We returned to stories from the Arms Trial of 1971 and Elizabeth Gibbons, the daughter of Jim Gibbons, the FF chief whip, told her family's story.

We turned then to the myriad ways people are coping with the Covid restrictions. Barbara is desperate to put her tree up and start celebrating Christmas, Treasa has her crib up and Helen has had her tree up for the last seven years and is determined to keep it up. Elizabeth is looking forward to her children returning from the US and having a proper Irish christmas.

Colette is looking for old catalogs, particularly Family Album, as they are a favorite of her aunt with dementia.
