Garth & Bev

Garth and Bev decide to build a duck house to keep their feathered friends safe from the fox. While they are at it they discover how the ducks keep dry in the rain and Grandfather Lir sends them on adventure to Victorian times to see how Charles Macintosh made a coat to help people to the same thing!

Garth and Bev need to help Hoyt the Potter carry his pots to market without breaking any. With a little help from some froggy friends, the children discover bouncy frog's cheeks are the perfect way to separate the pots and keep them safe. And that's a bit like how John Dunlop filled rubber tubes with air to keep people from rattling around on the bicycles!

Garth and Bev are helping Grandfather Lir to wash and dry his cloak after some very naughty animals messed it up! With a little help from Breck the Basket Maker they find out that the cloak flaps up in the air when it dries over his fire. And that's just like how Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier got the idea for their hot air balloon.

Garth, Bev and Lir have borrowed Morc the Boatman's finest log boat to go for a picnic along the riverbank, but when it vanishes over the waterfall the children have a mystery to solve before Morc finds out.

Garth and Bev are painting pictures in Lir's cave for the Ballybeg Storytelling, but no one will see them if they can't light the place up.

It's that time of the year again when the wasps build their nests in Ballybeg and everyone is in a bit of a flap. The instructions for getting rid of them are in Lir's cave but no one can quite remember them correctly. Garth and Bev realise the wasps themselves hold the solution! Their nests are made of paper and the children can paint the instructions on it to carry it around.
