Show Notes
This week the team discuss what’s on over the next few weeks, Halloween traditions and how well they know their work colleagues Sarah McIntosh, Martin Merrick and Hannah Furlong are back for this week’s episode. They look at some of the events coming up organised by the Irish Farmers Journal which include Women & Agriculture conference on 29 October in Co Cork, Tillage Day on 5 November in Co Kildare and Dairy Day on 16 October in Co Limerick. They also discuss Halloween traditions, which brings up the question, is Colcannon a tradition in your household? The mashed potatoes, cabbage, butter, and milk dish is an annual staple in Sarah’s Halloween festivities but the rest of the team question its purpose. Martin also puts the pressure on with a quiz centered around who knows their colleagues best. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
