The Curious Farmer in Greystone, the Hub in Cookstown, and the Toy Library in Lawrencetown

Your Place and Mine

Expires on Monday 9:00am

We discover how a farmer in Greystone transformed a former hay shed into a pie lover’s haven. At the Cookstown Hub, preparations are underway to serve more than 100 free festive meals to the local community. In Lawrencetown, we meet the woman behind a creative ‘toy library,’ helping parents cut costs and reduce waste. Eve also catches up with Rostrevor singer songwriter Tommy Sands to share his childhood Christmas memories. There’s a special studio performance from the talented children of Foyle School of Speech & Drama. And finally, Eve takes a winter walk with bird expert Dot Blakely at Oxford Island, spying on the season’s feathered visitors. Presented by Eve Blair.
