Sally Magnusson talks to Judy Fairbairns about juggling family life and multiple business ventures on a wind-battered corner of the Hebrides.
Mother-of-five Judy Fairbairns is a woman who lived life on the edge - the edge of the country, the edge of her wits, and the edge of what it's possible for one woman to do. Juggling family life with multiple business ventures in a wind-battered corner of the Hebrides she charts it all in her memoir 'Island Wife: Living on the Edge of the Wild'. She joins Sally Magnusson to share her tale.
