    Hari OM I was going to tell you, but I see other already did; Toad-in the Hole is a batter mix poured over the sausages. You can flour it like the Yorkshire style, or go more my mother's version which is minus the flour and closer to an omlette mix. Golly though, this Bonny Land sure does sing even in the driech! You are fab ambassadors for oor wee country. You really don't need to worry about being too regular over the next period... working up to wedding is widely acknowledge as one of the great stresses (and joys) of life!!! YAM xx

    We love your videos, Scotland is such a beautiful place. But, that is not a road in the hole lol. More like an open sausage roll. Toad in the hole has to be Yorkshire pudding and sausage. 👍🏻

    Hi love the channel we have been caravaners for 35+ years regarding your gas fire we were given a tip if you turn the dial down to the pilot light not off it burns minimum gas maintains some heat and you can turn it back up if needed hope this helps keep up the good work

    @@highlands2hammocks Yes I agree Skye is remote even with the Bridge. We were going to move to Skye nearly 15 years ago but it would have been very impractical i.e. nearly 3 hours on a good day to Inverness plus family live at the end of the country!
