[@cathmillward3585]

Don't try and rush getting back to full speed, a bit of rest time now will really help in the long run . I rushed back too soon into the mad dashing about. It took six extra weeks to get better. Take care, love your video's.

[@johnharrington8640]

Enjoying the beautiful sunshine in Portree today from a cruise ship will catch-up on your videos when we arrive back in Australia

[@globaltraveller]

Richard really is the 4th emergency service 🤣

[@HT-io1eg]

Everyone needs a Richard!

[@idalolo1]

🤣

[@Kazza_8240]

🤙🏻😄

[@Mark-cr8ks]

Blow out 😮lol

[@annettewalter2273]

Richard is such a useful and true friend indeed. Friends like him are worth their weight in gold. Hope the lobster pots work!

[@denisepiekarski4159]

Willie's kind words about his fan's concerns brought tears to my eyes.

[@icybar]

I think he’s got more than one! Add me to the fan list for both of them please.

[@fairyacorn4854]

Me too . Always look forwards to Sunday's to see what they have been up and show us some lovely scenery and what they have been doing.

[@junesawyet4539]

Agree 💯.tears in me glass eye xxx

[@syringaj4964]

Get well soon! It took me three months to regain my sense of taste and smell which has never been the same as it was, and the tiredness took ages to recover from but I am an old fart so there is that! Love watching your adventures!❤

[@ShadoBanned]

Richard to the rescue! What a superhero! 🛟

[@edie_perty]

Resting after getting a negative result is the difference between getting well and long covid. Im glad you're feeling better Willy and Sarah you're a bloody legend . ❤

[@LindseyMoody-ef6pj]

Pleased to hear you're feeling a bit better Willie. Don't rush your recovery, it's not to be taken lightly. ❤

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Good advice this. It’s not linear either.

[@debrah7548]

It isn’t! And that may be shocking, but there it is. Feel good, then don’t again. Do some extra listening to your body.

[@lilybats7215]

Richard is a ROCK STAR!

[@BrendaJBarNett]

Don't rush the recovery. Tooke over a month for me to get past the overwhelming fatigue. Sending continued prayers from West Virginia, USA

[@jenniferw1595]

5 months until I could move out of bed for me. I hate Covid😞

[@toddylu6869]

We need a Richard t shirt! Living the Skye Life with Willie, Sarah, Jack Spaniels and our friend Richard!

[@colinmaciver5187]

Richard the Rescuer does it again, Get well soon Willie and regards to all from Australia.(Originally from Stornoway and lived 12 great years on Skye until 1985)

[@purplewombat1923]

Life is easier when you have a wonderful neighbour like Richard :-D Glad to hear you're on the mend, Willie. How fortunate Sarah didn't get sick as well!

[@dianne5237]

So pleased to hear that Willie is now on the mend and has now tested negative. Yay! Fingers crossed you’ll soon be back to your old self very soon.

[@moirahanson8419]

Go Richard!! What a great friend.

[@joancline4844]

What a star Richard is …brilliant friend x x

[@theonlywoody2shoes]

You do know that B.O.A.T stands for “break out another thousand!” Glad you are feeling better, and everyone needs a Richard in their life.

[@fairyacorn4854]

That is so true and it made me laugh. Yes everyone needs a Richard in their lives, mines a Robert brother in law.

[@anoniaciesluk3273]

Once knew a guy who bought a boat. Every time we turned around he was having to fix something. In the end he named the boat “Buck sucker!” Buck in American slang is dollar.

[@talesfromthetiller]

I was just about to make the same comment, we live full-time on our narrowboat so my wallet has plenty of experience with this acronym!

[@aldapalma2217]

Hi, folks, I am a Brazilian big fan. I have lived in Edinburg many years ago and visited in 2019. Love Scotland. Your life style is inspiring. Greetings from São Paulo

[@jeannienash5249]

❤Luv ya bunches, Willie, and Sarah, and Jack Spaniels ❤

[@theresac.3216]

I'm taking a break from cleaning and enjoying your video! Thanks for posting even through Willy's illness! That Richard is a true friend and a great neighbor! 🤙

[@elizabethheatley22]

Richard really is the man! A good friend is a precious thing.

