@geddesjimmy]

I chop up banana skins, tea bags and ground eggshells, put it all in a container and fill it up with water, leave it for a few weeks and you have a natural liquid fertiliser. The best for your tomatoes is to chop up the leaves of the comfrey plant and do the same, after a few weeks it smells like sewage but you get beautiful sweet tomatoes. It's great to watch you back in my home country, I'm living in Spain (wife's choice) growing grapes, lemons, figs, herbs, garlic and cauliflower. Hard to keep the feral cats off of it though. Great video, always looking forward to your next adventure.

[@eileenbecker9245]

Love Nori in the planter!!!!

[@elizabethheatley22]

Loving your gardening segments. I think you may have finally conquered the Nori problem with the side screens.

[@MattMandyHaynes]

Hi both. We both love your videos, and the lifestyle that you lead. Doing renovations ourselves, I just wanted to let you know of something I have literally finished today. I have painted our dated looking mahogany upvc windows to black. They look amazing now, and the paint was only £25. Ours took 2 coats and really has transformed the look of the house. As many people are not a fan of the upvc look, ours now look like painted wood and your windows (I hope you don't mind me saying) don't do your beautiful home any favours. Anyway the stuff I used was called Zinsser AllCoat Exterior Satin (well reviewed for upvc, and loads of colours). Not a normal comment (sorry) but as I saw your windows in todays vlog and I just finished ours, I thought I'd pass on the knowledge.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Ah thanks so much for the tip! We will look into it as we really dislike the UVPC 😫

[@MattMandyHaynes]

Thank god I didn't offend you 😂

[@jeansteele6586]

I used to watch on Big screen TV with my hubby , it was wonderful to enjoy together….but now …. As he pays KZbin for NO ADS… He’s unsubscribed, so sad , love you guys !

[@livingtheskyelife]

That’s a shame. I would’ve thought if he pays for no ads, this would also cover our videos, no?

[@59kiwilass]

I so enjoyed watching this video. Love the scenery as usual. Noris antics made me chuckle. Cant wait to see when those carrots start popping up. Look forward to seeing the Bluebell painting when complete. Have a good week guys.

[@annmcnamara8]

Sarah I loved your hair up in a bun

[@TheFatesLieutenant]

That fish box is a perfect candidate for plastic welding - pick up one (they are very inexpensive) and very, very useful!!!

[@smsthingz8835]

Hey from MAine! Loooove the seafood in this episode. That's living, with the boat. thnks!

[@ellenj3393]

Here in the uk you have to display the licence holders number with your float by law. Normally painted on an empty Milk carton or similar 😊 It is also the law that you apply for a licence each year and state which areas you will be fishing in within the UK Great video, thankyou.👍

[@johnsandelands4064]

Might be an idea to plant early carrots, because of your shorter season. I also plant a mixed leaves lettuce for come and come again. Enjoy your veggie harvest

[@Thecrystalhavenuk]

A magical pair xx an idyllic hard working life xx love you pair. Love Nori and Jacks antics and saggy tails too….Betty is fab, what fab adventures, you are my favs xx

[@sallydattoli2143]

I broke a nail! We just finished moving out of our 3/2 house to a tiny house....I broke all my nails and smashed my finger. My right hand pointer finger feels and looks like a big toe. Then I dropped something on my left foot. TAKE ME AWAY to the skye life. I had no idea how much stuff I had, I began selling things on Ebay in February, I didnt even come close, so much more and daily I got the lecture, Sally, do you really need that. Wow, I envy you guys and I'm enjoying a break, from the wtf, where can i put that?

[@emilyjayne77]

Hi guys 🧡 I love to see your channel has grown so much! You deserve it. Been watching since before with willies bottle digging xx

[@alcogbill]

Sarah you should paint that hammock setting with all the buoys! It looks so serene and peaceful!

[@sallya.2412]

I hope your garden grows well and Nori stays out of it. Glad Willie made those chicken wire fence at ends of the boxes. Awesome catch on the lobsters and crabs. Hope you get better weather out there. 🌞

[@mars2100]

Love the dog plant defences,lol.

[@nonna-non]

My snails and slugs aren't bothered by egg shell and crawl right over it, but a collar of salt works well (not put directly onto the soil but on a piece of plastic that I can remove if it's going to rain)

[@judithmalan1502]

You Guys - all Four! Are delightful! THANK YOU...❤❤❤❤ Talented and energetic! Good COMBO!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@bs6281]

Plus egg shells around tomatoe plants, helps stop black blight on the fruit.

[@irmibullinger1421]

Thanks for taking us along on your maiden voyage. I'm happy you caught some crab and a lobster too! ❤
