Whitehead Diamond Jubilee Wood is the only one in NI and a perfect place to learn a new skill at this practical workshop.  Hedge laying is the practice of partly cutting through each stem close to ground level… The final workshop is Saturday 27th February taken by expert, Alison Diver, she talks to Anne Marie on the programme. 

On this week’s programme, Anne Marie talks to Dr Cliff Henry, from the National Trust, about all the species of wildlife lurking in hidden places near the Giant's Causeway. There are thousands of species of wildlife, plant life and fungi living on the North Coast... 

The annual ploughing match takes places this Saturday 27th February near Portadown in County Armagh. It must be good because it’s been going for over 100 years and Kenny Gracey is the Chairman of the District Ploughing Society. He talks to Anne Marie live from the competition field in preparation for the event. 

Two hundred years ago the demand for flour was so high that a man from Armagh decided it was time to build a windmill in the city. And so he did. Robert Jackson was the entrepreneur and he put his windmill near the Cathedrals, just off Convent Road at what is now known as Windmill Hill. That was in 1810 and it’s stood there ever since. 

An Interdenominational service will be held on the evening of the 21st April at St. Macartin’s Cathedral, followed by the lighting of the Beacon in the church grounds, overlooking the historic town of Enniskillen, as part of the Queen's 90th Birthday Nationwide Celebrations. It's a cross community event organised jointly by Monsignor Peter O'Reilly and Dean Kenneth Hall .