[@andrewbeasley]

Willie - Keep warm, sleep as needed and enjoy the first aid Sarah - Please release some more cups. I've missed them (an hour after the video went up) Jack - Woof, wooooof, growl, wooof

[@robreid1696]

Hi guys @woof..Glad to see Willie's on mend it really took him down, frustrating when hes always on the go.. Sarah da bones mugs look nice, must get to etsy!.. Richard is the guy, is his surname Sorted!! 😂😂.. The lobby's will be in the freezer soon,.. Great job on fixing up, hope the wee boat starts to enjoy it's new home and perhaps needs a dram poured over her keel. 😊. More stunning scenery, and that old Inn is on my list, plus a chance to watch the sheep playing dare in the shallows... Looking at comments great to people all over the world tuning in, great for you 3 and channel but also for Bonnie Scotland, loads of adventures to come, thanks again.. Can almost taste the lobster lol Cheers fea Dunfermline, Rab 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍😎🥃🥃🍻🍺🥃🥃

[@wizphotogirl]

Like you, I had covid but got I it twice! Both times, it was delivered to my home by people that were sick! I worked in a grocery store the whole time and never caught it! I guess I asked for free home delivery! I had bronchitis years before and between the two, i would rather have covid again! The bronchitis had my chest and lungs hurting from all the coughing! The body aches, ugh! Covid was like a sinus infection and exhaustion! The exhaustion lasted over a month! Stay well and hats off to Richard for his help to you guys!

[@sallya.2412]

Yay for Richard! Always there to the rescue. Good to hear Willie starting to feel better. Getting the sleep is good as your body needs to heal. Glad Sarah did not get sick from it. Knock on wood. 😊

[@sallydattoli2143]

My husband was down for 5 weeks with that crap. He is like you, always busy and each time he had a feel better moment, he had a set back. So stay quiet, rest, get some quinine (hit it's in tonic water) and feel better soon. As always sarah is holding down the fort.

[@jonap5740]

I thought quinine was for malaria?

[@mishkawp8200]

So glad you’re on the mend now Willie. Still take it slowly though! Richard is a star again - we all need a Richard!

[@felicagriswold7276]

Willie you behave and respect your body’s need for rest. If you do that you’ll recover fully but if you don’t you could continue to linger. Worse yet if you don’t take the time needed you could stay weakened and catch again! Be well and patient. 💕

[@Rose-jz6ix]

Great advice. Mum used to add a week home on top of the doctor's advice. D-i-l couldn't wait to get back to work & she didn't get her energy back for months.❤

[@faithvansanden82]

Hope Sarah had a nice birthday, it will take a while to recover so just look after yourself and hope you get better soon ❤

[@bonnerdebbie]

I am so glad you are feeling better Willie, I hope your strength returns asap. I am so glad that you filmed so much of your life so Sarah had something to put up without stress. Sarah I am very happy that you did not get that awful illness, I know what it is like to take care of someone with Covid that you can only do so much to help(very frustrating) Thanks Richard for your awesome help with our favorite Skye Lifers again.

[@carolscott4327]

❤❤🐾🐾We LOVE you guys here from Belleville ON Canada 🇨🇦 sooooo glad to hear you're feeling better Willie and Especially that Sarah 'hasn't' caught it! HEY GUYS YOU JUST DON'T REALIZE you could film yourselves washing dishes and we'd watch the whole thing!! LoveLoVeLOVE everything you share with us!! Stranded sheep, popped tires & Lobster pot knots 🪢 Bring it A L L on! We can hardly wait for the next adventure!! Xoxo 😘🇨🇦😘 love from Carol, Mike and Kiki our 🐾🐾husky fur bomb!!😂🤣😂

[@annwagner5779]

You two are amazing, and Jack, too, of course. Take care! Feel better, Willie! Stay well, Sarah! Pets to Jack.

[@BrigidC]

Ugh! That darn boat! jk Richard is Jack of all trades. A good friend to have… Glad you are on the mend Willie. Printer issues can be a pain, glad Sarah got it sorted. Look forward to watching your videos. Take care of each other… oh yeah, more Jack Spaniels please 😊

[@lindamesa5122]

[@croberts3158]

Well done to you 2 for getting thru all yr trials the last few weeks. Y're 🌟 🌟's & so is Richard 🌟 Am so glad u feel better Willie. Brave man. Look forward to yr lobsters, that'll make it all worth it. And Happy Birthday Sarah & yr mugs are Superb 👌 Y've got a winner with those, without-a-doubt. 💫

[@heatherw9084]

So glad Willie is feeling better. Covid really is nasty and it just takes time to get over it. Your remarks Willie made me cry, so sincere and from the heart. ❤ Can't wait to see more of your adventures when you are recovered.

[@susanselko-millman4889]

Glad Willie tested negative.. finally.. And Richard to the rescue.

[@janetmackinnon3411]

Hats off to Richard! Glad for the recovery!

