I watched a Nat Geo video called Billy and Molly an Otter Love Story. It is so touching. If you have an opportunity you should watch it.😊

[@freckles2437]

What type of fish was that 🤔, total nube here 😂. Jo Devon 🙂

[@SongOfSongsOneTwelve]

26:23 ❤❤❤👏👏👏Thank you for being an ethical fisherman!

[@risireynolds6881]

Sarah's absolute joy at seeing the dolphins brought tears to my eyes. Such clear happiness!

[@paulpuckerinGM]

I reckon that Jack Spaniels thinks Dad is building this 'kennel' for him! 😂😂😂

[@livingtheskyelife]

Haha yeah for sure! He has always loved having a den 😅

[@debrah7548]

Was going to say that perhaps Jack is part cat. They love boxes!

[@jenniferfarrah3134]

Yes , I think he needs a kennel , my dog loved hers 👍

[@susanharris3224]

my thoughts exactly! Jack Spaniels needs his own space…. a teenager already!

[@megvoss3329]

Whenever I have witnessed that kind of show by dolphins, otters, or whales, it never fails to take my breath away!

[@carols6525]

So cute how Jack wants the bin for his own house!! ❤

[@livingtheskyelife]

Ahaha yeah he has always loved a den!

[@annecasillas5402]

Jack just tucking himself up like a little cube of pup in the bin was too cute. The boy needs a doghouse out in the yard. His own little Jack man cave but he may need a sign that says, 'No Nori's Allowed!" lol. What a fun video, Sarah's parents were so sweet.

[@jahmasin]

❤You guys will have to build Jack a dog house....he's loving the temporary one ❤ Sarah brought tears to my eyes with her shrieks and giggles of joy over the dolphins ❤ So wonderful ❤

[@sheilakerr-jones4345]

We watched them here yesterday.

[@chellele5816]

How special was the dolphin moment! Predicting next build - Jack’s dog house…he was so at home in the compost ❤

[@zeldaveeblefetzer3475]

Ellise's paintings are amazing! So ethereal. But what i really loved was her pallette. It was an art piece in itself. Also, i agree with everyone, Jack definitely needs his own dog house! A mini-cottage.

[@christine3358]

I don’t think your smile could get any bigger when you saw the dolphins! So fun

[@micah06v8]

I'm so glad Sarah finally got to see the dolphins! They really are amazing animals! A suggestion for the compost bin. Regarding the sliding slats, you can put candle wax on both the ends of the slats and inside the crevice they sit in and that will help the boards slide more smoothly. You don't need a lot just enough to give it a thin coat!

[@heathertucker7056]

We are lucky enough to see dolphins occasionally off the Isle of Man. It’s very magical when it happens and being up close in the boat was perfect. I liked the artists paintings at the gallery they were very emotive works. I think Jack thought Willie was building him a new kennel- bless him x

[@iain-xf7sp]

Nice to see you’ve got a nice couple of bollocks Willie, and on your light tackle. I am sure Sarah must be proud of you!

[@iain-xf7sp]

[@SharmanSomerset]

So happy that Sarah got her dolphin moment and thank you for sharing Ellis’s art with us, a wonderful way to spend a Sunday evening big love to you all especially Colin and Liz, nice to meet them x

[@rosemarymee]

Ellise? Ah, the artist. Her paintings are extraordinary.

[@TheHarper11]

I felt the thrill of seeing dolphins through Sarah's excited smile. Nice video.

[@paulpm57]

I live in the United Arab Emirates, the country next door is Oman with an area called Musandam (it's kind of like Skye but with burning temperatures). Their are some beautiful fiords with dolphins in the north. One time I went on a tourist boat cruise up there and we found a group of dolphins behaving exactly how they were in your video. They were obviously used to the tourist boat because the captain started clapping and whistling, the dolphins came over and captain opened up the engines. We were crashing along in the waves and the dolphins were playing with us by running alongside the bow and jumping out of the water (nowhere near the propeller!). Super intelligent creatures and so fast!

[@Cecelia-zp9qd]

SUPER COOL!

[@cathykenney3689]

Dolphins are indeed magical! My last dolphin sighting was on the return voyage from scattering a loved one’s ashes in the Salish Sea. The stormy clouds broke, and the dolphins appeared, and escorted my family most of the way back to the marina. They knew!

