I didn’t put out a call for Sligo Food News this month, as I’ve found that very few establishments tend to get back to me – even after a follow-up email. I completely understand that everyone is incredibly busy, and I’m genuinely delighted to see places doing so well.
For this month’s blog post, I’m sharing some lovely bits and pieces I’ve come across along the way. If there’s anything you’d like included, please feel free to email me at valrobus@gmail.com – I’d love to hear from you.
