The Reality of "Living The Dream" in our Cottage on The Isle of Skye! - Ep6

Willie, Sarah and their dog, Jack Spaniels, continue their biggest adventure yet - leaving their suburban life and moving over the sea to 'Live The Skye Life'!
One the things our viewers say to us regularly is "You guys are living the dream!"... but are we really?
Moving to a new home in a new area and all the challenges that come with it is always an upheaval...
..but when the new home is a 140+ year old cottage in a remote area of a Hebridean island, well - there are bound to be difficulties, adjustments and lots of ups and downs.
In this video we tell you how it really is!

My husband and I have been watching every video (this channel because we LOVE it so much and Sarah’s “She Walks, She Paints” channel too - art is my passion also)! We adore your antics with Jack Spaniels, the scenery, videography and history you share with us. We both feel very connected to your lives because both of our families are of Scottish descent and mine came from Skye as well as Lewis and Harris. Farmers, fishermen and carpenters/furniture makers are deeply rooted and my great great grandparents settled here in the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee because it reminded them of home. We are proud of our history and we truly do live vicariously through you and your adventures. We are praying that the next couple of years will allow us to fulfill our dreams of coming to spend two or three months in Scotland. We had planned to do that for our 35th wedding anniversary in February 2022 but we all know what happened to nix those plans. Listening to Willie play music makes my heart smile because it reminds me so much of our family traditions of sitting in a circle and everyone pulling out their instruments, playing and singing. Music is a huge part of our family as well. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Wishing you a very happy, blessed and peaceful day! ❤ xx ~ Jan and Ronnie Trent

PS - Also bought you both some Ko-Fi and followed Scotland on a Shoestring because we are DEFINITELY re-planning our journey “home” to Scotland! ❤️❤️

So I moved from Edinburgh to an isolated farmhouse in Fife we had septic tank, which we only needed to empty once every 5 years although like you we were told anually. We lived there for over 20 years. We loved not having neighbours raising our own sheep and pigs growing our own veg. Wishing you all the best for your adventour

Great video, i think i'm living the Skye life from my lounge.

[@twoeejitsinfrance]

When we moved to our bungalow in the west of Ireland we found it very damp and we had loys of condensation. After a bit of research we bought a PIV Positive Input Ventilation system which increased the air circulation and eliminated condensation almost entirely and got rid of all the mould. Might be worth investigating for your cottage.

[@stuc734]

Last time I was in Glen Brittle was just after I had left the Army in about 1992 and after 8 yrs was still fit and young enough to run this route but in a lot warmer weather. I take my hat of to all three of you but winter walking is always the best in my book.

[@cynthiabruns7178]

I have lived with a septic tank as waste disposal for most of my life. They have definitely improved in that time. They are so much better and more economical than a holding tank that has to be pumped out regularly. Here in Canada it’s recommended that they be pumped out every three years, that can be extended if you are careful about what is flushed down the toilet or drained out of the kitchen sink. The filter bed carry’s away the liquids, the solids are what get pumped out. Therefore, flush as little paper as possible, never ‘flushable’ wipes and absolutely no fats or oils, or bits from the dishpan. It’s important that no solids ever enter the filter bed, otherwise it gets blocked and requires an expensive replacement.

[@mzpatintexas8329]

That’s what I do with my septic, as little paper as possible,watch what is put down the kitchen sink. I have an Aerobic Septic, and I’ve been able to go as long as five years without cleaning out the septic tank.

My family were going to live on sky as it was our favourite place in Scotland in the early 70s . We used to travel from the isle of Wight to Scotland twice a year to travel around, this brings back so many memories. But instead we moved to Australia , a very big island ..lol , were my sister lived but I kept up the Scottish theme by getting married to a second generation Aussie those family came from Dundee and my two girls used to do highland dancing . It is a beautiful place , lucky you .

[@nickjh1968]

We did the big move in 2010 to Skye from the south coast of England, we lived the ‘dream’ for 8 years but ultimately moved back to England for many and various reasons. Good luck guys, enjoying seeing the parallels between your and our experiences x btw, theres a cinema at Aros🙂

[@annewhite8465]

Ah, wonderful video as always, especially starting out with the fabulous views around Glen Brittle. It was a place close to my father's heart, who hitchhiked from Glasgow as often as he could during the 30s, escaping the slums and poverty. He loved it there. Thank you.

[@andykeeble1]

I am so glad you have settled in so well. One thing about living here is the sense of community which we found to be a real bonus. In general, the locals will afford you privacy but are equally happy to “have a blather”. We are approaching the end of our 3rd winter here and love it more and more, yes despite the weather!

There are so many comments I could make! Sarah, you live with a couple of goofballs! How fun! Jack refusing to cross the bridge was hysterical! Really Jack?! The scenery is is stunning! Who does the drone video of you and Sarah together? Music is beautiful! Does Willie do most of the cooking? It is very apparent you are great mates! That is really awesome to see! Can’t wait for next week!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Aww thanks Terri! I really do - but they brighten up every day with their antics 😊 We couldn’t work out why Jack wouldn’t cross the bridge - he is usually so fearless haha! Willie operates the drone on all our videos - when he is in shot, he just sets up the shot to record automatically (they have built in shots like a circle) and subtly hides the controller 😅 We try to share the cooking between us but Willie is definitely better than me! He does a lot of the more interesting dishes, whereas I tend to stick to the easier stuff! Sarah x

It looks so cold!! Beautiful though. Love the waterfall! Thanks for the great walk. Have a wonderful week. (from Sandi)

[@northernerinnc3179]

Such a beautiful part of the world! It is fun to watch your videos about hikes and being outdoors. I have a suggestion for the mold--- use white vinegar instead of mold spray--- my understanding is the mold spray covers up the mold whereas vinegar actually kills it off. "Natural" to my way of thinking is always worth a try .... versus chemicals.

