I love the cello! I'm sure you could learn enough for a backing track but it's sounding good as it is.

[@karlanorvell9573]

I think Jinx is the more appropriate name. Willie-Thanks for taking us through some of recording process.

[@monis4777]

I do love so many aspects of your videos, but the „home made“ music makes them REALLY special. The sound fits the landscape and you both. Thanks a lot for another joyful sunday evening.😊🌈🚙🍀🎶⛰️☕️🍩😊

[@judithmalan1502]

You GUYS are such a remarkable, refreshing TREAT, each week! THANK YOU❤❤❤❤

[@judithmalan1502]

Yez, like the drone of ths pipes, Willie...your voice adds that stunning note level......BEAUTIFULLY

[@andrewlennie8243]

The Thaw is an amazing piece of music Willie, well done

[@GrumpyScotsman]

Sundays are a wonderful time to unwind and enjoy some fun! Every video is always engaging and entertaining.

[@mrevonomis]

Thank you so much for brightening our Sunday evening once more. We’re counting the 62 days until we head to beautiful Skye for a fortnight - we cannae wait!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww amazing!! Hope you have a wonderful trip 😊 Please do say hello if you see us around the island!

[@mandywhitton]

My heart goes out for you Sarah love to you both ❤❤❤❤❤❤ also lots of love to the pups

[@celesterakhale7496]

I always enjoy your music creation Willie.So beautiful.Ever consider adding a twinge of bagpipes?Seriously!It goes with the whole atmosphere of your lives....

[@annehicks9992]

The music is great Willie, a very Scottish feel to it, lovely ❤

[@fairyacorn4854]

I just love the new tune you're so talented Willie. What a todo with Sarah's jinx, love the name. thanks for entertaining us on this dreary Sunday always look forward to 6pm. Stay safe you two and the boys.

[@eileenbecker9245]

Best day of the week!❤

[@eileenbecker9245]

Love the travel day scenery!

[@hanneliewiese3477]

Willie, all these extra instruments make this piece of music just excellent !

[@guyrose2239]

You two are just such a genuine couple … really enjoyed this weeks…,even with less pup action! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤗

[@jacquelinemcauley6848]

Thank God for you lovely partner ❤️

[@deedorothypapineau6920]

Even with all the problems Jinx has put you through I envy your lack of snow and sub sub sub zero temperature. I’m so tired of winter. Here in Ontario it’s Groundhog Day and as tradition has it…. If the groundhog sees its shadow (or not) it predicts how much more winter will last. His name is Wiarton Willie! He says we’ll have an early spring this year 😎 I’m as lucky as you Sarah when it comes to cars. I’m so happy you’re safe on the road once more. “The Thaw” sounds great Willie! The way you layer the instrument sounds definitely enriches the music.

[@judithmalan1502]

Yes! So much, almost like the drone of the pipes, Willie. And your voice adds that stunning note level......BEAUTIFULLY

[@carolwoodward6141]

Your car troubles remind me of so many my own family have had.

[@KathiePrater-n6d]

Listening to the guitar part at the beginning of "The Thaw" it reminded me so much of the atmosphere in the music of the late, great Gordon Lightfoot! I am a huge fan of his, and I love this song! Congratulations, Willie. I think "The Thaw" may be your greatest masterpiece so far. Well done!

[@rosemarymee]

That takes me back decades to being introduced to the music of Gordon Lightfoot by Canadian friends in France. Happy days!

[@KarlGillcrist]

Glad you got your car sorted ....as car troubles go the light problem and the exhaust issues are much better than brakes or steering issues so I'd say you bought well Sarah and Willie's check over was good as well....the song fits well with the theme you were going for with just enough elements added to balance the feel of it....thanks for making my Sunday brighter....I'm sitting here surrounded by lots of snow at -9 c.....Karl from eastern Canada ❄❄❄❄🍁🍁🍁🍁

[@heatherw9084]

Loved this week's video, a day in the life on Skye❤ Love seeing you on your travels, so genuine. Felt so bad for you, Sarah with your vehicle troubles. Jinx is the best name for sure and here's hoping you don't have any more issues. Willie you are so talented with your music, love hearing both your instrumental and your vocals ❤. Keep going with both. Have a great week! 😊

[@katherinegeddie7687]

The sound of the two guitars is such a rich sound. I love the way you are building sounds of string instruments. This is a beautiful song. Sarah, good luck with your car. Sorry about your MOT issue. I'm glad it got sorted.

