Na Niseach pr貌iseil, tha e an-dr脿sta ag obair p脿irt-霉ine, ach bu mhath leis sin atharrachadh gu tur agus barrachd 霉ine a chur seachad anns an 脿ite as b貌idhche fon ghr猫in na bheachd-san - Nis, gus a bhith na chroitear l脿n 霉ine. Leanaidh sinn e thar bliadhna san t-sreath
霉r seo de 6 earrannan, 's e a' feuchainn a r霉n sh貌nraichte a thoirt gu buil.

Tha 霉idh air a bhith aig Sweeny ann am beathaichean agus croitearachd bhon a bha e na ghille 貌g agus chuir e seachad t貌rr 霉ine le a sheanair air lot an teaghlaich. Bhon a ghabh e os l脿imh e ann an 2005 tha e air 霉ine a roinn eadar an obair l脿itheil agus croitearachd - rud nach robh furasta, ach anns an Iuchar 2014 ghabh e a' chiad cheum le a phlanaichean d矛oghrasach.

Sgeulachd Sweeny, cr貌itear 脿 Le貌dhas a bu mhiann a bhith ri croitearachd l脿n 霉ine. Tha d矛le-bh脿ite a' toirt buaidh air an l脿 Gala sg矛reil, tha Sweeny a' d猫anamh air aon de na f猫illtean sg矛reil son a' chiad uair a-riamh leis a chuid chaorach - agus a chearcan; agus leis an Samhradh cha mh貌r seachad, tha e ag ullachadh airson Geamhradh eile agus a' toirt na m貌nach dhachaigh.

Donald MacSween - or Sweeny as most folk know him - is a Lewis crofter with a dream. A proud Ness man, he is currently working part-time but aims to change all that so he can spend more time in what he considers to be the best place in the world, Ness, and be a crofter full-time. We follow him over a year in this six-part series as he tries to make his dream become a reality.

Sweeny has had an interest in animals and crofting from a young age and spent a lot of time with his grandfather on the family croft. Since taking over the croft in 2005, he's juggled the demands of the day job with crofting, but in July 2014 he embarked on the next stage of his ambitious plans.

In this episode, a downpour threatens the local Gala day, and Sweeny makes his show debut with some of his beloved sheep - and some of his hens. As the summer comes to an end, Sweeny prepares for another winter and gets the peats home.
