I had to reply to this as it is so very kind of you. We are so pleased to be able to help but it is bitter sweet when one hands on one's dreams. However, I can think of no one I would rather take on my dream than Scott and Katie. When your life is saved and mine has actually been saved three times, you want to make your life count and hopefully be worthy of the chances you have been given.

Just heartbreaking you have to leave. I was living my idyllic dream through you both. Seeing all the trials and challenges and wondering if I had it in me to do the same.

I will sorely miss the surrounding water features and the forest. I'm sure the sheepies will, too. However, Suzanna (sp?) and this cottage are a Godsend. Just because the door is trying to hit you in the butt on the way out, doesn't mean the window that's opened is going to be easy to fit through. Katie, I hear the heaviness in your heart and I'm so sorry. May Hillcroft sing to your heart as well and may you always find yourself surrounded by neighbors who will be there for you in your time of need and may they also be there to celebrate life, opportunities, and holidays with you.

[@lindagoldsmith1332]

Katie my heart is bleeding for you and I wish I was closer to give you a really big hug which I think you need right now. Poor Scott is trying in his own way to keep your spirits up bless him. It is nice for you to know that people all over the world are thinking of you at this time but sadly words alone are not enough. As well as the newspapers, have you been in touch with local radio and television stations with your story. There must be loads of locals who have a quad and trailer they could lend you for a few weeks just to get you off that ........ island for the sake of your mental health. Its a matter of getting the word out loud and clear. I'm not telling you to suck eggs, I'm just frustrated that I can't do more. I've been with you from day 1 and feel for you deeply. Lots of love. xxx

[@fionalozinski9211]

Having spent my life on the Canadian Prairies, I know exactly what you mean Scott when you talk about the space, and the vast sky that is more "there" than the land, but also part of the land.

we will all have to answer for the way we walk what we say and do in this life. As you sow so shall you reap. Love your neighbour as yourself, Do unto others as you would have done unto you.

Your new home looks ideal. It looks as if the ruins are from an original “black” house. These were then replaced by the more modern “white” houses.

[@rachelwilson9751]

I live in the Hebrides, this is not uncommon. Lairds (landowners) can do what they want. Your accommodation is tied to your work which means no job no home. Retirement means you have no home also. My advice would be get accommodation separate from work. It gives you more security and make sure you have contract of employment. People think life in the Hebrides is some kind of fairytale, it is not. Life in the Hebrides is a conscious decision and a lot of hard work. It’s not for most people but it is for me.