[@susangauci3278]

Ooh Sarah I felt sorry for you.And Willie always to the rescue and such a positive man.Love your music Willie well done .sarah now the car passed the m.o.t I wish you lots of travelling .thank you both.Really enjoyed this video.Regards from Mlata ❤❤

[@kimberlymolitor354]

Hope you two have continued luck with BOTH cars!! Love the new song, Willie!❤❤❤❤

[@treborekcohcs40]

[@lindaevans9403]

Love your Sunday blog, so enjoyable with the gorgeous dogs Xx

[@jenniferfarrah3134]

Hi . Sorry for your car Sarah , 😢but all good now . Love your piece of music Willie 👍. Enjoyed the video . 👍😘

[@minervabird1967]

These videos are a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

[@kayuk74]

Willie, your music segment was interesting to listen to. The cello was genius, added a rich depth to The Thaw 🎧🎵🎙🎹

[@darwinsfish]

Always interesting to see how the overlaying of the musical components makes everything richer and atmospheric. Great stuff as always.

[@lorro1951]

This is your best video so far this year for me. Glad Jinx finally passed his MOT Sarah. For me also Willy, your latest music is my favourite so far. Been watching your videos since you started your great venture and I look forward to them every Sunday.

[@LoriZabielski]

That was fun. Glad you weren't stranded with your car in bad weather. Great song Willie. To bad about the Whiskey though.❤

[@arkonitebabe]

Happy Sunday everyone ❤

[@NancyVanEvera]

Thanks as always for taking us along on your adventures!🌞

[@sharonsouthey3235]

Hi there, loved “The Thaw” , what a talent you both are❤. I love Sunday evening with you and your gorgeous boys. I wish my 2 springers were as well behaved lol. See you next week. Xx

[@sallya.2412]

A busy day for you all in town. It is good to get as much things done as possible there since it is a long ways. Sarah, you don't seem to have much luck with vehicles. Hopefully there will be no problems. Congrats on getting the MOT passed for Jinx.😅 Love the new music, The Thaw. I enjoy your videos, thank you.

[@PhyllisLeggett-yq9vr]

I have been fascinated by your presentation of your music making. Well done. Love it! Thanks

[@keithhunt4959]

Just had to smile, Sarah, when you said Haggis, my Westie looked at i iPad. Willie sounds good. Everything taken time, mistakes, re recording. As they say Rome wasn’t built in a day. Sarah, you know how you say good boy to Jack and Nori, if i hadn’t seen with my own eyes i would have put money on that you was on Cleethorpes beach at the weekend. Exactly your voice. Good video. Glad your car passed. See you next week. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🌹🚙

[@francesaspinall6353]

Lovely piece of music Willie, very evocative..

[@carmeltinnes3508]

Love the music, Willie! Good luck with Jinx. Sarah.

[@SmithyScotland]

In Dingwall, head down Ferry Road, large park on the shore front. Perfect space for the dogs to run about.

[@catherineclark2949]

Love the name of your new car 😊. Very interesting hearing about Willlies music xx

[@kirstiehood3404]

It's not just you sarah, it happens to me too

[@catherineb6565]

Sarah sorry for all the vehicle troubles. On the plus side, I'd like to mention how your confidence in harmonizing at the end of each episode has really improved since the first episode which is when I subscribed. 🤗

[@mzjamm2]

It is always cute to see the boys. I am so sorry about the issues with your car. Willie is a calming force when things get crazy. Well maybe naming your car Jinx is a good way to ward off further troubles. Also, when you were in the Portree Cafe, I though it reminded me of a cafe I visited on my last trip to Scotland. It was in St. Andrews.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@chazboyle9456]

nice one , its good to treat yourself every now and then , god bless xx

[@jodivandyk3649]

It sounds wonderful, Willie!

