Shotlist: S e deireadh an earraich a th' ann agus an samhradh air fàire agus sinn a' leantainn Dòmhnall (Sweeny) MacSuain à Leòdhas na mhiann shònraichte - an obair là a leigeil seachad agus a bhith ri croitearachd làn ùine. Tha cùisean gu trang dha le na h-uain, agus tha buidheann de dheugairean a' tadhal son cuideachadh a thoirt dha. Tha e cuideachd a' buain na mònach le beagan cuideachaidh bho tarsgeir mòr iongantach, agus tha a' chiad àl uircean aig aon de na mucan aige air an lot.

It is late spring with summer on the horizon as we follow Lewis man Donald (Sweeny) MacSween fulfilling his dream of giving up his day job and becoming a full-time crofter. Lambing is fully underway as he plays host to a group of teenagers who provide a willing helping hand. His winter fuel is taken care of with the help of a mechanical peat cutter and one of his sows produces her first litter of piglets on the lot.
