[@katesheppard7849]

So sweet to hear how much Willy missed Sarah. I think he was as happy as the pups to see her back home xxx I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder!

[@stever2583]

Long string between... Best of both worlds

[@SimonPower65]

Willie there is nothing in life better than sharing it with a good woman. You and Sarah make a lovely couple and the respect and love you have for each other is obvious and heartwarming. Are you still a three car family? ❤

[@livingtheskyelife]

Just the two now! Managed to sell Willie’s old car here on Skye 😊

[@SimonPower65]

@livingtheskyelife not so bad Sarah. Hope you've stashed the money for coffee and cakes lol.

[@lovealwaysmom]

@livingtheskyelife Willie, it was heartwarming to see and hear you express deep love and respect for Sarah. Sarah, glad to hear your loving advise to Willie to relax and enjoy the bonding with the boys. The long trip to see family and friends must have been worth the time. Literally and figuratively. On another, have you thought of doing some drawings or paintings from your trip?

[@barbibaumgartner6229]

Oh my gosh the sound of Nori’s galloping feet is so cute!

[@michaelsherck5099]

What an adorable episode! I really look forward to your videos on Sunday afternoon. I love the sound Nori's feet make running over the wet beach. Sixty years ago, more or less, I was at Grandpa's old farm riding horses with my cousin. We had gone to the back edge of the back field to check on some fences after a storm. The edge of the field was marked by a small stream, which had perhaps six inches of water flowing through it. Our horses made exactly that noise as we walked along the stream bed and it was very relaxing. But suddenly my horse saw something that startled him and he reared back. The belly band holding the saddle to his back broke and I fell onto my arse in the water, the saddle laying next to me. The horse took off for the stable and my cousin almost fell off his horse he was laughing so hard. I had to carry the saddle all the way back to the barn and had some uncomplimentary things to say to the horse when I finally got back. Nori's clopping along the beach brought to memories back instantly. I haven't thought about that I decades. Thanks for the memories!

[@thriftytowers7160]

Watching dogs pelting around with their ears waving about and their tails wagging.. pure joy!

[@kathycruse6693]

Thanks!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much!!

[@CallumMacLeod-wp7oi]

Willie , your spot on .. the new lobster creels are fantastic but two at a time are too much mate a length between each to allow a breather between " lifts " is a great idea " think about your back " 👍

[@BrendieR]

How sweet that you miss Sarah when she's away for a couple of days. Ahhh. I work in Gosforth and it was quite nice to see Newcastle on film like that - it is a beautiful city, but I bet it was a relief to get back to the peace of Skye.

[@dennismatthews6660]

Thank you for a nice love story.

[@audreybagshaw5231]

Many years ago when working in London I shared a flat with a lass from Newcastle..she invited me to spend Christmas with her family …what a time I had ..tried a few of those pub on the afternoon of Christmas Eve …never to be forgotten …Wonderful city and fabulous folk … lovely video this week as always ❤️

[@diane8885]

My father was born in Newcastle in 1924 and emigrated to the US in 1925 with his family.

[@elizabethheatley22]

It’s always wonderful to go home again. Thank you Sarah for taking us along.

[@oldwillowtree173]

Lovely video, beautiful scenery. Enjoyed the train journey (with the sounds of the trains clicking down the track--always loved that sound!) the towns/cities and old buildings, the dog walks/dashes in the water and the exuberant Jack-and-a-Nori reunion with Sarah! 🌻 Thank you!

[@janiseaston1253]

One at a time Willie seems wisest.

[@Teenibash1969]

Wishing you both a very happy Easter 🐣 xx

[@Vikivegkitchen]

No one but Pups can give you that unconditional love and happiness when they see you again (no matter if it’s 2 minutes or 2 days 🙈) I’ve enjoyed watching you guys, and finally made it on time (Sunday) usually have no time but today 🙏❤️🐾🥰

[@sallya.2412]

Lovely and relaxing to take a train ride. Love the scenery. Nice stop off to look around shops. Meanwhile, Willie is home with the boys. I enjoy watching your videos, as something different going on. Happy Easter you all. 🌷🌷

[@Jacqueline-jk4ss]

My first ever comment . . . . . You guys make my week! I love Skye and I love spaniels. I would like to pass on my learned knowledge of switching the dogs food to a raw diet. I saw Willie feeding Jack and Nori their breakfast and remember my springer gorging down his kibble but my cavaliers gave me a hard time with any kibble or wet food I tried. Because of some health issues, Jasper needed a food without carbohydrates and we took advise to try the raw food diet. Sarah/Willie, you would be amazed at the results; 3 cavaliers cannot wait for mealtimes now! ALL ailments GONE. No more expensive vet visits. Our brand is 'Dougies' and it is in frozen block which you thaw out in the fridge over 24 hours. We also feed raw sprats and lightly cooked brocolli. You both impress me with your pet care and training, keep going and reap those lovely waggy tails and playtimes! xxxxxxx

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks for the advice!