[@stuc734]

There are worst places to sit and wait for a Knight in a green horse to come to your rescue. Great vid as always. Love the tune but the cello is just grand 🤟🤟🤟

[@kateyshaw7295]

Love your videos each and every week they cheer our Sundays up , l would like to say please please promote your local co op or you may lose like so.many many areas .You always say that local small shops need to be supported but so does your food shops ....

[@lewisbarlow]

Another lovely video;Thank you for making Sunday evening more enjoyable. Cheers Sandra and Lewis, Wolverhampton.

[@pjk1714]

MTO here means birthday soon. Hope everyone enjoyed the adventure and your whiskey is set for another year.

[@rwilliams6928]

We loved the video. Naming the car was hysterical. Naming it Jinx seemed right. Lol. I'm sure it will all work out ok. And we loved the song Willie. Beautiful piece there brother. The Thaw. And seeing the process was nice to see. I understood it but my wife was wondering what it all meant. I explained it to her.

[@CarolineMitchell-v1r]

Jinx is the name for sure, is the route you took to Inverness the quickest?. We took the Loch Ness route from Skye back in Sep..our Landrover had issues and we were towing our caravan back to Falkirk....took us 8 hours 😢 the number of cars that were tooting at us! Eh we cant help it...had been staying at Edinbane...love the thaw....hope your new car is good Sarah xx

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Jinx for sure! 🤣🤣🤣 BTW…the gifted “nosey Coo” has gotten named, Rufus by the recipient. Thought you’d like to know. Hopefully, no car issues for some time to come. Cheers, and ATB!

[@chucks_88]

Loved the new video. And love the new music Willie. Didn't realize all the work that goes into making your music. And poor Sarah, gets her car back from this inception then the car don't start. Hopefully it's smooth sailing for her now. 🤞

[@didevilliers1238]

Amazing how you can add all those different instruments, especially the cello, just using the "computer" ! Yes, wonder about some bagpipes too ??? Anyway, you are very talented Willie. Yayyy MOT at last. Haha Jinx the Jimney - LOVE it 💙🦋

[@pathoodjoy]

The strings layered onto the Thaw guitar sound very rich. Love seeing how you do this. Seeing your "day to day" life on Skye is always interesting. Please keep in good spirits. Luck to you!

[@Bugs1953]

Love you two so much such fun. From our experience I’d change the battery as they have habit of just dying these days. Stay safe.😊

[@marysharvey]

We live in a small, privately owned town called Graeagle in the Sierras of Northern California. Our town consists of 750 residents, so in the winter most everything is closed here as well.

[@vivianhart8579]

Sarah, I feel you with the car issues. Glad that Jinx seems to be working well now

[@bronwenryan416]

Hi both, l love, ,love, love your Sunday night’s video. As soon as l hear the music, l know it’s Sunday 🤣

[@shelaghrobertson8286]

Another great Sunday treat from Skye! I wonder if the lack of Uisge Beatha was down to Burns' night pending 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 📖 Anyhoo, Slainte Mhath 🥃🥃

[@FLSueL]

"The Thaw" is beautiful! 👏 I'm so sorry for your car troubles Sarah, I can totally relate. I have such a reputation with all those who know me. Something is always happening to my cars, no matter what year or type I have, even if I buy a brand new one. It's uncanny. 😒 I hope it's the end of your troubles. It's a really cute car. 😉

[@judithmalan1502]

AND CONGRATULATIONS! MOT achieved...❤❤❤❤

[@helenbub8345]

Another great video from you both ❤ but I have to be honest Sarah I had to laugh when Jinx didn’t start 😂

[@pamoleszczuk7555]

Oh dear not a good few days , maybe that penny is the Jinx Sarah, big hugs . Love The Thaw Willie perfect. Thanks for our sunday evening fix x

[@terrybull1043]

Nothing like a little bit of haggis.love it.

[@aScotinmyR218ABN]

I have a smile on my face after seeing 'MY" Skye Life" In the future a video of Willie and Sarah with the dugs Haggis hunting?😋

[@heather1387]

I would love to hear the bagpipe in “The Thaw”. The Tickle, The Tickles, The Flow.

