British Transplant Games Winner, Build a Boyfriend & The Geriatric Traveller
John talks to Lucia Quinney-Mee about winning 7 medals at the British Transplant Games & Kilkeel's Maura Ward who was diagnosed with Parkinson's - who is now travelling the world.
John talks to Lucia Quinney-Mee 17 from Ballycastle about winning seven medals at the British Transplant Games in Liverpool, after her third liver transplant.
John meets retired social worker Maura Ward from Kilkeel - known as the Geriatric Traveller - who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2013 – but who is determined to make the most of second and has gone on to travel extensively across the world including Togo and Eritrea. Her son Johnny has been a big inspiration to her - a successful travel blogger (onestep4ward) who has travelled to 194 countries so far and we catch up with him in Thailand.
John finds out how to ‘make a boyfriend’ and hears about the NI Big Sock Marathon at the Top Floor Art Gallery in Saintfield, celebrating August Craft Month.
Paula cooks up some Koftas with chickpea cream and spiced yoghurt. Plus, ahead of Stendhal Festival, we have the Sons of Burlap performing music live in studio.
