I’m with you there bud mine even given birth to another one 😂

[@thewatchman6074]

Over a lifetime I have come to the conclusion that sheds must shrink during the night. Every day, there seems to be less and less space.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Haha so true!!

[@abigailgerlach5443]

I think I'm just a hoarder! My attic looks like six people live here! Nope! Just one. I may have to do a major clean out too.

[@ceceliakeown5653]

Watchman thx i needed a good laugh!! HILARIOUS. I think it applies to houses too.

[@terrybull1043]

I agree with you bud my shed even given birth to another one 🤷‍♂️😂😂

[@maxine3587]

😂

[@karenviggers7592]

We were on holiday on Skye for the first 2 weeks in March. The weather was absolutely amazing. We had the best time ever in the 11 years we have been visiting the island. Hoping March 2025 will be as good as 🙏🤞

[@SuperNickbb]

Glad I came late to the Skye Life party, because it means I've still got lots in stock to watch 😊 A brilliant channel guys 👍

[@abspoelk]

It's so nice to see a shed 'make over' on youtube that is not all about making it 'pinterest pretty' but just practical and worthy of everyday life. Thanks for another fun video. I've been watching the channel since day one (ofcourse subscribed) and it's been part of my sunday evening for a long time.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww thanks so much!! 😊

[@carolethurlow9550]

I love a tidy shed . Great video. The fish you smoked looked delicious. 😋 😺 X

[@valerieboyce7644]

So great that you have collected all those fish boxes from the beach to use for storage. Win-win!!

[@pollyrobinson3877]

One of the best things I did with a new puppy was to not only do the recall with lots of enthusiasm, but to also stand with my arms up and wide when I called. So now, when our girl is too far down the beach to hear me, when she glances back and I’m standing that way she scrambles back for lovings. Your sweet Nori is getting so big and is doing so well with his training! And now your shed is sorted, can you pop by Washington state and help with my workshop?

[@livingtheskyelife]

Haha - we will let you know our rates for organising days 😜 Yes we also throw our arms wide for recall so they feel like they are going to get a big cuddle (which they usually do!)

[@thehighlandlife2023]

That’s such a good idea with the arms!

[@gavinhartin]

wow im the first viewer - not that i was sitting here refreshing waiting lol

[@sheilakerr-jones4345]

We like the idea of our bikes being off the floor and on hanging brackets. Job well done. Reorganising and labeling is so satisfying. Busy doing the same.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Ah yeah - we’d love to find a better way of storing the bikes, but not sure where to hang them 😅

[@sheilakerr-jones4345]

Ours hang off a shelf unit, one from roof.

[@pjcat3522]

Another great job on Yolande, Willie. Head tilts of Jack and now Nori just make you love them even more. Sarah you deserve that coffee and cake. Watched this from my bunk on the sleeper on my way up to Glenelg for another cheeky break😊

[@adrianedeceuninck1348]

We're headed to Scotland and Isle of Skye this June and I keep making notes of places to visit from your videos. Coffee Bothy noted! 😊

[@viridiangreen8259]

Well done Willie the fish looks amazing so does the LR and so great that you have a cafe dog now - the head tilt was priceless

[@karlanorvell9573]

Well done Nori. So glad he supports Mom having coffee and cake in a cafe. The end part was great! Silly Willie 😂

[@janf817]

That's a satisfying shed! A place for everything and everything in it - for now. You'll be so glad you labelled it all too. Thanks for sharing x

[@cyndirose9775]

Wonderful video!! What a beautiful place to live👩‍🦳🌺🌴🐊

[@celesterakhale7496]

Am i the only one holding my breath for the weather while you sorting out that shed?😂...I know how notorious your weather is ..😂

[@livingtheskyelife]

Ahaha so were we! But it stayed true to the forecast for once 😅☀️

[@sharonvantroyen9686]

It must be spring everywhere! I am in the process of clearing out several rooms in my house, and I love how it’s starting to look. More importantly, how it feels! Very calming. Yolanda will look like a new vehicle when you’re done, Willie. I love to see how you take such care of her. So lovely to see the gorgeous island of Skye as you go on your walks. Truly a beautiful part of the world. Thanks again for sharing!