[@paulalaurie7935]

Totally agree..raw food is the best. I used to be a puppy walker for Guide Dogs for the Blind and they always give their dogs raw food. I went to my local butcher each week for heart's, liver, offal etc.

[@miriamtaylor7518]

Happy Easter! Can I point out that Pink Lane Bakery in Newcastle belongs to the Daughter (Martha) of another KZbinr called Kate Jackson of The Last Homely House - check it out!!! Lovely to be greeted by the puppies on your return home Sarah!

[@emmageear6265]

Just what I was going to add - become one of the people on Kate's Lime Green Sofa (LGS)!

[@CallumMacLeod-wp7oi]

What a lovely welcome Sarah got from the boys on her return home from Newcastle 😂

[@amywedekind1171]

Great episode! Loved seeing Sarah’s home town…. I really loved hearing Willie talk about Sarah going home and that he missed her… melted my heart!! What a lovely little family… thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Have a great week! ❤😊

[@jacquelinemcauley6848]

Let's just say the BOY'S MISSED YOU 😂

[@celesterakhale7496]

Goodness Nori has hectic puppy energy😂...so cute!Loved your train trip Sarah...well done with keeping the fort at Skye Willie.

[@lindsayblundall8140]

Sounds like the break has been great for all of you. It’s lovely to see Nori being so active. Hope you all had a good break for Easter x

[@fairyacorn4854]

Wow what a joourey you took to see your family and friends Sarah. Poor Willie left all on his own to look after the boys and were'nt tthey so glad that mum had come home. Thanks for taking us allong on yoour trip and see you both next week. The lobster pots look great but I think I wouold put one to each boy as if you lost one the three would go if they were all on one string.

[@steveroberts9817]

Happy Easter guys and boys

[@karenombler5629]

Willie, lucky you having lobster 🦞 available on your doorstep 😊

[@ronaldtaylor950]

As Always love your vidioes it really helps my Depression so many thanks look forward to next vidio Thanks

[@alexandra2jerry]

You know what else is good…. Watching animals and babies doing funny things on You Tube. I watch it before I go to bed which helps put me in a happy frame of mind.

[@FlippinLids]

excellent video, I loved seeing all the Architecture, thank you. I get so involved in your videos because you both make them so much fun and interesting! God bless you both and your boys oh and Happy Easter 🐰🐰 🐰🐣🐣🐣 too!

[@andrewjackson5213]

Never amazing video love your dogs 🐕 I am from Newcastle

[@cameronS523]

While watching Jack and Nori snack on your crumpets, it appears Jack has learned that the word "Nori" begins with "No" 😂

[@innahype]

Brilliant stuff. I went to uni in Noocassle, loved it. Such warm, friendly and funny people. Sometimes you've got to ignore your problems and follow your dreams.....livin' the Skye life!

[@beverlyuresti1358]

Enjoyed the scenery! Thanks for sharing and always enjoy your videos ❤

[@annettewalter2273]

Sarah a very long day for you. The dogs were having a wonderful time while you were stuck on the trains, Willie and the pups were missing you heaps I’m sure. Lovely to be with your Mum for Mothers Day.

[@2gray2care]

Put those bad boy pots out on a string, but get yourself a small winch to get them up and into the boat! Have a great fishing season. We do shrimp pots in Alaska, and crab pots too. Having a winch on your boat makes it so easy.

[@robertpate9599]

I would do 1 at a time mate due to how heavy they will be when wet and full 😊

[@JansFAMBAM]

Sarah & Willie it was so Beautiful hugs Jack& Nori ❤🤗 Jan

[@SuperNickbb]

Hi guys, I'm going through a bit of a rough patch atm, but watching your vids is a brilliant relief. Keep doing what you're doing, i.e. the best channel on YT . Thank you

[@livingtheskyelife]

Sorry to hear that. Hope things pick up for you soon. Glad our videos offer a bit of relief to you. And thanks for your encouraging words. Willie & Sarah

[@claudiajones7724]

One of my recent favorites. Wonderful contrast between Sarah's travels with Willie & pups'.

[@doggylady]

Hi guys your breakfast Sarah looked delicious 😋

[@SarahHovley]

I love your adventures and your stays at home!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@denisegreene8441]

As a cdn I am not familiar with all of the accents in the UK but I was shocked for some reason to find out Sara wasn't Scottish. I thought she must be from a bigger city so has a softer Scottish accent. Imagine my surprise in hearing she is English. Lol I'm originally from Nova Scotia, in Canada, so have heard a version of a Scottish accent as well as Gaelic spoken. Have a fantastic Easter weekend and thanks for sharing parts of your life's with us.

