Sally Magnusson talks to Judy Fairbairns about juggling family life and multiple business ventures on a wind-battered corner of the Hebrides.

Mother-of-five Judy Fairbairns is a woman who lived life on the edge - the edge of the country, the edge of her wits, and the edge of what it's possible for one woman to do. Juggling family life with multiple business ventures in a wind-battered corner of the Hebrides she charts it all in her memoir 'Island Wife: Living on the Edge of the Wild'. She joins Sally Magnusson to share her tale.

What kind of values do you want for our society in the years after the referendum? We hear how the Church of Scotland is planning a series of open forums - and why they reckon they're well placed to do it.

Pink or blue - does how you dress your children affect them for life?

We experience some hospitality Sikh-style to find out the role of food in the faith.

And - traditional versus modern. Opinion is divided on what hymns should be sung in church. Is it possible to please all the people all the time? We'll hear from one fearless hymn writer who thinks he can heal the division.