[@sherelynwhite4130]

I'm fairly new to your channel and I have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying your content! The beautiful countryside, the pups, the ancient sites you visit, but most of all, your crazy silly humor keeps me coming back! Thanks for that!😅😅🌺🌈💚🙋‍♀️

[@livingtheskyelife]

Ah thanks so much!! So glad you’re enjoying the videos 😊

[@innahype]

Just the most perfect Do It Together channel, now with comedic outtakes, which always make me giggle. Beautiful place, beautiful people. Thanks for making and sharing.

[@deliawallace4426]

I love watching people tidying up spaces. I don't know why but I find it highly satisfying. Thanks.

[@sherrierollins3774]

Willy thank you so-so so much You gave me the best laugh of my week Probably 2 weeks Watching you take Those balls off your jeep. And I really really needed it. I'm really glad you got them off

[@bonnerdebbie]

Great video as always, shed and Landy look sorted. Nori is getting so big! Have a wonderful week in hopefully wonderful weather.

[@markp7745]

That's great the you can take Nori in the coffee shop at such a young age. We've only just got comfortable taking our Kelpie in a cafe and she's 3 and a half! We also want to know exactly what Sarah first said to Willie when she was dragged out to the Landy to hold the spanner whilst she was washing her hair 😂😂

[@livingtheskyelife]

Ahahah I’m not sure it can be repeated in polite company 🤣🤣🤣

[@peggyreid6836]

Happy Palm Sunday. Thank you Sarah and Willie. Jack Spaniels and puppy Nori are behaving quite well.

[@ceceliakeown5653]

Isnt it AWESOME we KNOW the end to this story?!! HE IS RISEN💒ALL that Call on THE NAME of THE LORD Jesus Will BE SAVED. Thanks forever more JESUS!!! Have you Ever wondered why the people turned on JESUS SO VERY FAST?? From PRAISES to Crucify HIM?? Ezekiel 9:9. The people were expecting HIM to set them Free from Rome/Evil. He didnt come to do that then. So he came on a donkey that represented PEACE not war. To make Peace from our sins that would keep us from GOD. A MUCH BETTER THING. They should have recognized this symbolism as Their Kings of old did this if they came in Peace. They rode horses IF they came in War. One day JESUS WILL RETURN AGAIN on a White Horse to make War against All Evil of the Universe!!! Only those who have made Peace thru JESUS/ Repented will be safe and go with HIM to HEAVEN.

[@ceceliakeown5653]

HAPPY PALM SUNDAY to you also.

[@LizzyM68]

Nori’s head tilt was adorable 🥰

[@patriciakeogh5008]

Now all you have left to do, is write another sign that’s says. PUT THINGS BACK WHERE YOU FOUND THEM and you’ll always have a tidy shed 😊 Then, it’s job done 👍

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Nori falling asleep .. my heart 😂😂🤩🤩 another fab Vlog .. watched it Sunday and totally forgot to leave my comment but watched the whole video as always 🙌🙌🙌

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww thanks Claire! He was so sleepy in the sunshine after his walk 🥺

[@guadalupeknippen528]

Get video! 🌷🌿

[@lizgillies3564]

Great video as always guys, good job well done ❤👌as always take care and stay safe

[@lessaint]

Willie, if your buying stainless steel nuts and bolts for a coastal application, go for a 316L grade stainless fittings.

[@pennykaiser6667]

Nori is a very well-behaved pup. Great work organizing the shed. Looks good. ❤

[@arkonite]

Happy Sunday everyone ❤

[@lieuwina]

I am amazed at you finding all those boxes from the sea and what a brilliant idea using them to store things in your shed. Now that is a win win and saves you money having to go out and buy containers to put your stuff in. I give you six months before it gets cluttered again, it happens with our garage, or you both might surprise me and it wont get cluttered (I mean this as a joke by the way). Have a lovely day and another beautiful video.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Hey, thanks! I built the shelving specifically to fit the boxes. They’re just like big drawers that can be slid in and out. The building process is in a previous video. 🙂

[@catherinedeazeley2745]

Willie you are never stuck nori is a good dog thanks again for your vlog x

[@susanMcDonald-md3np]

What a busy couple 😅wonderful video and loving the labrodite necklace Sarah I have one just like it ,bought more years ago than I care to remember 😍my spaniel seven month old Rosie sends her love to the boys , she loves to watch them charging about in the water ,I think she is quite jealous 😂

[@carlarivas1238]

Wow - what a team effort with the shed! Way to go team Skye! I swear - Nori’s little bottom is so darn cute (as is the rest of him). I love the ingenuity of working in the rain. You both are creative problem solvers. Have a wonderful week.