[@photopenny]

that was fun!! beautiful city!

[@bgbaltuth]

Oh love a train ride. I would have knitted the whole way.❤

[@jenhanlon3840]

That was lovely. I’ve just discovered Newcastle (do a little work with the Uni occasionally) and absolutely love it. Thanks for sharing it. Did feel a wee bit sorry for Willie though, missing your company Sarah 🥹

[@m1klgordon]

Yes Sarah, that is the law. Greggs sausage rolls are yummy. I've missed them from being with my family in New Zealand. Never missed an episode from you guys thanks to KZbin. Cheers!

[@soulieobelissevan]

Happy Easter 🐣 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@janistotham-davies4300]

Sarah I loved your trip to Newcastle, what a fabulous city it is and it was lovely to see it, thank you very much for showing us. I also wondered if you will be making some more Highland Coo coffee cups, as I went to order two and your Etsy site is out of them. Have a fabulously sunny fun week Willie and Sarah and see you and the Wee pups next week.❤x x x x

[@faithvansanden82]

Enjoyed your trip to Newcastle and I would like to wish you both a happy easter x

[@Vikivegkitchen]

Stunning scenery by the way ❤️

[@avidviewer1]

Great video. Thanks!

[@malcolmshort4690]

A Gosforth lass same as me ,and my late wife was from Heaton . We also fell in love with Skye and went there every year . We once had a cottage at Stein for a 3 week stay , never to be forgotten !

[@livingtheskyelife]

Loved being back in Gosforth for a wee while! Even the buses were more reliable than I remember them…🤣

[@sheilagibson982]

I watched some KZbin videos of other people taking this train trip, beautiful.

[@lindagomez3114]

Happy Easter 🐰🐣 I love your train ride! I want to.go on one so much.

[@sadielevens1144]

❤❤❤❤❤😊. Happy Together

[@davidwelch6796]

One at a time with the lobster pots, lines are for larger boats with power winches. Great video.

[@angieludlam6419]

Thank you for showing lovely views as you traveled!!!

[@wendygillard2133]

Enjoyed seeing a bit of Newcastle and the scenery on the way. So many of our towns and cities in Australia were named after English ones as well as some Scottish, Irish & Welsh. Newcastle is the second oldest city in Australia and is 169 km north of Sydney, New South Wales.

[@annettewalter2273]

Those pots are heavy but should last you for ages Willie. Wishing you lots of success.

[@arkonite]

Happy Sunday everyone 😊 late today, too many Easter eggs and had a nap earlier 😂😂😂

[@suewilson1801]

I am dizzy and exhausted just watching Nori.

[@lynnekershaw5490]

Glad you had a nice time visiting your parents and friends Sarah X ps do so more painting X

[@joelefaivre3095]

One at a time with its own buoy.Awesome video or video`s.

[@sheilagibson982]

Fun to see the bridge from a lot of my British drama’s.

[@danielcargill8019]

Great architecture in Newcastle.

[@nokchilton1562]

It’s nice to be apart sometimes ❤❤

[@theresanoble1695]

I love the pups❤. I have had spaniels and setters mostly and they are the best! Borders Collies too (my Grand dog) Enjoy your channel Hugs from Shores of Georgian Bay Ont 🇨🇦

[@janemac6084]

Got to be one at a time for the lobster pots .what a great episode … love the vibe you two have together and with your boys . 😊

[@bevhenkie8520]

I must say ,love the Elvis mug! very cool. Great video. Always enjoy watching ! Hello from Canada!

[@rikspector]

Willie, You might get a small electric winch to make lifting those massive Lobster pots easier. Just a thought, especially if their full or you find your self inspired to get more of them. and you might get a gaff to lift the pots out of the water when they are close to the boat, that's what the New Jersey Lobstermen used. Cheers, Rik

[@LorraineFreeman-t9o]

Thank you guys for another great video ❤❤

[@susansmart8086]

Nice to see views of Newcastle. My only exposure to the city was the rail yard and station on my trip from London to Edinburgh.

[@jenniferfarrah3134]

Hi guys, that was interesting to see Newcastle, but I think I prefer Skye . Those two lovely dogs are such fun to watch . I would love to have a spaniel , so much energy , great personality’s . Look forward to seeing you fishing for lobsters Willie 🤞. Great video , thanks for sharing . 😘

[@stuartrogers621]

Absolutely love your channel you two !

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much!!

[@carolbulmer8253]

Hi, Sarah and Willie. I liked this video. See you next week❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vladabrms]

One of the best episodes so far! Loved it!

