The mysteries of the Turners Guild are all in a day's work for the busiest postman in the Dales.

This week's episode of The Dales Diary begins in the town of Hawes in Upper Wensleydale, where presenter Luke Casey meeting energetic jack-of-all-trades Ivor Grace. Ivor, originally from London but having lived in the Dales for 30 years, is the local postman, and a woodturner, as well as a passionate horse carriage driver.

Next, Luke meets the widow of American painter Sam Francis, Margaret who returned to Yorkshire and has worked to restore Gledstone Hall near Skipton in Sam's memory. Margaret speaks with Luke both about the restoration work, her relationship with Sam as well as her own art. In the final report, Luke Casey meets countryman Bill Grieve near his home near Wooler in Northumberland. Bill worked in the outdoors all his life, until ill-health meant he had to give it up. He talks to Luke about his days as a gamekeeper, fisherman and shepherd, as well as showing Luke his stick-making skills.
