December 1st

Posted on December 5, 2023 by Bill Cowie

Been a full week butchering Venison for the Christmas market, orders now being taken. But it was nice to get out of the larder to-day and have a bit of time in the fantastic weather, long may it continue.

Just a short one to-day, more coming soon.

About Bill Cowie

I've been living on the island since April 2002, alone for the first 5 years, my partner L joined me in 2007. We manage the Island for a Danish family who bought the Island in the early 90's. Their hopes for the Island are to make it self sufficient supporting its inhabitants and that is where we come in. We look after the stock, 3 holiday cottages, machinery, boat and of course the visitors. It is pretty challenging but it is a beautiful place to live and work, we love it and strangely enough we love it even more in the depths of winter when all is quiet apart from the gales and rain. We do a bit of fishing, stock work, stalking deer and loads of other stuff. We have good support from lots of people whom we have met over the years and have become involved in the Island. Too many to mention here but keep an eye on the blog, they'll be there for sure in the future.

      Hi Rhona, sent you our recipe sheet, good luck. Track and Trace, I gave you the number, the venison is frozen and in this weather easy okay for 48 hours but it would be good to get it tomorrow, I put in a wee extra for you, Bill