[@idalolo1]

It is so fun to see how many people check their weekly calendars for another episode from the Skye Life Cottage! I sure do! Always new stuff to learn about your beautiful and interesting life. I had never thought about repairing lobster pots or whether sheep could swim, until today! Richard's shop is just as I imagined, though. A conglomeration of "stuff" (replace with your own word) for any & every fixit endeavour! I laughed when I read the comment about Richard being the "4th emergency service". So true. Love that your plans include getting back into your art, both of you... we've missed that! Sarah, your mugs are beautiful! Willie, seeing the brightness come back into your eyes after your bout with the dreaded Covid is a blessing. So thankful your recovery is progressing well... please remember to continue to heed your body's signals as you get back to full health (That's me, the retired nurse, speaking). Thank you again for a lovely glimpse. Have a great week! (Hugs to Jack! 🤗)

[@hillarygroundwell2807]

Glad you are feeling better Willie and don't take on too much, Sarah ❤

[@pennykaiser6667]

So glad you’re feeling better Willie. I love the coffee mugs Sarah. ❤

[@BellaSue70]

Rest up Willie and hope you feel better soon, like Sarah been lucky not to caught it 🤞🏻 😷. Loved this weeks update. Missed out on a print in the sale Sarah but I torn between your beautiful bee & butterfly and wild flower, already have your thistle. 🙂. Boy I hope the boat isn’t jinxed lol. Richard is a legend..🦸🏻‍♂️

[@juliarank7490]

Bless your hearts, both of you! I hope you are feeling better soon, Willie. You are such a wonderful support, Sarah. I hope you stay well. The new mugs are gorgeous! Loving the ever happy, tail-wagging Jack Spaniels! I used to live in Newfoundland, and there's nothing like fresh lobster. Good luck with the pots. You are so lucky to have a neighbour and friend like Richard! We all need a Richard! Take care all of you!

[@gillianmcmurray]

Glad to hear Willie is doing better. Take care in the meantime and don't rush the recovery. It'll all be there when you're back to normal ❤

[@lauriejorgensen3692]

Richard ….what a lovely friend! Cheers 🎉

[@rbmedia771]

Great to see you getting through the dreaded virus-really, take it easy-the after effects (low energy, extreme tiredness), can take months to fully disappear. And best of luck sorting out the pesky boat! You guys are a huge inspiration to so many.

[@stuc734]

Keep filming Willie and Sarah and we will all keep watching as it's a lovely way to end a Sunday evening watching your adventures with Jack, the boat and of course the ever reliable Richard!!. Glad your felling a bit better now Willie 👍 🤟🤟🤟

[@lovelyskull3483]

Very happy to hear you are recovering Willie. Covid is a bitch. This was such a good video, thank you both and Jack of course. You’ll get the boat sorted and when you do you’ll know it inside and out. Take care.

[@gerryhatrick6678]

It is Sunday and lunch time....must be time for Skye life. Perfect way to rest.

[@arkonite]

Yay its Sunday, my favourite day of the week ❤

[@peggyreid6836]

Hello Sarah, Willie and Jack Spaniels. Willie, I'm glad to see you up and about after the Covid deal. That is not something I'd ask for ever. Please friends, stay safe and may you find lots of lobsters in your traps. Thank you for a good time. Hope your Birthday was a Happy one Sarah.

[@Bulletguy07]

Great to hear Willie finally tested negative. I fall into the "elderly and vulnerable" category and when Covid began spreading it put the fear of God in me. You definitely need a spare wheel for your trailer....cost will soon be offset when you catch your first lobster in pots and rope which came free!! 😊

[@heathermcdermid3673]

So glad to hear Willie is coming out of it. I also couldn't believe how much I slept when I had it last year. Can't wait to see the lobster catch ;-) And Richard is a hero. Sarah I love your prints.

[@jenhanlon3840]

Glad you are better Willie but take it easy. Looking forward to some lobster adventures too. Btw everyone needs a Richard in their lives ☺️

[@bevharrison8157]

Once again Richard to the rescue. My husband used to say there two good days having a boat, the day you buy it and the day you sell it 🥴. Things can only get better Willie. Thanks for the entertaining vid . 😊

[@lelandpeck4585]

Glad you are free of Covid !!. And your boat saga is hopefully over now and you can get some enjoyment our of it. Hopefully you can catch some lobsters now that you have the pots.

[@Sarahscountrylife]

I think everyone needs a Richard ☺️

[@lindam4308]

Glad ur feeling better wullie, plenty vitamin C & water. Jack really is a water baby 😂 a typical spaniel

[@lindam4308]

Wullie check out The fish locker he's good. He puts out lobster pots 👍

[@cames-w6u]

So glad Covid has gone Willie! Poor you, it is horrid! I guess Richard is a wheely good friend and I'm impressed with your lobby pot repairs! Hoping you'll be getting out soonest!