[@Cecelia-zp9qd]

Thank you for sharing how GOD sent you the special dolphin escort.

[@celesterakhale7496]

Willie your dog wants his own little house..😂..that's another small project for you!He probably wants to escape for a spot of peace from Nori😅

[@abqresident4461]

I took my son and grandson magnet fishing to a nearby lake last Sunday, were we found much discarded line, hooks, and lures. Thanking for caring about the environment, Willie, by using carbon hooks. Good man! We brought home all of the detritus and disposed of it properly. Grandson kept one lure and three spinners which he believes might fetch some money on eBay. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Love and hugs from me in New Mexico USA.

[@lamalaguena]

I think Jack might like a doghouse 🏡

[@davedingo542]

Great to see Sarah’s happy face when the dolphins arrived. Your compost bin looks good but the position spoils your beautiful view.

[@heathermcdermid3673]

Great episode guys. Was nice to meet Sarah's parents and love watching the fishing episodes. Wonderful looking dinner. Seeing the dolphins was epic.

[@janetmackinnon3411]

I hope your parents enjoyed their time on Skye.

[@nomorehate9176]

Love, love, love Jack Spaniels!! Nori's coming along adorably! Congrats on the fish, Willie, and communing with the dolphins at last, Sarah!!!

[@ginacrusco234]

Thanks for braving the elements and doing the waiting so we could all wonder at the dolphins! The joyful laughter and gasps said it all.

[@rubyjools]

🐬beautiful, how blessed you were, our dolphin buddies gave a lovely show🐬

[@beverlyethridge5084]

I love that y’all are so conscientious about possibly hurting the sea animals. I so love the dolphins and whales. I also love the colors of the artists paintings. They are my favorite, much like under the sea. Very good to meet your parents too.

[@suedale1865]

A palace for composting well done Willie Sarah your happiness at seeing the dolphins was so good to see Fish & chips looked so yummy 👍

[@susangauci3278]

Such joy seeing the dolphins.jack needs to have a dog house haha.great catch willy wooow.Sarah your parents are as lovely as you ❤❤❤

[@carlarivas1238]

I’m so happy you got to see the dolphins- so exciting to be so close. And Willie - I’m very impressed with your building skills.

[@pathoodjoy]

Love "Hermitage Bridge" and the percussive chord changes/slides that seem essential to the music. So much to love in the vlog. Jack in the compost bin, Sarah's parents, the artist and her gorgeous work, the dolphins, Willie getting the biggest fish... hands down the best episode to date! And I can just imagine Nori and Jack digging in the smelly compost!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Ahaha Nori got in and ate a whole squishy tomato before we decided to make the slats higher 🤣🤣🤣

[@NicksAllotmentDiary]

Hi Sarah and Willie. Wow great to see Dolphins. Jack seems to want his own Kennel 😄 Take care. Nick

[@irmibullinger1421]

I loved watching the dolphins in the wild! Have a great week.

[@RobynDavidSaunders]

Dolfins are attracted to the engine noise, they like to ride the bow wave and will keep out of the way.

[@pbjabq]

Love her paintings, wow!!! You just get lost in the veils of color and "mist." Great video today with fishing, compost bin building and family.

[@SchussinBoots]

Another fab episode guys, thank you! So lovely to see Sarah’s parents too, they are naturals! 🥰

[@SchussinBoots]

P.S. I know you already have enough troubles doing the outro (😂) but don’t forget to mention at some point that we can all help the channel by watching the ads in full. It’s not generally well known and for those of us who would love to support the channel, but simply can’t afford actual cash, it’s a good way for us to help.

[@livingtheskyelife]

Ah thanks!! We might include it at some point, but we also know how annoying the ads can get 😅 We appreciate you watching them all the way through 🤩👍

[@amteo7107]

Jack spaniels is planning on starting own B&B😂

[@censport]

What a fun episode. Sarah's experience with the dolphins, taking in the art exhibit with Colin and Liz, Willie sneaking ALL THE PUNS into the chapter titles, and Nori photo-bombing as only a spaniel can. Greetings from hot and muggy Tennessee, y'all. Can't wait to be back in Scotland.

[@dnovello]

Love that Defender; so mechanical and Cool!!!!