[@annehicks9992]

Good job with the shed. Big hugs to Jack and Nori ❤

[@lyndaturner6686]

Well done guys looks great in your shed now, Nori is getting so big and so cute. Jack is cute too.

[@annjarvis9300]

Well done tidying the shed we have given up with ours tc the oldies xx👍🤗

[@GabiMarton]

Lovely, as always! I only missed the dog ruckus music 🤣 the one Willy wrote a few weeks ago… it’s so fitting!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Oh I’m sure it will be back..!

[@jamieloom22]

Nori is already so well behaved like Jack. You guys do a great job training your wonderful spaniels.

[@ceceliakeown5653]

They SURE do dont they!

[@joannamarshall2795]

The shed looks pristine to me. Looks well organised

[@kathywenthold3821]

Your fish looks so delicious. It made me really hungry for a fresh smoked fish. We do have really good fish here in Oklahoma. They’re called stripers and they are delicious no matter how you cook them.

[@labnurse1]

Congratulations on getting the shed all organized. Nice to see Norie becoming a cafe pup.

[@VMc828]

❤like your tidy shed. Jack & Nori are the best🤗🙏🙂

[@59tante]

Blessed Easter to both. Nori has grown heaps. Loved the head tilt moment

[@cjcarver6290]

My goodness, Nori is getting so big. He has as much fun as Jack Spaniels.

[@charlesperez9976]

Ah! Amongst all the other fine moments in this episode,I rate the fish dinner as the finest. I am a diehard cold(I mean room temperature) smoked fish,as it marries the palate so beautifully,kind of like letting a cup of tea cool down a bit,it just tastes better. And you can’t beat chips on the side. Or CAN you? I can! Tostones. Bear with me,as this will seem strange to your faraway northern noggins!🤣 Tostones are unripe plantains,which is a type of banana. They are very starchy and not sweet in this state,like a potato. You slice them about 1.5 thick,fry them until cooked throughout,then smash them to about half the thickness,then fry again until golden. Sprinkle with salt and paprika,eat them with the smoked fish,alongside capers! The Tostones are these oval risks of fluffy on the inside,crispy on the outside potassium bombs. Ohh this is a nice little Caribbean treat!!! Good luck finding plantains on Skye🤣😅🤣🥰

[@sharongott8048]

Well done! Your hard work paid off, but poor Nori you wore him out😂

[@livingtheskyelife]

That’s the tiredest we have seen him so far! We were literally outside all day, so he had lots to keep him occupied 😊

[@annwagner5779]

If ever anyone wasn’t lazy! You’ve done so much!

[@heathertucker7056]

Your smoked fish looked so good it literally made my mouth water! I’m sure it was delicious. Nori is getting a very sociable dog and very well behaved - most of the time! X

[@susanroller6905]

You two have got to be the most adorable couple on the internet, along with those " Good Boys " I just love your channel, Willie's great music and Sarah's beautiful artwork along with cases of the goofies, perfect !! My week is complete ☺ Much love and hugs from Sacramento, Calif. 🥰🥰 xx

[@ginacrusco234]

Also the charming accents.

[@thehighlandlife2023]

They are adorable aren’t they!

[@59kiwilass]

Great work on the shed guys. Loved watching Nori explore new territory. He is growing fast. That trout looked yummo. Have a good week.

[@Wrtp.]

Cheers for that video 🍺🍺👍

[@andypotts8062]

Nori is definitely taking great leaps forward as far as training is concerned..he enjoyed the beach and returned on Sarah's commands. Then he was a great wee man in the coffee shop. Willie, great job on the Land rover and shed. Really looking forward to your springtime adventures at Skye Life Cottage. Best wishes.. Ps...Jack is still a legend.