[@beeinthemountains2379]

How lovely to hear Willy talk about Sarah in that way 😍 you two have such a beautiful relationship. I have faith that I will find someone to have this with one day 🥰 xx

[@paulinestraker8656]

Newcastle is my home town too. Lovely to see the sights again, thank you. BTW, one pot at a time I reckon Willie.

[@denisepiekarski4159]

Love those puppy boys so much!

[@pennyneal2456]

I loved travelling by train while on my visit to Scotland.

[@alexandra2jerry]

Me too, I could watch the scenery for hours whether it was houses or fields, I loved it all. A cup of coffee and a sausage roll…. Bliss

[@DoodeeNesbitt]

Did the journey Inverness to Kyle 20 odd years ago and it is mesmerising ❤

[@janmitchell641]

That was lovely, thanks!

[@andrewsmclark]

This video totally answered my suspicion! I've always thought that Sarah looked very familiar...that's because when I lived in Gosforth between 2010 and 2015 and I regularly ate in the Job Bulman with my family! We lived in St Nicholas Avenue and I was the minister at Trinjty Church on Gosforth High Street!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Ahaha no way! Small world 😅 I had a great time working there. Didn’t have the orange hair then though!

[@andrewsmclark]

@@livingtheskyelife I've got one of those minds that never forgets a face, and when my family started watching way back at the beginning of your channel I immediately said 'hm...a very familiar Geordie!' They all said 'Dad, you were right' on Sunday lol

[@janistotham-davies4300]

I think you should put the lobster pots in on separate ropes Willie, as it will make hauling them in much easier for you. If you put them all in attached with long ropes between them I would worry that wildlife will get caught up in the ropes laying and waffling in the waves below.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Very good point. More risk of snagging along the sea floor too - as opposed to single lines going straight up to buoys. Thanks 👍

[@lou-lou1171]

I DID think I was in Sydney for a minute there. It was like a miniature Sydney Harbour Bridge. Didn’t realise its history. Learned something today. And yes, I bet you missed your Sarah lots. Good luck with your lobster pots. I would have thought dropping them in different spots would have maximised your chances of a lobster thermidor supper. 😎

[@stuc734]

Another grand slice of Skye and Newcastle life guys. I reckon three single strings of lobster pots just due to weight when wet and if you get a loaded one even heavier, unless your next purchase is a rope hoist??? 😂🤟🤟🤟

[@vivellasmum]

Another fab episode, sorry Willie I skip the lobster stuff, it's too sad! I worked in Northumberland in 1997 on a film, we used all the castles except Newcastle! I loved it, stunning beaches, I've not been back, I must go. You are so lucky in your relationship, I never found that myself.

[@meanqueensuperscrimper8908]

Thank you, lovely video. You always have something interesting to show us. I went to Newcastle on the train. Stayed overnight in a hotel, then walked back home to the Humber Bridge. 140 miles in 7 days. I like Newcastle. ilona xxx

[@livingtheskyelife]

Oh wow!! Amazing journey 🤩

[@Nath2454]

I would put a line on one on each pot so you can spread them out in a area.

[@sharonh667]

I really think hopping and “doing, doing, doing” needs to be a weekly sign off… 😂😂😂 I’m still giggling from that one😊

[@hanneliewiese3477]

Thanks for sharing Newcastle and a bit of your "younger" years with us. The towns have so much history and stunning old buildings. The dogs are adorable ❤❤

[@lyndaplancarte4895]

Love hearing Nori running near the warer as he sounds like a galloping horse!!! Lol!! Thank you Sarah for taking us along to show us the sights of Newcastle!! Received my Poppy print and really love seeing your talent!! Great job!! Hugs to Jack and Nori!!

[@aScotinmyR218ABN]

In the final frame when your are singing "Living the Skye Live" I notices a framed print of your cottage. The same print is now above my desk in Conway South Carolina. Now I have had my Skye life fix i am good for another week. Slainte.🤭

[@jackrolfson312]

That was fun to watch, Nice to have time alone. But it is always nice. To be reunited after an absence. Thank you for sharing your lives with us!

[@Ladypuppy510]

Very glad I found yor channel a month ago or so. Really enjoying it. Well done & brilliant

[@Ownedbymydogs]

Love that sound Nori makes when running through the water 🐾🐾 As for the pots, I’d personally go with one with its own buoy (based absolutely no knowledge at all 😂. Accept for thinking about your back pulling them back up with a massive catch 🤞)

[@croberts3158]

Well that was fun, all of it 💓 & such a loving homecoming frm the 3 boys. Enjoyed the Newcastle trip & sightseeing I also grew up w similar photo shots/angles of the Newcastle bridge except mine were in Sydney. 😉 Strangely dejà vu.

[@sandyprosser805]

Loved the video, great train journey spent many happy holidays in Gateshead. The dogs obviously missed you. Happy Easter 🐣
