Tha Dòmhnall MacSuain no Sweeny mar as fheàrr a dh’ aithnichear e air ais le sreath ùr shònraichte air an lot ann an Nis ’s sinn ga leantainn bho thoiseach na bliadhna agus tro àm a’ ghlasaidh, a’ faicinn mar a tha suidheachadh a’ choronabhìorais air buaidh a thoirt air a’ bheatha na chroitear làn ùine.

Anns a’ phrògram mu dheireadh san t-sreath seo, tha call air an lot, a tha a’ dèanamh Sweeny gu math feargach. Tha an deamhais a’ tighinn a-mach, agus chan ann airson na caoraich a bhearradh, mar a shaoileadh sibh! Fhad ’s a tha Sweeny a’ dèanamh deiseil airson turas deatamach sìos a dh’ Uibhist airson an là, ciamar a tha e a’ faireachdainn mu dheidhinn falbh agus dè an t-ullachadh a tha ri dhèanamh? Tha e cuideachd air bhioran gus an telehandler ùr a thogail bhon bhàta-aiseig agus mu dheireadh, tha e a’ cnuasachadh mu mar a tha riaghailtean a’ ghlasaidh a’ socrachadh, is e a’ ceasnachadh cò ris a tha an àm ri teachd gu bhith coltach dha mar chroitear làn ùine.

Donald Macsween, or Sweeny as he is best known, is back with a special series from his croft in Ness, as we follow him from the beginning of the year and into lockdown, getting his thoughts on how the coronavirus has impacted him in his job as a full time crofter.

Sweeny is affected by loss on the croft. The shears come out - not for the task of shearing the sheep as you would have imagined! As he gets organised for an essential day trip to Uist, how does he feel about making this journey and what preparation needs to be done? There is also a lot of excitement on the croft as Sweeny is getting ready to pick up the new telehandler from the ferry and finally, he gives us his thoughts on the easing up of lockdown, questioning his future as a full time crofter.
