Great to see you enjoying one of the vehicles that you have worked so hard on. Condolences for the loss of Laddie, there’s nothing like that relationship with a dog. He did extremely well living so long and you got to spend such a memorable holiday with him and he clearly enjoyed the time.

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words! I still have a fair way to go with this 110, but the end goal is to create an overland 110! Which I cannot wait to share when I finally start that journey. Thank you for your condolences. Laddie left a huge hole in my heart and in my life when I lost him. I’m still very much grieving, which is why it took a little while to get this video out. This being said, I’m very thankful for my time with him and for so many wonderful memories that I will cherish forever. Thank you once again ☺️

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

@@LandRoverSophie I feel your pain of loss, a dog is a very special friend. I’ve lost several in my lifetime and it never gets any easier. My current friend is an amazing character but I know he is in his senior years and I dread the inevitable. I can’t imagine not sharing my life with a dog and I know they bring us so much joy and memories. It’s good that you have been able to enjoy your 110 whilst working on it, keep it up it’s great to see your progress.

[@Trisblues]

It was wonderful to see Laddie again, he looked so happy on the beach!. I honestly don't know how you kept it together narrating this, even I was in tears! As a fellow Doc Martin fan I always wanted to visit and I'm relieved all your hard work on Gordon paid off!! xxxx

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for the kind words. To be honest, it took such a long time to get this video out because I’m still very much grieving and I’ve had quite a hard time completing this video. I’ve even shed a tear or several just replying to the lovely comments on this video. I’m just very grateful for these wonderful memories and to be a part of such a great community. Thank you very much for watching ❤️

Love this video! As a Canadian with so much space and wide roads, I don't understand how everyone there gets around on narrow single lane roads. Oh - Laddie... 😭

[@carlwilson1772]

The whole nation isn't like that..

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for watching! To be honest, most of the UK is not like this. Unless you venture out into the country side or places like Cornwall, you don’t really find single track roads etc. It can be a bit sketchy depending on traffic but I never go in peak season thankfully! Yeah, unfortunately I’m still very much grieving but I’m super thankful for being able to share these memories ☺️

[@JoeBeech]

Great video Sophie looked like you and Laddie had a lovely time 🙂

Good to see you back Sophie. I always admire your will power and tenacity to get work done. As I've mentioned before, I probably would of given up when looking at the state of that chassis. RIP laddie.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, it’s been quite the project hasn’t it haha! I’m glad you watched along and I could share my journey. I miss Laddie very much, but he will live on forever in my heart and memories ❤️

@@LandRoverSophie So sorry Sophie, losing Laddie must be incredibly hard. I remember him and his title from your early videos and missed the memorial picture at the end reading comments where I saw condolences for him. Hit really hard. Keep your head up.

[@hamishbayer7065]

Fantastic work Sophie, sorry to hear your dog past

[@calsurflance5598]

Oh my God ,Sophie! What a beautiful location! You are very fortunate to have this footage with your best friend Laddie. So sorry he is now gone, but know you gave him the best! Glad to see you post another video! How is the internship with Aston Martin going. A friend of mine ,Pete Brock,did an internship with General Motors design studio in the late 1950s. His sketches became the 1958 Stingray Racer which later became the 1963 Corvette Stingray. In 1964 he designed the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, which won its class at Le Mans. He is 86 and still going strong. How are the restoration projects coming along? Thank you so much for this!🙏🙏

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words. I’m very fortunate that over the years I have captured a lot of magical footage of Laddie and even more so that I can share such moments. You will be pleased to know another video is ready to go for next week!☺️. I desperately need to have a sit down and a catch up over on KZbin, but my apprenticeship is going really well - I’m actually set to qualify 6 months early! Wow that’s fantastic, your friend Pete sounds like he could really tell a story or two about his experiences. I’d love to hear the stories he has! I have a few updates regarding the projects, I’m very much trying to get back on the horse now but next weeks video will give another little update as to what I’ve been up to recently and without spoiling the video, it may be a little different to what you’re expecting. Thank you once again for watching!

Lovely part of the world, sorry that Laddie has gone to the great kennel in the sky. No doubt he'll be keeping one on you to make sure your doing things properly and the other on his his lead, just waiting for the day when you can take him for another walk 👍.

[@1969Risky]

Great video Sophie. My parents used to go to Cornwall as kids & teens. It reminded me so much of the stories they used to tell me. I managed to squeeze in a trip down that way many years ago. I still like watching Doc Martin & I'm glad you saw it's production. I'm so sorry about Laddie, he's been a very faithful friend to you. I've adopted a 14 year old Himalayan cat called Rex & he's the supervisor whenever I'm doing work on cars. He's a funny bugger of a cat & he gets rewarded with chicken nuggets.

[@_stoatchaser]

The goodest of good boys had a great trip for you to remember. My spaniel And I send all our love

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for watching and for the kind words. I’d recommend you go back if you can! They hold a special place in our hearts eh, great to hear you’ve given Rex a good home. I hope you create many wonderful workshop memories with him ❤️

Glad to see your back, as an expat living in Arizona it was nice to see the old country and Cornwall where our family used to holiday often, particularly liked the visit to the Doc Martin set, I had heard he was always happy to see the dogs. Like you we recently lost one of our babies (Teddy) so I know how you feel.

[@LandRoverSophie]

Thank you for watching! He really does love dogs, which was great for Laddie haha. I’m very sorry to hear that, they do leave a huge hole in our hearts and lives when they leave. I hope you can find some peace soon ❤️
