P.S. A body of water that separates two islands is called a, "sound."
Water between two island might be a strait. Really enjoy this channel.
Baaah to all those wankers that say your not tying up the boat right or you should lifting it, SOD OFF!! Y’all are both kicking butt, love you both!!!!🏴😎💗🤘🏻
❤The precious little sheepie knowing you'd brought home a treat and she was ready to tear into it.
Before you sailed off in the last episode you'd said you needed some new boots. Did you get some?
They should make a spoof called “Inlander”.
So beautiful that is a dream u guys are living!!!
I wish I could love this as a suggestion. Awesome blog this weekend. Love you two and your humour is spot on. From Alberta, Canada.
Scott, I really think there are so many people who constantly troll YouTube channels solely to make negative comments in order to make themselves feel superior.
People are so odd. Why not just watch and enjoy rather than having to insert your opinions into the comments? This is not about you. You really don't need to argue with the lives of other people.
You two are great. Ignore the bad comments. I guarantee the ones who are commenting could not carry a bookcase a long ways. Keep up the great content. I look forward to watching you two.
For all your damp wet days, 'tissue such a hoot your talent at "dry" humor
Watching your video today, I find myself longing to paint the beautiful landscapes on your island. Thank you for sharing with us.
I think you can call the narrow bit of water between the islands a "strait."
🙋♀️❤️.
🙋♀️❤️. Your island is so beautiful! And you two look so beautiful sitting in the sun.
Love your videos you both have a gentle calm presence love the stories you tell the humour
Lovely winter weather! How big is the island? (I'm thinking about ca. how long and wide, not square meters.) Regarding the "negative" comments; I don't think you should put it all into a "haters bucket". I'm sure a lot of it is only ment as helpful suggestions. There's a lot of ways that will lead you to Rome. Take use of the good ideas, and leave the rest. After all,the comment section on the internet is a Pandoras box.
Do you guys do any fishing it looks perfect for it ??
That’s great you have the quad & trailer! Australia 🇦🇺
Strait
Brilliant channel. Thank for sharing part of your life with us. Ps my father was an antique dealer for 50 plus years, and he and us kids moved furniture the same way as you. Detractors detract. Best wishes
Estuary is the word you sought.
A lot of lugging over there….Every corner a painting.
I’d have to say your dreams of growing wheat or pure fantasy. Or you could grow it but those deer would eat it oh well we could always dream.
👍👍
Scott you did well putting the bookshelf yourself in the cabin well done mate.👍 Katie did your mum enjoy what you did to her old cookbook ? God bless you both 🙏
❤️
Hi to you both .
Loved the content of your video, such amazing scenery with the music .
And your two lovely sheep , how excited they were with there new bag of food . I was really expecting to see snow , but it does still look mild . Thankyou . Look forward to seeing you soon. 😘
Y’all are hilarious and quick witted, hence intelligent! Thanks for every beautiful vlog! ❤🌿
🧣👌☺️
I think the water divide between two islands could be called the straits. Love your bantering. I do so misss that way of just chatting. And what a wonderful place you live in and clearly love!
I don't know if this has been answered before but do you own the whole island or just the plot around the house on it? Is it a ferry to the mainland or is there a tidal crossing?
A strait is a narrow waterway between two pieces of land that connects two large bodies of water. ♥
That field looked good for crops but the one big flag is the deer use, they love free food. A nice Welsh would be OK up there. Have you thought of getting a currugh as a boat as quite light.
At 18:54 "to pen the animals in…" or to keep the animals out, we think. It does look like an area for cultivation and you have deer on the isle. If you decide to grow grain keep in mind that the field is near a deer path and you may not end up with grain unless you can put up 8' deer fencing. Just a thought. Here's another one: you have incredible scenery with wonderful color and you obviously know how to make the most of framing out the view. Why couldn't you, if you don't already, take stills of those views and sell the prints? Some of them are just breathtaking including the red and green contrast of that field as you first viewed it.
Thank you! Thank you for sharing your wonderful, hard working adventures on the island. Please, please, please – ignore the trolls!!! They’re just jealous, green eyed, swirling pools of negative energy! Looking forward to watching you two reap the rewards of your hard work. ❤️ from Verona, Kentucky USA
Keep calm and ignore the haters! You're doing great!
By the way, how do you cope without a pub?😂
Saw those ridiculous comments Scott! Insufferable in their need to comment. Carry on!
I always used solid wheel wheelbarrows because of puncture / air loss at the most inconvenient times.
Let's make the SFC official!! I hereby second that motion! I love the sense of humor you both have and the incredible talent you have for composition and contrast in your beautiful nature shots. Much respect and love to the two of you. Love, Mary
Don’t worry about the negative comments, every YouTube channel I watch mentions having negative comments, they choose to ignore them.
If they (the negative ones) had a YouTube channel, they’d get bad comments too haha
We love your channel!❤
I was waiting to hear “Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!”
So enjoyed your walk . So much to see. The scenery is amazing. I learn so much from the two of you. You live in an amazing place.
The music is so soothing. Glad you found your scarf. Yay! So glad that I found your channel.
I love the channel ❤❤❤ The nature, the music, the humor… I watch your vlogs while I’m knitting a new sweater ans it makes it so cosy. You are such nice people to share all this. Thank you so much. (ps: Katie where do you buy your lovely dresses? 😊) Love, Marianne
That may be called a 'strait' maybe??? Narrow passage of water between 2 land masses.
I would totally ignore stupid comments like that!! Your great!!! Love from Indiana USA!
Hi Scott and Katie, really enjoyed 39, we are traveling to Scotland on the 23rd from hot sunny Africa and I'll be in Sterling for a few days, can we donate some seeds for your future vegetable garden. Do we need a postbox?
Oh dear oh dear Scott. If there wasn’t a SFC there will be now and I will be joining.
Firstly. Happy New year, are we thinking of the walled enclosure the wrong way round, flattening. To me suggest cultivation or sorts. I think Kay and her idea of growing on that spot is corect. Was the wall to keep live stick out. Stop crop damage
I used to listen to the song at 10:00 every night to fall asleep! There was once a harvinist who played at the market. My mother bought a cassette of Harven music from her in the 90s. I believe the woman's name was Betty Petterson. ❤❤
