My parents have been farming a rare breed of seaweed-eating sheep on a remote island in Scotland called Auskerry for nearly half a century, but age and ill health is forcing them to face a future away from their island home. With so much still to do on the farm, I've left my job as a TV reporter in Cardiff, Wales for three months in order to help. I've taken a camera and some lenses and decided to make a RU-vid series to show what life is really like on the island where I grew up, and was named after. In episode 2, my partner and I are woken up by beautiful black guillemot birds and their chicks, my mum explains exactly how to hand-shear a sheep and we spot Orcas off the beach.
Please share and subscribe for future episodes. I'd love to see your comments on the series so far as it's the first time I've done something like this!