[@rikspector]

Sarah and Willie, Ellise is an excellent impressionist. My sister is also an impressionist. I know how much skill and long it takes to be able to pull a painting from your own feelings and imagination. Sarah, that scene where the colorful chickens were feeding begged to be painted. Their colors would have been great contrast to the rather gray ground and the water or mountains behind them. I know you don't do that kind if thing, but my artist eye begged to photograph them and work up a painting.:) Nori is getting bigger and bigger. The double troublers, I'll call them😁😁 Finally, You Cannae be a gardener without compost which is a dirty 7 letter word. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@livingtheskyelife]

Haha maybe I’ll attempt the chicken painting someday 😅

[@aliendragon23]

Looks like Jack really wants a doghouse ! Judging by the many similar comments, that might be project number one million and fifty two. 🤪

[@livingtheskyelife]

He’s actually had a doghouse before which he completely ignored 😅 We think he just likes to put himself in the middle of whatever we are working on, so we pay attention to him and throw his ball 🤣

[@icybar]

Wow, dolphins AND a new kennel (I mean compost bin). Super!

[@wackthegood8884]

Ellis's paintings are just sublime! What a talent, and it must be even more powerful seeing them in real life. After Willie's hard work, those fish and chips looked delicious.

[@suewilson1801]

How fun fir your parents to see the dolphins too!

[@SarahHovley]

So much fun!!! Again!!! Art, compost, sea life, and chickens!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

[@carolynmurtaza1180]

Sooo jealous you got to see dolphins 🐬🐬🐬

[@millywood6801]

As you say seeing dolphins in the wild is so special. Husband and I have seen them off the Black isle at Chanonry point, we even managed to get photos of them leaping out the water.

[@beverlyuresti1358]

Beautiful scenery and enjoyed watching the “Fishing Session” you and Sarah are fun together ❤

[@barbarad.9497]

Lovely episode. So nice to meet Sarah's parents, Ellis and the many fish and dolphins. Great compost bin as well. Wow. Thank you so much. 💜 I have the feeling Jack will sit in the compost bin shade if he cannot stay in it. Loves it.

[@laviniawoollard2223]

Enjoyed it all,.especially the fishing..🎉🎉🎉 well done Wille..

[@59kiwilass]

Wow!!!! Loved the dolphins & Sarahs reaction. Enjoyed watching you fish for dinner Willie & glad that you caught something. Nothing like fresh fish caught & crumbed and chips made at home. Great work on the compost bin too. So enjoyed this video. Ohhh!!!! The art work in the gallery was amazing. Jack made me laugh with his antics while you were building the bin. Hope you guys have a great week.

[@martineboekema2153]

What lovely parents you have and Ellis art made a big impression,breathtakingly captivating 🙌🫶🫶🫶 Enjoying your chanal 🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖

[@marionbartley214]

Hello Sarah and Willie, another great video today. Great compost build Willie. And catch of your fish. Sarah glad you were able to go visit your parents. And have a good time with them and visit the art museum. Looking forward to your next video.

[@JohnCarstairs1961]

We stay in Sleat every year and quite often sit at the window watching dolphins, the occasional otter, red deer and even the odd mink. We love it there. Best wishes from Dunfermline 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@livingtheskyelife]

Sounds amazing!! We are planning to get some trail cams to try and capture footage of some of the local wildlife here 😊

[@FranWhorton-of5ql]

Willie, the compost container looked great! Very practical, very serviceable and not a distraction to the rest of the garden. Thanks for sharing your connection with the loveable dolphins.

Everything about this episode made me happy. Dolphins and Jack and Nori! It doesn't get much better than that. AND... I've just subscribed to Wild for the deodorant refills and a lip balm. I bought the deodorant after you mentioned it a few months back and it's a fantastic product! Thanks for bringing it to our attention and for the discount code. 😉😊 Ellis' art was absolutely beautiful!

[@livingtheskyelife]

Ah amazing! Hopefully you love the lip balm as much as the deodorant. We love having our wee personalised cases 😊

It’s Sunday so it’s Skye time.

[@normasavitsky489]

Humm? I wonder is Jack Spaniels hinting he wants his own dog house, his own space😅

[@mayhmmaydn]

Ellis's paintings remind me of looking thru deep ocean windows... off focus like cloudy underwater ports of submarines maybe... love it.

