New Year new workload

As ever ..
So, have we all recovered from the self inflicted hangovers, over indulgence in leftover turkey sandwhiches & turning green at the mere sight of a bottle of whiskey ?
Its nice to have some sense of normality return once again & to no longer be chained to the kitchen.
Work must yet again be done, Tis seed time. Here I sit trying to organise 100kg of seed tatties & a decent silage mix to re-seed 2 acre's with, sounds easy doesnt it... Dont be fooled ! Seed merchants who cover this area are very elusive ! I need lime too which is proving even harder to sort out and I havent even started to look for potash.
Ive got the swede seed organised, and the carrots, beans, peas, brussels, cabbage, kale, beetroot, brocoli, parsnips, peppers, chillies, leeks, squash, courgette, tomato, etc, so at least people fodder is covered. If only animal fodder could be so easy.
Tis blowing a mini gale here today but its still pretty nice, its not raining & its not cold, thankfully.

Just curious: do you have a cellar for storage? Do people on Fair Isle usually have one? And what about the other islands, the remoter ones?
