    I'm a Paramedic here in New Zealand and have just finished an absolutely awful shift, 30 years ago I had the privilege of travelling around Scotland, fantastic memories (Scottish heritage on my Mums side), loved Skye, got barricaded by several highland cows in our rental car, hey we are Kiwis so used to waiting on hundreds of sheep on the road, so happy to abide our time😊, love your vlogs thank you xxxx🐑🐑🐮🐮

    Your prints, cards and calendar are very special.
    So glad the water is running.
    You may need a trench with metal grading to push away from the front door.
    Poor porpoise didn't have a chance in that storm. If the cut clipped tendons, the fin would not kept him lifting for air. RIP 🐬

    Jack,
    I am sure many people will respect your sensitivity, but
    I grew up on a farm and have seen many dead animals in Nature on
    many occasions, this is the reality of existence.
    Cheers,
    Rik Spector

  • @ginacrusco234
    @ginacrusco234 11 месяцев назад +26

    I enjoyed being let in on the creative process you have, together and separately. The Christmas cards are just smashing: Sarah, the beasts look so jaunty in their hats; and Willie, the texts strike just the right witty note.

  • @the-reading-lemon
    @the-reading-lemon 11 месяцев назад +25

    Can't believe you didn't go for "Christmas is Neigh!" for the horse card 😂
    I'm glad your repair works managed to keep the water out this time - maybe you should consider adding a little drainage in front of the gate with a grate on top of it so you can still cross it with your car? That way you won't have to pull out the sandbags every time it rains so hard.
    Seeing the porpoise was very sad, but I'm glad you took the opportunity to educate yourselves and us. Sadly, these things happen, but that doesn't mean we can't get something positive out of them anyway.
    See you next week!

    • @sallyannc3176
      @sallyannc3176 11 месяцев назад +1

      Yes - I think they need a permanent trench with cattle grid across it to stop water, and beasts, getting into their site.

    Here in coastal Georgia USA, I have been lucky to swim with Bottlenose Porpoises, or dolphins. They swim up to us in the ocean along the barrier islands. And you can "feel" the clicking or echo locating they do. Like Scotland, we protect our dolphins and Porpoises for future. It is always sad to suffer a loss. I love the christmas cards with the Santa hats! and the greeting puns are spot on! Love you guys so much. Please give Jack Spaniels a belly rub for me.

    Very sad about the dolphin but you handled it perfectly and sensitively, educating all of us which is timely as it seems we hear about beachings more often than ever. Your guest was excellent, by the way, very interesting. We were also glad to see the "flood" bypassed the byre but, WOW, what a downpour. And Sara, your Christmas cards are adorable especially the Highland Cow...very a-moo-sing. ;) Have a great week Skye Life-ers...2 and 4 legged.

    I love your videos. Thanks so much for sharing them! The world is pretty rotten right now, and it’s even hard in Australia. Job redundancies, expensive to live even a basic life etc. It’s such a relief and an escape to travel to Skye every Monday (our Monday here!) and see the beautiful countryside and weather and the ups and downs of the nature there, and two happy artists and their fluffy black dog! And everyone else who pops by. Thank you!!

    Living in a Yorkshire valley I am very familiar with flooding and the damage water can do so I can understand how stressful it is. My heart goes out to all those affected. It's so sad that you found a dead porpoise but it's wonderful that Ellie and people like her are striving to help them. (Jack seems to have fallen in love with her, that look of adoration!) On a lighter note I love the cards and the puns! 😃💖x

  • @helenstewart2085
    @helenstewart2085 11 месяцев назад +4

    You can buy drainage pipe, its plastic pipe with holes in it, you lay it under the ground in a hollow it has worked very well with a dip in our drive way, we had to stop the water running onto the bridge. In New Zealand the product is called nova flow with holes/slots. We also use it around our sheds due to the driveway being higher than the area in front of the sheds.

The stone bridges were impressive in the raging stormy waters...I think Jack Spaniels had a crush on your cetacean visitor :) and it was nice to see a bit of both your artistic endeavors. The holiday card collab was cheery, and I went over to hear "All I Can Do" - a heartbreakingly beautiful song! So much talent! See you next time!

    It’s mind blowing how much rain there was and then to hardly any water. No wonder Scotland is so green. Sarah I LOVE your Christmas cards!!!! And the greetings were hilarious🤪🤣 Was sad to see the porpoise stranded and dead. It was very good of you to include the phone numbers for people to call and report on stranded porpoises . The two of you are truly very caring people. Unfortunately Mother Nature isn’t always loving and kind.
    I agree with the person who commented about having Jack Spaniels on one of your Christmas cards. He’s such a handsome and good boy.
    Till next week. Stay healthy and safe. From the other side of the ocean…

    Glad your water issues on the property aren't a horrible headache.
    I love the hat on the sheep! So cute! Your Christmas cards are lovely!
    Poor porpoise! What a shame the poor thing expired. It's an unfortunate fact of life.
    I've seen a Christmas card with a drunk reindeer and it holds up a cocktail saying, "Bingle Jells!" I still laugh when I think of it!