[@pandrew3146]

Blessings to you all especially Richard😊

[@karenviggers7592]

Glad Willie is beginning to feel better from the dreaded covid. Take it easy give your body time to recover. Absolutely adore Jack Spaniels. He is such a gorgeous dog 🐶

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Sarah, Willie and Jack. 👍👌👏 2) I wish you to recover completely from this shitty virus. 3) You definitely didn't have a problem with your boat! Don't let this even settle in your mind. You only had a flat tire on the boat trailer! And that's quite a difference. By the way: The black round thing mounted to the front of your boat trailer looks suspiciously like a spare tire. Isn't it one? Please get yourself at least a wheel wrench (cross type). With soooo much water around you, it's common to own a boat. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and especially health to all 3 of you (plus Richard).

[@livingtheskyelife]

It’s not a spare tyre unfortunately - it’s for moving the trailer on land.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

@@livingtheskyelife Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart to my comment. I always and totally appreciate both very much (as you know). 2) Such a big wheel for the reason you mentioned? Oh wow. I have trailers too and the biggest wheel on the rotatable/turnable drawbar jack might be around 20cm in diameter. First time I see something like your trailer has. Maybe it's all different in the Scottish Highlands!? 😁 ;-) 3) Please kindly allow me to suggest that you get yourself a spare wheel now. Additionally some proper tools. Hope that the virus lost his power at last and you are healthy again. Sincerely yours

[@WendyVanamburgh]

I love Skye, but I don't drive and need to have a good plan for visiting. Glad to see Willie is recovering. Jack has obviously worn himself out. Poor dog, too many things needing his atttention.

[@heathertucker7056]

Glad Willie is on the mend! I was really worried about those sheep today and glad they swam to safety. They must be very heavy when the fleeces get soaked. I think a “Richard” should be available to contact for everyone! !

[@piatheiltoft67]

Great to hear that Willie is getting better. Keep up the faith with the boat.What a great friend you have in Richard. Looking forward to next Sunday. Stay safe ❤

[@mandywhitton]

We love watching you both can not get enough of you xxxx❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@carlarivas1238]

What in the world would we all do without Richard? He is such a good friend. I know that sensation of no taste or smell. That was the strangest experience ever. It’s been 6 weeks for me and still - everyday around 2:00 I want to fall asleep. Please be kind to your body and also to your amazing caretaker. Sara is awesome. Well wishes …. Carla

[@rdb4996]

Willie don't feel bad about not having the right equipment! Richard did not get such a fully stocked garage overnight. It takes years of foresight (or hoarding) to get to his point. And as you expand your possessions (and toys) your equipment and tool needs change 😊 (~sorry not sorry for being cheeky 😂)

[@codysmom6071]

After having two vaccinations and two booster shots I got Covid and it knocked me on my butt for 3 weeks. Glad you are feeling better.

[@dthomp06]

So glad to see you’re getting better, Willie. Richard is a gem. You’ve got a great friend there. I hope you catch lots of lobster. Yum.

[@jahmasin]

Waiting for a painting of Jack❤

[@just_me8796]

Richard, man of a million skills :D Get better soon! I wanna see you catch lobsters!!!

[@pjcat3522]

Take your time Willie, go at COVID recovery pace which is slow. Sarah mugs are beautiful. Jack Spaniels just love his wood blocks and sea splashtime. Richard just a hero. So looking forward to my adventure on Skye mid October, you inspired this visit thank you.

[@saradutoit8239]

🤙🏻👌🏻👍🏻❤🙏🏻 Just finished watching all your video's on this chanel and I LOVE them all! Richard is a real friend indeed ( and in need)☺ Love and greetings, Sara from South Africa🇿🇦

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww thanks so much! We’re so glad you’re enjoying our videos 😀

[@saradutoit8239]

😘😘😘😘

[@wayneruby1686]

Glad your feeling better Willie, top man, good job you had nurse Sarah on hand, what a star!! Loved the show and the bloopers 😂😂👍

[@sheryld1957]

Glad you got the tire changed and the boat back home. The sheep were so cute. Also Richard needs his own, "Richard to the Rescue" channel! Also glad you got the negative test. Just don't overdo!

[@janemahan2663]

Thank heavens for Richard!