[@kathieprater2431]

Your life seems perfect and idyllic to me! I wish I had had the courage when I was younger to make a major change like that.

I love Scottish biscuits with all of their butter they are awesome I’ll keep them here in my house and have them with my cup of tea! I am so thankful for the Scottish! After my Mom died in 2014 for several weeks I couldn’t sleep so I got addicted to the BBC series Monarch of the Glen and stayed up for several weeks watching all of the episodes! And the very first week of watching I’ve felt an affinity for the landscape which was filmed Fort Williams! I couldn’t get over the feelings I had while watching that series and I thought to myself I wonder if I have any ancestry from that area because I’ve never had feelings like this before! I live in Williamsburg Virginia in the US which was the original capital of this country and where we declared war on the governor of England for our freedom! So I know I have English background because there was a Captain Grigsby who brought all of the kings friends from England to Jamestown Virginia which is nearby and my family or Grigsby‘s on my mother side and we received a land grant through this captain Grigsby from the king of England! It is up north of Virginia near Fredericksburg Virginia! So anyway back to Monarch of the Glen because I couldn’t sleep but I started searching on ancestry.com for any connections I may have to Scotland and I found that my grandmother on my mother side was actually a McWhirt! Tracing that back to guess what the area around Fort Williams in Scotland! I found that I have a rich heritage from Scotland and that area! So it just goes to show you that we are connected to the land that our DNA remembers that connection! I remember once reading that our DNA carries all of our memories back to our ancestors and that’s why we think we have past life experiences but in fact it is the memory caring in our DNA! So way back somewhere we’re probably related! Anyway I certainly enjoyed your videos and watching you to experience the new life in a beautiful area and I get to travel through you guys without having to leave my couch! Like I mentioned in a previous video I have a black American cocker spaniel his name is Max and I adore him! I have had cocker spaniels for a long time at one point I had five and would have 20 if I could handle them all! Thanks again for the adventures of Jack spaniels he’s an awesome very smart dog!

😂As someone who moved onto a rural property several years ago, I can totally relate to having to learn about what a septic system consists of! Including why I can’t plant a shrub “there” because it’s where the septic pipes are …….. ugggh and yes, the pumping of the tanks ….and I’ve also learned that it’s dangerous to let coffee grounds down your drain (because it clogs septic field pipes), and not putting too much fresh water down the drain (because it over dilutes the good bacteria in the tank that breaks down waste)…. Who knew! I’m used to pooping, flushing and forgetting about it……😊

I now prefer oatmilk in my tea! The picture was good, but the mirror is certainly the better size for the space 😉

Another great video Willie, Sarah and Jack Spaniels.It's brilliant there will be one every Sunday, I look forward to them very much and will catch up with your other two channels eventually. Good luck to you all and roll on the summer although Skye is beautiful in winter too. Good luck guys! 👍🙏

Thanks! We are excited to put out a video each week - we always have so much to share with you all! We will take breaks when we need to though 😊

Nice job guys, modern fuel often causes issues in outboards, too much ethanol. Another tip is make sure you wash down the trailer after a dip in salt water and keep an eye on the bearings. Good to pack them with grease regularly. After last week I’m hoping to see a kill cord,being used Willie…. 😊

Great video as usual beautiful mountains and sea scape. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. X

I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying this channel. You are both so lovely and talented and I’ve fallen in love with Jack Spaniels. We’re in New Hampshire, USA, but we’ve started thinking about where to retire. We may just end up your neighbors!

OMG. Blooper reel is the best. Your friend was very funny. Great location, food looked lovely beef stew and dumplings. Yummy.

Hi, it's a pleasure to see you both accommodating yourselves to the rural/remote lifestyle and enjoying it all. The cost of living will be high because of the cost of transport of course, the rest tho' ... ❤️. I think the word is Joy. xx

My ancestors came from the Isle of Skye before coming to Australia. I love seeing where my bloodline might have been hundreds of years ago too!

[@junehulton9776]

Loving the series ... spent my summers on Skye visiting family through the 70's n 80's ... am 52 n have visted sporadically in the last 20 years) mostly North end Trotternish / Snizort (Skeabost / Edinbane / Uig ) , guessing you on Loch Harport or near enough ( dont expect you to confirm .... you dont need a couple of thousand well-wishers stopping by for a cuppa lol) ... fond memories of random hikes to oh , the top of there ; fishing for supper n belligerent sheeps are all part of the charm (along with horizontal rain, 80 degree Aprils, T Rex Midgies .... its all a bit mad, beautiful n unpredictable .... wish you both the best n jealous as h3ll )

I just so much enjoy your videos. Thank you for addressing the positive as well as the negative (though there wasn't too much negative). Love your song Willie. All your music just makes me feel so relaxed and happy. Keep it coming. I'm expecting a CD in the future of all your relaxing, wonderful Skye music. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