[@marllyburnett4433]

Another great video, loving the Starsky Cardigan at the end. You two ( plus the pups) are are braw! x

[@johnslater1460]

Ha ha 😊 to your reply about pronouncing Broadford.

[@mattkeyes9153]

Nearly impossible to move there/retire to . We'd love the chance to live anywhere in Scotland , extended stay. Love the video , continued success and live your dream !

[@ellie.l6585]

What a stunning view you have. I'm so jealous. You're so brave working in your shed. I'd be far too terrified of a big spider jumping out 🥺.

[@juliebower4265]

Love your work ethic guys hyoid are so inspirational nori is doing so well and jack is beautiful ⭐️⭐️

[@jekworld]

That hot smoked trout looked like heaven on a plate!

[@margaretmorgan4682]

With your left over smoked trout, cook some pasta, cube the trout, place in a pan with a little oil and some cherry tomatoes cut in half, lightlyvook through and toss through the hot pasta and garnish with fresh basil. A lovely easy and quick summer meal. A few capers tossed in give another dimension.

[@Idedabah]

Oh Jack we love you!!

[@Quaker521]

That fish looked great and smoked to perfection. I remember being given a sea trout a few years ago which I served with a champagne sauce - it was delish! Thanks for the video.

[@judithmalan1502]

Absolutely stunning! All of it! Well done!

[@maryearll2135]

Another wonderful video - makes me happy and i really need to find a coffee and cake place!! What an ending - boing, boing!! Great one!!! Thank you!!

[@tracycrum9829]

I love smoked fish!! My grandpa worked at a fish house his whole life in Florida. He would mail us a box of oranges and grapefruits, and he always included smoked fish and smoked cheeses. Made my holidays every year 😊 I have never had it freshly made and still hot, but it is one of my favorites.

[@sallyannc3176]

The hot-smoke trout looked amazing! I love it cold too - flaked into a salad, yum! Well done on the shed clear out and Willie's patience with the land-rover refurb - tho every screw head looks a wee bit rusty so lots of work ahead!

[@vivellasmum]

You're so lucky you can eat that cake Sarah, I love cake but it ALWAYS makes me feel sick 😭 I still eat it.....and write at least 2 hrs off my life to recover ugh. Awe Nori was a quick learner!

[@chrisdouglass7962]

🤣🤣 Very glad you stuck with that outro!! Dinner looked 👍👍👍

[@dennismatthews6660]

Good job with puppy!

[@bergannon6585]

I can see a new shed project coming soon, with a much needed lean-to. Great satisfaction when we tidy our sheds, you have motivated me to get cracking 😊 Happy Easter to all ❤❤❤

[@Helmdep]

I have a brick outhouse full of stuff. Im moving house to the lake district soon and dreading the clearout!

[@deedorothypapineau6920]

This has been a great episode as always folks. It was so cute when Sarah was talking in Yolanda and Nori’s eyes were starting to close. Willie, your smoked ocean trout looked delicious, not to mention Sarah’s fries. I used to catch ocean trout in the creek on my grandfather’s farm in Skye Glen in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The pink flesh is the same. It’s like Arctic Char but bigger. Nori is about to get bigger than his big brother Jack Spaniels. What great boys. The land down by the water is incredibly beautiful. Thank you both for sharing your adventures with us.

[@cathyferry3910]

Nori coming along well. Good job on the shed. Thanks for a fine visit

[@ginacrusco234]

You all make cleaning a shed, cooking dinner, and fixing a car fun. (And dog walks and coffee breaks more fun than they deserve to be.)

[@debrah7548]

What a grand fish!

[@renateschreiber4416]

I like your Videos.They are gread fun. Stay save and have a good time❤😊😅

[@lillberrysweet5420]

Hi guys! I am new to your channel and am already obsessed with you both. I just love Jack Spaniels!!!!