[@juliekeys1880]

Thanks for the update.👍🐕‍🦺🐶❤️

[@pjcat3522]

I love watching both your creative processes. I also love the route you take to Inverness. I hope you call it Jinx, my little motorhome is called Jugz, much to my daughter's embarrassment🤣

[@judithmalan1502]

AND CONGRATULATIONS! MOT achieved...❤❤❤❤ Phoenix is good

[@caledoniancalm]

I was so pleased when I saw you touch your nose when you were deliberating over the name for the Jimny. I do this when I’m thinking and my husband laughs at me. It really works though! I’ll tell him I’m in good company. Great video once again.

[@danielhayton9438]

Coffee in Portree one day I faded into the background as the curtains were the same pattern tweed as my coat!

[@vivianhart8579]

The Thaw, is sounding wonderful, particularly with the cello and violin addition.

[@jeanneamato8278]

Safe cars mean safe people (hopefully). Glad it’s ok now. I really loved the music. It’s atmospheric.

[@jazdia78]

Thanks for showing us your reality! I live in northern New Mexico, and while it's remote, it's not as remote. It's a one and a half hour one way trip to Albuquerque, where all 3 of our adult children live. We did have delays for deliveries due to snow this week. But it's less than 5 minutes to the local grocery store. Our cat named Jinx was confused for a bit about the new name for your car! He is named for the hijinx that he played while a foster cat. And, I love the new song! If you're ever interested in hearing a cello play, check out Kevin Olusola from Pentatonix. He is so talented!

[@marysharvey]

I look forward to Sundays viewing you guys and your adventures. From a Californian I say “hi” from a huge fan in Northern California!

[@dthomp06]

Jinx is a very appropriate name. I find it crazy how much more shopping on island is to in a big town. It makes sense, but …. Ouch!

[@sandrakicklighter2735]

Thank you for the map cartoon; really helped me understand the drive. Also a long drive, but damn, it looked truly beautiful.

[@madcitywendy]

Love this recent piece of music - and very interesting to watch your process!

[@janetmackinnon3411]

Thank you---interesting what you've done with the music. Especially the 'cello.

[@lynnekershaw5490]

Hi Will and Sarah thank goodness jinx passed the M O T it just shows with cars you never know they can be unpredictable sometimes but hay ho Sarah nice little car ENJOYX

[@adamssecretgarden]

love the tune, and seeing Portree was great.. I was like I walked there, went in the shop hahaha... great video guys xx

[@FlippinLids]

Excellent video Jinx da Jimmy love to you both.

[@tessminime3480]

Love watching you two and would love to visit skye x

[@charlotteanddavestorey6553]

Oh dear , definitely not much luck with cars , such as life though , these things are said to try us . Very interesting how you make the music Willie .

[@cjwhiterabbit1]

Always carry 3 bungee cords of mixed length, a handful of heavy duty cable ties, a swiss army knife, a decent disoposable lighter and a good sized hank of para-cord ... covered for most events

[@bosswardrop]

Love watching you both (and the dogs of course) - great fun and always interesting!

[@SueCurwen]

As my dad used to say ..... he was a mechanic ..... " themselves the joys of motoring ". 😅😊

[@denisepiekarski4159]

"The thaw" is a lovely piece of music. ❤

[@ruthfrench]

I enjoyed you talking about putting together the backing for your song. The cello seemed to be doing a similar job to figured bass in baroque music which I think I remember learning about a very long time in O level music 😂😂.

[@mars2100]

Lol, seeing sara use a bag to shimmery under the car,lol. Love your vlogs.

[@lrogers707]

Willie definitely has an inside track with 'Jack of All Trades' - Thank you for sharing your adventures. P.S. always love the color-coordination with the final/end shot.

[@judithmalan1502]

I still think the uileean pipes, to add a Drone/twang...to those beautiful sections that you have created...

[@lisahanson-mcintyre5900]

Love the name of the car..lol

[@EdmondBecket]

Another lovely video, I hope the car troubles are now over!😂

[@zoepatterson3643]

Hi guys ,I'm sure your Jmny will be fab lol your fac3 Sarah when it wouldn't start .you 2 make my day .Thankyou .

[@pennyneal2456]

Oh I have been to Dingwall when I stayed in Conan Bridge with my cousins!