[@denisegreene8441]

Thank goodness for Richard. He really is a blessing to you. Glad to hear you are doing better and COVID is on its' way out. I had COVID the Jan it first showed up and while I really was only ill for two or three days and thought I had dodged a bullet it messed up my immune system and I've paid the price ever since. That is the issue with COVID, you just don't know how it will affect you. Please allow your body to heal as if you push it you will pay for it. Make sure you don't overtaxed yourself, allow your body to heal. Sarah.... can't believe you didn't catch it as well. You must have an incredible immune system. Hope you are able to enjoy some time on your boat soon. Take care and I'm really enjoying watching you " Living the Skye life"

[@audreybagshaw5231]

So pleased you’re on the mend Willie .. but make sure to take the recovery easy ..not too much exertion now ..!!

[@lancejames9228]

speedy recovery and best wishes from Canada

[@annjarvis9300]

Awww so very glad to hear Willie negative at last take care till back to full health Richard sure is a good friend hope the boat will be ok tc the oldies 🤗🤗🤗🙏

[@pshearduk]

Everyone needs a friend like Richard! What a LEDGE :)

[@chrisberry9017]

Thank you all so much for your uplifting and inspiring content! Richard certainly is a star - good friends are beyond price! It’s so good to see you on the mend Willie - I had Covid earlier this year, and it wasn’t a picnic! Keep taking care of yourself - you’re in great hands/paws! Till next time!

[@markp7745]

Another great video. Love the mugs Sarah. Glad Willie's feeling better.

[@sheenawhyte7430]

Well done Richard, glad your recovering wullie. ❤

[@christine3358]

So glad you are feeling better Willie! Great job with everything Sara

[@catherinedeazeley2745]

Glad to see you are recovering but take it easy and Richard is a god send to you and Sarah x

[@amandabell8827]

I am so happy you are getting better Willie, covid really is no joke! Hopefully this will be the end of the run of setbacks and you will be out on the boat having some fun. Respect to Richard, what an awesome guy! 😀💖🤟x

[@readingbytheriver5752]

So glad Willie is doing much better -- and Sarah avoided positive results. Richard is a treasure. Good luck with your pots. Take care and get better.

[@tinac1111]

So sorry for the extended covid illness Willie, continuing to send healing energy for a complete recovery! (Losing the senses is a scary thing) Sara, you are such an amazing artist, and your mugs are a great addition to your products! (The mugs are very delicate and pretty shape, complementing the beauty of your paintings!) Hi Jack and Richard! I'm here for the duration guys, hang in there, better days ahead! PS. (glad for you finally testing negative!!)

[@sharonsalvatore9478]

Willie, so wonderful to see you feeling better in your recovery from the nasty “C”. Be sure to continue to rest and recover and not push yourself. Thank you both so much for the wonderful content you always provide. We truly look forward with anticipation of your posts!!! ❤❤❤

[@alisonlyons4691]

Great vlog guys, its always interesting, and l look forward to it each Sunday. Aah Willie so glad you are feeling better and now testing negative. Dont be rushing into doing too much though, gently does it 😊 Do hope you catch a lobster after all the efort. My goodness what a great guy Richard is, everyone needs a Richard 👍Take care.....Alioban xxx

[@annescanapico7168]

You are so lucky to have Richard as a neighbor and good friend. Luck to you on catching lobsters, can’t wait to see that. Btw, don’t over do it once you think you are well. I had Covid last year and while I tested negative after a month it took months before my energy returned not to mention my taste was a little off for about 6months. Love you guys and I wish all the best for you

[@juliebower4265]

You guys so lovely to see you beating the Covid battle! The sheep content so funny the little devils doing the same thing the next day😂😂 so funny 😆 Richard is a gem too! Have a great week! Looking forward to the lobster fishing x x

[@gishuk]

Richard is the MVP

[@janet3528]

So glad you’ve tested negative Willie😊….. 🤞fingers crossed that Sarah stays COVID free …..super video as always 👏

[@jenniferfarrah3134]

Loved the video of your foraging & getting the lobster pots ready . Hope you soon feel better , take it slowly . Best wishes 👍.

[@garryturner440]

Richard is the dude !!!

[@christhompson4270]

Glad your getting better, unfortunately a lot of people I’ve spoken too, including my dad said that the loss of taste and the fatigue lasts for quite awhile but does come back. Sorry that the boat is giving trouble, but thank goodness for Richard. Take care and thanks for the update and sharing your adventure 👍🙏❤️

[@debrandw246]

So glad Willie has tested negative. Please take it slow until your energy returns. So sorry you have been so ill. Sarah, you have done a fantastic job taking care of Willie and getting videos out. Love to you both. Hopefully covid is in the past. The boat looks lovely. I think you made a fine choice. Please thank Richard. He is a great friend to you and very handy repair person. Hope next week finds you both well.

[@hilltopgirl2665]

God bless Richard.
