Every angle you film from is just stunning ❤ love ur rain hat and rain coat !! great video guys ❤
I think the shore line would be quite different now to back then in the early 1900's. Tie a couple of the logs together on an old palate and pull along the water edge with a decent rope from shore. Its an easy decision fence off the area nearest your house so the sheep don't poop there, its not as if they hav'nt got anywhere else to graze as they have plenty. Your food supply and growing veggies is important and comes 1st. Take care 💕🇦🇺
Where's the round shape?
Ah, poor Scott! It didn't take long for the madness to come over him, Katie. 😉
Just a question on your growing beds. I thought you said the one in front of the house had to go because it was sending damp into the living room. Did you resolve that? Love your content thank you.
Are y'all planning to gather wool from the sheep?
Bracken is indeed a fern: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracken so you're both right. Thanks for another great video.
Each of your videos takes me somewhere that fills me with peace, beauty and gentle warmth … thanking you with grace ..
If I don’t see the hat and eyeglass in the next ten episodes I’m unsubscribing …..😂😂
Oh, it's so long since I heard a curlew! Thank you.
That sheep poop is good fertilizer. I'd save it up for the garden this spring. It already comes in nice manageable pieces to cast about. Seaweed is a convenient slug and snail deterrent, I must try it for we have an ample amount living on the Northern California coast. Is it the sodium content that does the trick? The madness could be due to island fever.
When you were pulling the leaves out of the water spring. Why not put a piece of chicken wire over it to stop leaves and stuff falling in. That would be easier to clean and putting your hands into the water
Float the wood on a pontoon x
I find the hat perfectly reasonable! But the starring in the camera in the opening sequence….rather disturbing. 😮😂
The mics now pick up the right amount of wind. I don't want to be shielded from the sounds too much.
Sooo beautiful there. Thank you for sharing with us. I've made salt from sea water quite a few times. I just put m old y pan on the log burner and it evaporates fairly quickly and makes lovely salt
Love y'alls wardrobe. Practical yet appealing.
The Scotland ! Scottish great grand papa where are you now-😢🤧
I love the idea of planting wildflowers and maybe one beehive to start, that would be fantastic. 💜🐝
I am told that snails and deer do not like the smell of sheep's wool. But if it is very wet and the smell is not released, the snails can take shelter under the wool. Maybe something to try
Just Wonderful enjoyment from your Work….Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” Blessings upon your House.
Might want to look into a log spliter. Then you could transfer smaller bits
Have you ever looked into carts made with bicycle wheels, can carry a lot with not much effort
For the sheep might consider a portable radio, to placed where you want fertilizer😊
Works great with the wind!
A sled might be more practical than a wheelbarrow.
What beautiful bird songs ❤
loving the hat! styling it well!
The life is not for me but I enjoy watching. Winter is going to be a bitch….
Are you guys well protected by storm's
Hey, Katie and Scott! I found this video today of an elderly couple in Orkney who have a rare breed of sheep for their many products. It made me sad to think their life work could be lost to time when they can no longer manage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHcwM6OgCmI
Please…just buy a boat! An old Dell Quay Dory is perfect for what you need, cheap and indestructible.
Love the channel!
The new microphone definitely did well in the wind.
If you're going to grow sweet corn, you need a much bigger garden.
Cut your wood and pull it back to the house on a sledge. Easy to make one and very useful for hauling anything. Groceries, wood, coal, fuel, water, stone, seaweed etc. Easier to use than the wheel barrow.
Scott, you can be Capt. Cook! I don't think he went anywhere near the Hebrides, but I wouldn't swear to anything! Meeting a stag would be fun. Beats a bear or a moose.
chop that wood in place use an old bed sheet to load wood into 1 at the front 1 at the back easier than a wheel barrow on that terrain i would think
