Wow going in Time Tara, John and little Crusoe you keep showing in my page with your past travels today in the Hebrides. Was lovely to see your niece Summer. Too bad you could not stay longer. Did you know FYI the Callanish Stones on the west coast of the island of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland were used by the Starz TV series, Outlander (2014), as a model for a fictional stone circle near Culloden called Craigh na Dun. The stones are depicted in the show as having time-travel abilities when touched. Funny time-travel all fantasy we know but folklore vividly speaking through what these islands have shown in time. Great to see you all again. Many blessings as you continue your projects in Portugal. Next time with Sawyer revisiting Scotland Lord willing. Many blessings 🙏💖🥰👶👱🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇵🇹

[@louiseupton1501]

I’m showing my hubby all your videos to try and get him in the adventure mood! He’s now agreed to try it for a short trip 😃 He has put in a floor, a slide out sideways bed and side shelves in my small electric van. I’ve been on several day trips in the Cotswolds, a 10 day trip with a friend and last week I went on my own first ever solo trip (to Devon & Cornwall). Your videos are really uplifting and inspiring, thank you 😊

Thank you!! That’s such a lovely comment and we’re so pleased that we’re getting your hubby in the travel mood too! And, well done for your first solo adventure, we hope it was a massive success? We can’t wait for Portugal and some nice hot sunshine! Thanks so much for being here and see you next week x

Yes it was wonderful thanks, the highlight was lying in bed with the door open, looking at a vast open view watching the sun set. I was watching the latest The Indie Projects on KZbin today too, who are renovating a barn in Portugal, you’ve probably heard of them, they say it’s 30c, so look looks like you’re definitely in for some hot sunshine! Have a wonderful time:)

[@MrsHuntontheTrails]

Thank you so much for doing this video. My granny (Mhairi McDougall) was born into a family in Knockintorran who had lived in the same croft for six generations. At 16, she emigrated to Canada, married a gold prospector, then returned to live in Dundee for the rest of her life. We have only visited North Uist once (in 1989) on foot so got no further than Lochmaddy - camping on the ferry terminal in the pouring rain. Now we have retired and seen your vlog, a return trip is required!

[@TheNewbys]

That’s an amazing heritage Judith, and you should definitely go back, it’s a beautiful place, so wild and untouched in many ways, and the crofting families are still many generations deep as it were! Thanks for being here.

Awesome vlog. We call that weather "a mixed bag" back in Newfoundland, or if you phone and ask , how's the weather, they likely will say RDF(rain, drizzle and fog). The village reminds me of Lanse Aux Meadows viking village in Newfoundland. The circle stones are so interesting. Imagine life back then makes me appreciate all we have today.

Agreed Peter, we are lucky souls to be so comfortable and to be able to travel. Love to Newfoundland and the RDF!

Fantastic, mesmerising landscapes once again. Fascinated by the historic local houses with rocks on ropes holding down thatched roofs. Never seen that before. Waiting for Crusoe to be impressed by something though....mum & dad trying hard but Crusoe insisting on staying zoned-out and chilled (sometimes literally) about everything. Is he practicing to be a teenager?

Hello, Lovely videos but please get an aluminum rear worn baby carrier. Tripping forwards you could crush Cruso or your next one! Several times on the videos you’re walking along with Cruso on the front and your hands in your pockets. It’s up to you but a friend crushed their baby doing exactly that. They survived fortunately. Some of the paths you’re on, you could easily trip. Apart from that keep up the good work.

[@TheNewbys]

Hey David! Thanks so much for the concern and taking the time to write, we have had the same thought and have a new carrier for Crusoe which can take him on our backs now that his neck strength is a bit better. We are of course always thinking about him and his safety first, and would never want to put him at risk or in harms way and so appreciate any and all advice. Have a super week and thanks again for watching!

[@davidmcnaughton4192]

@@TheNewbys it wasn’t a criticism but you can get rear ones for very small people that protect their necks made of aluminum like a roll cage and they can grow into them. I have my own two kids now 12 and 15 yrs old but we were very active when they were little. Regards

Thanks David, no criticism felt at all friend, we’re genuinely very grateful for the advice. We could look into those carriers for number two perhaps, they sound great. All the best!

Hi Ryan, good to hear from you. Thanks for your message. We were not required to have campsite bookings to board a ferry. In Harris there are designated wild camping spots.

Looks nice white sand 👍🏻 lots of bears where I live “real ones” lol 🇨🇦 thx

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Jay! We’re so super keen to get to Canada to see the bears there too - let’s hope the world opens up again soon enough. Take care and thanks for tuning in and being a part of our journey. 😎

@@TheNewbys Canada is a must, especially for you guys. My wife, teenage son and I toured the Rockies and had the most amazing time. Mountains, ice cold lakes, waterfalls and forests beyond anything we had seen before. And then there is the wildlife - won't ever forget watching my wife and son's faces as a black bear wandered out across a road in front of us.

Lovely video. And of course, the islands have been the site of several great Christian revivals.

Tolles Video!! Wieviel Tage habt Ihr in Uist und Lewis & Harris investiert? Mir ist klar, dass man hier auch 2 Wochen verbringen kann. Aber wieviel Zeit, wenn man nur für die wichtigsten Stops Zeit hat?

[@TheNewbys]

Hi Christine, we think you could do Lewis and Harris in three or four days if you were in a hurry and Uist in one or two. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. 🐘🚐👍🙏