[@alisonhedgecox3763]

Willie that smoked trout looked absolutely delicious,I would agree in eating it cold 👍🏻

[@aScotinmyR218ABN]

Willie's creativity with the Landrover and fixing it up . Makes me think of his kindred spirit in Richmond Hill Georgia. Who is equipping his "Bug Out" trailer to go hunting. However there is 'NO Iron Bru" in Georgia.😣 Now having ma 'Skye Live Fix" all will be well this week in South Carolina.😀

[@denislacroix9503]

Many thought we were getting an early spring, here in New Brunswick, Canada; because the couple of feet of snow that fell throughout the winter, had melted. Within 12 hours, night before last, it snowed more than what we had all winter. hahahaha Usually, we get about 4 or 5 feet of snow, through winters. I love this "climate change"! :D

[@freckles2437]

Would love to see a fishing vlog. Jo Devon 🙂

[@livingtheskyelife]

We’ve put out a few fishing sections in the past. I just don’t film at my favourite little spot, as I don’t want everyone to know about it, and it’s a nice place to unwind sometimes without filming too. Boat season starts very soon, so plenty fishing and lobster potting coming up soon! 🙂

[@stuc734]

Something satisfying about a good shed clear out, always makes you feel like one of life's achievements imho 😂🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@lisakellet4976]

If only jobs could be fast forwarded & completed as quickly! I'd like that as a super power! 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💕🐾

[@margaretlast44]

That fish looks amazing!

[@susangauci3278]

Good job on yolanda.Great to see Nori is getting used to socializing. You deseved that coffee Sarah. That fish meal looked delicious, Great catch Willie!! Shed looks great now .Your hard work paid off. ❤❤❤❤

[@sherrierollins3774]

PS, I absolutely love the way you tackle things. You have a such a great attitude.

[@elc193]

Lovely vlog. You guys are so fun and cool to watch. The sense of humour is to the point, love that your channel is so refreshing, no unnecessary drama and just wonderful overall. Best from Canada ❤

[@nicolad8822]

The cold smoked trout might be nice with a gentle fresh pickle of some kind. Cucumber, radish, onion, fennel even? Some dill?

[@janetmackinnon3411]

Wel ldone, everyone.

[@annettewalter2273]

Great idea to use the washed up fish boxes. I love recycling. It’s hard work but you did really well. Nori is so happy in the water now.

[@SueTatro-rc9xc]

Nice work on the shed organizing ❤

[@janeconnors1807]

Your shed sort out is exactly what I'm doing now (apart from the fact that I now have a brand new shiny shed). The garden is strewn with things I'd forgotten I had. Your sea trout looks absolutely amazing and how fabulous to eat what you've caught. Just a wee bit of advice with your adorable pup. I know he loves chasing birds but at this time of year, maybe a bit later up there, they will be starting to breed so ground nesting birds will get disturbed. Love your lifestyle

[@hazelduerdoth4333]

I’ve missed the last few episodes as I finally moved to my sisters in the cotswolds and awaiting the completion of my cottage which is stuck with land registry thanks to the trustees wanting to add another one literally a day before we was going to complete so my life is sticking my sisters garage so I’ve been spring cleaning out stuff in there but I’ll also be doing it again when I do move , I’m blaming complete boredom 🤣🤣 as I’m sitting here doing nothing all day 🤦‍♀️

[@chucks_88]

Thanks!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Thanks so much!!

[@chucks_88]

You're welcome @@livingtheskyelife ❤

[@junco477]

Well done.

[@maggie_oshea]

Hi Sarah and Willie. That fish looked absolutely delicious 🐟 My mouth was watering 🤤 The shed looks so much better. I couldn’t believe how much stuff you had packed in there ! 😂

[@sallydattoli2143]

I know exactly how you guys feel. Living in a 3/2 for over 16 years, we are down sizing to a tiny house. My husband wanted to get a dumpster and toss it all! With a "oh hell no", I began selling stuff on eBay. When he saw I had cleared over $1,700.00, he suddenly needed new tires for his truck! So, ok I guess selling MY stuff is better then trashing it all, huh?😊

[@sallydattoli2143]

I thought my husband was the king of spray paint! But he has competition with you. And that looks like your dirty secrets of Scotland umbrella!

[@carolbulmer8253]

Hi, Sarah and Willie. That fish dinner looked delicious! Good job on cleaning and organizing the shed👏👏👏👏👏 I’m glad that Nori has become a cafe dog. See you next week❤️❤️❤️❤️
