On this week's show...
Liam Logan takes a run down the Ards to Portavogie, to have a yarn with Carole Gilmore, who started working in the village post office in 1963. Carole has some lively memories of a lifetime spent behind the counter, and out and about forby, delivering and collecting the letters, in the days when this was done by push-bike.
Robert Huddleston
In another corner of Co Down, Liam goes to the celebrations for Robert Huddleston’s 200th anniversary as the Bard of Moneyrea, and visits the village’s new Literary Garden for five local Ulster Scots writers.
Billy Kay
Writer and broadcaster Billy Kay is back with a tale of the broad Scots tongue spoken in Maghera in the 1800s, which recalled the language in the Eneados of Gavin Douglas from 500 years ago.