[@sandralambchop]

Willy, building the compost/jack spaniels bin…”boards that will slide in like that” (up and down hand motion)…gin fuelled me…phahahahaha! Sarah’s absolute joy on seeing dolphins in Scotland…gin fuelled me…reaching for the tissues! Thank you xxx love watching you on a Sunday evening #lifegoals #lovegoals

[@GetAwake2024]

Thanks for sharing the beautiful dolphin images

Obviously Jack would appreciate his own dog hut

You would think… he had one… he only went in it once in 2 years. We sold it.

Love those dolphins -- they've been my favourite animal since I was a young boy. Glad you got to see them -- you were so excited!

[@samantharankinstinamisan5583]

Thank you for sharing the dolphins 🥰

[@JosephineMason-h2n]

Very enjoyable video, Sarah visiting the art gallery was very interesting, some lovely pictures and meeting her parents was lovely! She was so excited to see the dolphins, it was quite emotional, lovely scene. You are making a good job of your compost box Willy, very impressive with your handy work. That meal of fish and chips looked very delicious, especially when it was caught by yourself, it couldn’t have been any fresher! Well done!😋😁

[@livingtheskyelife]

The dolphin experience was super emotional! We were amazed by how close they came 🤩

Enchanting to see the whale & dolphins. Just loved to hear their breath exhale or inhale. I don't know but it was really cool. Video was packed. Loved every bit of it. Very entertaining!!! 😁 What was the fish you caught?

[@livingjustright90]

I loved Ellis O'Connor's work, Its ethereal. Thankyou for sharing it with us Sarah x

[@lieuwina]

Sarah I just discovered on another you tube channel give your strawberries while flowering a fertilizer mix (Tomorite). During the flowering and fruiting season strawberries benefit from a high potash feed which can be applied as a liquid (eg. Tomorite) or as a granular fertiliser in early spring (sulphate of potash). As the plants start to flower spread fresh straw under them. This will keep the fruit off the soil and keep it clean. Also if runners should begin to grow from the plant while fruiting, cut them. Only let the runners start growing at the end of the season encouraging the runners to take root and grow more plants. Finally, you could separate the runners and plant them elsewhere. Hope this helps. Well done Willie on catching the fish, may I ask what kind of fish was it? Have a lovely day.

[@jenniferfarrah3134]

Lucky you all to catch seeing the Dolphins 🐬, we went all the way to Iceland, to see whales & Dolphins, but nothing 😢. Not even the lights . But it was beautiful . Great video 👍.

[@JR-kz2xn]

Ohhh...Dinner looked great!

[@pauladane8438]

Love your videos Sarah and Willie! That was the best openhearted smile of joy when the dolphins were with you Sarah. I've followed you since you were moving to Skye and today I felt I really saw the "why" that had you choose to live there. Always feel so calm when I listen to today's music Willie . Thank you for such a great channel.

@@livingtheskyelifeyes I know. I have been swimming with a wild Dolphin named Dusty in County Clare Ireland years back. I also have a lot of lovely memories of Fungie the Dingle dolphin. Sadly he died some years ago .

[@SongOfSongsOneTwelve]

Don’t forgt that Jack and Nori are spaniels- they’re working dogs. You have to give them something to do or they will run amok or wreak havoc. 😅 You might want to invest in a few sheep or raise some waterfowl. They should come back every year to nest.

[@gordonmackenzie4512]

I was at the beach one day beside Channory Point with my wee daughter and a whole family swam slowly past us. Dad, Mum and baby dolphin 🐬 The tide was already in, so the main pod was further west.

[@janmitchell641]

I am so pleased that you guys got to see the dolphins and Minke Whale! It’s when we adults get to become kids again, just squealing with delight. When we went whale watching in the Straight of Georgia, Pacific White-sided Dolphins had a ball swimming and leaping in the bow and stern wake of the boat we were in. It was magical. I wondered if turning your motor on and starting to move is what drew your dolphins back to you? Perhaps they were looking for some fun? I don’t believe that we have to kill the motor around dolphins, but perhaps it’s the law in Scotland? We do, however, have to keep a large distance between ourselves and whales, and we do turn off the motor and enjoy the spectacle. Once again, another rich and playful offering from Sarah, Willie, Jack, and Nori. Thank you ❤
