ME AND MINE tells the story of an Irish immigrant family who
left rural Ireland in the 1950s to find work and a better way of
life in England. But home is never far away as aunts and uncles

water in Virgin Mary-shaped bottles,and have gossip delivered
weekly in the form of the local county paper. Battling poverty,
death, illness and everday life this is a story of survival,
triumph and laughter in the face of adversity from a truly
colourful cast of characters told with wit and warmth.
